Burn sounds incredibly powerful, so that might explain the small number of Troops with it. However, in a game with the number of Troops it has, there should be at least four (I say even 5-6) with Burn, not two. ---

> [@TaliaParks](#): > > However, in a game with the number of Troops it has, there should be at least four (I say even 5-6) with Burn, not two. There are 2 troops with the ability of burn, 1 weapon, and 7 troops that get a trait that allows their skull damage to do burn. Compared to poison that has 7 troops with the ability to poison, 8 troops (4 unique) with venomous trait that allows them to poison on skull damage, and 2 weapons that can poison. > [@TaliaParks](#): > > Burn sounds incredibly powerful, so that might explain the small number of Troops with it. Burn is slightly stronger than poison, but it doesn’t have many application methods atm. Its 2 weakest points is it has to go through armor first and it normally only lasts a few turns. The only way to extend the burn is to reapply it, or else it will likely fade after about 4-5 turns. ---

there are also only two troops that apply hunters mark, neither of which are the troops that have the name “hunter”. ---

@Tacet Yeah, with such small options for Burn it does affect it’s overall strength. Can you build a decent Team around it on your version? ---

You’ll need them eventually and a lot of them if you plan to raise ghulvina to 5 stars. ---

> [@evilbatwitch](#): > > I’m a n00b at this game, and I already delete any instance of Peasant i get immediately. Peasant is actually a really good card, especially early game. His ability is one of the best board control spells in the game. The traits he has like water link and jinx are very effective too. > [@DonBoba](#): > > You’ll need them eventually and a lot of them if you plan to raise ghulvina to 5 stars. I think you mean Sword’s Edge. 😛 ---
