[@usaku9851]

Especially when you upgraded it so that it hits almost every unit in the line most of the time. You just have to make sure that you use the card around the beginning so you can get the maximum profit of it. But not too soon, or the enemy just avoids the flames.

[@Jamick98Geass]

@@usaku9851 Yeah I agree. I like to wait until the opponent commits minimum 3 units on the board before dropping the fire force. I also don’t mind picking them up during my cycle though during the late game for extra points.

@@rosameltrozo5889 ​ @Sergiusko www.playstationlifestyle.net/2019/12/06/thronebreaker-the-witcher-tales-sequel-cdpr/ To give you guys a little except: "Despite generally positive reviews, the title did not move the needle as the studio presumed it would. Within weeks of its PC release, CD Projekt spoke of the game’s failure to meet sales expectations in an earnings call." Additionally: "Might this Gwent-centric RPG see the series further explored in a potential sequel? According to developers from CD Projekt RED, the answer is a simple “no.”" They've also discontinued support for the standalone Gwent card game on PS4 and Xbox One as of December 9th, 2019, due to lackluster participation and sales on that front. Long story short: CDPR is only after the money, not the art the games made. Cyberpunk 2077 is perfect evidence of that.

[@magni5648]

They don't really help that much, though? Main issue with Aep Dahy is that his fucking 90-card deck and auto-replacing means he'll always have both rows full with high-value stuff on the decisive round. He's not doing that much damage to your side, so Eyck and Isbel won't hit that hard on top of killing his cards being mostly counterproductive. What you need is a way to do controlled damage and leave his cards weakened, but alive. Or alternatively break things by getting your own side immensely buffed up with Reinforcements/Adept/Alchemist/Forager shenanigans.

@@wiktorija3 I would have to disagree, for me the gameplay was by far the weakest aspect of the game.

Kicking the ass of Nilfgaard has never been so satisfying! The irony was, as in The Witcher 3; the Empire crumbled, not because of the War casualties, or military proficiency, but because of it's administrative tasks & payment fees, in order to sustain an army.

@@City-Hunter Your original statement was about the Witcher 3 and then you go on to talk about Radovid in the time of Thronebreaker. Radovid would win the war against Emhyr through strategy and conflict if he is left alive in the Witcher 3. As for Thronebreaker, yes it is difficult and expensive to raise all the armies Nilfgaard uses, which is why they had to win quickly and decisively to force treaties out of Henselt, Foltest and Radovid. This is also why Novigrad is so important during the war in the Witcher 3.
