Share Your Battle: Countess Sinash

Edited in Canva Pro.

I wanted to try and see if this legendary card will be good. I'm curious as to why her market price is cheap right now on the level of Djinn Oshannus.

I also don't see players use this card so I wonder if she's really bad or just an undervalued card.

Lore Summary

Born from a noble family, she was bitten and became a vampire on her 25th birthday. She also learned some of her family's hidden ceremony: a ritual to summon demons. A very mystical being who's greed for power knows no bounds. Countess Sinash is as heartless as one can think and she would do anything to unlock her demonic powers alongside her vampiric abilities.

Market Price Buy

𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.

For a legendary card, Countess Sinash is actually quite cheap. For $2.40, you can get your own Countess Sinash. The reason for this low price is quite clear. Among all summoners for the Fire element, the only compatible one with Countess Sinash is Yodin Zaku, probably the best summoner in the game with high rental and purchase cost.

This, unfortunately, puts Countess Sinash in an awkward position on Fire element which results in the decrease of her usage as well as her market price.

𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.

For $42, a Gold Countess Sinash can be purchased. But as stated above, unless a better summoner is released for Fire element that will benefit Countess Sinash, then her market price will still be one of the lowest among legendary cards.

Market Price Rent

𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.

The only good time you rent Countess Sinash is on max level since Blast ability is unlocked. This makes her self reliant regardless if you don't have a good summoner to partner her with.

Her rental price for max level is 50 DEC which is cheap for a max level legendary in my opinion. If you have the current league division and summoner allowing you to play a max level Countess Sinash, I suggest you rent her as she's strong when these requirements are met.

Rental a Gold Countess Sinash is not efficient in my opinion. Unless you're renting her for power, it's not efficient to rent her gold or regular versions as she's on the weird spot for Fire elements.

Stats

𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.

Countess Sinash's stats are quite decent for an 8 mana cost monster. Even if her damage and speed is high, her health is only 4 making it deadly to use. However, this weakness is covered by her Camouflage ability making it even.

---

Abilities

At level 1, Opportunity and Camouflage is unlocked. Opportunity allows Countess Sinash to target the lowest health monsters first. This is useful for eliminating monsters at the back since normally, you put higher health monsters at the front.

Camouflage is also good for Countess Sinash. Despite having 8 mana cost, her health is low and she can die in a couple of turns. Camouflage eliminates her as a target until she is on the 1st position allowing her to deal damage througout the battle.

---

At level 2, Swiftness is unlocked. Swiftness increases all allied monster's speed by 1, Speed is important as they increases the chance of opponent missing as well as determining who attacks first. Even if your opponent's monster is strong, if all your monsters attack first, the opponent's overall damage should go down by killing the back line monsters first.

---

At level 3, Affliction is unlocked. Affliction is good against heal and tank heal heavy teams. However, in Countess Sinash's situation, Affliction is not as useful due to 2 main reasons. First, she has opportunity ability which targets the lowest health monsters first, and most of the time, the tank monster is the one with the highest health. Second, Tank heal ability only heals monsters in the 1st position. Unless the tank is super low, Countess Sinash would not likely to target it making this Affliction useless in my opinion.

---

At level 4, Blast is unlocked. Blast ability deals half of the initial damage to the monsters around the initial target. This ability is really good when combined with target altering abilities such as Scattershot and Opportunity.

Normally, the lowest health monster is placed in the middle part for protection against attacks from the front and back. Opportunity combined with Blast is perfect for these situations as they get to damage at least 3 monsters per turn.

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 Countess Sinash? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

I like Countess Sinash because of the combinations of her abilities. I am a fan of Opportunity and I think it's one of the strongest abilities in the game. This is because it's one of the abilities that can reach the middle part of the line up which is really hard to defend against.

Her high speed, damage, combined abilities of Opportunity and Blast, she's quite deadly for any opponents unless they lock in a taunt-centered team like what I do with The Kraken.

ᒪIᑎEᑌᑭ

Summoner: Pyre: Gives

This allows them to attack first or dodge opponent's melee and range attack better.

1. Exploding Rats: Low health monster with

   Blast
   ability. This is one of those special situations. Since the current rule of combat allows him to gain good amount of health, using low health monsters in the front line is a good idea.

2. Living Lava: Has

   Shield
   ability that halves all melee and range opponent attacks. Placed second in case Exploding Rats die.

3. Tenyii Striker: A balanced monster with

   Sneak ability
   allowing him to attack from any position as a melee monster.

4. Serpentine Spy: A 3 mana cost monster with

   Opportunity
   ability to strike from any position.

5. Uraeus: A melee monster with Sneak ability to attack from any position.

6. Countess Sinash: High damage low health monster with range attack and Opportunity ability to prioritize low health monsters. Her low health is protected by

   Camouflage ability
   allowing her to only be targeted once in first position.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes and no. The strategy worked but Countess Sinash, unfortunately is not a big part of it. The strategy probably still worked even if Countess Sinash is not part of the team.

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

I really wanted to try Countess Sinash + Yodin Zaku. The problem is Yodin Zaku costs too much to be rented for 2 days. However, in theory, they make a good team as Countess Sinash benefits from Yodin Zaku's extra range damage. Furthermore, a combination of Blast and Opportunity abilities are one of the best combos in the game. This is because unlike Sneak ability, Opportunity has a chance of targetting someone in the middle of the line up, which allows you to maximize Blast ability being able to target 3 monsters at once.

If I do have extra funds and if Yodin's rental went down a bit, I will try Yodin Sinash combo and post it in the future.
