Serkan is a beast!

Earned a victory today while my opponent owned all the fonts, and it was all thanks to Serkan. HE took out 2 lava monsters, 2 angels of pain, 2 trap spiders, etc, etc... wave after wave of UD beasties. Finally when the guys spider attacked Serkan, did 10 dmg, took 6 dmg and died, and then fully healed Sekan, it was gg! Honorable mention goes to Logorth the DH for detecting the spider who was sneaking up on the base and making it all possible.

OMG that match was crazy! he laid down so many traps I could hardly move. That plus he had these moga cannons that he kept maximizing and giving like 90 health. Every time I thought I had him worn down he would lay a fresh field of traps, unbelievable, the match lasted all night!

LOL
morganfart

win streak hits 4 in a row! Gotta be some kinda record. ;-)

Sadly I didn't get a screen cap of Serkan raining down lighting on them from the rise above their base. 4 in a row

FF FW - Serkan beater band
FW/FS - stealth
FW/ST - Elven Ancestor chop suey
FF FW - again Serkan beater band vs. SP

Look at all that precious cp for the

wow - poxnora trap spam......

I think I'd get tired of laying traps after awhile, game passed the 1:30 mark - you may all remember the epic battle that I had with Morganfart - it lasted about that long




the other half of the map - not quite so pretty







Update below - informed them of the blog dedicated to their match:

Poxnora rune preview: "Boghopper Reaper", now with 30% more leap and reap then the leading reapers

Never saw this rune effect before - next turn the boghopper popped over to where he should be

finally played a real "actual new player", not an alt or low ranked casual master.

The happy garu(life is wonderful, anything can happen):


The sad garu(right after being BZ'd, and right before being chopped):


The victory:


finally played a real "actual new player", not an alt or low ranked casual master. I didn't know they actually existed.
Chop suey / Elven ancestor deck was successful - played like an IS guy and only deployed 3 champs. He was bunching his guys and never destroyed the ancient elasari helm, so it got passed from champ to champ, alot.

The chop is nice, you know you only have to get an enemy down to 5 or 10 hp, and then the block does the rest.

FW/SP stealth successful in a quick win vs. KF/UD

thought he had me when he got up one font and let loose a grimlics mirror on his pumped up elven mage, but then used loot to take his elite blade and, then I hit the original for 32 damage with assasinate and and then hexed him too, then finished him with a blast from the lich king(range 8! baby) --- and he's a very expirienced player, so it wasn't a cheap win!

beat the 1st hoppin mad map with no champs..... just a little out of order

hoppin mad - beat the 3rd map of hoppin mad with no champs

hoppin mad - beat the 3rd map of hoppin mad with no champs, slapped down the tidemaster:

poxnora - defeating the the hoppin mad maps with no champs

Had been running a BG with 3 champs, FW/ST, but now completed the 2nd map with a BG with 0 champs.

yet another exo fragment on hoppin mad - thats 4 in the last 3 run thrus.....

After a long drought Serkan and BZ finally won me a ranked match

faced a tough IS gang - nothing but lumbering for my opening draw, so spent no nora - brought out Serkan on the 2nd draw. He started with a DK, popped on the granite bracers, I thought it'd be over quick for me, but pulled thru:



Notice half the champs are lumbering - thats alll I got! Even the BZ got lumbering from a earthshaker relic

another exo frag on hoppin mad!

nothing like sore winners - close game the whole way, but still he's whining.... I took out 2 Ranger elites though!

Early in the game before most of his guys were decayed. ;-)

poxnora again, played around a little with new IS, had some fun against a leet UD/SP deck

And now, thanks to the magic of clayform = 4 sheoul demons



guard tower seems to work pretty good against SE

Is it monster drop day on the single player maps? New FW champs versus hoppin mad.

Just playing thru hopping mad to try out the new FW champs,didn't get a Serkan though :-(

The other ones seems pretty good - I feel like UD, doing all that damage.

But finish the last map - and 2 exo frags drop!


Eternal Lich - pretty fun - good range - didn't have one die yet to see it respan
Ethereal Soldier - awesome new beater - we don't have to sit back building up a CoS, just run this guy out and start hittin and hexin
Utterdark Spectre - like the 1-2 range - everyone had a destealth button once he was out there that didn't seem to do anything. He did quite a bit of damage when all the frogs were stealthed
Ghost Pendant - like it - when my Spectral Emissary dropped it, it immediately cursed the elite frogs all around him

The most cp I ever earned for a normal battle in poxnora

battle went on for over 1:30 and he almost won it - was marching into my base, but he didn't kill the toll taker and it allowed me to creep back, and everntually get my guys over to his base and start beating on it before he finally surendered. 33 CP for my LK! And another 120 for my avatar

Looks bad already for the little FS/SL band of poxnora warriors challenging the mighty trials of FW

the locust rune showed up a turn or 2 late, already looks bad, but the unstable powersource is out, so we're in the game

Trials of FW, the path to victory

FW trials - victory at last, swapped out a rune for locust, that was the key, no need to worry about spite

Keys to victory:

I think the keys were the 2xAcid Elemental,Boghopper Shaman,locust(swarm!),2xMonsoon,2xSandstorm,2xNora Pearls,2xUnstable Powersource



Don't bring out any champs the first turn, but must bring out the Unstable Powersource in the first or 2nd turn, and then use the Locust to kill all the skellies that spawn. Bring out the Boghopper Shaman to heal if his rune comes up. But the locusts are disposable heros, as long as you don't lose the last one! 2 would be better in the rune dock, but I only have one.
The computer will often ignore the Nora Pearls, but don't bring it out till the Unstable Powersource is done destorying their relics. Sandstorm is good to give them 0 atk, and Acid Elemental is good for the acidic greeting(and why he's one of the top tier rares right now). The rest of the WB is pretty interchangeable.

The other thing is, since the locust has flight, filling the map with water is a good thing, although the computer kept possessing my water generators, which made the font go uncontrolled.

Poxnora again, trials of FW was gonna be beat....finally

Poxnora again..... Been playing the single player missions, trials of .... on legendary.... been stuck on the last one, for FW. After many many many many many many tries;
(excerpt from my trouble ticket):




I had the poxnora program lock up in the middle of a game. This was particularly frustrating as I was playing trials of forsaken wastes after many many many many tries, and was finally marching in for victory when this happened(I had the map covered with Skeeziks!)




I love the game, and this was the first lockup - maybe I hit a bug or something spawning so many skeezicks....... just wanted to post the proof of my impending victory:::



















And the crash. :-(

Don't bring out any champs the first turn, but must bring out the Unstable Powersource in the first or 2nd turn, and then use the Skeezick Rioter to kill all the skellies that spawn. Bring out the Boghopper Shaman to heal the Skeezick Rioters you've spawned, so your temple doesn't die of spite, and go from there. The computer will often ignore the Nora Pearls, but don't bring it out till the Unstable Powersource is done destorying their relics.

poxnora - minis on the computer - epic fail screen captures

Playing:
15/15 FW/SP vs. FS
Was being bum rushed by his whole army and he had both fonts, and the water was creeping towards me.... it looked bad for me, so he messages me,"your deck fails btw." I answered,"?" hoping he'd explain.... Then the tide turned.

The first screen capture shows where my COS had died since he had no guys left on the map. I wish I'd taken a screen capture showing just how surrounded I was, and I only had a couple guys left.




The 2nd my victory screen when he finally surrendered.
