Who uses Leviathan???

TheHobbit13 · « **Reply #1 on:** May 25, 2008, 10:58:50 PM »

I do. great stand alone character! Hard to target

The Guardian · « **Reply #2 on:** May 25, 2008, 11:22:52 PM »

If I'm playing Crimson defense I use him for sure. If I'm playing stand-alones, I use him sometimes.

Gotta love the Fishy! I like to "Lurk" him in.

sepjazzwarrior · « **Reply #4 on:** May 26, 2008, 03:57:50 AM »

He's great for an opening block, otherwise I've never really found him that useful.

leviathan + UN, banding in a btn character is farley useful.

sepjazzwarrior · « **Reply #6 on:** May 26, 2008, 01:01:31 PM »

yeah but you could do that with any other character with big numbers, like either of the bablyonian kings.

Leviathan + Midianite Attack is tough to beat

Pretty easy for any CBN hero, and there's one for almost every brigade. (ie. Michael, Joshua the HP, Amariah, Benjamin, Thomas, Ibzan, and to a limited extent Asaph)

Or you could use just about any GC and would have initiative to play any of a whole bunch of CBN enhancements.

And that assuming that you can block with Leviathan to begin with, which you couldn't against Widow or Zebulun ~~or 3 Nails~~.

I don't think Leviathan is worth putting in almost any deck.

Leviathan is not a demon (nor is he a human). Hence, Three Nails will have no effect on him.

Leviathan is worth putting in any deck that uses a Crimson defense if there is the possibility you will face a BTN hero. Or if you might face a hero who specifically targets humans/demons.

All excellent points (except 3 Nails, I don't think that works against Leviathan). Excellent points that could be made in arguing against including KoT as well. Of Course, KoT doesn't work with Holy of Holies active either. Not to mention that Leviathan is neither demon nor human, making him more difficult to target than KoT (i.e., A Child is Born). Leviathan, like all evil characters, can be beaten, but I still think he rocks. That said, he probably wouldn't be my first choice to block Joshua the HP.

Edit: I type too slow.

Thanks for the catch on 3 Nails, I corrected my mistake.

As for stopping a BTN hero, crimson has better options.
King Merodach-baladan - 10/11 and yet still gets to play first (sometimes) against smaller GCs
King Evil-merodach - 8/11 and also protects your ECs in your territory from everything
Nebuzaradan - 9/10 and some enhs are CBN on him which is best of all against BTN

All these guys are protected by a fortress, and they are all WC which means that they can hold enhs that gives them bigger defense than Leviathan to begin with. And who wants to put more than 3 big guys in a defense? You need room for the little and medium guys too. There's just no room for Leviathan.

Just about anything is easy with a CNB hero and any CBN enhacement.

CBN heroes "own" these evil character also

I think it would be in your best interest to include it in any crimson defense, i would take out Nebuzaradan, not much CBN when played on him (nothing really uuber useful) plus leviathan is better than all those when TSA is comming in for the first RA of the game. But it is all up to you really. Plus it is a FISH!!!!

And IMO the coolest character in the game (my personal favorite).

stephengamble · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2008, 11:25:32 AM »

I use him pretty often in decks I often use him and use un to pull out jobs wife.

Kor · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2008, 03:20:06 AM »

I use leviathan.

He's one of my favorites, and I yearn for the day when someone tries to play ship to cyprus when I block with him.

Back on topic Leviathan has the largest numbers in the game as a character, and is also one of the hardest to target which is a good combination. It allows him to fight BTN, and crimson has the nice enhancement Midianite Attack, as well as fallen angels which can band to him. As for being hard to target, his big numbers usually mean they play first,

so narrowing down the selection of cards that can be used to defeat him is seen quite often.

Hey,

I wasn't sold on Leviathan for years, until I started using it. I've been surprised by how useful he is. He's great to have early in a game against a stand alone or by the number character. And he's ideal to have late in the game when most if not all of your opponents battle winners are used up. He just somehow always ends up really hard to kill.

Yes?

I mean he's not the only 12/12 but there isn't anything higher than that, at least nothing I am aware of.

Haha, I agree.

Just wish they'd made the art for him be of a sea serpent/dragon instead of a big fish though.

Maybe they will when he is reprinted whenever patties run out. Yeah, but no one knows what he was all they know is Hook=fish =jonah got swallowed by levi
