Hellforged Chains is a situational event which should not be used as often as other event cards but it does address certain problems in the deck, mainly the lack of reach and surprise. Without Hellforged Chains, it would not be difficult to position units safely against Balzar. However, the threat of this event makes it so that very few spots are safe. Blood Berserkers like to use Chains to hit multiple targets, Ember Demons use it to reach hiding targets, especially when combined with Hellforged Axe. Ember Guards can also employ hit and run tactics and hit units between gates, even their own gates, using this event.
