Top Abilities and Cards to Counter

Kark :
Attacks from any position; targets lowest Stamina card

Cards with Kark :

Level 1 onwards : Anuvind, Senavindu, Arjun, Bhadrakar

Cards with Kark ability target the lowest Stamina card from any position (except the first). Brihadbal has the lowest Stamina (1 at Level 1) and so it has a high probability of getting attacked by such cards.

Bhedak :
Destroys target's Shield instantly

Cards with Bhedak:

Level 1 onwards : Sudakshin, Chekitana, Sharasan
Level 4 : Satrajit

Cards enabled with Bhedak ability can destroy the target’s Shield instantly. This means that such cards can destroy Brihadbal’s Shield in one go if the attack is not missed.

Pushpak:
Dodges Physical and Ranged attacks

Cards with Pushpak:

Level 1 onwards : Stunkarn, Satyaki, Subahu, Shwetaki, Shishupal, Vakr, Bhimbal
Level 3 onwards : Durvigh
Level 4 onwards : Vishalaksh, Suhast
Level 5 onwards : Hidimb, Vikat, Sama, Vikarn
Level 6 onwards : Nagdatt
Level 10 : Duhsah

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

Story of Brihadbal

After killing Jarasandh, Yudhisthir wanted to perform the Rajsuya Yagna. The 4 Pandav brothers embarked on the Digvijay Yatra which is a prelude to the Yagna. Bheem went to conquer the kingdoms to the East of Indraprasth. Bheem defeated Brihadbal, the king of Kosala.

On the thirteenth day of the war, Brihadbal was one of the warriors who fought against Abhimanyu. Brihadbal struck Abhimanyu in the chest with a barbed arrow. Despite this injury, Abhimanyu managed to bring down Brihadbal’s flag, bow, and charioteer. Bereft of his charioteer, Brihadbal grasped a sword and shield, intending to sever the head of Abhimanyu. However, Abhimanyu pierced the heart of King Brihadbal with an arrow.
