Hello, I have played the campaign up to lv. 6 and now all I am getting in my deck is move cards where I am getting creamed. Is this some sort of engineering? Thks. new player
Welcome to the Card Hunter forum, jpeek! No, it's just something that can happen when cards are set in a random order. I go through the same thing. It isn't as noticeable when you draw well and win as when you draw poorly and get creamed. You can improve your odds a bit by using items with cycling traits, but most of these cost tokens, and you won't have many tokens at level 6. If you're just starting, you probably don't have many good items yet either. You can position yourself to limit exposure, and make the enemy come to you. This will usually give some time to hang onto the good cards, and discard the junk. Avoid overextending yourself. I hope this helps. If you get stuck, you can find helpful information by searching the adventure name in the Adventure Discussion and Strategy board. Good Hunting!
When I draw a hand of movement cards for my entire party it's like the game telling me to reposition or retreat. It's not always a good time for that, but I work with what I got.
Also: This was a successful 'strong stab' from an opponent...through a barrier? Dear Sir Veza and hatchermit, Thank you for the reply. It still seems like a "coincidence" that I was experiencing this on a lv. 6 campaign board where the only tips on overcoming were two. Of the two, one recommended "alot of move cards." I would like to play multiplayer but I couldn't find a way to import my campaign party and the pre-made party gave me so many new equipment items that I couldn't enjoy using them after 'grooming' my characters from the campaign. It IS a card building game but I don't see any real control over building a deck in Card Hunter.
It is only impassable, not blocked. http://wiki.cardhuntria.com/wiki/Game_Terrain You can use all your characters in either MP or SP. No matter which level they have in SP, they all become level 18 characters in MP. And it seems you are at one of the adventures where the difficulty increases, there are others and you must always adjust your deck to the problem at hand. The Trog levels are armor heavy, so try to equip your Wizards with Armorbane Pendant,Viscous Locket and for an overall great damage for your level Burning Bangle. If your Priest has a few Wavering Faith, that can also help immensly. If you are interested in MP, you might want to try to join a League game. The 50 gold fee might seem much to you but even if you get last or don´t play at all you get 15 items, 3 of them at least rare. That is simply wrong. It might seem to you atm, but wait a while after you amassed a bigger collection and it might get more obvious to you.
Oh. Yeah, there's not too many places to run to on Frozen Bridge. It is not an easy map at first. Especially with those two Gougers blocking the way. In addition to what Questor wrote, you will also want to look into any items you have that have cards with the "Penetrating" keyword. This will ignore the Gouger's annoying Crude Plates. I see by your screenshot that your warrior has Penetrating Cut so you probably already know that. Another suggestion I have is to get that Dwarf Priest up there to tank the damage while your Wizard and Warrior attack a single Gouger from opposite sides. This also lets you bypass the Crude Plates since it will only work from the front. Another key aspect is Focus Fire on one guy until he's dead.
And about armor removal, the Attack of the Artifacts Adventure "Valley of Tezkal" should be available to you. If you finish it, you get awarded with the Trog Melter staff, which is also very useful. But beware, that adventure is very tough.
Its wrong if you have a game to wait for. Do we have a game to wait for here at cardhunter Questor?...thats a 'game play' topic case your wondering.
The cards are all attached to items, so the control comes from being able to select which items you equip. This is considerably less powerful than being able to select individual cards to include in your deck, and that is the intent. This is a loot-chase game. Low level common and uncommon items (those available in the standard shops) tend to be pretty weak. Some of the higher rarity low level items are quite good, and some of the low rarity mid and high level items are also quite good. The mid and high level shops don't appear on the campaign map until certain adventure levels are unlocked, but are always available in multiplayer. I didn't realize this until I'd finished the campaign, and it would have helped considerably if I had. You might want to give them a look. Building different types of decks becomes easier once you get a broader selection of items. You will need to adjust your party to be effective against the enemies you face in each adventure. It is possible to run the entire campaign with a 1/1/1, but other builds - such as warrior/warrior/priest - might be better in some adventures. Another determining factor can be the items you find. I wanted to run warriors, but I kept getting awesome wizard items (and squat for warriors), so I went the wizard route. In the short term, it's about making the best of whatever you can get your hands on. A huge part of the game is learning the proper positioning and tactics. This shows up in The Nudie Run, a challenge Farbs came up with. The highest I've ever completed was level 14 (and I rarely make it that far), but a few players have beaten the dragon. Your deck is very important, but knowing where to stand, when to back off, when to attack, and who to gang up on can be more important. I'm sorry for going on so long, but I hoped you might find some of this helpful.
Cool! didn't realize this myself. I wouldn't recommend anyone spending their hard earned gold during the first playthrough though, because the high level items can be extremely overpriced if your renown is low. I have a long history with video games (~28 years) and have played similar games for years, (e.g. MTG) but never seen anything quite like CH. It can be challenging sometimes (lvl 18 quests have made me scream out loud several times) but in the end it's a lot of fun and IMHO the best computer card game.
