I still have exactly 0 epics, but a full quiver of maxed EB+ and non-EB legendaries (11 in all) and I can usually at least hold my own w/ a full suite of epics; of course, elemental advantages matter as do the ever annoying dodges. Also, if u consider your guild elemental bonuses, EB+ are very competitive.

My theory, most epics are not maxed (maybe upwards of 75%-80%), especially the newer ones. If an epic is under lv 80, a maxed EB+ can beat it outright most of the time (again depending on elements), and epics on players under lv 100 are virtually worthless unless maxed completely.

Now, consider this strategy. Put a strong DEF armor on ur first knight (I use my earth knight w/ Wolf+), this will allow you to absorb blows so that by the time u get to ur second knight (I use Kramp+ on my main) you will be able to give a crit, hopefully to their 2nd knight (I often save my crit until second knight, but the game will always use ur opponent's crit when charged which is usually wasted on my first knight allowing me to get one up on the next). I use one of my strongest ATK armors so i can get maximum strike when I use that crit (I would use Drake+ but it's weak to earth and several people use this strat w/ Tect so u could expose urself if not careful.  So I use Drake+ or Glacius+ on the back end b/c, again, they are naturally strong.  Not to mention both have air element so if water (like Mael or Cloud) beats Kramp, I at least have a partial elemental advantage.

So, I encourage u to enhance Wurm+ if you've got it since it has better ATK than Wolf+ and only slightly lower DEF which will be negligible. i will be replacing Wolf+ w/ Wurm+ and may then fuse my maxed Wolf+ (we'll have to see tho). In all, I usually have ~80% win percentage during GW and that includes losses incurred from wasting Sent and/or Guard a few times as needed and I almost always try to farm GMs. The only armor I shy away from is RKal+, damn thing just scares me... not even Chromatic instills fear, only RKal. Of course, any epic+ will crush just about anything, but those are relatively rare.

Good luck!
