Game plan and how to win

Ambessa's units power up and hit hard. Many cards here can be empowered, such as Legion Marauder, Brutal Hunter and Kayle, Justified. Each time you empower something else, your legend, Ambessa, Matriarch of War, empowers too. Spend it and a small cost to ready a unit, so that unit can act again.

  • Play Legion Marauder early. Empower it for a small cost, and your legend empowers too.
  • Play Trifarian Gloryseeker after another card, so its Legion buffs it.
  • Empower Kayle, Justified with spare energy. She gets +2 Might each time, up to three times.

Your Chosen Champion, Ambessa, The Wolf, gets +3 Might when she is empowered. She then cannot be dealt damage unless she is in combat. Once Aurok General is empowered, each of your empowered units has +2 Might. Save Guttural Roar for an empowered unit, because it then gives +4 Might. When Ambessa, Respected and Feared is empowered, she kills an enemy unit with less Might than her when she attacks. Confront makes the units you play this turn enter ready. Win by conquering battlefields with a few large, empowered units.
