Geralt: Igni how do you work?

[Daxank]

Deploy: Destroy the highest power units on an enemy row with a total of 35 or more power
Initiative: Destroy the highest powers units on an enemy row with a total of 20 or more power instead

So explain to me why sometimes the card literally does nothing?
Does "total" mean "minimum" or what?!

[DT]

- Does "total" mean "minimum" or what?

I think description already explain itself.
It said "total xx or more power" . So it should be minimum.

[falserebel]

yeah minimum of 35 or 20.

except with a description like
"Destroy the highest powers units on an enemy row with a total of 20 or more power"
It can be read as, will destroy the highest power units by using a total of 20 or more damage power

Sir... you seem to purpose omit word "ROW" for your own convenient.

It said "row with a total of 20 or more power".

Also this isn't relate to you topic but please note that 'Destroy' effect didn't deal damage to enemy unit. Some unit ability need unit to be damaged to trigger but 'Destroy' won't trigger them.

[Poindexter]

It is obvious from description of the card.

If row has power lower than 20. card simply doesnt work.

If row has between 20-35 power. In your turn you have to play this card first if you want to destroy highest units. Any kind of action like using charge, leader abilty before using the card will prevent you from destroying highest units.

If one of the rows have more than or equal to 35 power. You dont need initiative condition to be hold you simply destroy highest units on that row whatever order you play that card in your turn.

Please read descriptions carefully.

[TeamSpeakEnjoyer]

don't use orders or etc. play it directly if you want to kill unit(s) on a row with 20+ points

[WhatIsLove?]

also it will destroy all the highest cards.

For example if in a 20 row, the highest card is 6 but the opponent has 2x 6 strength cards, it will destroy both of those.

Thats why the card is better than the normal geralt which destroys a card that is 9 or higher.

[Oxyderkis]

Huehuehue wrong answer

So how it works:
if you have in a row 5 units of 10-10-9-8-7 power then "Initiative" will destroy the 2 units of 10 power because 10+10=20 (quick maths).
BUT
the deploy ability will destroy the 2 units of 10 power equal 20 then it will destoy also the other 2 units of 9 and 8 power because all together it equals to 37 power.

No, that not how it work. Your understand seem the same as how OP currently misunderstand.
You going to confuse OP even more. Did you really ever use this card before??

OP omit word 'ROW' and now you are try to omit word 'Highest units'? You second example is totally wrong. It only kill HIGHEST units.

If that how it work then everyone going to put this card to there deck but it wasn't. That why not everyone use it.

Initiative is MORE powerful because you CAN"T COMBO. It minimum requirement will reduce to 20 if you use this card before other action (use leader ability, other units skill or Artifact you play previous turn skill) that turn.

But if you do other action that turn before use this card (use leader ability, other units skill or Artifact you play previous turn skill) then this card will lose Initiative and has to use minimum requirement 35 instead of 20.

example
8 + 8 + 6 = total power in row is 22
Initiative : kills ALL units with 8 power (since unit with highest power on that row is 8)
Non-Initiative : do nothing since total power less than 35

8 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 4 = 36
Initiative : kills ALL units with 8 power
Non-Initiative : still kills ALL units with 8 power

Also someone mention this card is better than geralt version which destroys a card that is 9 or higher. That isn't really correct.

Example. You meet something like this...

14 + 5 = 19
Geralt version which destroys a card that is 9 or higher can kill 14 power unit.
Geralt Igni : Do nothing since even with Initiative total power still less than 20.

True, what i ment was the card has higher potential, though the normal geralt is the safer way. It all depends, iam going for a long round 3 on my monster deck so to me igni is more powerfull ofc in most of the cases, it all depends.

But it has higher potential.

but in a more "complex" battle it is better right? would u recommend?
you mention the "weakest" of "Geralt: igni"
"but not" the "advantages" of over the "Geralt of Rivia" in a complex battle.

Geralt of rivia can't bypass a defender.
Geralt : Ingi "can" kill or neglect the defender.

Geralt of rivia can't kill 8 powered unit.
Geralt: Igni can kill 8' powered unit(s).

Geralt of rivia can't kill immune unit.
Geralt: Igni can kill immune unit(s).

with more expansions the game is only going to be more complex.

u mentioned "Geralt of rivia" strength over geralts igni so i feel like i need to mention Good points of "Geralt :Ingi and how it work" when compare to the other geralt.
so yeah both weakness.

[DT]

I feel no need to explain detail of good and bad point those because this is thread about why "Geralt: Igni" of OP didn't work sometime not thread about which Geralt is the best one.

Both can be trash if you can't meet condition for them and only waste your CP in deck for that match.

Well... at least now i can see that you are hardcore fan of Geralt: Igni

[Oxyderkis]

Now i get it, thanks for explaing that DT.

Most people prefer Igni because it has higher removal potential and is more flexable by ignoring defenders, for only 1 extra provision.
