Miss Lulabee

Story:
Encouraged by her clan, Lulabee decided to enter the Miss Clint City 2008 Contest, not so much to win as to spread her message to as many people as possible. But after the bikini round, an impressive juggling number and an impassioned speech on the environment, the judges were unanimous in declaring her the winner.

Stats:
Level: 5
Power: 7
Damage: 5
Ability: -2 Opp Power, Min 5

Review:
Yesterday, I forgot to make a card review, just like how there were no Miss Clint City 2009. So today I present Miss Clint City 2008, Miss Lulabee.

She is quite good, but again overshadowed by the original Lulabee, as SOB is better than power reduction.

Miss Jessie

Story:
Beauty contests aren't really her thing but after one particularly alcohol-fuelled evening with Robb and Loma Noju, Jessie found herself standing as a contestant for Miss Clint City. Determined not to let down her clan, she followed Ashley's beauty tips to the letter and to her huge surprise finished as the competition’s overall winner.

Stats:
Level: 2
Power: 6
Damage: 1
Ability: Support: +1 Life

Review:
Miss Clint City 2011 is here, so lets go back into memory lane and revisit the past winners of Miss Clint City. First of is Miss Jessie who won Miss Clint City 2010.

As a card she more than novelty she is good but unfortunately the original Jessie is better by having 1 more power and more stability.

Snowflake

Story:
Snowflake grew up all alone on an arid reservation. But when it was discovered that she could control the elements, she was hailed as a goddess, which soon started to get on her nerves. She’s now joining forces with the Skeelz to learn how to better manage her powers, as well as the responsibilities they entail.

Stats:
Level: 3
Power:7
Damage:4
Ability: Heal 2 Max. 12

Review:
As a card she definitely amazing, she has nice stats for her level and she has a very intimidating ability. If  Skeelz would be played defensively then definitely she would be one of the staples.

Paolo

Story:
When Don wants to get rid of someone and be sure people know about it, he calls on Paolo. He can then be certain that not only will the unlucky individual be scattered into thousands of tiny pieces but also that everyone will hear about it and learn their lesson. And if innocent people get in the way, well that's all just part of the hazards of business.

Stats:
Level: 3
Power:7
Damage:3
Ability: Poison 1, Min 3

Review:
Another solid 3 star card for Montana, in fact they have a lot already. Montana has better options like Mona and Ottavia. He ain't bad, but cause he is in clan that have lots of better option he just might not have the chance to shine.

Gork

Story:
There just isn’t room in Clint city for two idols of the crowds. Or at least that’s what Sigmund Cr thinks, feeling that DJ Korr Cr has been putting him in the shade for far too long now!! So with his four extra arms and nuclear exoskeleton in reinforced Sigmetallum, Gork is the perfect agent to eliminate the insufferable Junkz member!

Stats:
Level:5
Power:7
Damage:8
Ability: Backlash: Poison 2, Min 4

Review:
It's a 7 power 8 damage card with backlash and SOA. It doesn't matter if you get hit by backlash's poison since Gork is supposed to hit the final blow with his heavy 8 damage. His main weakness is he doesn't have any attack or power manipulation which in turn makes him just another big 5 star card.

Jackson

Story:
His name is Jakson and his job is to bring law and order to the darkest corners of Clint City. It’s a nasty job but someone has to do it! And Jakson does it very well even though he has to sometimes resort to quite heavy-handed tactics... Even more heavy-handed than that actually!

Stats:
Level: 4
Power: 8
Damage: 5
Ability: Protection: Damage

Review:
Massive stats coupled with attack manipulation and damage protection makes him a formidable card.With him around Sentinel would see more competitive play.

Coleridge

Story:
Albatrosses fly over the pirate ships, free as the wind. Some of the more suspicious Piranas believe they are bringers of bad luck but Coleridge has been studying them for a long time and has finally managed to create a flying machine that works in almost the same way as them, except it uses up a lot more charcoal.

Stats:
Level: 4
Power: 4
Damage: 6
Ability: Support: Power +1

Review:
The guy is a high risk, high reward card. He can possibly have 8 power if played in a mono-deck. If faced against SOA this card is a big liability.

Vivian

Story:
Life hasn't always been very kind to Vivian. In fact the only person who ever treated her with any real affection was Senator Drummond. Of course their relationship wasn’t out in the open and they only ever saw each other at the Red One Motel, but she always clung on to the hope that she might one day become Mrs. Drummond. And now they are united as Berzerks. Be careful what you wish for...

Stats:
Level: 3
Power: 7
Damage: 4
Ability: Protection : Damage

Review:
Vivian is very one dimensional. She is made for the sole purpose of defeating damage reducers, which by playing Berzerk, you can get by already cause of their bonus.

Cortez

Story:
Even before his transformation, Cortez was a killing machine. His strength and machete quickly made him the unrivaled Leader of the Berzerk clan. No one (living) really knows just what he was doing at the Motel on that fateful evening. But one thing's for sure - he was made to lead a small army of crazy fighters. So from there to creating one for himself wasn’t a big step to take...

Stats:
Level: 5
Power: 8
Damage: 8
Ability: Backlash: - 2 Life Min 4

Review:
A really scary card to face, an 8/8 is definitely a solid card, but other than that solid stats he doesn't have anything else to offer. He is good, but right now there are better 8/8 cards like Stanly or Ray even though there stats are a bit shaky.

Gordon

Story:
Even when he was little, Gordon would delight in hosing down anything from plants to cats to young girls’ skirts, while his young neighbor Vito would enjoy setting the very same things alight. Having both found their calling, they've been at odds with each another for years but now Gordon has joined the Rescue, he's determined to put a stop once and for all to Vito’s blazing career!

