The Bolthound is a Technology card that appears in Act II and Act III of Inscryption.
Variants[]
The Bonehound is an Undead variant of the Bolthound that appears in Act II and the first part of the Finale.
Bolthound itself is a variant of the Beast card Bloodhound, which appears in Act I and Act II.
Strategy[]
All variants of the Bloodhound are mostly defensive cards. Whenever the opponent plays a card, they will change lanes to block the incoming attack. They cannot move if something is already opposing the card played. This can make them difficult to use, especially if they move to oppose a card that is capable of defeating them. They are also difficult to play, most of the time, due to their high costs.
Almost any buff from Act III works well on Bolthound and should be considered. If possible, give it Sigils such as Nano Armor or Stinky to improve its survivability. Applying a Transformation improves the card when it retaliates an opponent. Given the cards expensive cost, you might be able to get away with Overclocking it, but do consider if it is worthwhile against the risk of losing it. Gemmification, along with Blue and/or Green Mox buffing, is ideal to making the card easier to play while also performing its intended role better.
Trivia[]
- Bolthound is the only Bloodhound variant (including Bloodhound itself) to have 2 health instead of 3.
