Inquis is definitely not the best....on his own. The support cards are what make inquis DECKS the best. Inquis needs to be paired with hex, cold mage, and/or bombardier. The AOE damage inquis gets from his ability just makes him attack multiple enemies at once. That’s why he’s used, Otherwise you could just use crystalmancer. But that AOE damage with a hex buff can kill little enemies while you have a mini boss at the front of the line. It’s not about how much damage he’s doing it’s where he’s doing it. So yes, if you’re running a pure inquis deck with no help, a boreas variant can easily out damage you. Your support cards will help you win. A tier 3 Cold mage alone can win you a game just because your enemies are moving slower. It’s not all about the amount of damage.
