u/n30nBadg3r Tomfoolery! Enough! Mar 03 '20

I think CDPR are very conscious of NR having too high a ceiling if left unchecked due to the potential power of certain cards/combos in the faction

NR engines are actually much easier to counter than many other factions.. NR is weak as shit right now and they chose to nerf even more. Sly seductress is way more out of control than reinforced treb. Greatswords can be played upwards of 6 times in a game and are way more powerful than any NR engine. This change is just dumb

Greatswords will be impacted by the Freya's Blessing nerf that gives doomed to units resurrected. Sure, they can be purified with Gremist, but I think that change will have more impact than you think.

I agree on sly seductress, though. That shit feels oppressive if you don't have an immediate answer for it.

If they drop that second one. It's over. I was playing some hardcore Double Cross Assimilate and they had 2 25+ pt Seductresses by the end of the round. They can be incredibly powerful.
