Campaign News (Baduruu)

[Gondorian]

I'm very pleased to announce we have released the first Shadow hero story in the campaign, which is told over the ten 1-star difficulty missions on Map 1 for Baduruu.

To access it, simply load up your favorite Baduruu deck (or choose to load the Starter deck) and head to the Campaign screen.

Do let us know how you get on and whether you enjoy the dialogue, since this has been written by a new writer, who we hope to use on future hero missions.

Thanks for reading and good luck!

It's good. Keep them coming!


But why is Baduruu calling Elementals Aldmor?

And who are Celestials?!

I would recommend going down on some fancy words. Some parts of the dialogue have overdramatic vibe to them.

Arthyle still pops up on normal on first mission.

The Aldmor that ascended became the Elementals.

You want a reduction in fancy words? I don't recall many being in there.

Thanks for the feedback nevertheless.

Thanks, I've fixed that now.

Doing hard mode atm with Baduruu. Most need special tech in decks but are reasonable, except in two cases:

Elementalis took me forever to beat. Double Spark + Ogloth as openning, Bloodlust on t3, Mind Controls later on. Some of these would need to be removed imo. Managed to win by stalling with Rain Delay and ITF and then using Yahari: Valley of Doom to get rid of weenies + Frozen Horror to deal with Ogloth and to control the board from that point onward. Basically everything needs to be drawn at perfect time to win.


Hero: Baduruu

Allies (6):
1x Spitfire Hound
1x Snowland Spotter
4x Forgotten Horror

Abilities (12):
4x Into the Forest
4x Pack an Extra
4x Rain Delay

Items (9):
4x Bazaar
1x Arthyle's Crypt
4x Soul Seeker

Locations (4):
4x Yahari: Valley of Doom

= 32 cards ~ 12300g

T2: Bazaar
T3: Rain Delay/ITF or hope AI doesnt play Bloodlust which sometimes happens.
T4: ITF/Rain Delay
T5: Rain Delay/ITF
T6: Depends if AI plays Belladona. If he does then you need to play Soul Seeker + ITF and kill Belladona before playing Forgotten Horror, othervise FH will kill Beladona not Ogloth. If he plays more 3cc allies then play Yahari and Forgotten Horror
T7 Depending what happened on previous turn you will play Forgotten Horror or a weapon and hope he plays another Beladona so you can heal. At some point AI will use Mind Control on your Forgoten Horror.

from this point onwards play Horrors and heal with SS

Arthyles Crypt is there because AI has more cards than you and you will otherwise run out of ways to kill his allies since he has MCs to use on your FH.
Spitfire Hound is here to kill your own bazaar once you make your set up so AI runs out of tempo. Another thing you can do is to stall late game a turn by playing horror and rain delay and then next turn use Spitfire Hound to destroy Rain Delay.

Other hard one is Lance. Still haven't beaten it. Too much damage early. It looks like Baduruus ability is one turn too late and not even Shadow Font helps. At least Priests of the Light should be removed from AIs deck, or make it so it draws them late in the game. Or changing Kurths to Marshland Sentinels so they die to Emore Crossbow at least.

If I am missing some way to deal with these bit better, help would be appreciated.

Finally managed to stabilise vs Lance and then AI froze, what a cheater!

Hero: Baduruu

Allies (6):
2x Plasma Behemoth
4x Wendith Eagle-eye

Abilities (10):
4x Flaming Arrow
2x Hunter's Gambit
4x Shadow Font

Items (13):
4x Snare Trap
2x Ricochet Trap
3x Soul Seeker
4x Grundler's Double

= 30 cards ~ 10280g


AI Starts with Erika and Kurth

t2 Snare Trap - Kills Nightshade/Dirk
t3 Flaming Arrow on Erika/Ricochet Trap - Erika dies, AI plays PotL
t4 Shadow Font, summon Groundlers Double, kill PotL - AI plays Potl, uses ability on Kurth
t5 Play Wendith, kill Kurth - AI suicides PotL into weapon, plays PotL and Nightshade
t6 Kill PotL and Nightshade - AI plays Lay Low and Bridgette
t7 Nothing/play Plasma - AI does nothing
t8 Kill bridgette - AI bugs out

[Veles]

I did the same order but this time I had SS in play not GD and I decided to keep Bridgette alive instead of killing her. AI then played Assassinate on her to kill my Wendith. Game didnt bug out and I got sweet Sac Lamb foil after getting the win. I guess either GD or not having a target to play Assassinate is what breaks it.

The SS route to win looks like:

t2 Snare Trap - Kills Nightshade/Dirk
t3 Flaming Arrow on Erika/Ricochet Trap - Erika dies, AI plays PotL
t4 Shadow Font, summon SS, kill PotL - AI plays Potl, uses ability on Kurt
t5 Play Wendith, kill PotL - AI suicides Kurt into weapon, plays PotL and Nightshade
t6 Kill PotL and Nightshade with Flaming Arrow/Gambit - AI plays Lay Low and Bridgette
t7 Nothing/play Plasma - AI does nothing
t8 DO NOT KILL bridgette - AI uses assassinate on Bridgette and kills Wendith.
t9 Play Wendith/Plasma, you can kill Bridgette now.
