The Book of Venoc Warlord

Malliddon's Prophecy - Collection 1 - "Heroes of Bleakwoode"

If you cannot see the Army Card graphic, check Hasbro's Unit Page for stats and special powers, plus "character biography" and other non-game unit info.

Character Bio: Even though the Venocs are largely an unintelligent species, there are some who have developed true intelligence. The Venoc Warlord, a super species of Viper, has developed enough brainpower to speak, work out battle tactics, speech, and lead his scouts effectively on the battlefield. In the company of his scouts, the Venoc Warlord enhances their relentless, frenzied attacks. (Hasbro)

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

Strategy Notes:

• - Venoc Warlord is a fierce and unyielding opponent. His quick movement on the battlefield along with his Slither ability makes him well suited for a flat battlefield, or one with a lot of water. His life of 6 makes him very durable, and able to fight on the front lines of most campaigns. However, if you are using him with a squad that utilizes his enhancements (Scout Leadership or Frenzy Enhancement) be wary about sending him too far into the fray. He is immensely valuable when drafted with an army that benefits from his enhancements. (Hasbro FAQ)

Who is affected by Venoc Warlord's Special Powers?

• - Scout Leadership: Venoc Vipers, & Elite Onyx Vipers.
  - Frenzy Enhancement: Venoc Vipers, & Aubrien Archers.
  - Slither: Only Venoc Warlord.
  (Hasbro FAQ)

Who else could I draft with Venoc Warlord?

• - Venoc Vipers
  The Venoc Vipers are the ultimate squad to draft with Venoc Warlord. His Scout Leadership and Frenzy Enhancement both affect the Venoc Vipers & make them more dangerous. While they are not always the first squad drafted because of their lack of defense, they more than make up for it with their Frenzy ability. Draft at least 2 squads of them (more if you can) so that once they start getting picked off, they can still be a threat. (Hasbro FAQ)
  
  - Aubrien Archers
  For the same reasons as the Venoc Vipers, you should draft the Aubrien Archers along with Venoc Warlord. Their ability to Frenzy each turn and continuously rain arrows from afar makes them uniquely suited to fight alongside their brother in arms. (Hasbro FAQ)
  
  - Armoc Vipers
  The Armoc Vipers have Ullar Warlord Bonding which means before you take a turn with Armoc Vipers you can take a turn with the Venoc Warlord for free. (Hasbro FAQ)
  
  - Roman Legionnaires
  The Roman Legionnaires have Warlord Bonding which means before you take a turn with Roman Legionnaires you can take a turn with the Venoc Warlord for free. (Hasbro FAQ)

Who does Venoc Warlord work well against?

• - Kelda the Kyrie Warrior
  Venoc Warlord works well against most heroes. His life of 6 makes him one of the more durable heroes in the game. He works especially well against Kelda. His defense of 3 is normally enough to hold off her minimal attack of 2 and with his 6 life vs. her life of 5, he can hold the upper hand in most battles. (Hasbro FAQ)
  
  - Airborne Elite
  The Airborne Elite are easy prey for Venoc Warlord. He can easily outrun them on any battlefield, and can quickly dispatch them one by one. The only trick is to try and stay just out of range before he attacks, and to use the Venoc Vipers (or another fast squad at your disposal) to engage them. This strategy will keep them from bombarding Venoc Warlord with gunfire & grenades as he approaches for the kill. (Hasbro FAQ)[/i]
