Most of the strongest, most disciplined warriors of the realm have banded collectively to type the Whitestar Order, based mostly at Morningstar and led by stone golem Garus Rook. Their coaching grounds are dwelling to enlightened monks, mighty barbarians, and agile ninjas with their cute animal mates. Their power comes from each their teamwork and talent in fight. The Whitestar Order holds a sequence of preventing tournaments known as Fantasy Strike, meant to deliver collectively the various totally different peoples of the realm in hopes they be taught to query Flagstone’s rule.
Grave Stormborne is likely one of the most devoted and expert martial artists within the land. He’s the embodiment of Self-discipline, which is his spec. Grave is totally centered on rising his personal abilities, even to the purpose that some would say it’s a egocentric neglect of what he may very well be doing to assist others. While you want a champion although, you’ll be glad to have Grave in your aspect:
Grave solely wants to achieve stage 3 to change into a 3/4 with readiness, which lets him assault and nonetheless be capable of patrol afterwards—becoming for such an adept fighter. As for his sword, he doesn’t use it typically. As a baby, the Nox Oracle informed him to solely use it when obligatory. At max stage, he’ll agree to make use of it ONCE. It’s going to slice via ANY unit or hero—even a tech III unit isn’t protected.
Heroes are particularly not protected in opposition to the white faction. The white beginning deck incorporates this monster of a spell:
Snapback works the identical means it does within the Marvel vs. Capcom preventing video games: you knock a personality out of play and drive a unique character into play. Heroes lose all their ranges and another runes or attachments or no matter once they return to the command zone. Snapback is a really highly effective late-game spell, and also you’ll typically be tempted to play it as a employee early as a result of it may not enable you a lot then. Right here’s my recommendation although. I’ve stated this phrase lots, “You realize, you wouldn’t have misplaced the sport proper there if you happen to had stored Snapback.”
Again to the early recreation although, the Whitestar Order is sweet at working collectively in fight. Each these Monks from the white beginning deck assist your early combats:
I just like the distinction of their personalities. Savior Monk is peaceable and heals you, when you can already inform that Aged Sensei is disillusioned that you just’re not ok.
This beginning deck improve card additionally helps your early recreation combats:
At simply 1 gold, you’re doubtlessly stopping numerous injury if you happen to can assault sufficient. The extra you assault, the higher a deal this turns into. White’s teamwork right here makes them fairly a menace proper from the beginning.
On the tech I stage, Rambasa Twin works in an uncommon means:
The 4 gold value is excessive for a tech I, however you truly get TWO of this man. That’s numerous presence on the battlefield! And one other perk is that he solely occupies one slot in your deck. Later within the recreation when you’ve higher playing cards, you received’t be drawing previous 2 copies of him to get to your actually nice playing cards; you’ll have 1 of him in your deck and one other in your codex.
Persevering with the theme of white (and particularly Self-discipline) models working effectively collectively in fight:
Be certain that to coach up with Sparring Companion earlier than going into battle. In case your opponent allows you to hold him, he’ll finally give all of your guys a +1/+1 rune. And if you happen to’re prepared to pay some gold, you’ll be able to velocity up that coaching course of and spar with all of your models in a single flip.
At tech II, the facility stage is even increased.
Focus Grasp’s capability is just a little stronger than I believe it first seems. He’ll save considered one of your models or heroes from dying, and he’ll do it thrice, however he’ll solely do it if they might EXACTLY die. In order that’s like if a 3/3 takes 3 injury (not 4 injury). You possibly can arrange these actual conditions although. In Codex, you do combats one by one so you may make certain your 2/2 goes up in opposition to their 2/2 and so forth. When you notice that, Focus Grasp is principally saying “do 3 even trades, then hold all of your guys as a substitute of them dying.”
Now that’s a robust Monk. He parries your strikes earlier than you even do them. When he’s on the desk, your models and heroes can’t be hit by any spells or skills that use the goal icon. This may throw a wrench in a bunch of methods your opponents may be utilizing, and it’ll drive them to attempt to kill the Thoughts-Parry Monk one other means, in all probability in fight, however he’s a fearsome 5/4 in fight.
Going again to the beginning deck for a second, there’s one other Monk who helps shield you from being unfairly focused:
Morningstar Flagbearer is true at dwelling within the white faction, as a result of Rook’s Morningstar Sanctuary is a spot the place a number of individuals who have been oppressed for being totally different have fled to. In gameplay, each Flagbearer and Thoughts-Parry Monk allow you to say “arms off my guys!”
Do you want having superior heroes? Self-discipline tech II can prepare up your heroes to their full potential:
Sure this in some way solely prices 1 gold. It’s good to get +1 ATK on all of your heroes (an impact you’re glad to pay 1 for by itself), but when your Coaching Grounds can survive only one flip, you’ll be able to exhaust it to immediately max out any of your heroes. Do not forget that at max stage, Grave can use his sword rune to kill absolutely anything. Coaching Grounds is ridiculously environment friendly at leveling up your heroes and frees up numerous gold so that you can put into different issues. The primary disadvantage is simply that it’s a constructing, which means it might probably’t assault or patrol and you need to shield it.
Now let’s take a look at a few of Grave’s spells. Grave is adaptable and versatile, so this spell expresses that:
It’s a toolbox all on one card. You possibly can beat flying stuff, invisible stuff, upgrades, or simply restore some injury from considered one of your buildings if none of that occurs to matter by the point you draw Versatile Type.
If you would like one thing extra easy, Reversal allows you to dragon punch a patroller. That may in all probability kill it, however even when it doesn’t, it would nonetheless knock them out of the patrol zone!
Now it’s time for some True Energy:
True Energy of Storms is likely one of the strongest supers in Yomi. In that recreation, it prices 3 Ace playing cards to make use of. On this recreation, it prices 3 playing cards with a 3-gold value (neat!). For those who can line up your card attracts excellent, True Energy of Storms turns into an absurdly highly effective finisher. You possibly can win the sport by casting two of them, or you’ll be able to level it at any unit or hero to kill it. It even hits tech IIIs, which not many issues do.
And eventually, the Self-discipline tech III has some sentimental worth:
Grave Stormborne’s father was a mighty warrior and a beast in battle. He was killed in battle when Grave was younger. This statue memorializes him. Even being close to it evokes different heroes with a +1/+1 bonus. Hero’s Monument summons the ghost of Grave’s father who’s an indestructible, untargetable, and unstoppable 8/8. Grave can not less than combat alongside the spirit of his father in superb battle.
