Shalya

Recommended Position

Second to Fifth (Second Last)

Why?

• If placed at First position:
  • It has low stamina and will retire soon
  • Ghatak ability is not effective at first position. This is because cards at first position attack opponent cards at first position only

• If placed at 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, Bhurishrav, Dushpradharshan.

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

For example, Shalya at Level 1 does damage of 2. When coupled with any of the above cards, Shankhnaad increases the amount of damage Shalya can do to opponent cards

Top Abilities and Cards to Counter

ShastrBhransh:

Reduces the damage from Physical and Ranged attacks

Cards with ShastrBhransh:

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

For example, Shalya at Level 1 does a damage of 2. If it attacks cards with ShastrBhransh ability, the damage will be reduced to 1.

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, Shalya will deviate from targeting the last card.

Hathchitt:

Decreases Physical attack of opponent cards

Cards with Hathchitt:

Level 1 onwards : Abhimanyu's Flag

Cards with Hathchitt ability reduce the Physical attack of all opponent cards. This ensures lesser damage to your last cards from Shalya’s attacks.

Kark :

Attacks from any position; targets lowest Stamina card

Cards with Kark :

Level 1 onwards : Anuvind, Senavindu, Arjun

Cards with Kark ability target the lowest Stamina card from any position. Shalya has low Stamina and so it has a higher probability of getting attacked by cards with Kark ability.

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. Shalya’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 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 Shalya 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.
