Turning Point: Mortal Strike dealing 18 fixed damage to both Abaddon and Azazel — wiped two key units in one action.

Lessons Learned: Abaddon + Nephilim fusion strategy is powerful but vulnerable to burst damage. Mortal Strike with stacked damage can one-shot multiple targets with 18 Fixed Damage.

Game Summary

P1 ran an Abaddon + Nephilim familiar strategy, building up fused Nephilim with Azazel support (+1 PWR, +2 DEF passive). P2 countered with burst damage, landing a Mortal Strike for 18 Fixed Damage to both Abaddon and Azazel simultaneously.

[   11.7s] Thanks for watching!
[   30.0s] require more input than you're likely to have.
[   35.3s] Have you seen those neural networks play chess?
[   37.5s] They pretty much just cheat.
[   57.8s] Yeah, I don't know if they're
[   60.2s] for that.
[   65.8s] Yeah.
[   72.0s] What?
[   79.0s] I think the problem is the AI is just trying to say something
[   84.5s] that sounds like what the user wants,
[   87.6s] but because...
[   90.0s] It doesn't actually know the rules.
[   92.2s] It's just trying to say something the user wants to hear.
[   98.1s] Okay, I'm ready if you're ready.
[  106.3s] I'm fine with that.
[  107.6s] Are you fine with tier?
[  113.4s] For who?
[  121.9s] Yeah.
[  125.5s] Yeah.
[  126.5s] Yeah.
[  126.7s] Yeah.
[  127.2s] I think that's another squishy demon, though.
[  130.0s] Although I guess they do defend it, but...
[  133.5s] Okay.
[  136.0s] I...
[  136.1s] I...
[  139.7s] I...
[  140.4s] I...
[  144.3s] I...
[  146.1s] I...
[  149.3s] I...
[  150.0s] I...
[  150.4s] I...
[  151.0s] 
[  159.0s] That's enemy and core.
[  159.3s] I have to ban it.
[  159.4s] 
[  159.4s] The thing is, I don't know what you're going to do with tier,
[  161.4s] But every time someone uses tier against me I,
[  163.8s] I always seem to regret it.
[  166.1s] So, I think I'm gonna ban it.
[  169.2s] Well, why are you saying no now?
[  170.8s] Because you took the target.
[  171.2s] 
[  207.1s] Thank you.
[  210.0s] It might even be worse, but...
[  211.0s] Oh well.
[  213.6s] It is normal, though.
[  215.0s] So roll for it.
[  216.4s] Yep.
[  219.9s] Roll a 2.
[  224.0s] 12.
[  226.2s] I'll just go first.
[  228.4s] Because I want the speed token.
[  236.1s] Just put Malthus
[  237.6s] in the middle.
[  239.0s] Okay.
[  240.1s] Okay.
[  258.2s] Wait a minute.
[  262.1s] If Abaddon is fused
[  263.9s] to Nephilim, is that a new Nephilim
[  265.8s] thing, or is that just like
[  270.3s] aเพ?
[  271.3s] It's possible.
[  272.7s] My Nephilim.
[  276.7s] .
[  309.3s] Thank you.
[  339.5s] Okay.
[  341.0s] Okay.
[  352.9s] So...
[  354.3s] So...
[  355.1s] Does Malthus'
[  358.2s] 
[  358.3s] Does Malthus' passive apply to Malthus?
[  362.5s] Like...
[  364.1s] Yeah.
[  364.6s] Oh, okay.
[  367.4s] Words are hard.
[  374.2s] Alright, I will spend...
[  376.1s] Sorry, I will play
[  378.6s] Abaddon here.
[  381.4s] Okay.
[  388.7s] Alright, I will spend...
[  390.1s] Alright, I will spend...
[  419.6s] And I will...
[  422.2s] And I will...
[  422.9s] And I will...
[  423.2s] And I will...
[  423.5s] Play...
[  426.2s] Play...
[  426.6s] Play...
[  426.7s] Spend one AP to play
[  427.8s] Shield Nephilim.
[  432.6s] Okay.
[  434.9s] And...
[  439.8s] Okay.
[  448.2s] And I will...
[  449.9s] I will...
[  455.3s] And I will...
[  456.3s] And I will...
[  458.8s] And I will...
[  460.4s] And I will...
[  461.1s] And I will...
[  462.6s] And I will...
