Overview
No faction can come close to the Berserkers when it comes to dominate the early game. This faction specializes in bringing raw power to the table. But this great power comes at a cost. The Berserkers tend to harm themselves during their frenzy. Their power wanes overtime, so they have to end the game as soon as possible.
Notable Keyword: Exile
Exile is really simple. You trigger its effect the first time you play it. That's it. But that is also its biggest draw back. Once they are played, they become significantly weaker. The longer the game drags on, the more you feel their weight. But on the bright side, their ability are extremely powerful, and they can win a round for you on their own. So think carefully whenever you play them.
Notable Keyword: Rush
To trigger the effect of cards with Rush keyword, the card must be at either the right most position or the left most position of your hand when you play it. This means you can always trigger its effect by playing it on the turn you draw it. But most of the time, this wouldn't be optimal, as most cards with Rush requires some set up to get the most out of their value. If you wish so, then you have to play / discard every other card on your hand until it reaches the left most position of your hand. Use it immediately ? Or use it after you have set everything up ? The choice is yours.
Let's see a basic combo
In this video, with the combination of a small hand size, a simple spell and two Rush cards, the player managed to outwit the opponent.
By reducing their own hand size, the player makes sure that the first card and the spell would buff the second card. And on the next turn, that very card triggers its own effect "Rush: Double my Power", turning itself into a whopping 18 Power unit and win the round. The enemy stands no chance, despite having so many cards on their hand.
That's it for today, folk. There are plenty of other mechanics for this Faction, but I don't want to spoil them all yet. You can try it out once the Demo is up. So stay tune for more.
