Overview

Broken Truce is a rare spell that destroys units and structures with the downside of dealing damage to your base. The strength limit can be increased by leveling it up. Broken Truce is a versatile card and can fit into multiple types of decks.

Strategies

Broken Truce is a great removal card that costs you damage to your base. Use it on only the most high-value targets.

• You can use Broken Truce to destroy multiple high-strength or important units or structures for very little mana.
• In other situations, it may be best to destroy a low-strength unit or even a friendly unit in order to create empty tiles which can be used by other cards.
• Broken Truce should always be used carefully as it deals a moderate amount of damage to your own base, especially if your Fortress Level is low.
• When playing Broken Truce, always remember to choose the right target to minimize the spare damage that might hit any friendly unit or structure.
• Sometimes it may be more valuable to destroy a low-strength enemy and let the high excess damage be spread among other things.
