NOTE:This is not an official update or post on the current ST expansion. This post is an idea thought up by UXM266 (me). Please take it as a fun new thing players can try.
I just thought of a cool new feature you can do with the heroes, based on the Shattered Timeline expansion set. Take this scenario.
FLAVOR: "The worlds are colliding. Universes are getting mixed up, and no hero is stable in the current timestream. Heroes known for their cheerful demeanor are being swapped for a version known, or their brutal style, in both personality and combat. The only way the members of the Freedom Five can prevent this unstable time loop is if they defeat the foe pitied against them”.
Essentially, consider using both the promo and regular hero card. Every turn you change the hero from the Core Edition Member to the Shattered Timeline Edition. The deck stays the same, but the power will be in constant fluctuation. It’s as if the worlds collided, and only one version can be in “Existence” at once!
Of course this can only be done with the Freedom 6 and Visionary characters…. (as of now OCTOBER 31st).
That sounds fun. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it for Redeemer Fanatic, Rook City Wraith, and Beard Ra, as well. You couldn't really do it as well with Legacy, considering that they are clearly, um, different people.
There is the question about what you would do with the hit point totals. I think simply increasing and decreasing hit points by the proper amount every time the hero changes is the best solution.
The reason i chose the freedom 6 only is because Tachyon - team leader is a different version of Tachyon (Normal Edition).
RC Wraith, Ra, Fanatic are essentially come from the same universe as thier originals. ANd young legacy is a compeltely different person in the same universe. It can work, but the style i suggested caters to the different timeline. The freedom 6 are different universe-versions. Like parallel earths. Know what I mean?
Well, same universe... but different points in time. So the Shattered Time theme can still come through, and you're not unnecessarily limiting who you can use for this.
I don't actually see why you couldn't do this with Young Legacy and Normal Legacy also. >G has already laid out two timelines where one survives and the other doesn't, but it's different in each.
I love your signature. Also, other than HP I don't see any problems. I think it's easiest to just start at the lower HP. I'm working on a set of scenarios like the ones on Spiff's website, but that use all the current cards. I'd love to use this idea for one of the battles if you're okay with it. Thanks.
First, Thanks for the complement on the quote. I love it too. It belongs to >G though.
And about the gameplay, true, simply keeping your current HP makes sense. What i was thinking was that every turn that hero changes Promo cards. Keeps any Ongoings, and HP. Another way i was thinging was rolling a die or a coin flip. Make it random! 3 wraiths, well roll a die, get a random number generator. Something like that to make it even more random. And please, use it when you want or can. I just ahvnt thought of a good name. Maybe "Paradigm Shift" or "Crisis of the Multiverses".
