Sunset Canyon
A 1v1 duel ladder with equalised Tier-3 troops — only commander level, talents, skills and gear apply. Runes, city skins and attack buffs are stripped out: a pure test of commanders and pairings.

Rules & routine
Five free attempts/day; extra attempts cost Challenge Tickets. Seasons reset Sunday 00:00 UTC; you get rewards win or lose.
Aim for five dispatched marches (needs City Hall 22). Run late (≈23:55 UTC, ~23:50 Sunday) so opponents can’t knock you down before reset.
Level beats rarity early — a level-60 Epic outperforms a level-20 Legendary. Expertise Sun Tzu and Joan of Arc first, then Boudica.
Positioning
Tanks in front (Richard is the premier tank), nukers behind. Position your counters directly opposite the enemy (e.g. Saladin across from Richard).
Avoid cavalry here — they’re countered by Richard/Martel/Sun Tzu.
When a commander levels, extra troop capacity is NOT auto-added to your defence — re-set your Sunset-Canyon defence periodically.
