| [[Cards/Talented Healer|Talented Healer]] + Draining cards ([[Cards/Draining Touch|Draining Touch]], [[Cards/Spear Of Darkness|Spear Of Darkness]], etc.) 
| Draining cards gain cantrip while [[Cards/Talented Healer|Talented Healer]] is in play, meaning you can land multiple draining attacks without having to pass the turn. You priest will also heal 2 additional hp per Draining card played. [[Cards/Talented Healer|Talented Healer]] procs even if the attack is blocked.

| [[Cards/Hot Spot|Hot Spot]] (or similar) + [[Cards/Telekinesis|Telekinesis]] (or similar)
| You can use control spells like [[Cards/Telekinesis|Telekinesis]] to move your opponents onto damage-dealing tiles. Conversely, you can also use control spells to save your characters from taking damage by moving them away from those same tiles.

| [[Cards/Elvish Insight|Elvish Insight]] + [[Cards/Devastating Blow|Devastating Blow]]
| [[Cards/Devastating Blow|Devastating Blow]] deals additional damage depending on the number of revealed cards in the target's hand. You can use [[Cards/Elvish Insight|Elvish Insight]] at the right time to reveal the opponent's hand, making your [[Cards/Devastating Blow|Devastating Blows]] much deadlier.

| [[Cards/Flimsy Block|Flimsy Block]]
| Although seemingly a bad card, [[Cards/Flimsy Block|Flimsy Block]] is great if you need a defense vs particularly nasty cards - like [[Cards/Winds Of War|Winds Of War]], [[Cards/Path Of Knives|Path Of Knives]] or [[Cards/Barge|Barge]] - which deal little or no damage but otherwise are very dangerous. Since most attack cards typically deal more than 2 damage, your trusty [[Cards/Flimsy Block|Flimsy Block]] will likely sit in your hand undisturbed until you need it. <br /> [https://forums.cardhunter.com/members/bearson-onyx.3845/ Bearson Onyx] comments: Also, and the main reason I'm happy with the one on my warrior, it blocks [[Cards/Short Perplexing Ray|Short Perplexing Ray]], the morale blow to the opposing player when he finds out not only did you not discard two important attack cards when you came in range but all you spent on it was a [[Cards/Flimsy Block|Flimsy Block]] is great. and now you're free to bash that poor mage away.

| [[Cards/Flight Aura|Flight Aura]] or [[Cards/Teleport Self|Teleport Self]] + [[Cards/Sprint|Sprint]] or [[Cards/Wild Run|Wild Run]]

| [[Cards/Enchanted Harness|Enchanted Harness]] + Assorted Armors
| This is extremely cool to pull paired with armors which come with added effects, as the +2 on armor rolls means those will trigger as well as absorbing damage more often: use with [[Cards/Spiked Mail|Spiked Mail]] to reflect melee damage, [[Cards/Holy Armor|Holy Armor]] for good healing and [[Cards/Inspiring Armor|Inspiring Armor]] for drawing cards.

| [[Cards/Bad Luck|Bad Luck]] + Armors you actually might not want to absorb damage
| Some cards boost your character's abilities in various ways. These often double as Armor, but lack the keep keyword. [[Cards/Arcane Aura|Arcane Aura]] and [[Cards/Frenzy Aura|Frenzy Aura]] are good examples of such cards. Using [[Cards/Bad Luck|Bad Luck]] on your own characters will help you hold those cards in your hand when targeted by enemy attacks.

| [[Cards/Martyr Blessing|Martyr Blessing]] + [[Cards/Spiked Mail|Spiked Mail]] (equipped by your opponent)
| I stumbled across this one by accident. Every time you attack you have a 50% chance of a card draw in exchange for 2hp. Add [[Cards/Reliable Hide Armor|Reliable Hide Armor]] to the mix and it becomes 1hp.

| [[Cards/Unholy Wellspring|Unholy Wellspring]] + AoE magic.
|  By the time you get Wellspring, you're pretty familiar with [[Keywords#Frenzy_X|Frenzy]] effects, so it's easy to dismiss it as just a more powerful one. Wellspring effects all damaging attacks. Little pokes like [[Cards/Ember Spray|Ember Spray]] and [[Cards/Force Cone|Force Cone]] become serious hitters, and [[Cards/Firestorm|Firestorm ]] becomes pure hell, especially when combined with burning enhancement traits. I never use the Wellspring on my melee hitters. It's always focused into an AoE of some sort.

