Hypothetical Arena Combos (What If...)

Hypothetical Arena Combos (What If...)

With the recent announcement of Gwent: Arena Mode I began to think of combos that could happen. In the stream, they used Usurper and Rot Tosser to enable Vandergrift which I thought was really cool. They also used Pavetta (Yes, PAVETTA) and Draug to shut down Derran. I think, since there are no boundaries in this mode, that there are some really crazy things that will happen.

What if you were able to combo Stefan Skellen > Hjalmar > Stregobor > Yoana or being able to copy machines for Henselt with Nekker Warriors. I mean, yeah it's almost impossible for that to happen but I think it's going to be really chaotic. A card like DJ will also be amazing in this game mode as well, even something as simple as a Recruit will be very valuable in Arena.

What are some combos that could happen in this new mode that you think would be strong?

getting 3 Shupes or more would be insane that's what I could immediately think.

Or More than one Ciri Novas and having no bronzes in the deck but that's harder to pull off

Hard to pull off but you could Henselt two times in R3... all you need is necker warriors for unlimited points, Cahir to ressurrect Henselt and something to consume your Henselt.

Also, Imagine the Letho/Regis combo in a ST movement deck... simply move the strongest units to the same row and you've won the game.

If you have more than 1 Shupe then they all are worthless

Wouldn't two shupes technically count as duplicates tho? D:

Cahir would be cool to have in any deck tbh

No clue to be honest. I figured it wouldn't count but now that you mention it, it might.

Ah well .Shupe would be great in the arena anyway. Getting Blue Dream against an opponent who has it too could give you more than one Shupes

 

[chriserit]

shupe is gonna be a great pick for arena

My ideas so far...

Special Archtypes:
1. Axemen/Mill, Albrich/Shilard to increase round length.
2. Cursed Skellige/NR Deck (With Sabrina's Spectre resurrecting Berserker Marauders).

Unit Combos:
Yennfer: Enchantress + Restore.
Dimun Corsair + NR Machines.
Siege Support + Draug.

Unit Limit Abuse:
1. Multiple Spies.
2. Multiple Roaches.

Mahakam Marauders and Wild Boar of the Sea would do really well together.

Arena mode allows you to make decks with any cards?

Yeah in the stream they had a deck with cards from all factions and with no apparent gold/silver numbers limitation.

 

[tealquest]

What is arena?

 

[MaximumSquid]

Are the Dev's doing anything to make the Arena experience different from other games?

I normally hate arena mode because it requires you to have a complete mastery of the game to be proficient at it

This makes it especially bad for newer players because you might only have played 1 faction

You pretty much just get dunked on

Arena is a new game mode coming to Gwent were you make a deck with any cards, basically. Like you can have cards from different factions in one deck.

Yeah, that seems like the case with this new game mode. If you don't know what some cards do then it'll be kind of hard for new players to know what cards work together. It's also hard for people who don't keep up with the constant changes that the game developers put through each month or so.

Some spicy ideas, my friend. :cheers:

That'd be so good if you could place two Marauders on each side.... I'm genuinely excited for this game mode. Hopefully I get a decent deck.
