All cards discarded

Mevrain · June 2023

Hi, not sure if this belongs here or in the bug folder but... I just played a distinctly odd game of Tribute against an expert NPC. Two of the decks were Red Eagle and Rahjin. Every time one of those cards that lets you destroy a card from your hand came up the NPC took it and destroyed a card. In not very many hands it had no cards left and then just ceded its turn until I won. I know they've been "adjusting" NPC strategies but this seems a little extreme. Anyone know anything about this?

this is what i meant by the NPCs got far dumber, even though they actually use patrons more when i spoke of this in other threads

if you have hlaalu/reach + rahjin in play, the npc will end up sacrificing or destroying all of their own cards and limit their ability to do anything (or in some rare cases, remove every card from their own deck making it virtually impossible for you to lose)

hlaalu + rahjin is an easy way to beat the npcs, because they literally sacrifice every card they get with hlaalu and you can stall them with rahjin, so they may only make it to 20-30 prestige before they have 0 economy and you get some rahjin cards to dock their prestige

i think i only lost 1 tribute game against the npcs since the update, and that was because i let them get too much prestige before they started removing all of the cards from their deck lol
