conversations.value: theterran: Just curious how you're still standing between that 13 point KFB and my eagle attack...I don't see rageclaws on your sheet 🤨
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: TheFallenOne: Shifter Ferocity does basically the same, but it only works when shifting, and since he could only do so on his turn I think you indeed took him down. Tad anticlimatic, that's Rivers for you
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Master_Rahl22: ...
  
  Wow I never expected that to make a difference, so I had always treated it as Rageclaws.  Last time I fight on Rivers I guess.  🫤
  
  Good match.

   Krunk takes the initiative and the victory. 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: TheFallenOne: well, you could have used tents, a carriage or other big objects to block LoE in the beginning to give you some buff time. But it's rather bad that such things are necessary to even get your first turn
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: Nonsense.  We shouldn't have a lot of maps like this, but I like that we have the one.  Besides, if you don't like playing on the map, you don't have to.  Same way that I'll likely never fight in Clouds again.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Yeah, River's still one of my favourite arenas.  The occasional first turn kill doesn't really detract from its appeal.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: I daresay that is part of the appeal, if only because such things are so rare in Arena.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Master_Rahl22: Oh I'm sure such things are part of the appeal, especially for the kind of "let's see if I can cast 9th level spells at character level 1" type arcane casters that occasionally get built.  I have no interest in those kinds of characters, hence I'll probably avoid Rivers now. 🙂
