Stacking Echo Form

[MechaTails]

I'm in a run right now with Defect, and my deck doesn't look that great, but it's savage lol.

The cards that are being played most often are Echo Form, Claws, and Apparition. Orbs are mostly Frost.

What other cards synergize well with Echo Form? I mean, I know the answer is "all of them", but in particular I think things that upgrade themselves when played benefit the most. Having 3 Echo Forms active is scary.

Defense. Anything to help you last long enough to get those echo forms online/cheat them out is really all you need. Even Block+ is a good card doubled, so playing 3 doubled cards a turn is nuts and will win fights as long as you're not dead. Boot Sequence, the 0 cost that gives block but decreases every time it's played, Force Fields ,Buffering from earlier turns, etc.

Definitely, it also helps that I had Echoing Defragments and Looping Frost orbs.

Just beat the Time Eater, was a fun nerve-wracking run. I'm going to note all the cards in this deck and see if I can distill it for future runs.

It always has, iirc, only it was different before. It used to be having X stacks made the first card you played each turn activate X extra times. Now it makes the first X cards you play each turn double up. Arguably weaker, but more flexible and fun IMO.

No it did not.

From the first day it was released into the BETA branch it would stack like it does now. The next X cards are doubled where X is the number of Echo Forms you have played.

If you have 5 mana, meteor strike is great with echo form, of course if you have 3 orb or less so you can evoke plasma and gain mana.

what synergizes well with echo form is the block that generate energy, also that relic that heals you when you play a power, that plus creative ai and echo form, you can pretty much stall battles and heal to full hp in any given fight.

[corbet]

glacier is well with it. most powers are well with it, the solid blocks are well with it for burst of block that you need when you need it, ect. even card draw and energy generation cards work well with it if that's what you need that given turn.

Echo From is also great with any Relic that activates when multiple cards of a certain type, I.E Letter Opener/Kunai. Also the Mumified Hand+Creative AI+Echoform even better. Then there was the time I had 8 Buffer stacks at once. I have gone from Ascencion 1 to 8 based off Echoform alone.

It's great with Buffer in any case. Otherwise, it's not something you should build an entire deck around. If you just build a deck that's great on its own, Echo Form will make all aspects of it a little bit better.
