Game's very interesting but holy poo poo are card abilities explained badly.

They switched to a very strange keyword-based explanation style and I had to, like, re-read descriptions of cards I already knew. Holding mouse over a card in battle helps, it'll eventually show the descriptions of all of its keywords.

Also, I tried putting the House that casts Frost back into deck and playing it again with Decoy but it doesn't cast another Frost on the second Deploy. You guys think this is a feature?

EDIT: "I have seen tons of posts today wondering why sometimes Wild Hunt Hound doesn't play a Frost. SUMMON a card means pull one from your deck (if there is one). SPAWN a card means create it out of thin air. So if there are no Frosts left in your deck, you can't Spawn a Frost. Same with Wild Hunt Navigator.
Good luck out there!"

Ah. loving keywords.

Enjoying the game, and managed to scrape together enough cards to build a halfway decent Skellige deck (not a good deck, but serviceable), but man, the keyword descriptions in this game are not super helpful. I read them but it's often not clear how a card is going to work until I actually lay it down in a match.

If you keep holding the mouse over a card, eventually it shows the definitions of the keywords.

Hmm, had three Wild Hunt Riders, one with one front, two with another, two from the deck and one from Eredin and the trio bonus didn't start ticking.

EDIT: Hmmm. Doesn't even start even when I pulled all three out of my deck. Maybe because it's Challenge mode, somehow? It has worked for me before in Casual.

Did you remember to stick them in the same rank?

Oh, right.

Y'know, this strikes me as a bit too much. It's already pretty hard to get all three of them out there at the same time, without also lining them up for annihilation. I dunno.

I do think the game could give out ~20 packs to new players on top of the basic cards a.) because the starter cards are a little thin and b.) it would allow for more variation of the cards new players would see.

I think that's going to be what the singleplayer campaign is for.

I think the implication was that this is basically a soft launch and there will be no more wipes. I don't know if they outright stated this.

Err, anyone have any tips for this Dagon challenge round where he shits out an insane amount of weather? I have like 3 cards that can clear weather and he's dropping fog 5 or 6 times across the rounds and every time it revives those stupid rear end fogger things. I have no idea how I am supposed to beat this, I feel without drawing my weather clears it's basically impossible to outvalue him.

I just went NR with Foltest, got three Clear Weather, two of the dudes who also clear weather (only had two) and I restarted when I was given first move. First round, he drops fog, you drop Foltest, he drops the witches, pass. After that, you're on your own.

I'm okay with someone dropping the last card even though they've won without it. Do it myself sometimes, especially when there's poo poo still changing on the board. Six cards, gently caress 'em.

What's your deck list? I can't win poo poo with weather monsters anymore, I'm pretty frustrated too.



Do keep in mind that I am taking it easy and not power-leveling, so I am still at babby-levels. There is definitely poo poo I want to replace - Geralt comes to mind - but I dunno, I don't want to buy anything yet.

I usually just get two Riders out and pass. Maybe drop something else to gently caress with the guy, like locking or destroying something I don't want him to keep on the board.

I've had a bug happen where I drew my cards for the round and it took like a minute or 2 to finally let me discard one.

There are many bugs that are contingent on the fact that there is no "cancel" command you can make to cancel an uncompleted action, IE if you accidentally click your leader card to play it, but decide you don't want to play it before you play it.

Therefore, you get stuck in an instance of trying to play something when something else is preventing you from playing something and therefore get forced to wait til turn end and discard a card. It's happened to me a few times, and an opponent many times. Once I played someone who got stuck like that for the rest of the game and had to just discard his whole hand.

I think I cancelled poo poo with Esc before? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

EDIT: Ah. Yeah, once you've clicked the leader, you're committed, alas.

Ugh. Failed so hard.

Opponent passed with a 25 strength Mork. I shackle it then pass. Then, the next round, I am thinking Mork is staying locked if I resurrect him, so I don't immediately grab him with my Caretaker. (I also forgot that how much resurrect poo poo Skellige has, that one's on me. I should start building other faction decks.) But no, apparently resurrecting him turns his poo poo back on as well.

You have 5 mulligans. Limit yourself to 5 cantrip cards and nobody will get hurt.

I just got hosed by getting two crones and two frosts in the first draw and a crone and a frost in the second. But you can manage fine most of the time, yeah.

So what Golds should I invest in with 2,7 scrap I now have if I wanted to branch out from Monstering? I don't have any Gold Neutrals that weren't given to me at the start and, like, Zoltan for Scoia'tael.

What other faction could they possibly use if they still want to draw all their characters from the games/books? The only thing I can think of is separating the Wild Hunt from Monsters and making it it's own faction. Well there's also Toussaint but they've said it's going to be part of Nilfgaard. The only other option is making their own lore and characters for something like Zerrikania.

The Cybergwent factions, of course.

I just checked and they're studiously avoiding putting any Toussaint-related cards into Nilfgaard or any other faction for that matter, right?

Man, I've been getting stomped the last two days. And it's been, like, my Skellige deck against NR after NR. I am considering crafting some sort of a cheap NR deck to hop on the NR faction train to get the gold.
