Hello,

I've looked online and not found any strategies for Druid vs Druid duels (Windys)

Are there any tips or resources out there for this match-up?

I usually just slap on a storm shield and dex items (including a raven for CBF) to hit close to max block to telestomp and that seems to win against most players. However, I was finally bested by a 163 build with a lot of FRW who had tricks up his sleeve

I want to learn those tricks myself but he didn't share

Please advise - ty!

I do okay in DvD and my tactic is to surround them with nados or try to teleport behind your opponent and drop some nados. Never telestomp unless they are low life and have no oak. You can try your luck with telestomp but any halfway decent opponent will shift and upnado you (which is what you should do if someone aggros you and tries to stomp).

Obviously go full dr for this matchup. I prefer to just use oak/bear for easy recast, but you can use wolves if you like.

Any duel can be boring, just gotta make it fun!

Maxblock is a waste of points, big life and good DR % with 163 Fcr is far better, just gotta learn how to use the drood, be defensive but don't be lazy, play defense but also be assertive and play smart 🤓

Am a professional pvper back in the days
The best way to DvD is to telebehind them and throw 1-2 Nados + run 2 steps away (assuming they already NL nado’d you) and tele out.

You ONLY stomp druids when you are SOUTH of them, and you would telestomp north - if I need to explain why, then you have much learning to do!

If you see they have a pattern of stomping you in dvd you can always lure them when you know they have namelock and just up-nado.

Sometimes it’s smarter to walk nado as you set up for a nl-stomping than teleport around nado-ing randomly, as your oak will die if you teleport more. Walking will allow your oak to survive and you can stay above 7k life when you do get strayed or if they decide to stomp you

1 of 3 hits from tornado is actually blockable, but its not always very nice to be fbr’d either.

Anyway,
Frw would help a lot, northspam, predict ur enemy and learn timing to upper perfection. And then you should easy outplay most druids.

You can jump other druids with good timing.
