Boss Fight Misc: VS The King in Binds - Power Exchange

[Marluna]

@ElizaThePsycho

Elemental Attack - Spend 20 Energy and buff an ally’s attacks by 33% this turn. Also choose one of these elements to add to their attack:

• Fire: Target is burnt, and takes 5 damage for the next 3 turns.
• Mental Exhaustion: Target is slowed, and loses 5 Energy (not health) for the next 3 turns.
• Nuclear Energy: Targets deals 5 less damage with each attack during this turn.
• Stock Market Transactional Power: Target takes the amount of energy attacker does not use this turn, next turn as an attack from them.

It doesn’t say basic attack, so in theory thisshould buff parry as well.

@ElizaThePsycho

No Pain No Gain - Spend 10 Energy: Your next attack will deal X extra damage, where X is equal to half the damage of a single attack directed against you.

This one also should combo with parry. So I think it should be given to the tank as a third power. (Taunt, parry and this. That’s 34 Health alltogether.) Are we fine the tank having only 66 Health?)

@ElizaThePsycho

Hot Potato - At the start of each round, pass this power to an ally who has not held the hot potato. If there are no valid targets, you give it to a single enemy, dealing 40 unblockable damage and discarding this power. If someone dies while carrying the hot potato, it explodes, and a random living ally also dies in the explosion.

Hot Potato is purchasable for 9 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Totemic Call - Spend 10 Energy to summon a random totem from the following list. All totems have 10 Health. There may be an infinite amount of Totems out at any given time, even multiple of the same type. (The totems count as an additional allied player, except when calculating win conditions.)

1. Searing Totem: Deals 5 damage to an enemy each round.
2. Healing Totem: Heals each ally 3 Health at the start of each round. May not heal beyond the starting value. (Starting value is the amount of Health you have immediately after the Power Exchange)
3. Taunt Totem: An enemy has all of their single-target attacks redirected to the Taunt totem. (The Power Taunt takes priority)
4. Mana Totem: Grants 5 additional Energy to every ally at the start of each round. (This Energy vanishes at the end of each round as usual)

I just realized this is an anti-sinergy as well.

If we summon a totem each round, hot potato’s chain becomes longer each round. Worst case a totem dies while holding the hot potato.

But these two are powers we can’t afford to not take. We just need to be careful with them.

Also anyone taking combinohealing (if any) has to assign numbers to the totems as well, based on the powers description.

[CarrotyReaper]

That would probably make them fairly weak

[Marluna]

there are some cheap powers

[CarrotyReaper]

I think power word:Heal is good because it can make somebody immortal in the 2nd phase (since if they are attacked by the boss it just cancels it if I’m reading it right?) but the other one are too niche/expensive

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

Oh fuck one sec

[Atlas]

your interpretation of a sec is fascinating to me

[Marluna]

@ElizaThePsycho

Combinohealing - Each round, assign a number 1-9 to every living allied player, including yourself. Players will gain that much health. Players may not recieve the same number twice. This costs as much energy as you heal players for. (For example, if you assigned 9, 8, and 5, you would spend 22 energy) Combinohealing may not heal itself past the starting Health of its user.

Combinohealing is purchasable for 17 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Paperkenesis - If your basic attack would deal damage to an enemy, instead create that many Paper Airplanes. Paper Airplanes have 1 HP and automatically attack an enemy for 1 damage each round. You may command any number of paper airplanes to protect an ally instead of attacking; if the target they protect is attacked, damage will be dealt to an equivalent number of protecting Paper Airplanes after defense, but before damage is dealt.

Paperkrensis is purchasable for 15 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Necromancy - Target a dead ally, and choose one of their abilities. For this turn, gain the chosen ability and pay its cost. While nobody is dead, gain a copy of a random ability from another player at the start of each turn. (You lose them at the end of each round and gain a new one)

Necromancy is purchasable for 20 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Backup - Once per game, activate this power and choose a dead ally, and inherit all of their abilities. You will lose all of your current abilities.

Backup is purchasable for 6 Health.

I think these are fine 1-power Hero abilities.

Willow’s moving at the speed of light.
Time works differently for her.

[Marluna]

@ElizaThePsycho

Training Arc - Spend 15 energy to attack for 8*X damage, where X is the number of times you have used this ability (starts at 1, so the first attack does 8 damage)

Training Arc is purchasable for 9 Health.

This one is fine by himself as well, but I think rhis one should be paired for hot potato. (which also costs 9 Health.)

[Marluna]

@ElizaThePsycho

Power of Friendship - Each round, for every ally that is alive, gain +2 Energy (not health)! for that round.

Power of Friendship is purchasable for 6 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Totemic Call - Spend 10 Energy to summon a random totem from the following list. All totems have 10 Health. There may be an infinite amount of Totems out at any given time, even multiple of the same type. (The totems count as an additional allied player, except when calculating win conditions.)

1. Searing Totem: Deals 5 damage to an enemy each round.
2. Healing Totem: Heals each ally 3 Health at the start of each round. May not heal beyond the starting value. (Starting value is the amount of Health you have immediately after the Power Exchange)
3. Taunt Totem: An enemy has all of their single-target attacks redirected to the Taunt totem. (The Power Taunt takes priority)
4. Mana Totem: Grants 5 additional Energy to every ally at the start of each round. (This Energy vanishes at the end of each round as usual)

Totemic Call is purchasable for 13 Health.

I think these two should go together.

@ElizaThePsycho
if a Servant summon a totem, and the totem dies, would that count as a Servant dieing?

[tutuu]

Taunt

Parry

Potentially revenge if it works in the OP way i asked earlier

Potentially No Pain No Gain if it works the way i think it works (the wording is ambigious imo)

[tutuu]

I can get overloaded with abilities and then die and the backup can restore my kit. Having a strong tank for the boss will be good i think. Taunt cuts the boss damage in half, kinda

[Atlas]

i think its best to just make sure the boss gets absolutely nothing imo

[tutuu]

Then i can take any other excess abilities we find no room for

[Marluna]

at least nothing useful.

[tutuu]

I can spare the health for hot potato

[Marluna]

I don’t think Revenge works the way you envisioned.

[Atlas]

i don’t think we should be the ones to design everything as marluna suggested

im sure other people might see things we dont
