Overview

Description[]

The Bloodhorn is a creature native to the border between the Southern Wastes and the Red Desert. One of its principal enemies is the Juggernaut, so the Bloodhorn is used to a challenge. Stories tell of the earthshaking clashes that happen when these two creatures charge each other, locking into terrible combat. The Bloodhorn does not accept a master, unless it is a master even more wild and vicious as the Bloodhorn himself. So it is only natural that the only ones being able to ride the Bloodhorn are the female raiders of the wasteland bandits.

The Bloodhorn is a unit of XL size which specializes in attacking large targets. Not only can it trample its enemies in a wild stampede, its rider can put the Bloodhorn into a fierce rage. In this rage the Bloodhorn becomes a primal force of total destruction but due to the shadow roots of this ability, there is a price to be paid for this. The final ability that gives the Bloodhorn his name is its urge to devour the blood of its prey, healing itself with its strength.

The Tainted version doubles its damage with the blood ability. The Infused version rids itself of debuffs, including Ensnaring Roots and Damage over Time spells, but not Freeze Cards or Paralysis Cards, like Disenchant does.

Abilities[]

Infused Purge

Affinity: Infused

Activate to rid Bloodhorn of all debuff but its own life points are immediately reduced by 1500. It will be immune against all major debuffs for 15 seconds afterwards. Cannot be used anymore once life points have been reduced below 1500. Reusable every 30 seconds.

Tainted Enrage

Affinity: Tainted

Activate to put Bloodhorn in a murderous frenzy. The unit will deal 100% more damage for 15 seconds but its own life points are immediately reduced by 1500. Cannot be used anymore once life points habe been reduced below 1500. Reusable every 30 seconds.

Stampede

Activate to rush toward the target dealing 200 damage to enemies along the way, up to 9000 in total. Usable every 30 seconds.

Life Stealer

15% of the damage dealt by the unit will be added to its life points.

Uses

Roles[]

Tank
Mass Destruction - Stampede can wipe out entire bases.

Counter For[]

Creatures in general, particularly:
Infused only: Root effects, e.g. Grimvine's special ability, slowdown effects, e.g. Frost Bite, and Damage over Time spells, such as Envenom and Noxious Cloud

Countered By[]

Crowd Control Cards on both versions, with the exception of Root on the Infused version. The damage increase effect on the Tainted version continues, and the timer continues to run out, while the unit is frozen.
Payback Cards
- Phalanx See description above and Payback vs Stampede; not useful if opponent does not use stampede or trample.
Disintegrate Cards
- Church of Negation
- Wrathgazer

Combos[]

Creature Support Cards
Healing Cards
Damage Boost Cards: The usual damage increase cards, such as Unholy Hero, increase the chance of creating opportunities to kill enemies in one hit, or fewer hits, in conjunction with the Tainted damage increase ability, but then, they also increase the chance of overkill. This is because the Bloodhorn's damage is to single targets, or at best sweeps against a number of Squads, as opposed to Area Effect damage (Boom Brothers' BOOM! ability or Splash Damage (Necrofury, etc), which carry over to multiple targets.

Trivia[]

Tainted Enrage ability works multiplicative with Damage Boost Cards. Tainted Enrage (100% more damage) plus Unholy Hero (200% more damage). Base damage of Stampede** = 220, vs XL units = 330 (150% of base), with Tainted Enrage = 440 (200% of base), with Unholy Hero = 660 (300% of base), vs Sporelauncher (XL) with Tainted Enrage and Unholy Hero = 1980 (900% of base) = 220 * 150% * 200% * 300%