Stats:
Level: 4
Power: 6
Damage: 5
Ability: Courage: Power +2

Review:
A usable 4 star for Rescue and with the current permanent banning of Kerry he keep his clan competitive in ELO. Sure Glosh is better when faced against SOA, but a possible 8 power guy whenever you play first in a round is not to be underestimated.

Felicia

Story:
Photography is a real art form and underwater photography even more so! Over the years Felicia has mastered the challenges of diving and kitted herself out with the very latest equipment. So now as well as photographing some of the rarest fish species she's able to capture the fights of the Ulu Watu, which she has been known to take part in too...

Stats:
Level: 3
Power: 7
Damage: 3
Ability: Stop Opp. Bonus

Review:
You can compare her to Lulabee. In other words she's a mini Lulabee with 2 less stars. I think she's a wonderful addition for her clan. Dealing with a 9/3 SOB  is not easy and most players will just give up trying and throw a damage reducer or just take that 3 damage.Quite a good usable card.

Victoria

Story:
Victoria has a quality that is very rare amongst La Junta - she can talk properly, nicely and above all, calmly. As a result she's been put in charge of negotiations, talks and diplomacy and on the whole does a pretty good job of it. But if she doesn’t get what she wants, she can get really wound up and end up being as violent as the most hard-core La Junta members!

Stats:
Level: 2
Power: 7
Damage: 2
Ability: Stop : -3 Opp Power, Min 1

Review:
She traded 1 power for the chance of reducing an opponent's power by 3. If than happen then she is hands down better than Wardog. Against SOA, she's a star.

Stiko

Story:
There's only one thing Stiko likes more than partying with his Junkz buddies and that's paint ball. One particularly drunken evening, he had a total brainwave and ever since has been livening up their parties by firing multi-colored balls at anything that moves, including at the heads of their enemies who come looking for trouble with the Junkz on their own patch.

Stats:
Level: 3
Power: 8
Damage: 3
Ability: Protection: Power

Review:
He doesn't have Tremorh's pill manipulation, or Jiro's potential 9 power, or even Lolly's damage reduction. If he was a 8/4 he'd be considered tremendously more as it is i seem as average.

Hopper

Story:
One day, while out for a drink, Hopper (whose real name we'll keep to ourselves...) met Bragh and it was love at first sight. It’s not that he's particularly good-looking but the combination of virile man + cool motorbike + soft fur coat was just too much to resist! And ever since they’ve been burning rubber together and no one can stop them going wherever they like.

Stats:
Level: 4
Power: 7
Damage: 4
Ability: - 2 Opp. Life Min 1

Review:
Jungo already have Jalil who has 1 less damage but also 1 less star. If they have at least made her minimum to 0, Hopper might be usable. But as of now just get her for your collection.

Ashiko

Story:
Make no mistake about it, Ashiko is a formidable ninja. Okay, he's also a very cute little koala bear which was why he was able to get Kusuri to adopt him but his sole aim in doing so was to attend Kinjo's classes on the sly. And also to secretly eat the sacred eucalyptus plants in the monastery's gardens but if you tell anyone that, he'll surely have to kill you!

Stats:
Level: 2
Power: 8
Damage: 1
Ability: Stop: +3 Life

Review:
Nice against SOA, GHEIST, Roots but has too much competition in his clan to be given any considerations.

Kostner

Story:
Kostner, deliver this, Kostner, deliver that... Kostner had had enough!! Kostner used to dream of telling them exactly what they could do with their parcels, letters and registered deliveries!! And now he’s a member of the Berzerk clan, he’s not planning on holding back. Goodness knows why his new customers forget to sign the AR and make a run for it when they see him coming...

Stats:
Level: 3
Power: 7
Damage: 3
Ability: +1 Life Per Damage

Review:
Today what we have is Berzerk's version of Nyema. Kostner has potential, yes, but I find him out of place in Berzerk.

Nyema belongs to a clan whose main strategy is to create a big life gap between you and your opponent, on the other hand Kostner is from a clan that aims to do 2-hit KO.

Only time will tell where Kostner stands, but for now, I don't think he is amazing.

Elvis

Story:
Passing through town for the 42nd Clint City Annual Lookalike Convention, Elvis had the excellent idea of staying the night at the Red One Motel. Since his transformation, he looks less like the original but that doesn’t matter as he still managed to walk away with the Prize for the Best Lookalike after having annihilated all the other contestants.

Stats:
Level: 4
Power: 8
Damage: 4
Ability: Stop Opp. Ability

Review:
He is Berzerk's version of Bogdan. And like Bogdan he is a very good card. In his clan his only competition would be Revok as he is many times better the Beef and Gus.

Overall I have a feeling the Elvis might just become a staple in a Berzerk deck.

Fixit


Story:
Fixit started very young by customizing his scooter. Little by little he became a worthy rival of Tunned, then went on to surpass him and finally ended up hiring him when he opened his own garage. So if you need to transform your car into…anything and everything, be sure to call in on Fixit Mechanics!!

Stats:
Level: 5
Power: 7
Damage: 6
Ability: Protection Power and Damage

Review:
A first of its kind a card that combined two previous abilities Protection Power and Protection Damage.

7 power which is above average that can be further improved by his bonus and a decent 6 damage makes him a very solid card. He is best used against All Stars and Pussycats. Like most cards SOA hurts him, cause it make him prone to reductions. So beware of cards like Jeena, Bristone, Toro and the likes.

Overall Fixit is a very solid card and could put Bangers back in ELO.
