Captain bonerender needs to either be nerfed to triggering twice a turn or a 6 drop, this card is legitimately solo winning 90% of games. Nearly every win in lobbies is pirates infinite spawn, undead infinite spawn, beasts infinite spawns, amalgam infinite spawns. A four drop that can turn you from taking 15 to dealing 15 in one turn just by playing it. Stupidest 4 drop in the game and makes 90% of lobbies unplayable as soon as someone plays it immediate second or first place.
It’s not always working well, because it’s worse than Titus if you don’t have space to spawn stuff (it only works after something spawns AND it has space to make a copy).
Though sometimes the player plays it clumsily with a full board and it still works well because they may highroll their minions that die.
I love the idea of “once or twice a combat”. Seems like a great solution.
It is nerfed no longer in tavern 4
but I dont think it won most lobbies before… mid game unit mostly, is it not?
I have to point this out whenever i see/hear it.
Take it as you may, but Bonur Ender is the key card for many winning comps.
Having possible access to it with golden rewards on tavern 3 and early paitent scouts can make a match so one sided that the lucky player feels like everyone else must be a toddler playing.
This wasn’t enough. It needs to be Tier 6 or have some other restriction. I’m only in the 7000s but he’s an absolute plague.
I know every game comes down to who high-rolls earliest and starts hitting people for 15 for 6 turns, but he makes this happen so much earlier.
Why? I don’t see how it’s better than Titus or Brann in most cases. Do I miss something?
It’s the combination. He has two tribe types so he’s in a lot more games and able to combo very easily. Titus and Brann already end games if people get them early, and this card just amplifies it.
It’s often worse than Titus, because if there’s no space it doesn’t do anything. It’s best in special boards that either leave space or get advantage of the lack of space.
Granted sometimes people highroll what dies first and have space that way, which might create the misconception it’s always good.
Bonerender, along with a couple of T1 pirates and that T2 one that buffs pirates that attack, can absolutely win you the game for free. Source: me. I’ve had the game give me those exact minions multiple times. the game was playing for me at that point. I did nothing else once I had them, other than upgrade the tavern for a better chance at a golden bonerender. Get that, and its game over unless the opponent got elemental or something equally stupid and easy to buff to insane levels of attack and health.
pretty easy to hold on to a tavern spell that gives a minion taunt.
If none of your opponents are knowledgeable enough to slap a Tunnel Blaster or two down, maybe…
If youre seriously winning games with just Scallywags, Ripsnarls and Bonr Ender your opposition is bad at the game. Like really bad.
Good for you tho
That’s assuming they get offered tunnel blaster at all. These games have been at 4000 rating. Not super high, I guess, but I am not good at the game and get handed wins when those cards drop into my lap. Its not a good feeling.
You’re talking at completely different levels. At 4k at this stage of the season nobody does anything great. I’m 6.5k and most opponents are clumsy and do mistakes even there (like me).
Haha yeah you may win an early fight like that, but not going top 4
its happened numerous times for me.
Enjoy it when you can I can tell you what happens if you try at higher rankings, you are online early so you may hit someone for 5, then 10 and 15, and when they stabalize, get online or highroll, they wipe you out as you dont scale
Do us ALL a favor and remove it from the game. It will not be missed.
Battlegrounds need a change. Luck based gameplay based in rng are trash for ranked modes. Blizzard has become lazy and only care about micro transactions. That’s the problem with bgs. It’s not fun. At all.
I mean, as long as you were able to scale your board big enough, fast enough, you could technically outpace bonerender. The problem tends to come with undead specifically where the reborn minions come back just as strong as the originals that died. Pirates were bad, but nowhere near as bad as Undead comps were.
I haven’t seen it dominate the meta now that it is a tier 5 minion, but BGs has bigger problems than Captain Bonerender IMO.
