List of Clan Combinations[]

Clan Hellhorned Clan Awoken[]

Rage is very good on Multistrike and Sweep units. Slay triggers on units with Spikes. Slay and Strike effects are very good on units with Multistrike or Sweep. Floor Overstacking works well behind banner units with a large health pool. Avoid Armor and Regen, as they do not work well together.

Clan Hellhorned Clan Stygian Guard[]

Rage and Armor are common in both clans and can therefore be combined easily. Rage is very good on Sweep units. Floor Overstacking is very good with Incant units. Avoid Imps, if you rely on Incant.

Clan Hellhorned Clan Umbra[]

Increasing floor capacity works very well in combination with playing many Imp units. Trample works well on units that scale with Regen or have Multistrike. Ember generation lets you play expensive spells and units from Hellhorned. Slay and Strike abilities work on Shadoweater.

Clan Hellhorned Clan Melting Remnant[]

Reforming and Harvest strategies work very well with Imp units. Making cards cost 0 Ember is very good for expensive cards. Both clans make use of Rage. Stealth is a good alternative to stacking Armor on units. Avoid reforming units that you scale with Rage and Armor.

Clan Hellhorned Clan Wurmkin[]

Both clans make use of Armor. Floor Overstacking works very well with Inspire units. Hellhorned has very strong consume spells and Wurmkin has the ability to bring back consume spells. Avoid putting Rage and Armor on eggs before they have hatched.

Clan Awoken Clan Stygian Guard[]
