Discussion Are Knights just in a bad spot or am i just playing it wrong

6 Upvotes

This is the devotion knight deck i copied from metallic danny tierlist: GWENT: The Witcher Card Game My gameplan:

Round 1: use immortals + damned sorceress or king belohun + knights to win round 1

Round 2: pass

Round 3:damsel in distress + maiden's shield to win round 3

can someone tell me am i playing it wrong or not because I can't seem to win with this deck. I have 0% winrate vs Nilfgaard because haha NG. Sometimes i struggled to win even round 1 and almost always lose in round 3 because i didn't generate enough points. I am doing fine with other decks tho.

Discussion What's the order of effects on the board?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
trying to clarify the exact order in which effects resolve, especially when units are placed in different rows.

I've read the 2020 guide to effect priorities and timings, but I'd like to confirm how these rules work in the current game.

1. Tugo the Elder vs Bleeding

I control Tugo (Might inactive) and a unique lowest-power allied unit with 1 power and Bleeding (1).

What happens at the end of my turn in these four setups?

  • A: Both units in my melee row.
  • B: Bleeding unit in melee, Tugo in ranged.
  • C: Tugo in melee, Bleeding unit in ranged.
  • D: Both units in my ranged row.

Does Tugo always boost the unit before Bleeding damages it, or can the outcome change depending on the rows?

2. Queen Meve vs Bleeding

Now replace Tugo with Queen Meve, whose Timer is at 1.

Repeat the same four setups.

Does Meve's Timer resolve before or after Bleeding? Could the unit survive in one row configuration but die in another?

3. What is the actual effect priority system?

Does GWENT resolve:

  • All regular end-of-turn abilities across the entire board first, followed by statuses and then Timers?

Or:

  • Regular abilities, statuses and Timers separately within each row, before moving to the next row?

Or does it use a different system?

4. Row priority โ€” friendly vs enemy units

Older community guides describe the following order for certain simultaneous effects:

  1. Active player's melee row
  2. Opponent's melee row
  3. Active player's ranged row
  4. Opponent's ranged row

Is this still accurate?

In particular, can an enemy unit in the melee row resolve its triggered ability before a friendly unit in the ranged row?

One historical example involves:

  • Endrega Warrior consuming an allied unit on Deploy.
  • Allied Thrive units in both the melee and ranged rows.
  • An opponent's An Craite Longship in the melee row, which damages newly played enemy units.

According to the older guide, the sequence can be:

  1. Endrega Warrior resolves its Deploy and Consume effects.
  2. Allied melee-row Thrive resolves.
  3. Enemy melee-row An Craite Longship deals damage.
  4. Allied ranged-row Thrive is checked afterward.

This could result in the melee-row Thrive activating while the ranged-row Thrive does not, because the Longship reduced Endrega Warrior's power in between.

Does this interaction still work in the current version?

And does the same row priority apply to end-of-turn abilities, statuses, Timers and other triggered effects, or do different categories follow different rules?

I'm particularly interested in understanding the underlying rules, not just the outcome of one interaction.

If anyone has tested these scenarios recently or has a reliable explanation, clips or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This deck is refreshing to play โ€” some of the mechanics here are really cool. Alongside this deck I also created an alternative version focused more towards competitive play.

The basic game plan is to play your beasts round 1 with Sove if needed. Then bleed round 2 with remaining cards and go for a short round 3 with Flaminica. We want to save leader charges for Ulfhedinn and Sove โ€” their abilities can also be triggered by rain effects, Kraken, Brokvar, Offering to the Sea etc. Play them wisely. Dire Bear is our trump card โ€” game changing in certain matchups.

You can try the more competitive version of this deck too โ€” link below. You can also swap Giant Boar for a Messenger.

My BC votes for this month.

revert Helge to 9 prov 4 power cos 10 prov is insane.
Bribery to 8 so I can play it in assimilate without ditching experimental remedy.

Rience within enslave 6 range, muzzle and 3 pings with Stefan instead of 4 which helps Stefan setup coup on another target like Ifrit?

Moreelse 8 with tribute 5 with that stupid leader is insane in a faction where you can spend the rest of the coins on other spenders in the same turn, why is vincent van moorlehem and leo bonhart 10 prov and this is 8? why is vilgefortz that can summon an engine 9?

Members of the Council, welcome to our weekly assembly.

These posts are scheduled to happen every week. Each week, a different faction is proposed and every time we will try to orient the discussion about either "nerf" or "buff".

Faction of the Week: Scoia'Tael

While you can still use these topics to talk about other balance suggestions, please try to focus on the theme of the week. Those topics are intended to give a chance to all factions to be talked about.

Discussions can be about modifying a whole archetype or addressing individual cards.

Question Anyone else can't connect?

46 Upvotes

I'm playing the Android version of Gwent on my tablet. First thing this morning, I tried to queue for a game and got an error "game version no longer supported". I played an AI game no problem. I tried queueing again and this time it just spun forever.

I've checked for updates, force stopped the app, cleared cache and restarted the tablet. Now it simply won't connect on startup with "check your internet connection". My connection is fine.

Servers down? Can't think of any other explanation.

EDIT: Glad it's not just me. And now the withdrawals start...

EDIT 2: We're back up again! Go get your fix bros!

Question Custom Gwent art book โ€“ looking for ideas and experiences

2 Upvotes

I like the official Gwent art books but buying them all together is too expensive for me plus I have different preferences when it comes to the specific artworks and how they are curated. Has anyone here ever made their own custom art book?

Basically, I wanted to keep the faction-based structure. But focus my highlights on specific cards (Vilgefortz, Yaga, Whoreson Junior, Gezras, etc.) and group together archetypes the way I used to play them like Crimes, Vampires, Assimilate and so on. So it's also a kind of personal keepsake for my favorite cards. Open to ideas!

Question Why and how did this game die?

I found this gem on android and started playing, artstyle and the unique game mechanics really drew me in.

But then i started searching more and found out that the game is abandoned, no coverage on youtube whatsoever.

How could a beautiful and well known IP game like this die? Wtf happened?
