Expert Analysis
Strategic Overview
Basil Hawkins (OP14-010) is the "assassin" of the OP14 Law archetype. His [On Play] effect is a surgical removal tool that K.O.s characters with 3000 power or less. While this threshold seems low, in the Trafalgar Law deck—which is packed with power-reduction effects—Hawkins can effectively remove almost any character on the board.
As a 4-cost with 5000 power, Hawkins provides a reliable body that sticks to the aggressive Red curve. He is best used to clear problematic searchers or utility blockers that have been softened up by other effects. He ensures that your aggressive momentum isn't stalled by low-cost walls, allowing your larger threats to focus entirely on the opponent's Leader.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Shachi & Penguin (OP14-006): Their -2000 debuff brings 5000-power characters down to 3000, perfectly setting up Hawkins for a K.O.
- X Drake (OP14-009): Drake's -2000 reduction expands Hawkins' reach to mid-range blockers.
- Jean Bart (OP14-012): Provides the additional -1000 debuff needed to reach specific mathematical breakpoints for Hawkins.
Pro Strategy Tip: Stacking debuffs is the key to Hawkins. Always calculate your power-reduction effects first to see if you can pull a high-cost threat into his 3000-power execution range.
