The "Burn 'em down" strategy

Post by Pr0digy »

I just wrote a post on one of my strategy (the tanking strategy), which is my favorite. But another favorite is the Burn 'em down strategy, which means you throw your most powerful cards at the opponent in an attempt to burn them down faster than they can keep their players alive.

One of my most powerful setups is this:

3 x Princess Mias
2 x Slashing Strike
1 x Nearly anything else

That last card can be something else that dishes out damage, like a meteor or even another card. A Gargoyle here can prevent the initial attacks from your enemy from hitting your precious Mia's.

Mia + Slashing Strike one-shot kills most cards.

One thing I do like about this setup is that fights are usually very short, and I tend to win slightly more (about 60%) than I lose (about 40%). Most games end within 30 seconds (one way or the other), which gives me more time to put in a ton of matches, earn experience, and the winning advantage helps my money to grow. A lot of the battles will only last 9 seconds, as I take out all their cards in one round of attacks from Mia.

" 3 x Princess Mias

This is definitely one of my favorites as well. I feel the 6th card is best used as some kind of damage negator. Frost Trap / Angela's Amulet (my fave)/Pit Trap. A heal can work pretty well too.

If you run into someone who's rolling two Blade Shields (100% + damage gets delt back to attacker) you're screwed. But thats definitely rare to see. Or if someones got a Trap Detection to negate a Slashing Strike or two. But yea I do enjoy these, becase theyre over pretty quickly, one way or another lol

Hi, nice to see pros shared some awesome strats to newbie like me :)

Btw i have a question : Mia's cd is 9 which is neither high or low, so what will happen if the opponent has a lower cd card to attack first or a area spell card like Blizzard.. they will negative Mia's effect from being HP reduce.

Thanks!
