Sunstriders is a Tier 1 (Tokenslot Orb Fire) Icon UnitUnit of the Fire faction. This common card was released with the Twilight Edition and has no affinity variants, nor a promo version.
In Skylords Reborn this card is available to all players as a starter card.

This card has been changed already, compared to its original appearance in BattleForge.

Boasting the highest single target damage output of the early archers, the Sunstriders are an immense offensive force. Furthermore, their capacity to suppress enemy buildings grants them a special tactical advantage.

Notes & Strategies

Sunstriders are powerful and cheap, but easily killed in battle. A common staple in most fire decks, and very useful if they are protected from harm. Their ability to suppress enemy structures provides extra viability outside of tier one, and can aid in pushing enemy camps with minimal cost. Sunstriders pair strongly with Thugs Card Icon Thugs and Scavenger Card Icon Scavenger.

Basic Info[]

Sunstriders can be found on Battlegrounds in the fire preset. They are powerful archers with the unique ability to disable your towers and other buildings at range with Suppressive Fire. The threat they pose to you in combat is relatively minor but they are still an archer worth considering a threat.

Abilities[]

Bow Attack
Card Icon Autocast Autocast: Every 2,5 seconds, unit fires arrows at enemies that deal 11 damage.
Suppression Fire
Card Icon Autocast Autocast: Every 20 seconds, unit can disable enemy building's attacks and special abilities for 15 seconds.

Tips & Strategies[]

While their performance as an archer is not quite as grand as some other factions, their ability to suppress towers allows them to counter the tower pull strategy that can ease the initial push. Engaging solely with units, preferably small ones is the way to go.

Trivia[]

Non-Player Sunstriders share the same stats as upgraded Sunstriders Card Icon Sunstriders.
