Top Abilities and Cards to Counter
AstrKavach :
When attacked, Astr hits the Shield before Stamina
Cards with AstrKavach:
Level 1 onwards : Ghatotkach, Senani, Kundbhedi, Kavachi
Level 5 onwards : Kanka
Cards with AstrKavach ability protect their Stamina from the Astra attack by absorbing the hit on its Shield. Due to this, Shatadhanva’s Astr attack will damage their Shield and not affect their Stamina easily.
Mrugaya :
Targets First Astr/Ranged attack card in positions 2 - 6
Cards with Mrugaya:
Level 1 onwards : Satyaki, Uttar, Sama, Pashi, Ugravadh, Uluk
Level 3 onwards : Hans
Level 7 onwards : Vasati
Cards with Mrugaya ability will target cards with Astr/Ranged attack that are not in the First position. So, if all cards before Shatadhanva are Physical or no attack cards, then Shatadhanva will become a target of these cards.
PratiAstr :
Reflects Astr attack with reduced Astr attack (min. 1)
Cards with PratiAstr:
Level 1 onwards : Ugrasen, Senani
Level 3 onwards : Vajradatt
Level 8 onwards : Satyasandh
Cards with PratiAstr ability hit back at Astr attack cards with reduced Astr. This means, if attacked by Shatadhanva at Level 1 with an Astr attack of 1, these cards will be able to return an equal damage of 1 every time the hit is successful.
AstrBhransh :
Reduces damage from Astr attacks
Cards with AstrBhransh :
Level 1 onwards : Nakul, Ketuman, Shishupal, Chitrkundal
Level 4 onwards : Sulochan, Alayudh
Level 5 onwards : Bahlik
Shatadhanva at Level 1 does an Astr attack of 1. If it attacks cards with AstrBhransh ability, its damage will get reduced to 0.
Chapal :
Can dodge Astr attacks
Cards with Chapal:
Level 1 onwards : Jambavant, Ghatotkach, Jamvak, Jatasur, Prativindhya, Brihant
Level 3 onwards : Shishupal
Level 4 onwards : Vakr, Hiranyadhanu
Level 5 onwords : Vriddhakshatr
Cards with Chapal ability can dodge Astr attacks. This means, Shatadhanva’s attack on cards with Chapal ability has a high chance of getting missed.
