After giving the general information about Rigga tournament, we’d like to pay special attention to a Frisian deck – what it looks like, in what way it is unique and what new opportunities it opens to a player.
Frisians are a fraction of control. And when you first see it, the characters might seem pretty intimidating – you won’t find such high number of health points either in Berkana or in Bandit decks.
But when you finally breath out you can see that the attack points of the characters are quite low – so they can’t cause a lot of damage. Does it mean that there will be a long and boring fight? No way!
The goal of Frisian soldiers is to hold the enemy back as much as possible, and to take away the opposing commander is the task of the Frisian warlock. It’s impossible to resist the damage he causes, so it’s in your interests to finish the fight as soon as possible.
The warlock appears in the battlefield with the first summoned Frisian fighter who has the ability «Life drain». At the start he doesn’t take much, but this ability grows as almost any Frisian appears in the battlefield.
Now, when we’ve found out why it is profitable to drag the fight, let’s speak more closely about the opportunities of the characters. First if all, about the balance of the attack and protection.
Frisian soldiers are quite hard to kill, and one of the possibilities to make the fight longer is to block the way to your commander completely while the sorcerer drags out the enemy’s life.
It’s also a good strategy for the Frisians to stay as close to the position of start as possible. A lot of characters of this fraction make only one step at a turn. It’s quite enough so that the space near the commander would get filled with the unbreakable wall of the fighters. It’s also convenient to hide weak fighters with useful effects behind the back of slow but powerful characters. For example, quite a fragile Templar, who considerably weakens the enemy, can hide behind the Centurion and become unreachable for the opponent.
Nevertheless, in the deck there are some characters who are quite good in destroying the enemy’s fighters. For example, Frisian Crossbowmen move quite fast and cause a great deal of damage. But even their attack becomes twice lower when they shoot at the opposing commander
Speaking about synergy, the Frisian deck is something average between the Berkana and Bandit Decks. All in all, the Frisians are quite powerful on their own, but some of the characters can considerably strengthen their comrades. For example, the Frisian captain improves the armor of his fraction’s fighters.
It’s much more interesting, though, to have a look at how the deck of the support synergizes. There are, for example, the cards that can increase health of a group if characters, lower the attack of the hostile fighters, boost the speed of all the characters or slow down separate ones.
It’s Raylo who teaches you how to play the Frisian deck – and you can also ask him for a training fight either for this fraction or against it.
