Return Zapp Slywick in battlegrounds to counter sky pirate

Exactly what the topic says. Every other lobby has someone with the infinite, or close to infinite, sky pirate build. There is nothing to counter that late game currently. Please add Zapp back in to make the end game at least have a random off chance of victory.

I haven’t really seen much of that build because it’s pretty wonky if you don’t get all the parts. It’s also pretty weak to basic stats.

What ranking band are you that you see it so much?

I wouldnt say there are NO ways to counter it, Interrogator Whitemane exists and can hit either Eliza and Rivendare. Cleave is also pretty effective.

Zapp was removed specifically because it was a useless card to countering most builds. It was a good card when the key high tier drops had difficult ways to get buffed. They frequently now become part of the builds and scale along with the rest of the board. Pirates are very good in specific lobbies and go nowhere in others. The trick is identifying which lobby to play pirates into the late game.

7K. I’ve just started to notice the uptick in the build over the last few days. Good call on Whitemane, I forgot about that card when making this post. More random than Zapp and then also heavily relies on a cleave unit to lead your board but yes, you are right.
