Balvardhan

Recommended Position

Second to Sixth (Last)

Why?

It is a card with high Stamina (7 at Level 1) and can attack the highest Stamina card in the opponent's team from any position due to its Varah ability.

Top Abilities and Cards to Boost

Shankhnaad:

Increases Physical attack of your cards

Cards with Shankhnaad:

Level 1 onwards : Uttamaujas, AnantVijay Shankh
Level 3 onwards : Chitraksh
Level 4 onwards : Jambavant

Balvardhan at Level 1 has a Physical attack of 3. When coupled with any of the above cards, Shankhnaad ability increases the amount of damage Balvardhan can do to the opponent cards.

Top Abilities and Cards to Counter

ShastrBhransh:

Reduces damage from Physical and Ranged attacks

Cards with ShastrBhransh:

Level 1 onwards : Hidimb, Virbahu, Vajradatt
Level 3 onwards : Yudhishthir
Level 5 onwards : Alambush

Balvardhan at Level 1 has a Physical attack of 3. This means if it attacks cards with ShastrBhransh ability, the damage will get reduced to 2.

Pushpak:

Dodges Physical and Ranged attacks

Cards with Pushpak:

Level 1 onwards : Stunkarn, Satyaki, Subahu, Shwetaki, Shishupal, Vakr
Level 4 onwards : Vishalaksh, Suhast
Level 5 onwards : Hidimb, Vikat, Sama, Vikarn
Level 10 : Duhsah

Cards with Pushpak ability can dodge Physical and Ranged attacks. This means Balvardhan’s attack on such cards has a high chance of getting missed.

Katar :

Reflects Physical attack with reduced Physical attack (min 1)

Cards with Katar :

Level 1 onwards : Adityaketu
Level 5 onwards : Vajradatt
Level 6 onwards : Suhast

Cards with Katar ability hit back at Physical attack cards with reduced Physical attack. This means, if attacked by Balvardhan at Level 1 with a Physical attack of 2, these cards will be able to return an equal damage of 1 every time the hit is successful.

Chumbak :

Opponent cards must attack this card first

Cards with Chumbak:

Level 1 onwards : Jayadrath, Bahlik, Satva

Cards with Chumbak ability are attacked first by the opponent’s team. Due to this Balvardhan’s Varah ability (target cards with the highest Stamina) will not work if you have such cards in your team lineup.

Hathchitt:

Reduces Physical attack of all opponent cards

Cards with Hathchitt:

Level 1 onwards : Abhimanyu's Flag

Cards with Hatchitt ability reduces the physical attack of all opponent cards. This ensures lesser damage to the Stamina of your cards.
