    Serena Thoughtripper + Mugged!

    I've recently started playing shadow era and so far it's fun (though I don't think it will be deep enough for me in the long run, but that is another topic).

    I started with Serena Thoughtripper, because I actually like the artwork a lot + her ability sounded promising.
    This was until I found out, that you can only deal combat damage to an enemy hero with one single item in the whole game.
    Comparing her to her male counterpart Lance, the ability seems quite weak now. (Or maybe Lance's ability is just too good? )

    Maybe considering rogue damage abilities like "Mugged!" (Deal 2 damage to enemy Hero. Your Hero heals 3 damage.) as combat damage (the rogue deals damage) would make her more of a competetive choice, so she has more ways of using her ability.

    Comments and thoughts welcome!

    Yes I chose Serena as first deck too due to her artwork (should we organize a Serena fan club?)

    And yes, Serena is quite weak ATM, and there is no intention to change her towards a better level, according to calmdown (the lead designer afaik)

    The next change on her is the following ability:

    4 shadow energy: +2 damage on target weapon, if right after using the ability you attack enemy hero with that weapon, enemy discards a cards on hisher hand at random.

    Apart from that, the rogue card set is complete, you'll have to wait a loooooong time before any new rogue weapon is even thought of.

    I find this stupid, they consider rogues to be "gimmicky" heroes and to never even DESERVE to be a competitive choice.

    Wow that's sad...
    So either Lance, who seems to be the common choice, or Wulven (love their artwork as well but can't come up with an interesting build)

    Well I would actually prefer her current ability over the new one, if there would be another option to utilize it, e.g. making "Mugged!" trigger her ability.
    Thus freeing up her shadow energy for Marshland Sentinel or Gravedigger's Cloak.

    The "the rogues card set is complete" you can find it in many threads on rogue strategy.

    The second one was a direct post from calmdown, saying that "not every hero can be top tier and it must remain so" I just can't find the post but if I find it I'll link it, I was just as mad as you could be now

    What in the blue hell is that supposed to mean? I better shut the hell up.
    Good thing I have to go out, maybe I'll chill down a bit.
    BUT, one thing I have to say.

    So: Gwen takes damage when her death trap kills a Deathbone, and Serena doesn't get her card when she uses Mugged.
    Shiny.

    PS:
    Pie Flavor, I don't really wanna see that post so don't bother looking for it. Thank you so much for the explanation, anyway.

    The rogue card set is complete, but there are still 10 weapons & armor to be released before the entire set is complete. Chances are that at least one of those weapons will be usable by rogues.