[  462.6s] 
[  462.6s] 
[  462.6s] So the...
[  463.8s] The final condition on Abaddon...
[  466.3s] Does that stack per Nephilim,
[  469.7s] or is it just one con...
[  471.8s] Okay.
[  473.0s] Okay.
[  495.1s] Thank you.
[  518.4s] Okay.
[  519.8s] Okay.
[  521.2s] Okay.
[  538.2s] Well, I will pass.
[  540.5s] Okay.
[  541.1s] Sorry.
[  588.6s] Let's see here.
[  589.5s] Let's see here.
[  610.2s] So basically, the new Abaddon concept is you turn it into a monster where it can use all of its Nephilim abilities for free.
[  619.0s] Okay.
[  635.7s] So basically, the new Abaddon concept is you turn it into a monster where it can use all of its Nephilim abilities for free.
[  649.0s] Okay.
[  652.5s] Okay.
[  653.2s] Okay.
[  653.2s] Okay.
[  693.4s] Mother's taking all of these smallstick shots that will work to do a powerful work.
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.5s] 
[  693.9s] Great.
[  694.0s] 
[  694.0s] Really shout all the cars out there and-
[  694.2s] 
[  694.2s] 
[  694.2s] 
[  694.2s] 
[  694.2s] 
[  694.2s] Speaking of Superrocket.
[  694.8s] I'm jusquing at Superro orbit too.
[  694.9s] 
[  694.9s] Okay.
[  694.9s] So this thing will add some lightnings.
[  695.2s] 
[  707.1s] Oh yeah.
[  707.2s] See, super robert.
[  708.5s] So he can just stand will go back.
[  709.0s] Yeah.
[  711.6s] So if a Nephilim is killed, can it be resummoned?
[  719.4s] Okay.
[  755.0s] I'm going to scry.
[  756.6s] If he does the Apotheosis but nothing more damage, does the damage carry over?
[  762.6s] Okay.
[  763.5s] That's actually pretty good for me then.
[  785.6s] I see.
[  804.0s] Okay.
[  834.3s] Okay.
[  855.2s] I'll play a Zazel.
[  859.0s] Okay.
[  860.8s] Aureus.
[  862.5s] I'll go first.
[  863.8s] Cool.
[  868.9s] Aureus goes here.
[  871.2s] Aureus will attack both of your guys.
[  875.8s] Okay.
[  876.6s] So you take three damage on both.
[  879.4s] Okay.
[  882.9s] Oh, right.
[  888.1s] Yeah.
[  889.0s] Yes, I do.
[  899.8s] Last one.
[  901.3s] And then I'll attack with Malthus to the Nephilim.
[  904.7s] Okay.
[  913.7s] Yeah.
[  914.4s] And your turn.
[  916.4s] Okay.
[  917.5s] You have one, correct?
[  919.5s] Okay.
[  945.3s] As I
[  946.1s] just said,
[  946.1s] you're in c
[  948.4s] presence of the
[  948.5s] H支
[  948.6s] 
[  948.6s] X li
[  948.9s] You're in c
[  949.0s] Well, the one downside is that if I do the super apotheosis, that undermines Azazel's usefulness.
[  987.1s] Anyway, so I'll spend one to Intreat again for the Shield Nephilim again.
[ 1000.9s] Okay, and then I will...
[ 1017.3s] I guess I'll pass.
[ 1048.0s] Let me think here.
[ 1058.1s] Yeah, I'll probably have to do this.
[ 1059.9s] I'm ready.
[ 1067.8s] Oh, sorry, what?
[ 1069.6s] Oh, I was looking at Bodice.
[ 1070.6s] Yeah.
[ 1074.9s] I think I'm fine with Master.
[ 1077.4s] You get to decide the order.
[ 1081.0s] Okay.
[ 1094.9s] Okay, I will go first.
[ 1099.0s] Actually, will I go first?
[ 1100.0s] Hang on.
[ 1121.6s] All right.
[ 1125.3s] Yeah, I'll go first.
[ 1126.3s] I will fuse.
[ 1129.2s] Hang on.
[ 1130.2s] I'll go to Pollux.
[ 1132.5s] Search.
[ 1143.0s] Pollux.
[ 1145.6s] Pollux.
[ 1146.8s] Pollux.
[ 1147.7s] Pollux.
[ 1148.9s] Pollux.
[ 1151.1s] Pollux.
[ 1156.2s] Pollux.
