TLT got me Heedless lash.

Brambles means I can still play my cards/use my power without actually taking any damage right?

Any reason not to go with Amulet of the Elder Gods so I can redirect but not deal and still keep the immunity?

Yeah, you can still play any cards and just not take any damage from doing so. Amulet is always the best card to put into play. Infact it is really the only card she needs. As long as you can get a big enough handsize.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:

With Haka and NightMist out of commision (Humorously Ensnaring Brambles feature Haka, while the Ethearal Bonds feature NightMist, but they are getting effected by the opposite ones) were going to need to get some damage out A.S.A.P. the Bonds may be slightly more important, as Haka actually wants to deal damage. Or NightMist has Planar Banishment if she wants to go ahead and use that. Either way works for me!

If I redirect I am no longer the lowest. So what does everyone think we should do?

Well I see 3 things we can do.

 

  1. NightMist can planar banishment and hope for at least a 2 to destroy the Bonds and Allies of the Earth, as Bubbles aren't really that much of a problem, especially if we knock it down to 1 HP.
  2. Haka can play Ground Pount, that will prevent the non-hero cards from dealing damage until Haka's next turn, meaning we probably won't want to kill any limbs until then, but it will give us a round to destroy the bounds.
  3. Finally, Tachyon with Hypersonic can hit all current targets and prevent damage until the start of her next turn. Since Akash'Bhuta has damage reduction she will not be effected and thus can deal damage to herself with limb destruction.

Any of those are fine by me, as we can't destroy the Bonds in one round using both Tachyon and Tempest.

 

Edit: Option 4, Tempest can Localize Hurricane the Bonds and the Bubbles, Tachyon can follow up with an Accelerated Assualt, leaving Bubbles at 1 HP. Haka will then play a Haka of Shielding discarding 1 card, to reduce the next 2 damage, which should be the Bonds, and thus Haka can deal damage again next round.

Tempest

HP:  24

Hand:

Localized Hurricane x2, Into the Stratosphere, Chain Lightning, Electrical Storm, Reclaim From the Deep

Start of Turn:

Nothing

Play a Card:

Chain Lightning - Explosive Bubbles for 4 (1), 3 to Ethereal Bonds (dropping them to 6), and 2 to Mountainous Carapace (6)

Use a Power:

Squall - Explosive Bubbles (0 HP), Ethereal Bonds (5 HP), Mountainous Carapace (5 HP), Ensnaring Brambles (3) and Akash'bhuta laughs it off due to the Carapace

Draw a Card:

Vicious Cyclone

Trash:

Chain Lightning

-------

Brambles was actually helping me. We didn’t need to take it out.

If you want to keep them, could just do 1 to them from the Squall, remove the Bubbles or do more damage to the Bonds, and just do more damage to the Carapace.

So how is Tempest going to spread his Chain Lightning damage then?
