Hi everyone!
I am ShinyCami, the Community Manager here at Shiny Shoe and I have the inside scoop on three new cards coming to Monster Train 2: Lost Arsenal. This week, I’m focusing on Equipment Cards and I cannot wait to share them with you. However, please note! The following post contains spoilers for the base Monster Train 2 game post unlocking 6 Pyre Hearts. If you have not done so yet and want to keep the surprise a surprise, stop reading now!
Now, let’s dive in.
Glutton’s Maw
The Shroud’s hunger has pushed the Umbra to innovate once more. With this new contraption, the Shroud’s creature partakes in a relentless feast. Nothing, neither flesh nor armor, can withstand these monstrous jaws
Fitting within the Umbra clan’s overarching theme of consumption and overwhelming your foes, Glutton’s Maw includes ‘Chomp,’ which allows any friendly unit equipped with this card the ability to consume a friendly unit and gain both +15 Attack Damage and +15 Health. Pair a unit equipped with disposable units and watch your champion grow into a tower of power and menace.
Imagine the potential of this card! Combine the bonus with Trample, for example, and you’ll be able to create a multi enemy killing monster!
To all the Umbra-fans, how would you use this card? Let me know in the comments!
Oldgrowth
Don’t look too closely at the shadows for something is growing amongst the vines. Something that refuses to die. The Channelers murmur that ‘She’ is behind this but few know what they could mean.
Oldgrowth is an Awoken card all about durability and scaling. When equipped, and every time they’re healed, friendly units gain +10 Max HP. But beware! This will be an ‘empty’ +10 Max HP so while the unit’s ceiling for healing increases, you will still have to heal that unit.
This card shines in decks heavy with regen or lifesteal cards. Play it on a durable unit like the Steelsinger and just watch their attack and health climb!
Resin Blades
The Melting Remnant clan have unearthed a new blade. Although the steel of this weapon burns just as fast and bright as a candle, it is never lost, returning to your hand each time it is destroyed. Resin Blades applies Burnout 1 and Multistrike 1 to the friendly unit it is equipped to. This card sets a clock with Burnout but also dramatically increases its attack damage. And what makes it even better? The card returns to your hand when the equipped unit dies, creating a cyclical mechanic that creative deckbuilders will be able to take advantage of.
I hope that you’re as excited for these three new cards as I am! I can’t wait to see all the new strategies you come up with by using Glutton’s Maw, Oldgrowth, and Resin Blades. Whether you’re consuming allies, scaling through healing, or creating a death and rebirth unit tornado, these cards are sure to add new depths to your gameplay.
Which one are you most excited to try? Let the team and I know in the comments or in the Shiny Shoe Discord server. Want more information and sneak peeks on these upcoming cards? Sign-up for the Shiny Shoe newsletter here!
