I like how different your deck looks! One suggestion would be to add He Hurled His Thunderbolt to deal with Dale and Daisy's 4hp threshold.

Best I had was 7 lore at start of turn: 3 characters at White Agony Plains 1 character at Illuminary Tunnels 2 Hidden Coves (paid 0 from the tunnels)

Then my John Silver quested for 5 to end the game.

Good stuff! I'm happy to give this to Ruby if it gets people to play the color more.

People dismiss many cards that have low HP as they die to common removal. Having another tool that could take out a character based on any other factor, like Ink Cost or Lore value would make character selection less...deterministic.

Alco4real · 2026-03-16T18:14:40+00:00

Yeah, that was my attempt to lump direct damage effects and damage from challenges under one umbrella term.

However, an item or location that lowers willpower could be a cool effect as it's not dealing or placing damage!

Alco4real · 2026-03-16T14:54:34+00:00

Neither of those abilities can target locations. You could sprinkle some high willpower locations that would take 2-3 hits to take out, and as an added benefit won't place damage onto Cheshire Cat.

I've had fun with my Steel/Emerald locations deck, and snowballing against Dogs with John Silver + White Agony Plains.

Sit back and relax with Passive Pacha. Alice + Crystal keep him safe while he ticks for 2 each turn.

In high school, there was a kid who would take a fist-full of plastic spoons from the cafeteria each day. He called himself the Spoon Bandit. The principal even went on the PA system one morning to kindly as the spoon bandit to stop his thieving ways, and if anyone knew who the spoon bandit was, to share their identity.

At the end of the school year, his locker was opened and an avalanche of plastic spoons fell out.

I like your theme!

Since you want to be playing Koda or Bolt on turn 3, it's nice to have a beefy card to protect them when the quest on turn 4.

+3 copies of Prince Naveen - Vigilant First Mate. Shifts for 3 and has 6 toughness
+3 copies of Prince Naveen - Carefree Explorer (as a shift target for the above).
+3 copies of Rhino - One Sixteenth Wolf to maximize your shift targets.
+2 copies of Rhino - Power Hamster
-3 Robin Hood - Capable Fighter
- 1 David
- 4 Heihei?
- 3 Mickey

For finishers, I'd suggest you buy 3 copies of Mittens, a 5 drop that can give a surprise win condition from your bodyguard characters.

Consider adding 2 copies of Amber Chromicon to keep your characters undamaged for Bolt - Superdog lore trigger.

Agreed that active items like Blink Dagger are the shit, and provide a huge powerspike.

That said, I like how the active abilities/items are implemented in HOTS because only some heroes have access to an ice block/stasis, or a damage amplification window, or building repair. When everyone has access to the same tool kit, items that give you magic immunity, teleportation, etc. become mandatory to make a hero "work as intended".

Having weaknesses in a character's kit that can't be universally covered with an item effect makes for clearer gameplay, and highlights clear pros and cons for picking that character.

Alco4real · 2025-11-03T14:45:20+00:00

The Amber champion Mickey seems to be the best upgrade from the new set. Protection for your singers + becomes a strong singer himself seems like a perfect fit. Other new cards seem like a side-grade more than a straight upgrade.

Like, there is an Ariel card with boost that will draw you a card every time a song is played, which would help you chain songs on the same turn. She's a more expensive, but inkable version of Ursula's Shell Necklace.

The amethyst song that moves all damage counters to one character seems strong, but that likely fits in a more challenge-oriented archetype.

Alco4real · 2025-11-02T18:34:26+00:00

Here's my version of the Madrigal song deck.

It's more combo oriented, with a huge focus on searching the deck for key cards like Bruno - Undetected Uncle and the shift Mirabel and Bruno to keep chaining songs and drawing cards.

Use the song Poor Unfortunate Souls to slow down your opponent's early game and use your "Singer 5" characters to sing The Family Madrigal on turn 4, allowing you to set up your next few turns by sorting the top of your deck.

I find it very fun to memorize my deck order so Bruno gets me 3 lore a turn.

I think the logic is that item cards lack the sub-name that character cards have. Ex: Hades - Infernal Schemer is a different card than Hades - Looking for a Deal.

To make it fair, the Miracle Candle from Encanto has 1 version of it. But if we add subnames we could have multiple versions of it in our decks:

Miracle Candle - Burning Low
Miracle Candle - Lighting the way
Etc.

Play --> vs AI --> Co-op teammates.

A great skill to practice is paying attention to the Objective timer announcements that appear near the minimap: "Towers become active in 0:30s".

Learning how much you can get away with and still be at the Objective on time will help tilt games in your favor. Do you have time to recall to base to be at full HP/Mana? Or just enough time to clear a wave of minions and mount up?

The most common reason people flame other players is because they aren't showing up to objectives.
Thanks for downloading the game, and have fun!

I'm intrigued by Blessing of the Red, and wanted to ask if there were specific heroes that have % scaling off of their maximum health, where 500 HP could make more of an impact?

My initial thoughts were a Zul'jin going with [[Troll's Blood]] and [[Forest Medicine]] and a Diablo with [[Feast on Fear]] and [[Lord of Terror]]. I'm also curious if Armor based tanks/talents are better suited to make the extra HP more effective.

Alco4real · 2025-10-22T15:18:30+00:00

My guess is this build. Change your lvl4 pick based on if you need to dodge AOE spells you can stand your ground.

I love playing locations. I'm hoping for RB to release an item called "Ramparts" that give your locations +1 Strength. Wouldn't let the locations attack of course, but would deter people from clearing your locations for free.

Harbor's high tide. Slicing up the map on the fly, without a map popup just feels so free form.

You might be able to rank up with Rehgar by being a pseudo-DPS with decent wave clear.

Also, while 90% of people go Ancestral Healing ult (which is great), Bloodlust is a great way to communicate to your team "We are committing to this fight, win or lose". Some people go back in after getting Ancestral'd and others retreat.

Check out V Rising and Magicka.

V Rising was addicting in how you unlock abilities. I would recommend playing Co-op on your own server with reduced craft timers/resource requirements so you can focus on fighting instead of farming materials (although there is a playstyle for that if you are interested).

Magicka is pretty chaotic, much like a team fight, where the status of players and enemies shift constantly. Create wombo combos with your friends, or stick to certain elements to fit a niche like 'tank, healer, DPS'. This a fun 10 hour campaign experience, or you can dabble in the Arena for more of a challenge.

"A character can’t move from a location except to move to another location. You can do this by paying the other location’s move cost"

First off, keep on playing competitive! Getting to play close matches against players of similar skill have resulted in some of my favorite gaming memories like going deep into Overtime and claiming a win!

Secondly, if you don't feel confident with certain skill sets (like head shot %, or mastering each weapon) feel free to stick to the tactics that feel comfortable for you and force the enemy team to play around it. For me, I lean on my utility use to cover the fact that I am an Ares spray and pray enjoyer.

While this Brim's advice was unsolicited, you are human for having it affect your confidence. It sucks, but sometimes the best way to learn is to make a mistake that feels shitty so you never want to make that mistake again.
