The Evil heroes of the Organization may have a history of being beat by the Good heroes of the Huntik Foundation, but the Bloodspiral are here to change that.

Shauna, Spiral Sister is a great major hero to play on the first round. She’s better than playing a Scarabese, because you don’t just see the other player’s hand, you get to strip it of its best minor hero or action. You have to discard a card from your hand if you choose to use this power, but you see the opponent’s cards so you can pick a card from your hand that’s the least likely to help against what the opponent has.

Shauna’s 3 ATK and 6 DEF is a great asset on any round. In combat, she’s safe from even the strongest minors and many majors. Pair her up in a zone with another low ATK, high DEF hero and you can take out any enemy invaders without losing a hero.

Rassimov, Warlock Seeker is another new major hero option for an Evil deck.

Now that Rassimov is no longer undercover as an Organization operative, he can reveal the mastery he has over Seeker magic. Rassimov’s powers work with two new Exhaust Actions. One of those actions is the destructive Hopeshatter.

Like Acidheart, Hopeshatter can KO a hero without a combat. Hopeshatter can’t reach all the way across the map, but 2 zones away gets almost as close. Hopeshatter earns its place as being the best KO exhaust action because it can be used in any round. An early aggressive push by a large major hero can keep you down for rounds, but now you can keep enemies in check.

When Rassimov uses Hopeshatter, you can draw an extra card. This will keep you ahead of the opponent on the map, and in your hand.

Bloodspiral magic is dangerous and requires a strong hero to use. This is why Hopeshatter can be played only by a major or legendary hero. In Omens and Legacies Evil has a renewed focus on major and legendary heroes, and you’ll need plenty of them if you want to use these powerful actions. One of the best ways you can do this: Breaker Cub.

You play Breaker Cub as a minor hero, but on the table it is also a major hero. This growing Titan can exhaust to use Hopeshatter or Acidheart, and free up your major heroes to clean up your enemies in combat. The Cub is still a minor hero also, you can use tricks like Metzi or Air Drop to ready it.

These are just a few of the powerful new Evil cards that will change the face of Huntik from Omens and Legacies. Don’t miss your opportunity to play with and collect these cards first at the Sneak Preview.
