Hello guys, I'm Ma Xiaojiao.
Hearthstone designers have revealed before the new version that there will be some version of the theme of the keyword to become resident keywords, players guessed a lot of answers, never expected that the last to become a resident keyword is actually dormant. The new version of Hearthstone has launched 3 dormant followers with similar names and similar effects in one go, and this article will talk about their intensity.
Unlike the Outer Realms version of the Dormant two-turn "Imprisoned" prefix, Hearthstone's new version uses the "Dive" prefix and changes the dormancy time to one turn, giving these minions an additional fixed raid keyword. We can actually understand it like this: Dormant Round + Raid is actually an ordinary minion that can survive to the second round of attack, but cannot punch in the face. To understand this, the three retinues went something like this:
Dive dive pelicans, 1 cost 4-1.
Diving mud scale fish man, 3 cost 2-4, highly toxic.
Dive springboard crew, 5 cost 6-4, have immunity when attacking.
The first dive swoop pelican, just looking at the figure, is undoubtedly a supermodel. If you can stably punch your face, this is definitely a god card, but the existence of the raid makes it only available for exchange, is it worth it? Obviously it is not worth it, because the 4-1 figure is destined to do only one for one, this figure is flashy, replaced by 3-2, the effect will not be bad, and it is even possible to survive after the exchange to continue to output. So, diving dive pelicans are 99% of a waste card, even in the arena.
The second scuba diving mud scale fish man, highly toxic with dormancy + raid allows it to play a stable exchange ability at all stages of the game, as long as it is played, it can bring great pressure to the opponent. It looks good, but if we compare some of the other 3-fee poison minions, we will find that its strength is actually like that. For example, scorpions, scorpions have less blood, but there is little difference in the middle and late stages, and scorpions can also pick up a spell for free. Another example is the stone skin lizard, which can eat two damages. Therefore, the diving mud scale fish people are not weak, but they are definitely not strong, and the mid- and late-stage deck can take the scorpion and certainly will not take it.
The third diving springboard crew is the strongest of the three, having immunity when attacking, allowing it to stably eat a 6-blood retinue, which is actually very profitable in the medium term. However, this effect is actually very contradictory, all the special effects are biased towards the solution, but they cannot solve the game in the round played, and they have to wait until the second round. Whether or not you can hit the original goal is a problem, whether the original goal is worth fighting is also a problem, and whether you can beat the new goal is even more a problem. It looks stable, but it is not stable at all.
With the third card, we can clearly see the problem of these dive retinues: they can only limit the opponent's entourage to the middle of the dominant round or the first hand. If the opponent's entourage will be stable and untied by the dormant diving entourage, his active stand is to be replaced by small for large, and if he does not stand until we wake up, he will lose the rhythm, how uncomfortable. But this is also more passive for us, and it is completely possible to replace it with other more active followers (such as normal raid followers) to speed up the release and attack. Therefore, these three cards are actually three useless vases in the end
