Balanced Hunter (no Light or Darkness)

[treahnurb]

Hi,

I am quite early in the game but I kinda have no interest to play hard dark or hard light and would like my Hunter to be neutral/balanced. Are there - gameplay wise - any draw backs to that? Do I miss out on strong abilities that way or is it a viable path too?

Yes you do .... It has been a while but RUFFLY at 100 points Light and Dark.
A Collar and a Passive Power. Again at 150 points. At 200 my memory fails me.

So you can do both paths and go BACK to Neutral.

P.S. I recommend just doing the Dark path.

There are two types of balanced build. Either you play all cards equally (have both light and dark cards in the deck), or you only use power cards.

Using cards of both sides equally gives you the most flexibility, and there's a mid game collar that benefits from such build.

Using only Power cards has some restriction as you have no heals from light cards and no high damage attack cards from dark cards, but an early game collar focused on power cards is arguably the best collar in the game, allowing you to rotate Hunter cards easily.

Thanks, that sounds like a good answer.
I am nowhere a Meta-Gamer of some sort, trying to flex out the best out of everything, I am more an RP-ler and atm I pick actions/decisions base on what I feel is right and not to boost Light or Dark. Plus I want him to stay neutral, not a fan of those heavy sided things, I like my Hunter grey. However it would've sucked to know that the game wants to pick one side but your answer shows me that staying neutral is viable too and that's cool.
Atm I do more or less what you say, I do like the Heal Cards and Support Cards from Light but I also play one of the heavy damage Darkness cards.
