Tips on How to use Timber as a Leader


Damage dealers rejoice! If you think damage is the best attribute in Urban Rivals, then Timber will probably be your Leader card of choice. In my opinion. this Leader card is severely underrated because it is available for your use in a lower level compared to the other Leader cards. Having said that, the Timber strategy might come off as one-note albeit a very effective one, if used properly.

Timber is definitely one of the earliest powerhouses a novice player will have his hands on. You can actually get this Leader card for free when you reach level 5 in Urban Rivals! Yes, you heard me right, for free! (Actually, all Leader cards are given for free as long as you go up in levels.)

Two-hit combo cards will benefit a lot from Timber's ability which is Team: +1 Damage. He adds 1 point of damage to all cards in your draw, including himself. He has 6/6 stats in his fifth level, which is effectively 6/7 because of his ability. With Timber in tow, some "weak" cards in the past become a lot more useful than ever. This is Timber's prime specialty. He's the "fairy godfather" (albeit a scary and gruffy one) of the neglected clan minions.

Aside from that, the ability of Timber gives an edge to the cards that your opponent usually underestimates. Mona from Montana and Zatman from Uppers are prime examples of cards that your opponents let through because of their abilities. Now if Timber is in your draw, then they would be hesitant to let these two cards deal their damage, after all they become virtually 5-damage cards instead of their original 4-damage, and in Urban-Rivals, every damage point counts.

Timber also makes a great combination with damage reducers which can act as damage-dealers. Examples of this are Uranus of the Sakrohm clan and Vermyn N of the Bangers. They are popular for their excellent damage reduction, but with Timber they become even more troublesome because not only can they reduce damage they can also dish out the damage itself! Talk about double-edged.

Returning to my previous statement, Timber is so underrated because it is a Leader card everyone can get at a low level. One thing you must remember when you play this card is to just play it as if you're using the more popular Leaders. He is bound to get underestimated after all, so when your future opponents are too condescending, show them what Timber is made of! Damage remains a big thing in this game, no matter how much new abilities are introduced. They will not know what hit them. I bet, when your opponent loses to you, he will always remember that name: Timber.
