None of the dwarfen main characters are scoiatael, most of them actually fight against them if I remember correctly. | ||

Most of them oppose Nilfgaard and Nilfgaard is using Scoia'tael extensively as their allies. | ||

By the way, what do you guys think about the new MMR system? Alot of people complain because they don't gain MMR anymore. I am around 3,5k and I gained 47 points for a win yesterday, today I got (and lost) like ~20-25 points per match which I am actually fine with because this way the MMR isn't that swingy. Don't really know how it exactly works now though. | ||

The only difference is that it is now more of a grind to reach the ranks above 14, but Rethaz already said they may adjust the rank thresholds. For my ranked games yesterday I earned +20 for all my wins, which is less than before, but I imagine I will also lose less points when I lose a game | ||

I climbed quite a bit with Axemen, now I play an Eredin weather deck which I enjoy quite a bit. The hounds are really good but I hope they'll make the other wild hunt units viable with the next patch. | ||

Do you guys have any good decks that work well against SK? It just seems so versatile without any real weaknesses at the moment. | ||

It feels like there's no other factions but SK on the ladder, and with a whole variety of decks, bears and Hjalmar being a common theme. Do you guys have any good decks that work well against SK? It just seems so versatile without any real weaknesses at the moment. I heard NG decks with letho (and occasionally dbomb) are pretty good vs Sk (but shit against everything else). Havent tried it myself though. Watch megamogwai or adamnadrac on twitch, they play it sometimes. I personally feel that weather can be quite potent because they dont have a row clear. Northern Realms is also said to be good vs certain SK variants. (cause of armor) But in general the best way to deal with SK ist to play SK yourself I guess^^ | ||

With Dwarves I do decent vs King Bran Axemen weather decks, but I think I only go 50/50 vs An Craite Mork decks. I don't think there is a deck that does well vs ALL SK archtypes. Basically my deck runs 3 x First Light which is great vs that Axemen Frost deck, but An Craite runs 0 weather effects so I have some semi-useless cards in my deck vs them. | ||

So I'm pretty confident there's not a single deck out there that does well vs SK, otherwise ppl would be playing it there | ||

I run revive instead of Igni, because being able to play Ithlinne or Zoltan twice is really strong, especially if you use zoltan on Olgierd as he increases base strength. Also Igni sometimes ends up being a dead draw. I also run Ida Emaen in place of Cleaver as she gives an additional clear skies and fog, which is really good against both SK and Monsters. I also have shackles in place of 1 elven mercenary. I found 2 to sometimes mess up your last round draws and shackles are really good in this meta against bears, axemen and cards like Succubus, Hjalmar and occasional Kambi. After playing this deck for a while I don't think it has any major weaknesses. I have positive winrate against all factions except NG (50%), because of multiple locks + Letho and ST spell control (40%), but I rarely see them. | ||

At 3k+ MMR, 50% of the players use Crach an Craite or King Bran Only 5 leaders have above 50% winrate at 3K+ MMR, unsurprisingly they are all from the Monsters/Skellige faction. Time to roll that patch out boys. Hoping for a Monday Dev stream that announces the changes but they haven't mentioned it yet.. | ||
