Shakuni

Recommended Position

Third to Fifth (Second Last)

Why?

If placed at :

• First position: Ranged attack will not work
• Second position: If a card at First position retires early, then Shakuni will not be able to attack

If placed in Last position :

• It has low Stamina and needs protection from cards which have Ghatak ability that enables them to attack the card at the Last Position. Cards with Ghatak ability are Vikat, Bhurishrava, Dushpradharshan, Shalya.

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, Dhritvarma, Kshemankar, Vishok

Cards with Kark ability target the lowest Stamina card and can attack from any position. Shakuni has low Stamina and is at a greater risk of getting attacked by such cards.

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. This means, Shakuni’s attack on cards with Pushpak ability has a high chance of getting missed.

Mrugaya :

Targets First Astr/Ranged attack card in positions 2 - 6

Cards with Mrugaya:

Level 1 onwards : Satyaki, Uttar, Sama, Pashi, Ugravadh, Uluk
Level 3 onwards : Hans
Level 7 onwards : Vasati

Cards with Mrugaya ability will target cards with Astr/Ranged attack and are not placed in the first position. If all cards before Shakuni are Physical attack cards, then Shakuni will be targeted by Mrugaya ability cards.

ShastrBhransh:

Reduces damage from Physical and Ranged attacks

Cards with ShastrBhransh:

Level 1 onwards : Hidimb, Virbahu, Vajradatt, Bhagdatt
Level 3 onwards : Yudhishthir, Satva, Kavachi, Susthar
Level 5 onwards : Alambush, Chitraban

Shakuni at Level 1 does a Ranged attack of 1. If it attacks cards with ShastrBhransh ability, the damage will be reduced to 0.
