You’re missing the new soul forged triple damage anti color hero weapons. ---

I was going to say that, new weapons. Additionally… I dispute ‘explode green’ as an effective removal tool, its like saying Gorgotha removes green. The board refills, there will be green. So Fizzbang, Poison Master and Azura, I don’t think they ought to be here. Otherwise good work. I like the weapon indicators. ---

Yellow: Wild Fang (Triple Damage) Herdmaster (Explode) [See @Shimrra comment however if those truly count as counters] Green: Leshy Orc Blue: Asha Purple: Sekhma incorrectly put here Shadowbringer doesn’t have weapon symbol next to it ---

> [@Shimrra](#): > > I dispute ‘explode green’ as an effective removal too > > **…SNIP…** > > The board refills, I think that is splitting hairs. Any action which removes also brings new, for example. As well “thank you for spawning gem X now I 'm going to explode them all for a giant gather” is a common strategy. I do see your underlying point. If people feel including them hurts more than helps maybe we can put them in their own table or move them to Special Case. I guess we will see how others feel. edit: It reads like I’m saying I don’t see your point but the wording is just awkward if you re-read it. I actually see your point I just don’t know what is the correct thing ---

There is a different between removing say 13 blues, where 2 of those may come back as blue, and exploding 13 blue, where the whole board blows up and now ~9 blues come back. I believe that’s the point @Shimrra is trying to convey. ---

How about we try to find out what others think then we we’ll collectively make a choice. We can look at a lot of things and make choices like Desdaemona for example. Carnex being used to clear Skulls and re-fill the board/team after a BD cast is another example. There’s definitely lots of room for different opinions and good discussion. ---

Thank you. Perfect and really needed. 🕶 If you want to include weapons that explode certain colored gems, there is also to mention the Mountain Crusher. ---

It’s ok that you include color exploders, since it often removes more gems than new ones fall in the board. Also good to show them with an explode icon. Nice work. ---

Thank you 🙂 Since Pinchy came out of a Glory Chest for me the other day I’ve been using Poison Master to Explode Greens. Then I moved on to check out some other Explode Troops like Azura, etc as I assembled this list. I observed through many battles how clearly they function as Color counters so I left them in. I figure people can just ignore or not use what they feel doesn’t work for them. ---

Yes, using Herdmaster on a yellow day teaches you how much of a yellow counter he really is, the hard way 😢 ---
