Master Nguyen
Identity: A decision-heavy hero who chooses between two new Hero Powers each turn, switching among economy, board strength, and resources as the game demands.
Profile
- Trait: The passive Hero Power “Power of the Storm” offers two new Hero Powers at the start of every turn. His exclusive Buddy, “Lei Flamepaw,” is a Tier 4 4/6 that gets the Buddy of the current Hero Power at the start of the turn; the Golden version gets 2 copies.
Playstyle
- Early game: Review both Hero Powers before committing to purchases, leveling, or sells. Early choices usually favor Gold, extra minions, or direct board strength; avoid disrupting a sound curve for an effect that looks exciting but has no immediate purpose.
- Key turns: The best option changes when leveling, searching for a core piece, or protecting Health. Define the turn's objective first, select the Hero Power that solves it, and sequence Discover, Refresh, and purchase effects before spending resources.
- Mid to late game: With Lei Flamepaw, evaluate both the Hero Power and the Buddy it represents. A modest immediate effect may still be correct when its Buddy supplies economy, tempo, or a missing component; Golden Lei Flamepaw magnifies that secondary payoff.
Strengths
- A fresh choice every turn provides flexible answers to the Tavern, opponents, and the current state of the composition.
- Lei Flamepaw converts Hero Power choices into additional Buddy resources, broadening the available effects and combination ceiling.
Weaknesses
- The two choices are random, so Nguyen cannot rely on receiving the same kind of economy or scaling effect on consecutive turns.
- Strong play requires knowledge of many Hero Powers and Buddies plus precise sequencing; a poor choice can waste most of the hero's advantage for that turn.
Buddy
At the start of your turn, get the **Buddy** of your Heror Power.
