Catapult | Trebuchet

[jmdt]

I played against arath with a healing deck and last turn he flung 3 titans for 90 damage.  This card can get pretty ugly IF it has time to set up.

The card is certainly an interesting one.  With some flying titans, this can do some serious damage...

If you have a poison attrition deck beware. This one will kill you every time. AI had at least 7 dragons out and thought my shards could handle it for a many turns before popping off a miracle since my carapace was taking care of the lower health ones neatly. A pair of catapults comes along and I wasn't paying attention. Within about three turns I was the AI had another few dragons out and I was sucking up at least 20 poison damage per turn.

If you asked me that effect is a little bit unbalanced. Only made it through because I had ridiculous healing ability in that deck.

Imbalanced effect?
Costs:
Summon many dragons-   ~80 quanta
Summon 2 catapults -   6
Hope that your opponent has carapace shield - extreme luck
Effect:
20 poison


Now to compare
Costs:
6 deadly poison - 12
two hits with arsenic -  2
Effect:
20 poison

You forgot all the damage that the dragons do before you actually throw them.

You can also use it with inexpensive creatures too.

Has anyone else noticed, that after a catapult fires (at least, an AI controlled one, I haven't tried a catapult deck myself yet), that the sound effects for individual attacks shut off? All other sound effects seem to be there, just the ones for attacks go silent. And it carries over unless I reload the game.

Yes, I have already reported it as a bug. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17989.0.html)

the FG music is also shut off

Osiris has turned a hard god to beat since he has trebuchets on his deck. If you let him play he sacrifices the scarabs and unless you have the carapace shield, it's game over.

Or, you know, permanent control of any kind.

Yes. I was saying: where the f.... is my pulvy?

Fun tip VS Osiris with CCYB?: antimatter some early pharaohs, negative attack creatures have more priority for trebuchet than frozen ones. It sure delays the scarab swarm.
