Gravity certainly has unusual tactics at it's disposal. They may be quite surprising.
Strengths:-Momentum!: Gravity has the dangerous ability to bypass shields, which means Healing will be more important than ever for us. Momentum, Titan, Chimera, Charger
-HIGH HP Creatures: Gravity has some of the bulkiest creatures in the game. Combining these guys with Gravity Pull is annoying. Several types of CC are next to useless though. Armagio, Colossal Dragon, Chimera, Otyugh.
-Shields: Gravity Shield, while underestimated, is still powerful. Not much of a concern against us, however, as only Emerald Dragon would be stopped by it.
-Growing Creatures: Impedes our ability to stall, which is not nice. Graviton Fire Eater, Otugh.
-Creature Control: Gravity Pull is pretty lame for CC, but it should not be neglected. Otyugh, however, is a much greater concern.
-Quanta Denial: Black Hole is inefficient against monos / duos, but with the right strategy it could be a menace.
-Rushers:
definitely can't rush like we can, but it still has this ability. Graviton Mercenary, Graviton Fire Eater.
-Healing: Black Hole also has the unfortunate healing side effect, not efficient, but still existent.
Weaknesses:-No Permanent Control: Even though Momentum gets through shields, other permanents are safe to use which is a huge plus.
-Lack of Heavy Hitters: Gravity has the worst dragon (in terms of attack) in the game, and Chimera is just meh. While shields may not be useful in this case, Healing is a definite advantage.
-Slow set up:
is primarily a defensive element, and defenses can take time to get set up effectively. As shown in most duels versus the Gravity Elder, rushes can pass through easily.
-Lack of Creature Control: Gravity has only one real method of CC at its disposal, which means that rushes are fairly safe here. In saying that, however, this in turn means we can expect a pairing with an element that specializes in CC to counter this weakness.
Rushes still seem like a good route to take here. We should probably make a more defensive route though, adding Heals and such would be a good idea. Let's also remember that Momentum is Lobotomize-able, so I'm thinking that a Frogtal variation could be a useful option.
Most likely synergies:
/
: This one scares me the most because it counters the most likely strategy to be used against
so easily. Fire Eaters, Fire Spirits, Lava Golems, Otyughs, dangerous CC (especially Fire Shield in this case)...yeah we need to think about this one.
/
: This one's kind of meh, but it's worth mentioning. Angels + Armagio, Blessing + Oty, plus the terrible threat of Miracle is a good stall tactic.
/
: I don't like this one either...hard to counter and just plain evil. Discord + Blackhole.
/
: Otyugh + Vulture + Boneyard + Bonewall. Pretty mean. Momentum + Deathstalker is meh.
/
: These have been discussed, and I don't expect many of these to be used against us.
/
: Flying Weapon + Gravity Pull + Titan? Hey, it's possible.
/
: Pulverizer, Shriekers, etc. (see Obliterator).
Begin discussion.
