Yeah, ST is insane right now.
I think the only way to win against them is to play SK and just destroy any ST units that hit the board. LOL
To my mind Cat witcher should be compared to the counterparts of the other fractions
- SC Cat witcher: Body 4, conditional 1 damage if there is a target in the opponent row. After Adrenaline 4 conditional damage is increased to 2., +1 synergy if Dol Blathanna Sentry is on Ranged
- NR Griffin Witcher: Body 4, after next turn 1 damage, Adrenaline 3: +3 damage and blocked, great synergies with veil as block can be stopped
- SK Bear witcher: Body 5 (damaged by 3), after Adrenaline 4 + 3 damage for other units; great synergies with heal leader or cards benefitting from damaged cards
- NG Viper witcher: Body; bleeding 2, After Adrenaline 6 viper witcher on the top of the opponent deck, great synergies with Kolgrim and Viper witcher adept and deck distrubance
=> All those new viper are greatly integrated into the game.
For me the most obvious counterpart is Griffin witcher. And it´s very difficult to say which is stronger.
If you sum up their potential damage value (assuming played as first card and all 10 cards are played, every target hits and Griffin witcher gets veil)
Adrenaline | Griffin witcher | Cat witcher |
9 | 0 | 1 |
8 | 1 | 1 |
7 | 1 | 1 |
6 | 1 | 1 |
5 | 1 | 1 |
4 | 1 | 2 |
3 | 4 | 2 |
2 | 4 | 2 |
1 | 4 | 2 |
0 | 4 | 2 |
21 | 15 |
You see that there is more point potential with Griffin witcher.
If you add 1 sentry as second card the analysis looks a bit differently.
Adrenaline | Griffin witcher | Cat witcher + Sentry |
9 | 0 | 1 |
8 | 1 | 2 |
7 | 1 | 2 |
6 | 1 | 2 |
5 | 1 | 2 |
4 | 1 | 3 |
3 | 4 | 3 |
2 | 4 | 3 |
1 | 4 | 3 |
0 | 4 | 3 |
21 | 24 |
If you have no Yrden probably the Sentry is the opponents main goal of removal as there can face so many moving units.
Nevertheless, if I would have to choose between these 2 ones I would consider Griffin witcher to be the stronger. Why?
- Ability to really select your target with Griffin witcher
- More point potential if you manage to veil it
- Cat witcher probably does not always find food on Melee.
The main advantage of Cat witcher is that the whole card is perfectly fitting into the whole move familiy of SC
