Commanding the Battlefield
Warsaken rewards precision and timing. Blending navy retrieval with rapid air deployment turns a game into a layered command where every turn counts. Strategic moves and timely attachments form the backbone of this dynamic play.
Baron Valorin: The Naval Strategist
Baron Valorin is more than just a leader card. Sporting “19 START MORALE,” he sets high spirits from the onset. His first triggered ability, “2-TURNS : NAVY Find a specific navy force in your arsenal, show it, and put it in your hand. Shuffle your arsenal.” ensures that a key navy force lands in your hand by turn 2, bypassing the natural odds of a 65-card deck. Then on turn 5, his second ability, “5-TURNS : ARMADA Find 1 navy force and up to 3 other unique navy forces in your hand, with a cost timer of < 2; put them with your legion; they're ready," can flood the board with prepared units.
A4 Revenge Super Carrier: The Air Fortress at Sea
The A4 Revenge Super Carrier anchors the navy side of the strategy. Its ARMORED quality means it is not affected by dead man and pick-off effects, keeping it reliably in play. The triggered ability, “3 : ATTACH : AIR Attach 3 air forces from your arsenal to this; they’re ready. Shuffle your arsenal. Reattach after every battle, or they’re eliminated,” instantly brings three air units into the fray, setting up a fast tempo advantage.
X32 Hive: The Air Swarm Specialist
The X32 Hive serves as a catalyst for air operations. Its triggered ability, “3 : ATTACH : WINGMAN Attach 3 wingman forces from your arsenal to this; they’re ready. Shuffle your arsenal. Reattach after every battle, or they’re eliminated,” enables rapid wingman deployment. This flexibility provides immediate support and a robust multiplier effect on firepower.
T-2 Cormorant: Stealth Tactics on the Fly
The T-2 Cormorant injects stealth into the strategy. Its ability, “STEALTH Can’t be blocked by forces without stealth.”, allows it to slip past enemy defenses and strike at critical targets. Whether used in tandem with the Super Carrier or Hive, its elusive nature increases the chance of secure, high-impact attacks.
Tactical Sequencing and Deck Building
Smart sequencing is the key to unlocking this deck’s full potential. Begin by using Baron Valorin’s 2-TURNS : NAVY ability to fetch a navy unit like the Super Carrier or Hive early in the game. Once deployed, trigger their attach abilities to field three air or wingman forces instantly. By turn 5, the ARMADA effect can serve as an emergency surge, ensuring your board remains flooded with ready units.
- Baron Valorin: 1x (Leader; essential for morale and navy retrieval)
- A4 Revenge Super Carrier: 1-2x (Key navy powerhouse with auto-attached air support)
- X32 Hive: 3-4x (Provides flexible, rapid air support)
- T-2 Cormorant: 4x (Stealth unit to bypass enemy blockers)
For instance, including 4 copies of T-2 Cormorant boosts the probability of drawing a stealth unit early, raising early hand odds to nearly 23% by turn 2. Each card in the deck acts as a force multiplier, transforming well-timed triggers into a relentless assault.
Conclusion
Integrating navy retrieval with rapid air deployment creates a powerful, recurring engine of board control. With Baron Valorin orchestrating plays and the attach mechanics of the Super Carrier, X32 Hive, and T-2 Cormorant, every turn builds toward an overwhelming offensive.
