Recommended Position
Second to Sixth (Last)
Why?
If kept in the First position:
- Durdarsh might retire early due to moderate Stamina and no Shield
- Advantage of Santh and Hathchitt ability would be lost early in the battle
Top Abilities and Cards to Counter
AstrKavach :
When attacked, Astr hits the Shield before Stamina
Cards with AstrKavach:
Level 1 onwards : Ghatotkach, Senani, Kundbhedi
Cards with AstrKavach ability protect their Stamina and absorb successful Astr attacks on their Shield. Due to this, Durdarsh’s attack will hit their Shield and not affect the Stamina easily.
Mrugaya :
Targets First Astr/Ranged attack card in positions 2 - 6
Cards with Mrugaya:
Level 1 onwards : Satyaki, Uttar, Sama, Pashi, Ugravadh
Level 7 onwards : Vasati
Cards with Mrugaya ability will target cards with Astr/Ranged attack that are not in First position. If all cards before Durdarsh are Physical/No attack cards, then Durdarsh will become an easy target for such cards.
PratiAstr :
Reflects Astr attack with reduced Astr attack (min. 1)
Cards with PratiAstr:
Level 1 onwards : Ugrasen, Senani
Level 3 onwards : Vajradatt
Level 8 onwards : Satyasandh
Cards with PratiAstr ability hit back at Astr attack cards with reduced Astr. This means, if attacked by Durdarsh (at Level 1) with an Astr attack of 3, these cards will be able to return damage of 2 every time the hit is successful.
AstrBhransh :
Reduces damage from Astr attacks
Cards with AstrBhransh :
Level 1 onwards : Nakul, Shwetketu, Shishupal
Level 5 onwards : Bahlik, Alayudh
Durdarsh at Level 1 does an Astr attack of 3. If it attacks cards with AstrBhransh ability, the damage will get reduced to 2.
Chapal :
Can dodge Astr attacks
Cards with Chapal:
Level 1 onwards : Jambavant, Ghatotkach, Jamvak, Jatasur
Level 2 onwards : Vasati
Level 3 onwards : Shishupal
Level 4 onwards : Vakr
Level 5 onwords : Vriddhakshatr
Cards with Chapal ability can dodge Astr attacks. This means Durdarsh’s attack on such cards has a high chance of getting missed.
Varah :
Attacks from anywhere; targets highest Stamina card
Cards with Varah :
Level 1 onwards : Balvardhan, Sharasan
Level 3 onwards : Urnanabh
This means that such cards can be used to counter high Stamina cards like Durdarsh placed anywhere in the lineup.
