Bomb Heaver

[Guest 4336264]

I'd like to see the Bomb Heaver card actually play as it played in Thronebreaker - set the opposition row alight. The current ability is pretty pathetic - destroy an item. I wouldn't mind it destroying an item if it also set the row on fire - even if it was for one or two turns (damaging enemies by 1 or 2 - or machines, siege towers, catapults, etc., made from wood, taking extra damage).

Thanks.

Bomb Heavers have saved me many times, from various Artifacts, so I wouldn't call them pathetic. I did really like their Thronebreaker effect though; wouldn't mind if that returned but probably not in combination with another ability.

Would be a pretty cool concept, and it would make logical sense -- the bomb he's holding in the card art clearly has a burning fuse, so fire could easily result from its throwing.

Yeah, I suppose I might be being a little harsh on the card as it currently is - but that's only because I loved this card in Thronebreaker (the way it played, the setting ablaze of the enemy row, etc.).

Still, having the Bomb Heaver set alight a row for a couple of turns, inflicting increased damage on wooden enemies, would be preferred if it I were given a choice between destroying an artifact or having the special effect of setting a row on fire causing damage to enemies - increased damage take by wooden units (less or no damage to metallic or certain armoured units - as well as dragons perhaps being immune from fire).
