battle against attachements

[araedros]

Hi all.
I am new to the game and the forums and I’ve started trying a Priest set up.
I went with Zhanna since her heeling seems (and actually comes in) handy.
While it combines well with Knight of the Golden Dawn I have lost a significant amount of games due to enemy attachments. If you are lucky enough you can deal with attachments on your allies via a healing touch, but when both enemy heroes has attachments on him and he nerfs your allies with attachments, then things get nasty.

So my question is, since the starting decks are pretty much the same, should I trade Zhanna with Jericho?
Thanks

No need for that! check out A Legend Rises! Works very well on Knight too

Severed Ties will also help you deal with any attachment on the board whether it's on your opponent or your ally. Priests also have Mass Purification which will destroy all attachments on the board.

Just run Mass Purification..? Boom, all attachments removed. Often insta win versus some heroes (warriors, some Wulven, some Hunters)

Lingering Essence makes Jericho Zhanna

Depending on the situation, Zhanna is better than Jericho with Lingering Essence. Zhanna can heal her allies, as opposed to just herself, and doesn't have to rely on there being an attachment to target and remove. Jericho requires a very specific deck build in order to be more than 40% effective against non-attachment decks. And no, I don't know that build.

Yeah you are right. But, just out of curiosity, where did the number come from?

It's an estimate based off my win rate when I was running Jericho, and then boosted further up because I know I'm not an expert Jericho player. Probably should have said roughly 40%, oh well.

thank's guys I'll try Zhanna a little more and see how it goes.
I just don't want to stack my deck with ability cards.
I aim to have 50 cards at max.
Maybe i'll drop smite or ice storm for severe ties or mass purification

[araedros]

anyways guys, I just got 4 x purification in my deck.
They've won me several games.
Thanks
