ART: OdinVanguard IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today will be enlightening, even ILLUMINATING" "May the light guide your hand. Use IT!" Provides light with a counter to several shields and provides a cantrip like alternative to blessing. The +5 damage does not stack, but the +33% chance does. The chance stacking is geometric. E.g. chance = (1-(1-1/3)^stackCount) 1 stack = 33% +1.67 average damage per attack 2 stacks = 56% +2.78 average damage per attack 3 stacks = 73% +3.52 average damage per attack 4 stacks = 80% +4.01 average damage per attack 5 stacks = 87% +4.34 average damage per attack 6 stacsk = 91% +4.56 average damage per attack SERIES:

Oh, I really like this card idea of yours, Odin.

This interacts with adrenaline the way I think it interacts with adrenaline, right?

[Aves]

A little on the strong side-- it's like momentum+precog+blessing all combined into one. While those are all cheap cards, I think this should be at least as expensive as blessing.

Does the 33% chance for +5 damage stack? Does the +5 damage stack? Regardless, this would be bloody amazing in Blessed Pegs. Vader Saders would love it too.

Updating the OP to reflect this...

Does the 33% chance for +5 damage stack? Does the +5 damage stack? Regardless, this would be bloody amazing in Blessed Pegs. Vader Saders would love it too.

The +5 damage does not stack, but the +33% chance does.
The chance stacking is geometric. E.g. chance = (1-(1-1/3)^stackCount)
1 stack = 33%
2 stacks = 56%
3 stacks = 73%
4 stacks = 80%
5 stacks = 87%
6 stacsk = 91%

This interacts with adrenaline the way I think it interacts with adrenaline, right?

Ya, its a potential balance issue under current code (see adrenaline interactions with hammer, shortbow, and dagger)
...so ya, this on a chrysaora (0 ATK base -> 5 attacks on adrenaline) would deal (on average):
8.3 damage (1 stack) - 3 cards
13.9 damage (2 stacks) - 4 cards
17.6 damage (3 stacks) - 5 cards
20.1 damage (4 stacks) - 6 cards
21.7 damage (5 stacks) - 7 cards
22.8 damage (6 stacks) - 8 cards

Note: with a single stack of this buff, the average damager per attack bonus is +1.66.

Now that I look at the adrenaline combo, I think you might be correct.

I think dropping the damage output might be the way I want to go though. Mainly because I wanted to give light a more splashable buff in the unupgraded meta.