[ 1156.3s] I'm not seeing Pollux.
[ 1158.4s] Oh, here it is.
[ 1159.3s] Never mind.
[ 1162.7s] OK.
[ 1178.3s] So 1x actions on cast plots can still
[ 1183.1s] be done twice, once by each, right?
[ 1186.7s] OK.
[ 1200.8s] Oh, right, because it cannot perform actions.
[ 1203.1s] OK.
[ 1205.5s] Yeah.
[ 1225.4s] I'm not going to skip to 11u.
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1228.2s] 
[ 1232.6s] Because now I know.
[ 1234.0s] 
[ 1244.3s] Thank you.
[ 1265.8s] Thank you.
[ 1269.5s] I'm going to
[ 1272.7s] spend one AP
[ 1275.1s] to serve
[ 1276.5s] with a Zazel
[ 1278.6s] onto
[ 1279.4s] a Baden,
[ 1282.1s] which gives it plus two, and it also
[ 1284.0s] has plus one from
[ 1285.3s] the passive.
[ 1288.3s] Yeah.
[ 1290.4s] I will
[ 1291.6s] attack
[ 1296.6s] Orius.
[ 1298.2s] That's six?
[ 1299.2s] Yeah.
[ 1306.8s] And then I will fuse.
[ 1317.2s] Did he use two AP for the attack?
[ 1320.0s] All right. Thank you.
[ 1328.2s] And I will...
[ 1340.1s] Okay.
[ 1346.3s] Okay.
[ 1348.2s] Of course, that removes
[ 1350.1s] the passives from, uh...
[ 1353.0s] from a Baden.
[ 1355.2s] Um...
[ 1382.1s] And the Zazel passive
[ 1384.8s] does stack, right?
[ 1386.2s] So it's doubled?
[ 1389.9s] Yeah.
[ 1395.0s] Yeah.
[ 1395.8s] Yeah. And that's the thing.
[ 1397.7s] That's what I was really thinking, that it undermines
[ 1400.0s] having Nephilims out
[ 1401.8s] to get that double benefit, but
[ 1403.9s] that's fine.
[ 1408.1s] Yeah.
[ 1408.6s] Yeah.
[ 1412.3s] drink
[ 1413.7s] 
[ 1413.7s] family Oh look SAP
[ 1441.9s] music
[ 1442.1s] 
[ 1442.1s] 
[ 1437.8s] ading
[ 1444.4s] And I would...
[ 1446.1s] Yeah.
[ 1454.6s] I'll spend 1 AP to
[ 1458.1s] play the
[ 1462.5s] crown Nephilim, I guess.
[ 1480.0s] Yep.
[ 1489.2s] Yeah.
[ 1494.0s] This might be a little too good. We'll see how it goes.
[ 1497.8s] Uh...
[ 1502.3s] Yeah.
[ 1513.4s] Yeah.
[ 1513.9s] Well, in my previous two games, both of them I wanted to do the
[ 1518.6s] Castor Pollux Azazel thing, but I learned
[ 1522.4s] not to do it until I could protect it. And then I
[ 1525.8s] drafted a BAT and seeing, oh, this can sort of protect stuff.
[ 1529.4s] And then I got it right away. And I'm like, oh, okay.
[ 1542.5s] Okay. I think that's
[ 1545.9s] it. Yeah.
[ 1549.0s] I pass. And then I'm going to
[ 1553.8s] Crown of Nephilim.
[ 1557.9s] What?
[ 1561.4s] It's a gear action.
[ 1563.9s] Wait, don't I have to do it now?
[ 1569.8s] No, it's my turn.
[ 1571.4s] Yeah.
[ 1576.6s] Yeah.
[ 1578.9s] I think he probably should have killed
[ 1583.3s] Aureus, because I'm just going to fuse here.
[ 1588.7s] Oh, right.
[ 1589.7s] Yeah.
[ 1590.2s] I'm going to use Bloody Power.
[ 1595.6s] Okay.
[ 1596.6s] And then I'm going to use Mortal Strike.
[ 1599.4s] I target
[ 1600.2s] I target a BAT and an Azazel.
[ 1604.9s] Oh, how does that work?
[ 1606.5s] Oh, right. Okay.
[ 1607.9s] I will shield that one.
[ 1610.6s] It's...
[ 1611.2s] Oh, I want to shield.
[ 1613.1s] It's six.
