Yuck. If the Quark Drive Translocator comes out we likely have three cards played by Voss coming up but if the Frosthound is played Setback has a lot of damage coming his way from just the Frosthound and no tokens to redirect it. No matter what Setback is going to take a beating on Voss's turn.
Edit: Setback depending upon order of damage may not take everything from the Frosthound but he'll likely take a majority
Ruins of Atlantis
In Play: The Kraken #1 (4), The Kraken #2 12)
Trash: Toxic Seaweed
Start of Turn:
Play: Phosphorescent Chamber
End of Turn: Kraken #1 deals 6 melee damage to Firesworn
Kraken #2 attempts to deal 6 melee damage to The Idealist, redirects to Setback (18)
Each player must discard one card
Additional Effects:
Increase all damage dealt by 1
Increase all HP recovery by 1
At the start of the environment turn, 1 player may discard a card to destroy Phosphorecent Chamber
Setback has enough tokens to redirect the damage back to the first Kraken even with damage buffed up by one. His unlucky pool will be a zero though after that
I'll discard a Reload then.
I want to eat this damage. Whichever way we go (Frosthound or Translocator) I'll be able to use the Firesworn's damage to kill a Minion.
Unity discards a Powered Shock Wave
Between the Brainburn and the Kraken Setback's unlucky pool is empty. Unless I'm missing something
I choose not to discard tokens for the Kraken. The situation changed.
I do not discard tokens for the Kraken. The situation changed.
I do need a decision on which card before I play the villain turn
The Sentinels discard a copy of Dark Delusions.
I’d go for the Frosthound.
I agree with Frosthound on top since Setback still has tokens
Frost Hound on top and Quark Translocator on bottom.
Dark Visionary discards Mental Divergence.
Setback discards Surprising Fortune.
Based on the turn order, Voss will be attempting to damage Unity for 4 that will redirect to Setback then the Idealist for 3, then the Firesworn and then the Frosthound. Setback still has 6 tokens, are you planning on spending tokens and redirecting the damage?
Didn't Kraken #1 munch the Firesworn?
Yes, but Forced Deployment brings it back.
The damage amounts you quoted need to be increased by 1 for Phosphorescent Chamber. I'll eat the first instance of damage, and redirect the second to the Frosthound at a cost of 4 tokens. The Firesworn will then be hitting someone else (whoever's highest, certainly not me).
(I'm planning on playing Plucky Break on my turn, so want exactly 2 tokens. I'll be shuffling Wrong Time and Place back in …)
Do we want continued Turmoil on the Voss deck to look for the other ship, or shift over to Levitation coverage to reduce environment attacks? I expect that Mystical Defenses or more Toxic Seaweed is due shortly.
I would say Levitation is probably going to prevent the most damage at this point
