Inner Oasis? IDK , just thinking of the art work and how it gives a minion or more extra health, which is essentially youth

aftermath123 · July 30, 2016, 1:36pm

Nope. Answer can do what Fountain of Youth does as well as something else.

lster567 · July 30, 2016, 1:39pm

A card that is like fountain of youth : Breath of the unborn
It basically does the same thing, and since it talks about mothers and children in the last part of the riddle I guess that can refer to the unborn part?

This makes a lot of sense. The second line probably refers to ghost lightning then.

archer4 · July 30, 2016, 1:41pm

Well done with the deathfire crescendo!

For the first riddle, heaven’s eclipse is a nice suggestion for the first two lines, but it does not fit the last two lines.

aftermath123 · July 30, 2016, 1:45pm

@lster567
Breath of the Unborn is the correct answer!

Second line actually refers to Tempest dealing two damage to all enemies. I kinda cheated: I know Tempest does damage to your own minions too, but Breath heals them to full at the same time so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The last two lines do refer to ‘unborn’. I interpret the card as the ghosts of miscarried children breathing…how else is it an Abyssian spell? Scary.

Damn, I was so sure about Heaven’s Eclipse since Apocalypse kind of translates to the lack of Heaven as well.

My next guess is Bloodmoon Priestess? Bloodmoon fits the first line really well and it kinda fits the other lines.

archer4 · July 30, 2016, 2:10pm

Yup, it’s Bloodmoon Priestess. Good job!

“I pray for cherry skies of night” - she’s a bloodmoon priestess.
“When hope is gone, eclipsed” - the Blood Moon prophecy refers to a series of apocalyptic beliefs about lunar eclipses
"When minions fight despite their fright, And serve apocalypse" - Minions fight and end up dying, which procs Bloodmoon Priestess’s deathwatch effect (thus serving apocalypse)

Yet another riddle:

I was the first to use a weapon of this kind.
Four more came after, and three who did it wrong.
I wander alone, knowing that one day I’ll be strong.
But for now, I will hide.
That day has not come.

lster567 · July 30, 2016, 4:02pm

First sworn of akrane because it was the first sword so the first line kinda matches?

Andyh · July 30, 2016, 4:56pm

Good guess, but Sword of Akrane is a good minion on its own (6 mana 7/7) - it has no need to hide and does not benefit from waiting.

lster567 · July 30, 2016, 10:13pm

Since you mentioned hiding until the time is right, I’m going to assume it’s to do with grow. Now sure which was the first one so either kolossus, grim war or earth walker?

Also, here’s a riddle:

I am stealthy like a shadow
But painted in blood
I’m not to be trusted
And you may hold a grudge

I will pierce you from behind
My specialty really
None see it coming
And you’ll regret ever trusting me dearly

Gore horn? The description describes the backstab mechanic and blood acts as a reference to gore.

Andyh · July 30, 2016, 10:43pm

None of those are correct, unfortunately. (In reference to my riddle) Although Grow is kind of similar to this card. Remember, there are multiple other cards that use my card’s weapon. Idk what kind of weapon Kollosus and Earth Walker use (btw you forgot Grimrock), and I’m pretty sure Grimwar is the only book in the game.

EDIT: Just realized that “Grim War” was probably an autocorrect from Grimrock. I was wondering why you aded Grimwar to that list

And my guess for your riddle is Kaido, Gore Horn, and Scarlet Viper. All of them are red Backstab minions, but Kaido specifically is like a ninja.

Or perhaps Mask of Shadows. MoS is pretty painted in blood from all the people it killed pre-nerf, and that’s why we may hold a grudge against it. Of course, it’s a backstab artifact. And post nerf, literally no one plays around MoS anymore.

Vindicator, perhaps? Or araki headhunter? They get stronger by waiting, and they both carry distinctive weapons, though I don’t know if they really fit. The first two lines are really interesting. I’m curious to know what exactly determines being first. I can only think of two possibilities: mana cost or when the card was introduced to the game.

Andyh · July 31, 2016, 12:18am

Araki Headhunter doesn’t necessarily get stronger by waiting. What if you don’t play a minion with an OG?

And I don’t think Vindicator was the first to use swords.

Hint: One of your two possibilities are correct.

lster567 · July 31, 2016, 1:15am

Yeah, my riddle was for kaido assassin but I realised that literally every backstabbing card fits the description. The grudge part was meant to symbolise how you would dislike someone If they turned on you (back stabbed)

As for your riddle I’m assuming it is arak I headhunter since it IS a headhunter

Rook? First to use pillar-cannon-thingies. Four sisters who come after use them in the same smash-the-ground fashion, three do not. Gets stronger as time passes, and generally hides behind, protected.

alexicon1 · July 31, 2016, 2:59am

First Sword of Akrane?

Andyh · July 5, 2019, 5:09am

I concede this battle to you!

It is indeed Rook! And you explanation as to why is spot on as well.

I was the first to use a weapon of this kind. - First to use pillars
Four more came after, and three who did it wrong. - Four sisters use their pillars like Rook does, where two use them as cannons and one broke hers in half.
I wander alone, knowing that one day I’ll be strong. - Gets stronger as time passes
But for now, I will hide. - Needs to stay in the back
That day has not come. - Actually means “That day will never come” because removal.
