Dinosaur King Trading Card Game

Double the Power!

Colossal Team Battle brought us Guardian Fukuisaurus, the first non-Special Dinosaur with two abilities. Now in Alpha Dinosaurs Attack, there are even more awesome two-ability Dinosaurs. Having two abilities makes these Dinosaurs doubly dangerous! Here’s the info on a few of these new Dinos and how to best use them in your deck.

 

First up is the fiery Ferocious Torvosaurus. This level 4’s two abilities are [Bite] and [Frenzy]. At first glance, [Frenzy] might not seem that great—after all, it makes you lose Life Points. But it comes with an extra 100 Power, giving Ferocious Torvosaurus a total of 1700. That’s more than most level 4 Dinosaurs that have a special ability. That extra Power can make a huge difference in winning battles. When you win while attacking, [Bite] makes the most of it by chomping an extra Life Point from your opponent.

 

Next up is Wandering Torosaurus. This is a great Dinosaur to have wander into your Lightning deck, because its abilities make it good in a lot of different situations. First, it’s got [Recharge], which lets one of your other Lightning Dinosaurs attack twice. This makes Wandering Torosaurus a good draw even later in the game—it can let one of your more powerful level 5 or 6 Dinosaurs attack twice in the same turn. This Torosaurus is also strong when it’s doing the fighting itself. Its other ability is [Stun], which robs any Dinosaur that battles Wandering Torosaurus of its abilities. It’s perfect for stopping Dinos with abilities like [Bonus], [Bite], and [Armored].

 

These double-ability Dinosaurs are like two cards in one! Look for these, and more, in booster packs of Alpha Dinosaurs Attack. With double-ability Dinos in your deck, your race to become the Dinosaur King will go twice as fast!
