Competitive Analysis[]
Hammer Nora at release was relatively weak and a shadow of what she is now. She got some stat buffs in the Fall of Beacon Update but these were not enough to bring her into the spotlight. After some more buffs in both the Mayday Mayday Update and September Surge Update which increased her attack speed and improved her skill, she finally was ready for competitive play. She began to see success in swarm decks, paired with cards like Sun. However, she saw the most success in decks paired with James Ironwood after his buff in the High Wattage Update, which sparked a deck style now known as "Ironora".
