And so it begins--and Sky-Scraper yet again is denied her Extremism.
The obvious places to start looking are Biomancer, and perhaps the Court of Blood, as DCAA inherited the baton that was imbued with blood magic.
*tap tap*
Da capo, al fine!
But shouldn’t it be Da Signe (I have no idea how to spell it; we always just used D.S.) since he has the symbol on his chest and all?
Da capo al segno nets us a nice little multilevel pun going on.
Well, it's not as simple as "win a game where AA destroys Carbon Adept", or then also "win a game where AA deals the final blow to Akash'Bhuta in the Court of Blood". But I figured I'd give a couple things a shot. Had a fun team going on that second one (AA / RA KNYFE / Omnitron-X / Legacy); AA was doing a pile of damage with every power phase.
It’s not simply win a game against biomancer with AA uncapped and carbon Adept in play when Biomancer goes down.
It’s also not “have Tempest kill the Carbon Adept and then win by having Biomancer removed from the game.” Not that I thought it was, nor was that the plan…
Just brainstorming, but perhaps if AA plays a song and destroys a song in the same turn? Or perhaps helps a hero play a card, then destroys that card in the same turn?
I figure copying the effect of the power we're hunting for is a good enough place to start as any...
According to The Letters Page, the baton belonged to a Virtuoso who, instead of training up other potential Virtuosos, stole their power to use for himself.
So maybe the unlock has to do with Argent Adept not supporting other heroes -- like only using his cards effects on himself (i.e., only granting himself card plays, power uses or draws, and only healing himself).
Having AA only use his songs to benefit himself and deal damage, as well has have him get all instruments into play and personally destroy both the Carbon Adept and Biomancer, isn't it. He boosted his own damage, granted himself extra powers, and healed himself (with both songs that do so), as well as destroy targets with both his damaging songs. This was in the Court of Blood.
Maybe we have to put him in the lead as though he's "conducting" the team?
Or maybe, since he's acting selfishly, he has to be in the back?
Maybe he has to Cedistic Dissonant Carbon Adept? Or even blow up all his instruments?
Maybe he has to buff only other people, and then when Carbon Adept is destroyed, only buff himself?
I think an important thing to remember about this variant is Blood magic. The holder of the baton infused the power of blood magic with the normal void 'energy' of a Virtuoso, which lead to its corruption.
Blood Magic could be represented through self-damage, so the first card that comes to mind is Polyphoric Flare? If self-damage isn't the case, maybe its just being in critical health?
So the variant was just unlocked, and the picture can be found on Handelabra's twitter page.
Argent's turn, the other heroes are Legacy, then (in second position) Base Argent, Requital Cosmic, SOMEONE who is hard to tell in the picture (Scholar?), then Unleashed Visionary. No one appears to be incapped. The Villain is Akash in Court of Blood. Hallowed Halls and Infecting an Heir are both out.
I'm assiuming it has something to do with Argent dealing the final blow to Akash in this specific envionrment. Will get to testing.
Hmm...blood magic...
Maybe Infecting an Heir has to hit Argent at least once in Court of Blood?
It's probably an environment requirement and not an enemy requirement. AA's Letters Page episode didn't mention any encounters between him and Akash'Bhuta after the Carbon Adept event. Unfortunately I can't tell much about the game state from just that picture.
Akash is the one who corrupted the baton's original wielder, though.
I can say it is not /just/ Argent Adept dealing the final blow to Akash in the Court of Blood. I tried that last night. He had almost everything out, and had used every instrument at least once.
So that may be the villain and environment, but there's definitely more to it.
That's Bearded Ra after Cosmic.
Just throwing that out there.
I can second this. Nowhere near all his stuff was out, but still. Eaven had the Blood Countess hit him the round before he got the finishing blow on Akash.
I can't tell from the picture, is that unlock on twitter from AA getting the finishing blow on Akash?
