Good advice . I ' m preparing to talk to them tomorrow . Maybe bring a pie over . but I ' m also trying to gauge what cards do I even have in my hand to play . They moved in 2 months ago . <| sep |> Nyx ' s Impale is meant to combo with his other spells Spiked Carapace and Vendetta . Vendetta allows Nyx to position himself where he needs to be without the enemy becoming aware of his presence . This gives him the element of surprise , allowing for an easier time landing his stun if you can predict enemy movements such as when they ' ll go for a last hit . You can also activate Spike Carapace without breaking Vendetta . Nobody seems to know this , but its incredibly useful . With proper timing you can use Spike Carapace to stun the enemy if they are casting some sort of AoE damage and use this to combo into your Impale . For this reason , Nyx is a pretty good counter to Ember Spirit . If he pops Flame Guard , use Spike Carapace to stun him from invis and unload your full combo on him . It should be enough to kill him if you have an ally nearby .
