Playing Ariana against the Rank 1 Player | Dune Imperium: Digital Ranked Season 3

[@JDSecretPolice]

Surprised I lost that with a such a ridiculous start. Don't recall this game at all, but I do remember another ariana game of yours where you took an interesting decision, hopefully we'll see it soon :)

[@cheesable]

I don't have it for some reason... I'll go look for it This season is in the name of science! haha

Seems like the fix to Ariana would be, if instead of her passive where you get 1 less spice and a draw from going to mining spots, you *may* pay 1 spice for one draw when you go to mining spots. Her ring would be good, but still not even the best in the game, and her passive would occasionally provide a mild benefit. It would make her a playable, mid-tier leader I think, with some nice advantages for some boards.

[@JolNarBinks]

I would like to try this. She does pretty alright in immortality though, so my group would never let me homebrew this

[@cheesable]

yeh having it optional does help. It would have in this game

[@kernswelt2034]

I played a bit of ariana this season, and it honestly didnt feel too bad, when there are no competing deckbuilding-leaders. The problem is propably that there arent really any early-game lines, ariana can go for (no fast swordmaster, 2 cost tech, fast spaceing friedship and no imperium row access), that give her an edge over other players.

[@cheesable]

Yeppp. The good lines all have roadblocks for her

[@cheesable]

Even when I try to double smuggle I got screwerd

[@Masterjack633]

omg the ring draw in round 1, i wouldhv been tilted as hell already

[@cheesable]

Haha. Ikr. Means I can't smuggle and no swordmaster

[@JolNarBinks]

I think Ix is Ariana 's worst mode. She's better when she can play experimentations to desert spaces, and she's better with uprising 's water scarcity. Ix she's just bad.

[@theforgot3n1]

In Base game, I think she's actually very good alongside Helena. In my experience anyway.

[@cheesable]

I think relatively, she is bad to the top tier. amongst the B tier she still has a chance

[@Th3120ck]

The problem with the spoilers in the front is that i know what happened during the next two videos and i dont wanna watch it spoiled. Lol. 😢

[@jazzbjorn89]

It's a lovely meme though. And it's Ariana. We know she won't win 😂

[@dennisbabych]

true!

[@cheesable]

Haha. I think this game highlights some of Arianna pitfalls. You have to understand the losses to know how to win

[@joakimfredriksson3889]

I would love for the card draw to be pay a spice for a draw so it would be optional

[@cheesable]

Haha thing about board games is normally things don't get changed. But hey! It's a Digital version

[@joakimfredriksson3889]

@ yeah would be fun if they start mixing it up a bit like your balance changes

[@tomsule]

Her ring should be: take one less spice. For every spice you have taken draw a card... 😂

[@cheesable]

That seems a little bit too strong! but fun. wouldnt mind trying

[@tomsule]

@cheesable absolutely overpowered. But she is pretty much dead right now. And I dont see a comeback for her.

[@dennisbabych]

Ariana super weak leader :(

[@cheesable]

Haha. It has downsides. But it was somewhat amusing attempting this

[@theforgot3n1]

Rise of Ix doesn't really care as much about water as the base game or presumably other expansions... so yeah, it's bad.
