Positioning


Pirate Captain is placed in the middle of the build because of its low health. He's a ranged creature so he can attack even if not placed in the first position. Protecting Pirate Captain is good to abuse his damage potential. The more he survives, the more damage output he can provide.

Advantageous Rules:

  • AIM TRUE: Melee and Ranged attacks always hit their target.
  • ARMORED UP: All Monsters have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat.
  • CLOSE RANGE: Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
  • EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY: All Monsters have the Blast ability.
  • FOG OF WAR: Monsters lose the Sneak and Snipe abilities.
  • HOLY PROTECTION: All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.
  • LITTLE LEAGUE: Only Monsters & Summoners that cost 4 Mana or less may be used in battles.
  • UNPROTECTED: Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs.

    Disadvantageous Rules:

  • BACK TO BASICS: Monsters lose all abilities.
  • BROKEN ARROWS: Ranged attack Monsters may not be used in battles.
  • EARTHQUAKE: Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.
  • EQUALIZER: The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.
  • EVEN STEVENS: Only Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles.
  • NOXIOUS FUMES: All Monsters start the battle Poisoned.
  • REVERSE SPEED: Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.

Compatibility


Pirate Captain is most advantageous in sniper builds. His low mana and high damage at level 2 almost always makes you pick him over the other. He's a good filler, yes, but with 2 damage, he can normally one shot or two shot any supports that are making your life harder than it should be.

Final Remarks


Pirate Captain Level 2 is good because it can be leveled up with only 3 cards. If leveled up, it gains extra 1 damage permanently which is the most important stats in the game. The higher the damage, the faster you can kill your opponent. Being a sniper card, that extra damage is super good because he prioritizes those pesky tank healers and mages which has low health in the first place. Its low mana cost also allows him to be in Little League Rule Sets. Pirate Captain is a really useful card that is worth your effort to level up early.
