The Book of Hawk
Champion of the Cloaks - Reinforcements 2: Hawk's Strike

http://www.summonerwars.com/Hawk.jpg

Bio: So called for his faithful companion Leonardo, the man dubbed Hawk gave the Cloaks their name. For years the Benders referred to the shadowy band of rebels as turn cloaks, but Hawk said the name Cloaks was far more apt, given their habit of launching hit-and-run strikes under cover of darkness.

This ability kinda makes him like a CG slinger

[Shockma Ranyk]

No it doesn't. I don't follow, why is it like a CG Slinger?

Oh, his ability does the same thing as a CG Slinger attack, but its any common within three spaces, not three straight line spaces.

[chardris77]

Kinda, I guess, but he can still attack normally after that.

[bmwrider]

I underlined lined the kinda for a reason, its better than the slinger of course, just a simple observation.

[Jexik]

It's more like a a common-only Plague, carried by a bird. Movement phase damage which Vlox can copy is powerful, especially since it can go around walls and Units.

Common Bird Flu.

It's like the CG slinger because the bird is actually throwing rocks at the target.

Wait... Aerial Strike only affects commons?! Ay ay ay. Looks like Violet's going to take her place back.

It's weird, it almost feels as if the Cloaks didn't really need their reinforcements. Slashers are superior to Gunners, but aside from that my deck is going to remain mostly the same.

Although AStrike only hit common, the fact that it can potentially kill off unit that blocks your ways is a huge benefit to CL's game... Move Hawk first, kill something that blocks your way, then move the rest of other stuff after the path is clear... strong

Combine Hawk, Vlox, and with Assassinate, enemy has very tough time to hide behind units and cannot predict where your CL unit will go, it's already very hard to predict against Cloaks, Hawk makes it even harder

Hawk is getting better and better each game, he is going to surpass Scam soon in my book :cool:

I used him and did not kill a single thing the whole game, I am going to have to write that off though due to ultra bad rolls.
Its seems like a good set up, getting a free attack even though its 50% to hit.

I don't like him yet but I'm sure he will grow on me.

I don't feel slashers really even compare to gunners.

The Admiral takes umbrage at that statement...

I agree - Slashers seem like the last common I care about having in the deck. That ability is cool when it goes off, but 1/6 of the time isn't all that fantastic. 0 cost is cool, but I'd rather pay 1 for an ability that Vlox can get more mileage out of, or just play Thieves for 0.

I don't think I'd ever play without at least a couple Gunners in my draw pile. I don't know how many times I've gotten the enemy summoner down to 1 life and just dropped a Gunner to sneak around (or have Vlox do it) for the win.

But, since this thread is about Hawk.... I really like him even though Aerial Strike only hits commons, especially since Vlox can copy it. I can just envision Hawk striking down an enemy common during the movement phase, which allows a Thief to get to the back and Steal. That's just one example of the shenanigans that movement-phase damage can pull off.

[esper88]

By superior I meant that Gunners were always dead weight in my deck (because of my wonderfully unique playstyle which no one seems to share) and Slashers are a welcome upgrade as a support unit.

Hawk!

[Sauam]

Slasher need to be in their own deck, gunner still better in general though.

A heavy slasher/thief with admiral + Violet deck is one scary deck! Pure offensive cloak ftw!
