What Ornn Rewards

Fire Below the Mountain · printed ability

“: [Reaction] — [Add] 1 Power. Use only to play gear or use gear abilities. (Abilities that add resources can't be reacted to.)”

Ornn rewards resource timing; the Legend ability changes how confidently you can pay for your strongest turns.

How it plays

The Game Plan

Ornn is a gear specialist. His Reaction power does not help units or spells; it is there to sneak Equipment into play or activate gear abilities when opponents think you are out of resources.

Strengths

  • Unreactable gear resource
  • Strong Equipment timing
  • Rewards gear-heavy construction

Watch Outs

  • Resource is restricted to gear
  • Weak without enough Equipment
  • Can be slow if gear lacks carriers

Turn by Turn

  1. 1Early: play units that will carry gear before spending Ornn's resource.
  2. 2Midgame: use the gear-only power to play or activate Equipment at the most awkward timing for the opponent.
  3. 3Late: keep gear relevant by moving from setup into protected scoring threats.

New to this Legend? Pick Ornn if you want a deck where Equipment timing is the main skill test.
