Stingers, not so much, but Stinger Drain can help them hit harder.
Longer range hitters, like the Majors, are even worse. I've seen myself whiff on my 6 defense die too often.  |
The Minions are ESPECIALLY susceptible to the Warriors of Ashra. This afternoon I played 3 games fielding 2 cards of WOA on one and 3 cards on the other and I decimated 3-4 squads of Minions.
