Description[ | ]
War Bots are token troops with no special abilities. As Artifacts and Robots, they are subject to many card effects that buff or destroy them.
Interactions[ | ]
- [Eurig the Robomancer] activated ability can transform a [Worker Bot] into a War Bot, or an existing War Bot a [War Hulk].
- [Master Theorycrafter] can summon a War Bot that gains [Speed] and the socket powers of Master Theorycrafter, assuming the threshold requirement is met. A War Bot summoned in this way is voided at the end of the same turn.
- When [Plan C] is played, the resources of the playing champion are reduced to 0, however a War Bot is created for every 2 resources lost in this way.
- [Assault Technician] creates a War Bot when played.
- [Ingenuity Engine] can randomly create a War Bot.
Strategy[ | ]
Synergies[ | ]
- Unlike a [Worker Bot], a War Bot can be used offensively, thus effects such as [Dwarven Armory] or [Assault Technician] that increase a Robot's attack or defensive stats can pose an offensive threat. Effects that would permanently affect a War Bot spawned from [Master Theorycrafter] should be avoided, due to their disposable nature.
Counters[ | ]
- A standard War Bot does not pose a significant threat by itself.
- Cards such as [Buccaneer] that can return cards to hand are effective against War Bot as it is a relatively inefficient as a 3/3 for 4 resources and no special effects.
Other[ | ]
- War Bot's playing cost of 4 is usually irrelevant, unless placed into your hand or an effect comes into play that cares about a card's playing cost.
Trivia[ | ]
- The art of [Malfunctioning War Bot] depicts a regular War Bot running wild. [Experimental War Hulk] has characteristics of both a War Bot and a War Hulk despite its name.
- Malfunctioning War Bot is a regulation card that can be included in a deck, however a regular "functioning" War Bot is a token that must be created in game, and can not be collected nor included in a deck.
