Guide
Torvald's bread and butter is on his right click ability, Nullify. This makes enemy champions silenced for 2 seconds, making you a very big pain if you the enemy doesn't go either Wrecker or Resilience to counter you. This loadout is focused on having Nullify as much as possible, whilst making you a good champion without it as well.
Scribe's Wit (5): Pretty much THE card to run with this, for obvious reasons. If you wanna play the Nullify talent, you want Nullify as much as you can.
Glyph of Health (5): Torvald's biggest weakness is his HP bar. If you remove his 2000 shield bar, he only has 3000 HP, which is the lowest of all tanks. Getting your HP card at 5 gets you an extra 750 HP, which helps a lot when you want to even 1v1 flanks. Having this card at 5 is not mandatory though, feel free to play with the points of this alongside Winddancer.
Winddancer (2): Alongside the other two, these are the cornerstones of Torvald, the others 2 cards are filler. Torvald is pretty unique, as he fits into an Off-Meta and Off-Support role at the same time. Getting Winddancer at least in 2 allows your teammates to execute their plays easier. Like previously said, play with the points of this with Glyph of Health as you see fit, I just like running it at 5.
Eldritch Speed (2): This is a filler card mostly. If you want, feel free to take the extra point off it and place it into Winddancer or Glyph of Health, I just like going fast too so I have this at 2. Other choices for this slot go to the following: Timeshaper, Glyph of Freedom and Glyph of the Fist. Lifegiver at 1/2 is not good.
Rune Torrent (1): You want this in any Torvald deck at 1. It's very similar to Seris' ammo recharge card or Makoa's Salvage. This is THE filler card to go with. When you have this at 1, it gives you 4 extra ammo, which saves you and makes you win 1v1s a lot more than you think. Very good card.
Hope you have fun with Torvald!
