Kang

Character Background
As a reliable yet quick-tempered goal keeper, Kang’s football team decide to get rid of him as his fits of anger are starting to scare his own defenders. Tired of stopping balls, he reinvents himself as a shot putter. Throwing a ball as far as he can could very well be the making of him…
Review
Before Robb there was absolutely no dependable three-stars for All Stars. Amelia is just too weak to SOA and Lewis is just to boring. Kang gave them another option. He is nowhere near Robb’s power level but his 6/4 stats is solid enough for a three-star and the fact that he has an attack reducing ability which compliments his power reducing bonus. Kang is a great card the only downside with him is that you would rather play another four-star card (Striker, Marina, Loma Noju and Liu)

Liu

Character Background
International star, Liu, is the face of the advertisements for the ChocoMuscle chocolate bar (“The bar that hits the spot”). She is contacted in the utmost secrecy by Eyrton who opens her eyes to the damage caused by snacking between meals. So revolted by what she hears, she terminates her contact with the multinational and joins the All Stars.
Review
Last time Bangers got a mini-version of their best card so why not give All Stars the same thing? After Lamar Cr has been hit by the ban hammer months ago the dominance of the All Stars in ELO has ended and even with the addition of Robb they never really got back into form. But will a weaker version of Lamar Cr put All Stars back on top?
Yes you heard me correctly Lamar Cr is back or to be exact a weaker version of him is now available for us. Liu is a four-star version with 1 less power and damage and a courage base SOB. She has potential especially because she can do a two-hit KO with Marina, Striker and yes even Alexei would look good with her around.
In my opinion she is a great addition for the clan and may help All Stars rise back but I don’t see them as tier 1 yet.

Allison

Character Background
Allison has a little secret for achieving her incredible javelin throws. She imagines her ex at the other end of the pitch, stood there with a stupid grin on his face, just like when she found him in bed with the captain of the long-jump team. It works every time!
Review
From the beer-loving Robb we now take a look at the spear throwing Amazon, Allison. Robb is an automatic staple in your All Stars deck, while Allison is decent enough to be considered.
Her background story really suits her; if she is properly motivated she is incredible. 7/6 is more than enough to give your opponent a scare, but she can only do it half of the time. Half of the time she will just be a 7/3, which is a bad Lewis. And she is worse when in the slump.
Allison is not that bad, but she isn’t good enough either.

Robb

Character Background
Robb always knew he wanted to be a professional darts player – the only sport that’s always played in the warm, with a beer in hand. What he didn’t know was that he would become the best ever – practically a legend – capable of transforming simple bits of metal into real weapons.
Review
The first card to be reviewed is one of the newest additions in Clint City, the wizard of darts, Robb. Gone are the days when you would use either Lewis or Amelia as three star filler for your All Stars deck. With Robb’s arrival All Stars got a major boost on their most obvious weakness the lack of a dependable three star.
The 5/4 stats won’t win him any award but if you count both his ability and bonus he is a virtual 10/4 not bad for a three star. With his ability of –3 power min 4 plus the All Stars bonus of –2 power min 1 he can easily humble anyone with power 7 or less.
But he is far from perfect his 5/4 stats is his main weakness as cards, which can decrease or increase attack will be a problem for this beer-loving athlete.
