Avatar Playstyle: Vigoss
Dear Denizens of Issilith!
It may seem like the Ascended are defence oriented, however, that is not always the case. Vigoss is one of the Avatars with a pretty straightforward offensive Skill making him fit our classification as a Caster Avatar. Judicate, his Skill, will deal 2 damage to the enemy Core, then mute the Skill. At the start of your turn, if you didn't use this Skill during your last turn it will be unmuted. That means that every second turn you can inflict 2 damage directly to the enemy Core for only 3 energy.
Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can spice things up with one of the Vigoss' traits. His first Skill, Reactive Armor, will put 2 shield counters on him every time you play an energy card. This can give you a tactical advantage and help you create a meaningful board advantage.
Recycle Energy will reduce the cost of the highest cost energy card in your hand by 1 every time you use Vigoss' Skill. If you play accordingly around this trait you won't be needing to level your energy as much as you would otherwise, or pull out a card a few turns before they expect it. That leaves you more freedom to adapt to the flow of the game and level up Leadership, to buff your Avatar and units, or use Overcharge to gain card advantage over your opponent.
And with Cooling System, the cost of Vigoss' Skill is reduced by 1, allowing you to inflict 2 damage to the enemy Core for 2 energy every second turn. How's that for the offence?
