When designing minion cards, we make sure all are balanced based on their rarity, costs, health and countless prototyping sessions. The goal is to make sure each card has a purpose and is not too powerful or too weak. Currently In our Dark Fire minion list, Fire Imp is one of the weakest minions and Eldjötnar is the strongest.
Eldjötnar is so strong, that we made him one of the rarest cards; the level of Epic. He has five life points, six attack and three defense. Not only is it going to hurt when he hits you, but you will suffer from his passive ability Burn 2/2 (two points of damage for two turns). Eldjötnar will cost you eight attack dice to play and you can only play one at a time, unlike other minions.
The Eldjötnar is based off of the Norse Mythology creatures known as the jötunn, which roughly translates to giants. The eldjötnar are a specific class of jötunn ruled by Surtr, the black one. They are known as the fire jötunn and their role in Ragnarok is to kill the gods, bringing fire and destruction to the world. It is said they live in Muspelheim, the realm of fire, which is one of nine worlds. The lore of this mythical beast makes it a perfect minion for the Dark Fire deck. It’s destiny is to destroy the world and It's sheer size is intimidating to other players.
