How to beat Nibbit

  • Strength every third turn per Nibbit is the only thing that grows, so kill one quickly rather than spreading damage.
  • HP: 42 to 46 (44 to 48 at Ascension 8+). Block only comes from Slice, so a focused two turns usually does it.
  • Order: the back Nibbit hisses first, so its Butt on turn two arrives at 14 (16). Block against that one if your deck cannot kill either in two turns.
  • Hiss turns are free turns for you, so time big attacks on the Nibbit that is buffing.

Notes

  • A Lone Nibbit is a weak Overgrowth encounter; A Pair of Nibbits is a normal one with a front and a back slot.
  • The alone and front flags are set by the encounter, not by the creature, and only decide the first move.
  • Slice does not appear in the compendium's move list.
  • Slice's Block scales at Ascension 8 and Hiss's Strength at Ascension 9.
