Recommended Position
2 to Second Last position
Why?
If placed at position 1:
- It has low stamina and will retire soon
- Varah ability is not effective at position 1 because cards at position 1 attack opponent cards at position 1 only
If placed at last position:
- It has low stamina and will retire soon
- It has low Stamina and needs protection from cards like Vikat, Shalya, Bhurishrava & Dushpradharshan which have Ghatak ability that enables them to attack the card at the last position.

Reduces damage from Physical and Ranged attacks
Cards with ShastrBhransh:
Level 1 onwards : Hidimb, Virbahu, Vajradatt, Bhagdatt
Level 3 onwards : Yudhishthir, Satva
Level 5 onwards : Alambush
Dirghabahu at Level 1 has a Physical attack of 2. This means if it attacks cards with ShastrBhransh ability, the damage will get reduced to 1.

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. Dirghabahu’s attack on cards with Pushpak ability 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 4 onwards : Jalasandh, Jatasur
Level 5 onwards : Vajradatt, Satva
Level 6 onwards : Suhast
Cards with Katar ability hit back at Physical attack cards with reduced Physical attack. This means, if attacked by Dirghabahu (at Level 2) with a Physical attack of 2, these cards will be able to return a 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
Level 9 onwards : Somkirti
Cards with Chumbak ability are attacked first by the opponent’s team. Due to this the Dirghabahu will attack cards with Chumbak.
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, and it attacks from any position. Dirghabahu has low Stamina and so it has a higher probability of getting attacked by cards with the Kark ability.
Hathchitt:
Reduces Physical attack of all opponent cards
Cards with Hathchitt:
Level 1 onwards : Abhimanyu's Flag
Level 3 onwards : Kundodhar, Durdarsh
Cards with Hatchitt ability reduces the physical attack of all opponent cards. This ensures lesser damage to the Stamina of your cards. Impact of Dirghabhu (from Level 2) will reduce if opponent has a card with Hathchitt
Strengths:
Dirghabahu is a tactical sniper card, ideal for targeting the strongest opponent. Varah ensures he always aims at the card with the highest Stamina, potentially disrupting enemy tanks or support units early. With AstraKavach, he gains added protection against Astr-based attacks, absorbing them with his Shield before his fragile Stamina is touched.
Weaknesses:
With only 1 point of Stamina and low Speed, Dirghabahu is extremely fragile and vulnerable to Physical or Ranged attacks that bypass or outpace his defenses.
He needs shielding or supportive positioning to stay effective on the field.
Aura: 3