[ 1617.0s] Oh.
[ 1618.3s] Oh.
[ 1619.7s] Okay.
[ 1621.6s] Okay, so what's your power now?
[ 1623.3s] It's like a billion.
[ 1624.6s] It's 16 fixed damage.
[ 1627.5s] What the fuck?
[ 1629.3s] No. No, no.
[ 1632.1s] Okay, so
[ 1633.0s] three plus two
[ 1635.5s] plus three is eight.
[ 1637.5s] Oh, 16.
[ 1642.2s] Oh.
[ 1643.1s] Yeah.
[ 1645.4s] Oh, I thought it was the power.
[ 1646.3s] Okay, that's even better than...
[ 1648.5s] Yeah.
[ 1652.0s] So yeah, 18 fixed damage
[ 1653.6s] to both a BAT and an Azazel.
[ 1656.8s] Okay.
[ 1662.7s] Yeah.
[ 1664.9s] Okay.
[ 1666.5s] So...
[ 1667.8s] I was calculating that would happen.
[ 1670.3s] I was like,
[ 1671.1s] this is my only out. I got to do it now.
[ 1673.1s] So can I Crown of Nephilim
[ 1675.3s] to put both of those on
[ 1677.2s] one of them?
[ 1679.0s] So Oreus says
[ 1680.8s] it must be a distinct demon, so
[ 1682.7s] that...
[ 1683.3s] And it says on Nephilim
[ 1686.4s] if a BAT is a valid target,
[ 1688.2s] so it can't...that's invalid.
[ 1696.4s] Oh.
[ 1707.6s] Okay.
[ 1709.3s] Okay.
[ 1710.1s] 
[ 1710.1s] 
[ 1710.8s] Nope.
[ 1713.1s] Nope.
[ 1713.8s] Nope.
[ 1715.3s] 
[ 1718.2s] Yeet one, two...
[ 1721.1s] Yeah, that's it.
[ 1723.0s] Yeah.
[ 1723.9s] Yeah.
[ 1727.9s] Okay.
[ 1729.0s] 
[ 1729.3s] I would have banned faster
[ 1733.1s] if I didn't have an out.
[ 1735.3s] But...
[ 1735.8s] Yeah.
[ 1737.6s] Okay. So that does kill both of them?
[ 1740.5s] Yeah.
[ 1742.2s] Okay. Well, that was an interesting game.
[ 1748.4s] Yeah.
[ 1748.8s] Yeah.
[ 1749.1s] Okay.
[ 1751.9s] I feel like
[ 1752.7s] it does demonstrate
[ 1753.8s] that what I did was good,
[ 1756.0s] even though I just died.
[ 1759.7s] I think if you killed Oreus,
[ 1763.7s] instead of summoning
[ 1765.2s] a guy,
[ 1766.3s] you would have won. I actually made a mistake.
[ 1768.1s] I probably should have banned Caster, but...
[ 1771.2s] Um...
[ 1773.4s] Oh well.
[ 1783.5s] Yeah.
[ 1808.9s] Well, that's a good thing.
[ 1813.4s] I think I'll just use the
[ 1822.6s] Caster.
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] 
[ 1823.1s] I think I'll just use the Caster.
[ 1823.9s] I think I'll just use the Caster.
[ 1828.5s] If I knew that Boeus was based on damage,
[ 1831.8s] I would have drafted Fiend.
[ 1833.0s] I still have Fiend in the sack.
[ 1836.3s] 
[ 1840.9s] Oh, sorry, BB.
[ 1848.9s] Yeah.
[ 1850.5s] If he has a lot of... Yeah.
[ 1854.0s] If he has a lot of... Yeah.
[ 1854.8s] I thought it was based on power.
[ 1857.1s] I thought it was based on power.
[ 1863.3s] Yeah, I guess.
[ 1864.6s] I don't know.
[ 1881.9s] I don't know.
[ 1882.4s] Uh, hang on.
[ 1884.2s] Personally, I would
[ 1886.4s] kind of like to go,
[ 1888.1s] because it's the warmest day
[ 1890.1s] this year. I can go out and ride my
[ 1892.1s] bike for a change.
[ 1893.4s] But...
[ 1898.1s] Yeah, I could play Woop.
[ 1900.2s] Yeah, I could play Woop.
[ 1901.1s] Yeah, that's fine.
[ 1902.0s] Okay.
[ 1905.8s] Sure.
