New online competetive turn-based tactical customizable strategy game!

Abyssians have a couple cards that are crazy broken and need to be nerfed yesterday.

Wraithling Swarm. Too many champs for 3 Mana, + it facilitates the other broken cards and makes them even more extreme.
Bloodmoon Priestess. Infinite Wraithlings is just dumb.
Shadowdancer. 8+ unavoidable damage each turn, straight to your General's head from anywhere on the board? Seems balanced.
That spell that gives +2 Damage to all friendly Minions. No so bad by itself, but when there is a Wraithling Swarm or a Bloodmoon Priestess around, it just gets dumb.

Really, Wraithling Swarm + Bloodmoon Priestess is game breaking.
Tossing in the +2 Damage Spell or a ShadowDancer or a second Bloodmoon Priestess is instant GG. No coming back from that.

 

lol, dueling Sokolov now in a random game. He's fallen to the dark side.

P.S. Accept my friend invite.

 

Ahh.... their chat system sucks. It scrolled off the screen and I couldn't read what you were typing anymore.

I heard the beeping, but since I don't have a scroll bar, I couldn't read it.

 

With magmar, if you dont have 3x vindicator and 3x makantor warbeast you cant win, if you do you'll win every game

 

I've been mostly playing Songhai so far. It has been pretty fun. I am still grappling with my card selection though, as I am not sure which one works best with what I have.

Anyone done the crafting system yet? How does it work?

 

Sorry, I posted my name too soon. I have a key, but haven't activated.

 

On Crafting:
You get two currencies for disenchanting. The first is Spirit, which is a catchall currency for every card. Cards cost an amount of Spirit based on their rarity to craft: 100 for Commons, 200 for Rares, 450 for Epics and 1000 for Legendaries. The second are Shards. Each shard has a rarity - Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary - and crafting a card requires a certain number of shards of the appropriate rarity. You can also get bonus Spirit, Shards and Gold for disenchanting, and it's possible to get bonus Shards that are one rarity rank up from the card you disenchanted (disenchant an Epic and maybe get a Legendary shard, for example).

Because there are still more resets coming in the future, what I've been doing is disenchanting one or two factions at a time and trying to build a half-decent deck for one or maybe two other factions. It lets me give all the factions a fair shake without making the quests unbearable. I'm really looking forward to when I can just buy packs, because I want to play every faction.

On Magmar:
3x Makantor is a definite must. I don't have any Vindicators and am doing okay. Saberspine Tiger + Diretide Frenzy is like a mini-Makantor for an extra card. You want Mana Burns, Natural Selections, Plasma Storms, Earth Spheres and Adamantite Claws on top of the Makantors. The rest is gravy, though the Magmar basic 3-drops are both pretty solid. Of course, I'd love to have a larger Magmar collection to test out and I have no doubt Vindicators are amazing.

On Abyssian:
Yeah, that 3-core open is really rough. Wraithling Swarm just got buffed to 4 Wraithlings (instead of 3) with the last patch. I wouldn't be surprised if that gets reverted or the spell gets some other changes. And Shadowdancer doesn't really seem that OP to me. If Abyssian players can keep units on the board you're in trouble. If you can keep the board clear, there's not a ton they can do. Also, run silences and make sure you're handling minion removal in the proper order.

 

Do you need both shards and spirit to craft a card or can you use either?

 

You need both.

 

I cheated a little with the two codes I got from the forums and made two accounts.

One account I sharded everything that wasn't Vetruvian and on the other I sharded everything that wasn't Magmar.
Then crafted stuff. That gave me some pretty good stuff for both.

So I've been playing with those two. I think there is supposed to be a wipe today actually, isn't there?

 

There was a wipe last Tuesday and they announced that a week in advance. If there's supposed to be one today, I don't know about it.

 

So I got 2 spare keys, for those who want them.

 

Gotcha, I must've been reading an old post or something.

 

There's a patch today. A few bug fixes, a few changes to the way some mechanics work, and a new spell for Songhai (costs 2 cores and increases damage dealt by spells by 2 for the rest of the turn; seems like kinda' the opposite of what Songhai burn needed).

 

Finally got signed in. I played Songhai for my first PvP, I won thanks to the spell that does 5 damage to the general and a minion. I was facing Abyssian.

 

Spiral Technique is pretty stronk. Wait until you're rocking Tusk Boars, Inner Focuses, Mana Vortexes, and Jade Monks. Songhai is pretty powerful, though it can run out of steam more easily than other factions.
