Special contest for the best card! [up to 3rd September]

[district // 9]

Greetings to the Wolves!

The Command is starting a special contest. You have a chance to prove yourself as a master of blacksmithy by submitting your very own designs of cards. The most interesting prototypes will be seriously considered by the Iron Priests to be put into the serial production.

Each participant will receive a reward, and the top three will be proposed to choose one of the DLCs or three favourite cards of the maximum level.

Your prototype manuals should look the following way:

• Weapon technical specifications (damage, accuracy, effort points, rarity, range, number of shots \ hits, type of armour).
  
• If it possible, a sketch of the prototype in 2 variants – basic version and fully upgraded card (simplified variants of sketches are allowed).
  
• Additional powers of the prototype, if any.
  
  Each participant may submit up to 10 prototypes.
  
  The deadline for submitting works is on 3rd September.
  
  Good luck!
  
  P.S. Please, do not flood here, this discussion is only for your works!

[LordLancelot]

This card is a self heal, does not heal nearby allies. I made the card to be useful at all level, level one heal the most but has a very high cost, the high-level cards are the most cost effective.

I very much enjoy Chain Effect cards - I play a lot of Terminator, and churning through my deck with draw cards and chain effects allows me to see the maximum number of cards per turn as possible. As such, my first 2 suggestions are Chain Effects cards. I apologize, but I don't have access to a program that would let me mock up the card visuals, as LordLancelot seems to!



1) "Orbital Resupply"

Epic - Use - ALL ARMOR TYPES

Lvl. 1 - 8 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Draw 1 card when attacking an enemy at least 4 cells away"
Lvl. 2 - 7 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Draw 1 card when attacking an enemy at least 4 cells away"
Lvl. 3 - 6 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Draw 1 card when attacking an enemy at least 4 cells away"
Lvl. 4 - 5 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Draw 1 card when attacking an enemy at least 3 cells away"
Lvl. 5 - 4 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Draw 2 cards when attacking an enemy at least 3 cells away"


Similar to a Burn or Ambush, this will trigger given the right conditions and reward you with another card (or two!), which will at LEAST replace the card used to trigger it, giving you a look at more cards per turn.



2) "Bleed"

Rare - Use - ALL ARMOR TYPES

EFFECT DURATION - 3 Turns

Lvl. 1 - 6 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Target receives 60 DMG / turn {at the beginning of their turn} when attacked with a Melee Weapon"
Lvl. 2 - 6 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Target receives 70 DMG / turn {at the beginning of their turn} when attacked with a Melee Weapon"
Lvl. 3 - 6 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Target receives 80 DMG / turn {at the beginning of their turn} when attacked with a Melee Weapon"
Lvl. 4 - 5 Effort - CHAIN EFFECT - "Target receives 100 DMG / turn {at the beginning of their turn} when attacked with a Melee Weapon"


While I enjoy stun, it can also be triggered using a Ranged weapon. As such, this is more of a symmetrical response to Burn; while Burn can only be triggered with a Ranged Weapon, Bleed can only be triggered by using a Melee weapon.


3) "Inferno Shield"

Legendary - Equip - Combat Shield - ALL ARMOR TYPES

Lvl.1 - 12 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 75 DMG at the beginning of your turn"
Lvl.2 - 11 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 100 DMG at the beginning of your turn"
Lvl.3 - 11 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 150 DMG at the beginning of your turn"
Lvl.4 - 10 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 200 DMG at the beginning of your turn"
Lvl.5 - 10 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 250 DMG at the beginning of your turn"
Lvl.6 - 9 Effort - "All enemies in adjacent squares receive 300 DMG at the beginning of your turn"


This is sort of an oddball - I don't like the Combat Shields that have been featured already, I feel that they don't produce that good of an effect to warrant their inclusion in many competitive decks. This is a direct result of their effect relying on RNG rather than being a sure thing. As such, this Combat Shield would trigger every turn while it is equipped to your hero, not relying on the roll of the dice. While the high-level damage outputs are significant, it is a LEGENDARY item, so the chances of seeing a fully leveled version of it are slim to none (at least, on iOS in PvP). Also, this damage WOULD NOT ignore armor, and would be halved until the enemies' armor had melted off. Plus, I just like the image of a Terminator equipped with a shield made of impenetrable fire!





