Iā€™m actually gonna have to just say GG. Without tech 2 I canā€™t get any defense up against those birds. Wp

Wanna go again?

I dunno what Iā€™m trying to do exactly. He probably doesnā€™t have much to patrol with, so I think this is a threatening play. Donā€™t see how he kills Grave, and that means he should be pretty menacing next turn. After all he only has one offense units to defend with next turn, and he wouldnā€™t dare defend with a hero. I think I am safe to hold off on tech 1 and just tech reversal on the off chance I can pick off a hero

GG! I donā€™t think a tech I break is worth it unless you can continue to follow it up with more building destruction. An alternate line for your T3 would have been to kill Dog with Monk, Monk lives, then hit Tech I for 3 with Graves. I think setting up a TI and TII kill in the future would have been a stronger aggressive start. But hey, thatā€™s why we play games right? :slight_smile:

I want to see how long I can still survive. Figuring I am done though

GG Sorry for the bad draws! :frowning:

I have had some pretty nice draws lately, Firebirds lined up right on time and then hitting my Gunship was obviously really good. I think MOST Tech III units look underwhelming compared to Gunship. White, in particular, has some pretty bleh Tech III units imo. I really like Daigo, but heā€™s super expensive, weirdly fragile (if they kill the building, heā€™s done), and since he canā€™t patrol all that investment gives you nothing to block with. Jade Fox Iā€™ve written about IN DETAIL (Codex Card Discussion - Jade Fox is Underwhelming). There is a lot of anti-synergy in Ninjutsu that feels bad compared to sayā€¦Finesse or Truth which have straightforward tribal synergies. And then Oathkeeper is considered to be the best tech III for White. Heā€™s super strong as he CAN play defense as well as just obviate the patrol line completely which is very Tech III-feeling.

Oathkeeper has always seemed to me one that only really works out if you have the advantage. The oath slows you down once played.

And is 5 for daigo really that expensive? Itā€™s an untargetable 6 health building, so itā€™s not nearly as easy to pick off as most. Plus the +1/+1 for heroes helps for defense

I wanted to try Jade Fox for the first time, but after playing her I realized I had just confused myself on what her bonuses were. Mixing up Setsuki ultimate with jade fox meant no haste for ninjas, something I wanted from that play and messed up.
