Dear Denizens of Issilith!

Drakkoriths are a pretty straightforward faction in terms of mechanics, and their playstyle is usually appropriate for most players. And since Drakkorith units are often beefy and with very cool effects or devastating mods, it’s not such a surprise that Drakkorith cards are often players' favourites.

TEAM MEMBER: Jasmin Daniel Saračević (3D Artist)
FAVOURITE CARD: Phaerox Battlemaster

“He'll fetch you what you need, not what you want.”

Even though the prime mission of the Phaerox order is to soften up enemy forces before the major Drakkorith force attacks, it does not mean that their whole focus is on offence. Sometimes even the ones handling such a daunting task need help. That is why the Phaerox order specifically trained their own Battlemasters, whose job is to deliver the right thing that their fellow soldiers will need. Thanks to their unique training and observational skills, it’s not really rare that the Phaerox Battlemasters know what their front line needs even before they realize it. One more proof of their military organization.


Phaerox Battlemaster is a 3 cost Drakkorith unit. Its power is set at 2 and health at 3. This unit also has an on-play effect. When you play it, you will obtain a special attack card from your deck. Keep in mind that this card will only obtain special attacks you’ve added to your deck, so to utilize this card a little bit of planning is needed. It's also recommended to play Battlemaster before you use your energy that turn, as it will draw a special attack, which is an energy card, giving you an extra option to play on your turn.

WHY: “Simply because I get a special card from the deck, so it is unpredictable and can significantly affect the outcome of my next move.”

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

For Drakkoriths, to be a part of the military is not just a requirement but an honour. And thanks to their military discipline and vigour, things can work out unexpectedly in their favour.

Drakkorith military is one of the most organised in all of Issilith. Following the chain of command is a must, and fellow soldiers have the utmost respect for their superiors, following their every lead, because they know that to advance in the military hierarchy one must earn every promotion. Nothing is given, and everything has to be earned. However, even such an organised military can sometimes be on the losing end. It's then that the highlords of the military will turn to more...primal means. Often they will let out a warcry that will shake their comrades to their cores. It will reinvigorate them and send them into a mighty charge. After all, the battle is embedded deep in Drakkorith's blood.

Highlords Warcry is a Drakkorith ability card that costs 3 energy. Once you play it, all friendly units will gain juggernaut, allowing them to deal excess damage to the enemy Core when they’re attacking. If you have some heavy hitters in your Drakkorith deck, try to include Highlords Warcry as well since it will not let any damage point go to waste.

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

Drakkorith history is filled with many battles fought with valour and relentlessness. So in order to become a legend, one must do something either really heroic or revolutionary.

Though a very battle-ready nation, not every confrontation the Drakkorith were a part of went in their favour. During one of the many nameless battles the Drakkoriths fought, the vehicle that carried a cannon was destroyed, rendering the cannon practically useless. The clock was ticking. It was only a matter of time before the Drakkorith would lose this fight. But it was then that Laruth picked up the cannon and used it himself, turning the tides of the battle, and creating a legend told even today. This encouraged the creation of a new military order, special forces trained to carry and use cannons without the need for mechanical carriers, the Phaerox order. Thanks to his accomplishments, Laruth became the leader of the Phaerox order. Their main mission? To soften up enemy forces before the main strike force is sent. Maybe that’s where that famous Drakkorith saying comes from, “When Laruth's weapon speaks, even prayers fall silent”.

Laruth is a legendary Drakkorith unit that costs 7 essence and has its stats set at 3 power and 7 health. It also has repel, meaning it can’t be targeted by the ability cards. But what makes this card really special is its effect. After your Avatar attacks, Laruth will deal damage equal to his power to the enemy Core! Combine Laruth with cards like Agni Ronin that will enable your Avatar to attack multiple times during the turn, or buff Laruth’s own power with Taris Veteran and other similar cards to inflict as much direct damage to your opponent’s Core as you can.

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

PHAGEBORN has many interesting units with different combinations, both by themselves and in synergies with other cards. Those combinations will allow you to take down creatures from your nightmares and get the most out of every situation.

Ascended are known as restless warriors of vengeance, fighting for what they believe is right. However, not all Ascended take the same route in achieving their goals. Some prefer the more offensive route, such as those following the teaching of Tey, while others focus on defending their comrades and providing support for them. Even so, among those that take the more defensive route are the ones that prefer a more…aggressive approach. After all, sometimes offence is the best defence. At least that is the point of view of Centurion Chargers. These bulky Duran soldiers are known for their sudden charges, flanking their opponents, and catching them off guard. And thanks to their durable armour, they don’t need to think twice about rushing amidst their enemies.

Centurion Charger is a 4-cost Ascended unit whose stats are set at 2/4. While it may not seem like the appropriate amount of damage for a 4-cost card, this unit gains quickstrike until the end of its turn whenever it changes zones. And, if you consider that this unit has swift as well, a whole new world of opportunities will open. Swift will allow Centurion to attack after it changes zones, gaining quickstrike in the process and allowing Centurion to deal damage before the retaliation damage applies, meaning if the Centurion kills the enemy unit while having quickstrike, it will not take any damage. All this makes the Centurion Charger a great unit to gain board advantage during early turns or for finishing powerful units with a sliver of health.