| [[Cards/Firestorm|Firestorm]] on enemies with [[Cards/Duck|Duck]]
| They will feel compelled to throw it back at you, roasting all their friends a second time, basically giving you two [[Cards/Firestorm|firestorms]] for the cost of one.

| [[Cards/Boiling Armor|Boiling Armor]] with any zombies effected with [[Cards/Festering Guts|Festering Guts]]
| Zombies try to use [[Cards/Resistant Hide|Resistant Hides]] to prevent allied [[Cards/Festering Guts|Festering Guts]] damage, but removing that can turn them from a ticking time bomb into a huge chain reaction that wipes out the entire map in one round. It definitely helps when they're all members of a single minion group. Just make sure you've got a survivor out of harm's way, or are wearing your own [[Cards/Resistant Hide|Resistant Hide]].

| [[Cards/Unholy Wellspring|Unholy Wellspring]] on enemy AI
| There are also a couple groups of enemies, mostly in the arena battles, who have a cleric who likes to just sit there and buff nearby allies over and over (even when the allied unit is already buffed, sometimes). Since a lot of those buffs are slightly damage dealing, it's fun to hand the cleric a free [[Cards/Unholy Wellspring|Unholy Wellspring]] and watch him just pound his own allies into the ground.

| [[Cards/Pathfinding|Pathfinding]] and a deck loaded up with [[Cards/Vicious Thrust|Vicious Thrusts]] and [[Cards/Nimble Strike|Nimble Strikes]]. 
| You can't build a deck devoid of any basic moves for you to draw... but you can build a deck where you probably will draw 2 step attacks. <br />  [https://forums.cardhunter.com/members/sir-knight.14/ Sir Knight] comments: [[Cards/Pathfinding|Pathfinding]] is a replacement for the lost [[Cards/Attack Skill|Attack Skill]]. Start from a deck with Step cards on the weapons. Then you can get [[:Category:Boots|Boots]] with a single non-Step-card Move pretty easily: {{I|Good Spiked Boots}} is lovely, {{I|Light Chain Boots}} is utilitarian, and {{I|Boots Of Aggression}} has NO basic Moves (though you have to like [[Cards/Charge|Charge]] damage). Then you choose an Elf Skill with [[Cards/Pathfinding|Pathfinding]] and little else: {{I|Practiced Scouting}} is okay, while {{I|Frightened Scouting}} has NO basic Moves. {{I|Frightened Scouting}} forces you to have [[Cards/Cowardly|Cowardly]]. However, if you happen to draw [[Cards/Cowardly|Cowardly]] during a [[Cards/Pathfinding|Pathfinding]] run then you will discard it with no ill effects.

| [[Cards/Hot Spot|Hot Spot]]/[[Cards/Wall of Fire|Wall of Fire]] and [[Cards/Acrobatic Flip|Acrobatic Flip]].

| Can be prety nasty. Cast the [[Cards/Path of Knives|Path of Knives]]  on a caster, cast [[Cards/Winds of War|Winds of War]] and move him near your hitter, he takes dmg. If he runs, he takes extra dmg. If he doesnt run, he gets hit.

| If you have [[Cards/Raging Strike|Raging Strike]] in your hand and will suffer massive damage from enemy because of that - consider hitting one of your own guys with it (if you happen to have [[Cards/Inspiring Armor|Inspiring Armor]] -- double the value! :D)

| [[Cards/Reflexive Teleport|Reflexive Teleport]] with any of the priest buff/attack cards
| [[Cards/Reflexive Teleport|Reflexive Teleport]] can trigger on your own attacks, so stuff like [[Cards/Unholy Wellspring|Unholy Wellspring]] can give bit of a speed boost for your mage. Too unreliable to get out of a tough spot, but fun anyway.

| [[Cards/Healing Pulse|Healing Pulse]] with enemy block cards
| Normally I try to avoid having this card in PvE, as I feel it would often help the enemy more than me. Unfortunately, it's on {{I|Trained Healer}} on my vampire priest. I was fighting goblins in the tree fort adventure and had become surrounded by two groups of full health enemies. I used [[Cards/Healing Pulse|Healing Pulse]] to try and regain a few HP and to my surprise, saw the enemy horde empty their hands of regular and missile blocks trying to prevent the dreaded healing of their wounds.

| What I love recently in MP is a dedicated [[Cards/Smoke Bomb|Smoke Bomb]] wizard with [[Cards/Ember Burst|Ember Bursts]] as an addition to his arsenal, similarly for cones it can go through (i.e. explodes at the edge of smoke bomb and harms characters within the second row of smoke bomb), but it can be done from a safe distance
