Hello.

Here are my ideas to improve Elements currently existing elements, to create new comboes, to simply have more fun playing that awesome game if Zanzarino wants to/can add them. Like other topic, about new element, i will update cards with your feedbacks, to improve and balance them. I'll add my new cards ideas on existing elements here, with a message to notify about the update of that first post.

A big problem, as usual with me, are names. I'm lacking of names ideas. Once again, do not hesitate to propose some.
(i'm lacking too of fire, earth, water and dark mark images, if anyone has the patience to upload them)

Here we start...

I love your ideas... i don't have the time to read everything right now, but i think your pillars (the only thing i managed to read) should be implemented right now :D great... just a question... if with supportive pillar you have 0 quanta of 9-10 elements (it happens with mono/dual) what does it do?

Oh yeah, i forgot to say about these cases. For the 2 pillars where there are the "equal" cases, then it adds a random quantum to those "equal amounts" ones.

I really like the fake shield idea. This card may force players to add in deflag to kill their own shields since steal can't do a shit haha :/

Maybe regenerative pillar should have its cost reduced to 2/1... 3 is a bit too much for just one pill... even tho it heals...

 

anything
