A Call to Arms: Tip of the Scales

You helped the Gobson Family put paid to the Gobalanos. You gave Nomos hope and rallied the fey. You defended Thanaloria against the Redywyrm dragons. And you collapsed the caverns leading into Rage's lair, which has become his tomb. The tide has turned. Join the rebels as they set their sights on Mox City, where Mantaroth rallies the Chaos legionnaires for a final stand. It's time to end this. Liberty or death. Vonak!

With Rage trapped within his lair and the other red dragons fighting over conrol of Mount Redwyrm's flight, you returned to the kingdom of the high elves. No sooner had you caught your breath than Bera Dallin and her Dauntless arrived on tower griffins.

Seems the rebels have liberated nearly every sovereign splinter of Praetoria. The last holdout is the Mox Confederation, where Mantaroth stands at the head of the army of the Tokatag Kalamenty in Mox City.

To defeat them, Bera Dallin plans to assault the Golden Arena, which the Chaos Empire has converted into an arms depot. But the Dauntless can't do it alone. They'll need your mage wagons and your help to take it.

Seize the Golden Arena and take the legions' weapons and armor to Elias Max Pruitt and his Mox City rebels. Help them defeat Mantaroth and the Tokatag army. Slay Silus of the Rift, and the dark god Uul will lose its hold. The legions will crumble. You'll be hailed a hero, and it's all happily ever after.

But something lurks beneath Praetoria, in the caverns of the lower Deep. Something indescribably huge with an insatiable appetite.

That something is your next legendary sumoner.

Nidhoggr

Since before the reach of memory or history, the immense dragon known as Nidhoggr has slumbered beneath Praetoria, buried in the nethermost reaches of the Deep.

But when the legions of Chaos tore open rifts in the boundaries that separated the Splinterlands from the other realms of existence, Nidhoggr stirred. For he is a guardian dragon and custodian of these ley lines.

He rose from the chasm in which he'd buried himself, shook off a mountain of rock and debris, and enlisted the denizens of the Deep to travel to the surface and observe. Soon, he learned of the Chaos Empire's trespass. He learned of the Splinterlanders failure to stop them.

And he found them both guilty.

Praetoria trembles as Nidhoggr stretches his wings and tears at the earth with claws and teeth. Soon, he will rise, both vengeful and ravenous.

Nidhoggr is the Rebellion set's Dragon legendary Tactics summoner. He's got teamwide -1 armor and -1 health debuffs, as well as a teamwide debilitation.

Force Reduction
Reduces maximum team size by 1.

Ouch. That hurts. But do the Tactics make up for it? Survey says... you bet.

On the left side, you can give Blast and Deathblow to 3 units, making Nidhoggr nearly on par with a certain Untamed summoner. Only in this case, we're talking about a Dragon summoner, so you can slap those Blasts and Deathblows on just about any element your heart desires.

And the right side is enough to curl your toes as well: +2 Speed and Execute to 3 units. These abilities pair great with Charge, high damage, and dual-attack units, while the Tactic makes your speedy units even speedier and nigh impossible to hit!

What do you think? Which Tactic do you prefer, and how do you imagine using it to gain the upperhand in the arena?

By the Numbers

Like the previous Conflicts, 4,000 copies of Nidhoggr will be airdropped to participating players based on their total Reward Chances when the Conflict ends. But this go-round, it will take 425 Reward Chances to guarantee a copy of the card.
