You don't absolutely need an Emblemer for Tournament if you have 5 more Panel Up HiPos in the deck. 4 is probably fine too.

Not running an Emblemer means you can run another nuker. Besides, an Emblemer is only useful if you get emblem trolled, while a nuke is always useful.

It's ok to skip attacking a turn or two if there are no appropriate emblems and you don't want to risk answering that tri-colour, since a correct off-colour answer will charge your skills anyway.

Look out for offensive fire spirits with 7 iTTC or faster nukes. A 8 turn finish in R17 can usually get 1st place. Zaael from Orlha comes to mind, other spirits may pop up in reruns or new events. Michaela, alt Riverta and Isabeli are ideal, so you just need 2 more. An undivided trimagician like Asmodeus will help a lot in the fodder rounds.

Looking at available fire spirits from Crystal Invoke, another Michaela/Isabeli would be great. Saran seems decent, she can HP shave the boss (6 iTTC) and destroy the Mad Rock. Shamia can be a cleanup attacker and has nice HiPos (300 team ATK).
