In every case X = 8 - the number of players the team is fielding - the number of players that team has set to attack above
(ie if a team is fielding a General only and it's sending 3 players to attack above, X = 8 - 1 - 3 = 4.

Spoiler for Rules:

7.2. SUPPORT TEAM ACTIONS
Before the end of each round (during Team battles) the Lieutenant will submit one action (either Defend or Attack Team X) for each Support Team member during the next round.

If you attack a Team that has at least one person defending their supply lines, you do battle.  If you win you take a relic from that team.  If you lose nothing happens.
If you attack a Team that has no defenders your attack is successful and you take a Relic.
If Lieutenant doesn't submit actions by the deadline the default action for each player is to Defend.
If the number of players attacking a team is greater than the number of relics, the attacking teams with the most relics instead become defenders of their own supply lines.

7.3. SUPPORT TEAM DECKBUILDING
- Support Team decks may use cards that are in the vault, not in the vault, or any combination.
- At least 50% in-element cards
- No upgrades
- No rares
- If you are attacking you may not use any cards the Team used during the previous round in battle (plus all pillars/pendulums are usable).
- If you are defending you may use a number of cards that the Team used during the previous round of battle equal to the number of players defending the lines (plus all pillars/pendulums are usable).
- Deck creation can be a collaboration between Support teammates, Main Team members, or a solo act.  There's no need to submit decks prior to using them.

Spoiler for Example:

During last round's battles, Team Aether players used the following non-rare cards:

Lightning
Dimensional Shield
Phase Dragon
Parallel Universe
Phase Spider
Fractal
Deflagration
Phoenix
Nova
Momentum
Graboid
Fog Shield
Horned Frog

Aether's Support Team actions for the round were "Defend: 2, Attack Air: 1"  The attacking player may not use any cards from the above list but may use all other cards (and all pllars/pends regardless of whether they're in the above list).

The defending players may each use up to six copies of up to two cards from the above list plus all other cards (and all pillars/pends regardless of whether they're in the above list).  One of the defending decks could use six copies each of Lightning and Dimensional Shield, the other's could use four copies of Dimensional Shield, six copies of Phoenix, and all water cards, for instance.

7.4. SUPPORT TEAM BATTLES
- When the round begins Warmasters will take the Lieutenant submissions and create matchups using specific player names.  Teams are heavily encouraged to use these, though there is no penalty for substitutions.
- Note that if a team's actions are "Defend: 1, Attack Air: 1" and the team's three Relics are attacked by three players, the two team members will have a total of four battles during the round.
- A player may not change decks or marks between battles.
- Battles are "best-of-three" which means that each battle consists of up to 3 matches with the winner being the first player to get 2 wins.
- Battle winner (followed by loser) posts his deck and a short match description in the Battle Results forum.  Example title: Support - (Air) KingKiller 2 - (Water) LordOwner 1

Support team actions were supposed to be submitted during last round's duels...? I would've wanted to know that a bit earlier...

Next time look here or here or here.  Or here.

Also the Warmasters are working hard to be extremely easy to contact.  Reach out to us if you have questions.

i gotta agree with beef here, everything got anounced perfectly with a clear message: send actions now but we didn't have that for support battles...

Posting it in rules and in the general's private section AND in a post JUST for what you have to check isn't enough? What do you want, WMs to PM each of us with reminders over rules that we should've read about 9000 time already and know by heart?

just saying that it was a bit stupid of my part too, but many other teams also didn't notice (or just like to defend...)

Or attacked entropy and got RNG'd out of being able to attack.

Or attacked entropy and got RNG'd out of being able to attack.

The RNG is actually the third tiebreaker.  "If the number of players attacking a team is greater than the number of relics, the attacking teams with the most relics instead become defenders of their own supply lines."  There is an addendum to this, and that is that the next determinant is the number of cards in the vault.  If there is a tie among teams with the greatest number of relics, that tie is broken by the number of cards in their respective vaults. 

For example:  , , and are all attacking who has two relics.  and each have three relics, and has two.  has 258 cards in their vault, has 240 in theirs, and has 270 in theirs.  The two attackers in this case would be and , with 's attacker set to defend ( has the lowest number of relics so they get to attack, and has fewer cards in their vault than does, so also gets to stay on the attack).

Looks like Entropy is a popular target...

Round 2 is up

[Cheesy111]

Shouldn't Earth's defender be specified or RNGed? Or am I missing something?

[Poker Alho]
