Armageddon is a Morti 5 star hero. His skill (Reanimate) is to resurrect enemy creatures from the graveyard to fight for you. Armageddon shards can be bought from the Ore Mall.

Reanimate permanently removes a creature from the enemy ranks. This makes Armageddon very useful for clearing Explorer Maps and fighting in Gauntlet.

Here are some good strategies that you can use in an Armageddon deck.

Talents:

Deathless (casts Rebirth for all your creatures on the board) is a must have talent. It activates when there are three or more Morti on the board.

If you have a purely Morti deck, deathless will be cast as soon as you have played 3 cards, and cast again the next round when you have atmost 4 cards on board.

It is better to have Deathless cast on as many creatures as possible. A mixed faction deck is better for making maximum use of deathless. The advantage is that, by the time you have 3 morti cards on the board,  there would usually be 6-7 cards in total (the rest belonging to other factions). Deathless will be cast on all creatures on the board.

Deathless has '70%' chance to rebirth. However when Deathless is cast a second time, your creatures effectively gain 91% chance of rebirth. (Chance of not rebirthing from two casts of deathless is 30% x 30% =  9%). It is a very good talent to have.

Cripple reduces enemy attack. This helps the survival of your first played cards and assist in casting Deathless to maximum creatures. Quite a good complementary skill.

Cull kills all enemies with less than 30% health. Some people prefer this over Cripple. You cannot cull a creature and resurrect it the same turn, because cull is cast after the hero skill is activated. This reduces the usefulness of this talent.

Deck Composition

1. Disposal and Instakill cards

For Armageddon to be able to use his skill, you need to have a dead creature in the enemy graveyard first. What if the enemy has recyclers on the board who keeps on emptying their graveyard?

That is where Disposal comes into picture. Play a disposal card when Armageddons rage is full and the disposed card will be reanimated! You could even wait a few turns with the rage bar full, until you find a desirable creature in the enemy deck to be disposed and resurrected.

Instakill also works fine, but you dont have the control to target a specific creature as with disposal. Instakill kills randomly.

Some good creatures to meld disposal on are Hell Wolf, Harbinger, Royal Dragon, Undying will, Demonic Templar.

2. Recycle cards

For recycle I usually recommend only 'Recycle Horned Beast'. With Armageddon however, Harbinger is also a good substitute. Harbinger can trigger undying if played too early in automatic battles, and can have an effective 96% chance to return again.

In tournaments you have to field 3 decks. If you are short of recycling creatures for three decks, you could rely on undying in your Armageddon deck.

3. Kill during the enemy turn

Where Armageddon shines most is manual battles (explorers gate and gauntlet), where you can whittle away the enemy deck through reanimation.

But what if the enemy has multiple recycles, revives and immunity (Immunity counters Disposal and Instakill. That is how it is later in the explorer maps).

Any creature doing damage during the enemies turn is good with Armageddon.

I'd recommend to get 'Killer Queen' from guild map 6. She casts 'Guilt' from which creatures take damage after they attack. Sooner or later an enemy creature is bound to be in the graveyard after the enemy's turn and you will add it to your deck through reanimation.

I went all the way from map 12 to 14 using Armageddon and Killer Queen Combo. Another creature that can cut through immunity is Flame Summoner (available in the guild mall.)

What level is good for Armageddon?

The strength of Armageddon is in nicking a creature from the enemy. For that, level 1 is powerful enough. Don't spend ore trying to upgrade him. Save your ore to upgrade Oceanus or Vile Songstress.

The Bond Audition.

We will finish with a shabby joke about the Ore Mall heroes.

The three Ore Mall heroes - Armageddon, Blademaster and Oceanus - were attending an audition for the next role of James Bond. They were asked to introduce themselves.

Arma : "Gedon. Arma Gedon"
Blade : "Master. Blade Master"
Oce : "I hate this game!"
