Introduction to card : Exploding Dwarf- P5

This article is in the continuation of my previous post in which the card Fire Beetle was discussed.
The next card we are discussing today is Exploding Dwarf. We will check the abilities and usability of this card.

Card Name: Exploding Dwarf

Splinter Category: Fire

Rarity: Common

Mana Cost: 5

Abilities: Blast, Piercing from level 3 and onward,Retaliate from level 6 and onward,Trample from level 9 and onward.

Attack type: Melee.

When to use: This card is very strong card to play in ruleset like melee mayhem or super sneak which allows all melee monster to attack irrespective of their position. Blast ability cause damage to the nearby monster, piercing help in damge the health if overall damage value is greater armor. At higher levels it has retaliate and trample properties. All these properties make this card a real killer and it look like must to use card in specific rule set of melee mayhem or super sneak.

When not to use: The health of card is 1 and putting the card in first potion is risky because a single successful attack against this card can cause you to lose this card . High mana cost of the card is also one of the factor that will prohibit you from using it at low mana battles. Use of this card is not suitable in the normal game play.

How to counter the card: I will suggest you to use this card yourself in ruleset like melee mayhem and super sneak. Use this card with combination with slowness inducing card ,so that you get t use your card strike first.

I hope to see you in battlefield and enjoying the game.