4) "Paralysis Wave"

Epic - Use - ALL ARMOR TYPES

Lvl.1 - 14 Effort - "All enemies within 1 square lose 1 Action Point at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.2 - 14 Effort - "All enemies within 2 squares lose 1 Action Point at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.3 - 14 Effort - "All enemies within 2 squares lose 1 Action Point at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.4 - 13 Effort - "All enemies within 2 squares lose 1 Action Point at the beginning of their next two turns"
Lvl.5 - 13 Effort - "All enemies within 3 squares lose 1 Action Point at the beginning of their next two turns"

This would be an effect similar to a Wolf Companion's Howl card- you would pop into the middle of a group of enemies, use your Paralysis Wave, and then give your squadmates time to move away from the action while the enemy can only use 1 Action Point the next turn (or two). Not completely sure that the balancing of the area of effect, cost as well as the actual effect itself is completely done, but I think a card like this could be fun. I believe "Yngvar's Finest - Sniper Rifle" has this effect, but I thought it'd be cool on its own card. Also, since it's not for any specific Armor type, it can be used by any and all players regardless of their preferred build.



5) "Psychosis Wave"

Epic - Use - ALL ARMOR TYPES

Lvl.1 - 14 Effort - "All enemies within 1 square discard 1 card at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.2 - 14 Effort - "All enemies within 1 square discard 2 card at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.3 - 13 Effort - "All enemies within 1 square discard 2 card at the beginning of their next turn"
Lvl.4 - 13 Effort - "All enemies within 2 square discard 2 cards at the beginning of their next 2 turns"
Lvl.5 - 12 Effort - "All enemies within 3 square discard 2 cards at the beginning of their next 2 turns"

The flipside of the Paralysis Wave card above, this one would be a similar area-of-effect USE card, but the payoff would be that your opponent has to discard 1 or cards at the beginning of of their next 1 or 2 turns. This effect would serve to negate their draw step, basically, forcing your opponent to have to make tough decisions about using their cards during their next turn or two.


These 2 cards are just cool mechanics that I've found as effects on other cards, but I thought were cool enough to warrant their own cards. As I said, I'm not sure how to balance the effort, area-of-effect, and the actual payoff, but that could be play-tested by the development team if they were truly interested.





Thanks for taking a look at them!

When you have the highest level of this gun equipped and you are stunned by a Stun card that would normally add +6 effort each time a card is played, you would add +3 instead.

1. Stun needs 5th level. Actually it doesn't need it, there is no real difference between be stunned with +6 or +7 effort. But look at its sad eyes, Blaze has five levels and the poor thing has only four. Come on.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1493872106&fileuploadsuccess=1

2. I don't think there should be any new cards (except some utility cards and those missing its particullar rarity, eventually). Rather revamp the old weapons. Here are some drafts - feel free to rename it, change the rarity or values, it's all about the ideas behind, not a particullar card.

2.1. Weapons with bayonets: "+50 % damage when you're attacking a target within 1 cell" (the range always includes 1, so in the case of combi-plasma, as below, the range should be changed to 1-4)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502789002&fileuploadsuccess=1

2.2. Fix the land mines. If it can cuase the lost of enemy turn as described, it'd be quite funny to use (or it can be replaced with "-1 action effect" instead). Also lower effort cost to 6.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502905631&fileuploadsuccess=1

2.3 Power fist, L, Use, 7 effort, ~700 damage, ~90% hit chance. "Chain effect: -1 action to targets not at full health".

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502902693&fileuploadsuccess=1

2.4. "Discard up to 2 cards, +15% damage for every card discarded" - a weapon side effect, can be applied to any weapon

2.5. Adrenaline Boost, move, 6 effort. "+1 action. Discard up to 4 cards, (another) +1 action for every card discarded"

2.6. Berserk Rage, move, 6 effort "Chain effect: Attacker loses all armor, +10% damage for every armor lost"
- originally designed for Terminators or melee attacks, but it could actually work for ranged attacks as well

2.7. Concentration, move, 6 effort "Chain effect: You can keep all chain effect cards triggered"
- originally designed to be used with Assaults, Stuns, Blaze, Devastate, but it could be pretty badass with the Ambush

2. 8. Dodge, move, 6(5) effort "Chain effect: When you're attacked, your opponent suffers -80% hit chance penalty"

2.9. Any heavy weapon with +1 action effect, so you can equip it and empty it with 2 attacks. Or you can attack once almost for free using it with 2× "-5 effort" cards.
