Re: The Book of Arkmer

In my mind this guy is worth his weight in gold with elf wizard armies. He, in my opinion is just about 25 points less in value than Chardris. Lets compare.

Offensive:
Arkmer- He has a base attack of 4 w/ 5 range.
Chardris- Has a special attack with a possible 5 attack dice and six 6 range. I give the slight advantage to Chardris.

Survivability:
Arkmer- 3 life and two defense, with a catch. All elves adjacent to him add 1 to his defense. So he has decent survivability.
Chardris- 6 life and two defense. He also has decent survivability.I give them a tie with the slight advantage going to Chardris.

Plus Arkmer has another ability to boot! Engagement strike.

After all of this I don't think that Arkmer should be 40 points less than Chardris. I think that Arkmer is fine at 50 it's just I think that Chardris is a little much at 90, especially when you compare him to Jordawn. I think that he should be in the 75-80 point range.

Overall though I enjoy playing the elf army not because it is super competitive but because it makes me think hard about every decision I make and it brings an interesting dynamic to the game.
