Faction Changes Overview

Honest and straight-forward is how Baratheons act, so I’ll keep it direct and simple. There were few changes and no points adjustments. Units are performing as expected in both Loyalties. Attachments were minorly affected by General Ability Changes.

We’ve listed all the changes below by category to help you out.

General Ability Changes

• Davos Seaworth, Hero of Blackwater: Changes to Outflank.
• Eldon Estermont, Lord of Greenstone: Changes to Hardened.
• Loras Tyrell, The Knight of Flowers: Changes to Expert Duelist.
• Loras Tyrell, King’s Squire: Changes to Expert Duelist.

Specific Ability Changes

• Champions of the Stag: Morale modified from 5+ to 6+. Attack dice dropped from 7/5 to 6/4.

The Champions of the Stag are an elite, attrition Cavalry unit. As such, they have a great Defense value and many Attack Abilities. Their over-the-top stats were pushing the unit into a much more aggressive role than intended.

• R’hllor Queen’s Men: Changes to Order: Queen’s Blade.

The Queen’s Men may only draw the Baratheon Justice card now. By being able to draw both Baratheon Justice and Baratheon Conviction, they were a little too versatile.

The night is dark and full of terrors, but it only gets darker as the flames extinguish and our Visions in the Flames for now dissipate. Baratheons can confidently stick to their current battle plans.
