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

[Marluna]

@tutuu since block has a 1 turn CD, would you mind taking Bounty? Or would that leave you too little of health?

[Marshal]

i’m also fine being the sacrificial lamb if atlas wants to have a more normal set of abilities. It’s a decision i’ll leave to her, i’ll do my best to be active regardless but i’ll let her choose if she wants to be the lamb or if I should

[tutuu]

Im fine with it, but i thought a non-tank should take it and put it on me?

[tutuu]

@ElizaThePsycho

Bounty - Spend X: Place a Bounty of X on target ally. For every point of damage they take this round, you automatically gain X Shields and 0.5X Energy (not health!) next round.

I cant guarantee soneone else gets attacked

[Squirrel2412]

You can’t guarantee it

But once we hit the boss we should have decent odds of guessing it

@ElizaThePsycho

Discount Foresight - At the beginning of the round, you will recieve three possible attacks that an enemy could carry out, exactly one of which will be correct. You may choose to send X Energy to give one of the three targets 2X Shields. After actions have been selected, one of the attacks you didn’t choose will be revealed to be false. You may then spend X energy to change your target, and you may adjust your other actions. No refunds.

[Squirrel2412]

But yes, a non tank should take it bc it cant self target

[Marluna]

It target’s an ally, but gives shield to yourself.
I think it should be paired with Taunt and parry.

[tutuu]

Its more powerful if combod with taunt on the same turn imo (by another user on taunt user)

[tutuu]

The boss will hit me for 200-300 anyway and it probably cant be stopped all with shields and need to rely on damage cap

[tutuu]

Whereas when the boss hits players on non-taunt turns the damage will be more spread out (probably)

[tutuu]

We could put it on a player with the most important abilities that we wanna keep alive the longest. So a dps

[tutuu]

The person with totemic call and/or paper planes and/or the damage ability that grows over time

[Marluna]

I think power of friendship is enough extra for totemic call.

But I agree on Training arc combined with Bounty.

@Marshal your opinion on it?

[Marluna]

I don’t think Paperkinosis should waste energy beside their paper planes, I think we want as many paperplanes as fast as possible we can.

If paper spends X energy (for bounty) for 0,5X energy for next round (which isn’t even garantueed), it could just use X energy for papers for the first place.

[Zugzwang]

purrrrr I am now able to play thtbthbthtbhtb

[Marluna]

Want to be a backup?
(if we go with Atlas’ plan you could have both a lot of Health or a lot of ability relatively early. If we disagree with Atlas’ plan, you basically would have only basic attack and basic defense until someone dies.)

nyaaaaa sure
I’m pretty tired rn and don’t want to sort through all the mech in detail, but I saw that strategy mentioned earlier and it seems reasonable

[Marshal]

Yes I agree training arc/bounty combined

[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

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

Huntsman and Damsel - One other ally is secretly made the Damsel. Flavor will hint at the Damsel ’s identity. Once per game, you may guess that a living player is the Damsel - if correct, immediately deal 30 unblockable damage to an enemy.

Huntsman and Damsel is purchasable for 12 Health.

@ElizaThePsycho

Honorable Offer - Strike a deal with an enemy, restricting both of you to be unable to perform certain actions. You spend Energy depending on how restricting the deal is each round, both to use this Power and to maintain it each round.

Honorable Offer is purchasable for 13 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

Revenge - Spend all Energy: Make an attack against an enemy equivalent to the highest Attack made by them against you in this round, times 1.5.

These 6 are the abilities we don’t really want the boss to have.

@ElizaThePsycho

Power Word: Heal - Spend X Energy (X is capped at 80): Target player, and heal them for X*0.33 damage. If X is greater than 40: If they are attacked in any way by The Boss this turn, their status reverts to how it was the last turn they weren’t attacked. This ability cannot self target.

Power Word: Heal is purchasable for 19 Health.

@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.

Elemental Attack is purchasable for 13 Health.

And these 2 are powers I think we still should take. (but the boss can not really use them, if we don’t take them in the end.)

[Geyde]

I think I can take potato if we really don’t want boss to have it (idr how boss ability transference works)
