CURATOR COMMENT

• Please use the new Earth background image. It can be found in the Official Card Image Builder (http://xenocidius.webs.com/cardimagebuilder/index.html) and SevenSapien's editor.
• Fix the name of non-upgraded Broken Kagero. It says 'BrokenKagero'.

Seems like the amount of damage it deals is a bit too much.

Seems like the amount of damage it deals is a bit too much.

Why? Compared to how often it breaks? Think of Fog Shield; it breaks as much as creatures miss.

[Xenocidius]

Hmm, I just noticed the non-upgraded Broken Kagero image has the upgraded border. Please fix that.

This only deals an average 5-6 or so damage a turn. I think either the damage should be increased or the chance to break lowered.

What do you suggest rang-wise for both of those options? Which would be better, since both are viable?

[Xenocidius]

I'd say that, considering the upkeep cost, it should deal an average 9-10 damage per turn. This can be achieved:

a) By giving both weapons 12 damage, unupped 25% chance to break, upped 15% chance to break.
OR
b) By giving both weapons 25% chance to break, unupped 12 damage, upped 14 damage.

Failing both of those, a cost decrease to 2 would be good.

Image fixed. I'll wait to see what others think. I myself favor lowering the chance to break more than raising the damage.

[Xenocidius]

Here's a potential idea: what if, when targeted by a destroy effect, it broke instead of being destroyed? Then it may even be balanced as it is (though I still think the chance to break should be lowered, to, say, 25% for both).

that sounds good.

Wonderful idea. This would also give the strength theme that fits earth, like OldTrees said some time ago:

I did not expect to see Brittle in Earth. IHMO Earth has a subtheme of Strength. Pulverizer is strong enough to destroy other permanents with the help of  . Please explain how brittle/fragile/weak fits Earth in your opinion.

Just curious: How will it work with Skull Shield? 40%+12.5%? or the two calculations happen separately?

If flown, hmm, the chance to break happens when it attacks, whether flown or not, and poison also damages when attacking, so I'd say they occur separately.
