Inreases Number of Cards which can act as Threat Tanks

Post by ECB-Bookie »

So this is a strategy that one can apply when opponent plays a threat attack unit. For example, if the opponent plays the Godfather or the Monkey King which is threat attack with Melee, a good counterstrategy for you is to play a unit who is your highest attack and possibly has an armor type like enchanted which will resist melee attack. One good card for such is the Treant. It's a low Cap card which can be added at the end to tank your opponent threat attack if they play threat attack melee or pierce. There aren't however many non-epic cards however that can act as common tanks. Introducing a couple more tanks possibly at the silver, gold, or diamond card level could be very useful. Obviously at the silver card level would be great, something like a slow unit with a high attack. Also, to have these high attack tanks at various attack and armor type will help in the tank selection depending on which unit you are trying to tank. Example

Silver Card, High Attack Type (possible threat tank) - Attack as high as 700+, possibly slow since it is a silver card


Secondly, there are creative ways to use the opponent threat attack type and devise a counter strategy. Back in ECB1 early seasons 10-20 on server 1, one could tank the Godfather with Devils Daughter. This is because the balance back then with Devils daughter is she was CD=9 and had a 700+ attack. Be levelling her up appropriately so that she could have a higher attack than your starting cards this would allow you to play her on the later rounds as a Godfather defense. I've noticed that since long ago she had been nerfed to less attack and less CD which means she can no longer do that.

The interesting consideration here is that her ability could be utilized again a high attacking hell legion card like Godfather ad Spector. Creating tanks for future cards that not only have various defense types but special abilities as well that can come into play. For another example is Jinyiwei. This card has a special ability that drains the attack of a threat unit, however, Jinyiwei has a very low attack so is very hard to use as your threat attack defense. A good suggestion here would be to change Jinyiwei Attack to be higher and CD to be higher so that it could be used as a defense to opponents threat attack cards. For example, Max Attack of 650+, CD slower to compensate like CD=10.
