Ratings - Branston Battlecard

Rating: | Price/power (0/5): Terrible for any price. Tactical (0/5): Not a whole lot of icons and it's single use. Bonus (1/1): Can't give this a 0. Closing remarks: I'm not sure if Battlecards were ever viable, but they certainly aren't viable now. Get a Scroll of Ultranova, a Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer, or anything else that does a decent amount of damage and isn't single use. Rated on May 30, 2015 |

Rating: | At a Glance (0/3): Throw this magically charged playing card at your opponent, and watch as they explode upon contact, dealing (hehe, pun unintended) a whopping 2.333 icons of pure fire damage! Unfortunately, the card loses its charge of magic and becomes fairly useless afterwards, unless you can throw cards like a certain, card-throwing, teleporting someone. Lol. In-Depth (0/4): Fire is a dangerous and difficult element to block in large quantities, but fairly manageable at minuscule amounts, as seen here. And this is supposed to be a bomb, where it should be dealing more damage than your regular constants. Common beginner constants deal 10-11 icons of damage. A bomb that deals LESS than that is never worth your time. THIS, is never worth your time. Price (0/2): I never commend single-use weapons for being economic, as each time you use it, you're (quite literally, in this case!) throwing away nps. Save the 1 np you'd spend on this, and get the 1 np Scroll of Ultranova. Bonus (1/1): MATH TIME! The exact number of icons dealt would probably be 21/9 icons, simplified to 7/3. I've also noticed that the better grades of cards within a set are increased by 4/9 of an icon. For example, the next card upgrade, Chuffer Bob Battlecard, would deal 25/9 (which equals ~2.778) icons of damage. Cool huh? Final Score: 1/10 Rated on October 30, 2014 |

Rating: | Price/Power: (1/5) As with most Battlecards this weapon is restrictively weak even among battlecards. Considering the popularity of 6 icon multi-use weapons this card is pratically worthless. Countermeasures: (0/5) Fire is slightly hard to block at this level, however with this many icons it is not was hard hitting as others. Alternatives, Upgrades or Downgrades: Try moving to a Cheap Fire Ring instead, it lasts longer. If you just want more of a punch, try changing to a cheap 6 iconer such as the Obsidian Dagger. Bomb wise, a cheap snowball such as a Exploding Snowball offers much more firepower and makes this item totally obsolete. The best fire option is Flask of Liquid Fire Other Points Considering the number of more powerful multiuse and bombs at this similar price range I see no reason why anyone should be using this. Especially since it is slightly weaker then even the other battlecards. Not enough points awarded for penalty. Final Thoughts Bad. Rated on November 17, 2012 |
