Dormant frightener, is there any way to counter?

[The Coal Man]

Ive played against it about 4 times now and ever time its a loss. Is there any way to counter it? Any monster player with half a brain has some way to kill their own units so im wondering if there is some other way to prevent it that I am unaware of.

If not that seems a little cheap. My free level 12 unit requires me to hurt my own character and can be stopped with a lock or 3+ damage, if the only way to stop the frightener is to "not let enemy units die" that seems like a big imbalance.

Its an artefact. You can use card that destroy artefact

[Lagrange]

If you look at the top left symbol on the card, it shows a chalice. All chalices are "Artifacts" and all artifacts can be destroyed by cards like Korathi Heatwave, Bomb Heavers and more. Search the deck builder for more by entering the word "Artifact".

thanks I knew about the card but I could swear the cards werent actually labled as artifacts. That makes it a lot more fair.

You can filter to see Artifacts in deck builder using right side of the screen. If you search for term "Artifact" however, you can see the cards can interact with Artifacts hereby in their description they include "Artifact" word.

As an artifact:
- Korathi Heatwave
- Cards that destroy artifacts like Bomb Heaver
- etc.

After waking up:
- Korathi Heatwave
- Cards that destroy the highest unit (Scorch for instance)
- Poison
- Cards that destroy an enemy of 9 or more power (like Geralt) or cards that destroy units w/ power multiple of 3.
- yennefer of vengerberg
- etc

Or just consider adding more points to your side of the board to counter those 12.

immunity = immune to targeting
so only cards that does "not directly" inflict an effect to the immune unit can affect it.

You're right, I forgot about that! I guess it's easier to destroy as an artifact. Although cards that target the highest unit still work (if frightener, is indeed the one with highest power). But considering that you're facing a monster's deck is not likely, but destroying the other unit is not that bad in any way.

Frightener: Dormant is broken for some reason. I used a bomb heaver after he placed it, but i was unable to target it.

u can't target an artifact if it is defended (a defender is in the same row).
