Dreadcharger
Type: Creature Rarity: Rare Charges: 3 Orbs: Power: 60 Attack: 600 Defense: 520 Weapon type: S Size: M
Description: A necessity in every Shadow deck, mainly because of Swifta. Most of the times you will start a game with Dreadcharger, heading quickly for a Power Well. Effective against small units. It has interesting upgrades, giving it The Reaping ability. It allows you to shield Dreadcharger with other creature's life points - he then becomes a true force to be reckoned with. |  |
Swift - unit moves at high speedMotivate Type: Spell Rarity: Rare Charges: 3 Orbs: Power: 25 Spur - sacrifices one of the player's units to motivate the remaining ones of the same kind (also allied units). Causes them to deal 50% more damage for 20 seconds. Reusable after 30 seconds. Description: You can use it if many units of the same kind. Most often used on small creatures (it rarely pays off to scarifice a powerful troop for a 20-seconds bonus). Of course it's best to cast it just before assaulting your opponent. |  |
Nasty Surprise
Type: Spell Rarity: Common Charges: 5 Orbs: Power: 60 Foul Play - changes own unit into a living bomb that explodes immediately, dealing 150% of current amount of life points as damage to both enemy and player's units in 25 metres radius, up to 33% per target. Knocks back small and medium units. Reusable after 5 seconds. Description: It's best to use it on cheap units with as much health as possible - at the first Orb, Wrathblades do well as living bombs. It may be sometimes well-advised to detonate a Dreadcharger, since it has Swift, allowing it to quickly get among enemies. As with other spells you have to be careful not too damage your own units. |  |
Embalmer's Shrine
Type: Structure Rarity: Rare Charges: 1 Orbs: Power: 30 Defense: 1032
Description: A card useful for players who like to reap the rewards of amassing units' corpses. It's not too expensive and can be safely cast at the 2nd Orb if you plan to use the abilities of cards such as Shadow Phoenix or Furnace of Flesh. |  |
Pick over the Bones - activate, to increase the number of life points gained from corpses. For the next 40 seconds, all unit remains in the game will give 170% more life points, when they are gathered. Can't be used for 60 seconds after building the structure. Reusable after 60 seconds (Power Cost: 50).Life Weaving
Type: Spell Rarity: Uncommon Charges: 4 Orbs: Power: 75 Pain Link - entire damage dealt to target unit is reduced by 30%, while 50% of the damage is transfered to both friendly and enemy units in 15 metres radius. Lasts 20 seconds. Reusable after 20 seconds. Description: Not a bad card though you could spend its power cost on something like another unit of Forsaken. Unholy Power is much better and only 25 Power more expensive, but it's only available with the 2nd Orb. |  |
Darkelf Assassins
Type: Creature Rarity: Uncommon Charges: 4x6 Orbs: Power: 50 Attack: 570 Defense: 450 Weapon type: S Size: S
Description: Better archers than Forsaken for the same price, with a similiar buffing effect. Worth having on your walls and using in PvE - more so, since after the upgrades, the time they can't move after using Unholy Trance drops down to 10 seconds, and the damage dealt while using this ability raises to 20. |  |
Bow Attack - every second unit shoots arrows at enemies, dealing 12 damage.
Unholy Trance - unit can't move and deals 16 damage for 10 seconds. When the effect wears off, Darkelf Assassins remain immobile and can't attack for 20 seconds. Reusable after 20 seconds.Furnace of Flesh
Type: Structure Rarity: Uncommon Charges: 3 Orbs: Power: 75 Defense: 1900
Description: Spending 75 Power in PvP on a building that you're not sure if you're going to use is not a very good idea. For the very construction cost to return to you, units of total 3750 maximu life points outpot would have to die in the building's range, and that's not really likely to happen in a battle between players. Only useful in PvE, in situations when you're defending - in such cases you can really profit form Furnace of Flesh. |  |
Recycle - collects all corpses in 25 metres radius, to transfer 2% of their maximum life points from the Void to your Power pool.Nightcrawler
Type: Creature Rarity: Common Charges: 4 Orbs: Power: 60 Attack: 640 Defense: 745 Weapon type: M Size: M
Description: A unit with an effect similiar to that of Forsaken, but lasting 8 seconds longer. Very good against medium units. It also has Swift, allowing it to chase fleeing enemies. |  |
Frenzy - unit deals 50% more damage for 20 seconds. When the effect wears off, Nightcrawler will die.
Swift - unit moves at high speed
