Sea Monster is a subtype unique to a small set of Bilgewater, and even smaller set of
Shadow Isles
followers. The main distinction they have in-game is their universal usage of the
Deep keyword, and their synergy with
7Nautilus.
The Sea Monster cards are the horrors that roam the seas of Runeterra, particularly the depths around the
Serpent Isles and the oceans surrounding the
Shadow Isles. Many appear to be corrupted by the Black Mist or
The Void, and many of the monsters are large parts of
Bilgewater's traditions.
Strategy[]
- Decks with Sea Monsters often use
Toss to reach
Deep faster. Once they reach
Deep, they have access to very powerful, cheap
units.
- For the early game, these decks can use
Lifesteal,
Drains and controlling
spells to survive while working towards the depths.
7Nautilus (Level 2) and
3 Lure of the Depths can be used to reduce the cost of Sea Monsters. Nautilus' cost reduction along with his high stats can on its own win games.
5 Abyssal Eye or
8 Terror of the Tides are good at closing out games, usually leaving the enemy unable to
block.
6 Devourer of the Depths can obliterate key cards on the opponent's board, even
champions. It is especially strong if it is buffed, for example if the player is already
deep.
- For the early game, these decks can use
4Maokai is a champion often used in conjunction with
7Nautilus in Sea Monster decks.
Trivia[]
7Nautilus
level up condition may be to go
deep, but he is not classified as Sea Monster and does not have the keyword, yet he does receive a large stat bonus for being Deep.
- The Sea Monsters have themes of the fear of the impending death they bring, and of the unknown or unknowable.
