ART: Ingame art for Adrenaline status icon IDEA: NOTES: My take on Life's way for shield bypass. This replaces the enemy's shield, and can also be countered by playing a shield. Basically a mass momentum, or chimera. This increases any incoming physical damage by 1, including from 0 attack creatures. This does not alter the gain from Adrenaline: 3 attack should deal 4/4/4/4 instead of 4/3/2. Spoiler for Hidden: Mechanically this should work like the weapon mark passives: It increases damage including those from 0 attack creatures. Technically this should also nullify -1 attack, but for thematic purposes, it should be set as an exception. 0 attack scorpions on Adrenaline only poison twice, like how it currently works for Devourer.

"Attacks deal 1 additional damage." refers to your damage right?

I either love this thing or hate this thing.

I'm getting closer and closer to the hate this thing category, but... Hey, death shields plus PC. I'll let it slide on coolness alone. Good Job.

...Grr.

9/10. Great card idea, although I would suggest 3 turns instead of 2.

It could last forever & be fine. Opponent can destroy it by playing a shield

Especially at that price

Exactly, it would make multiple shield draws more useful and thus reduce dead cards. I like it.

Wording should probably be "Shield: Increase damage taken by 1." though, to mirror existing shields somewhat while clarifying who takes more.

Alright, I'll do the proposed changes. Thanks!

[Chapuz]

Awesome card idea. 100/100. Balanced, powerful, useful and the mechanic and name fits the element.

extremely useful for my adrenaline frog deck

On that note, would frogs count as having 4 damage or 3 damage when used with adrenaline?

It should work like the other DR shields, affecting the attack after adrenaline is calculated, as stated in the notes.

Very intereresting.

Explosion/Pulverizer can also, respectively, explode/pulverize this disadvantageous shield, no?

This shield is one of those moments where creatures with momentum is at a disadvantage to those without it, damage-wise, I presume. CMIIW, of course.
