- Easier to upgrade due to lower rarity — you'll find copies more frequently from chests and the shop
Weaknesses

- Stationary — can be bypassed by flying units or spells that target fixed positions

Furnace works well in decks that can cover both offense and defense. Pair it with cards that complement its elixir cost and compensate for its weaknesses. Aim for a balanced deck average of 3.0–4.0 elixir.
