Ranger

The Ranger's senses are exceptionally keen, and their skill of inflicting damage to enemy heroes is widely renowned. Their special skills of battlefield control pose a tremendous challenge to their enemies.

-In-game Description

Rangers are a class of hero that the player can choose. For becoming a ranger, the player gets the True Shot spell.

Overview[]

The Ranger class excels at removal and direct damage. Rangers are perhaps the best PVP class boasting quick card draw skills, fast effective removal skills, and direct hero damage skills. They are very powerful verses priests because deadly blow is unaffected by sanctuary. They are also a good beginner class.

Advantage[]

+ One of the most powerful 1v1 classes.

+ easy removal of enemy creatures (including nimbles due to Double Stab).

+ a nightmare for most defensive and Priest relying on cheap Sanctuary decks.

+ generally powerful, versatile skills.

+ only class that has a skill that directly attacks enemy player, perfect for nearly unstoppable removal of wounded enemies.

Disadvantage[]

- disliked for King’s Mausoleum for his limited usefulness.

- skills that require life points can make him vulnerable to deadly tactics.

- since Ranger rush is very popular, there are more control decks to counter them in PVP.

- Require higher skill than other classes

PVP Preference[]

+ rush and spike rush.

+ well paired with same or any other class.

PVP Deck Ideas[]

+ rush.(heavy use of creature removal (deadly blow) and fast creatures)

+ super rush/spike rush (use of Swift Raid buffs, removals and Mifzuna/Maia, rush creatures)

+ balanced. (good usage of aggressive/defensive creatures backed by powerful removal)

Boss[]

+ Disinformation is very useful in Castle of Bones stage 2.

- Less useful in King’s Mausoleum.
