Untargetable sounds like "
hidden" to me which is a mechanic only
granted by four cards. Making Kairos hidden would make him grossly overpowered imo. On the flip side however, one would not be able to buff him through targeting. Either way, I doubt we'll ever see a fatty who is permanently hidden.
Now admittedly I don't notice him used in many decks or effectively for that matter. As others have mentionned, he can be used with the following heroes/classes and then perhaps some of these complimentary cards:
Gravebone:
-
Shadow Font => You can revive him using
Gravebone's hero ability for a cost of 4CC rather then having several 6CC Kairos
Vess Swifthands: (or other Warrior)
-
Mocking Armor =>Draw the attention away from Kairos and to your hero therefore activating Kairos ability
(optional) -
Smith Shop => Get
Mocking Armor on the board at turn 5 to set up for Kairos
-
Ellos' Resolve => Give Kairos some extra protection along with a small buff
(optional) -
Bloodthirsty => Can give you some nice drawing power especially if you got
Mocking Armor out.
Elementalis: (or other Elemental)
-
Mocking Armor =>
see above
-
Synchronicity => Gives a nice 2CC option to return Kairos to your hand (following turn) if he has been
Crippling Blow 'ed or is in a near death situation. Plus you can wipe pretty much any baddy off the board, even that annoying
Aeon.
(optional) -
Bloodthirsty =>
see above
(optional) -
Life Infusion => ramp up that HP!
As per below...
If you are referring to
Mind Control then no ally is safe making
Dakrath no different than Kairos. However Dak does have the upper hand when it comes to damage and impairment resistance. Personally I think it's all about trying to get an ally's ability(ies) to serve your advantage and deck synergy.
Is Kairos the best? No. Can he be used effectively in his current state? I believe so. He's perhaps just a bit less versatile or appealing than other 6+CC's.
