How Is Blackmail Used?

This card is used mainly to dish out massive amounts of damage. It’s also used to rid the user of debuffs and transfer them to the enemy Axie.

It’s especially useful against Beasts, Mechs, and Bugs because of their natural disadvantage against Birds. It’s also great against teams with lots of debuffs, because you can use their weapons against them.

What Kind of Axies/Teams Use Blackmail?

Most of the Axies that use this card are damage-dealer Bird Axies. Eggbomb is a great card to pair with Blackmail, especially because it turns the debuff Aroma from a double-edged sword, to a deadly blade.

Pairing those two cards with Dark Swoop creates a devastating combo that lets your entire team focus a single Axie.

Pros and Cons of the Blackmail Card
