like the idea of multiple upgrade options! Could lead to all sorts of trouble great ideas!  :D
Well, it's not impossible or insanely hard to implement. Just make it so that when you press "Upgrade", it does a brief 50/50 calculation (like flipping a coin), and then gives you either Swordsmaster Higs or Assasain Higs depending on the result, heads or tails/1 or 2. 


...You like this card don't you rohlfo? ;)
I know, it leads to some great options! (although also the need to get more  :electrum to get all upgrades....maybe you should be able to choose upgrade?)
I do like it, and do think optional/alternate upgrades could open up a whole new world in Elements, the potential is so big I'm not even sure how to start working it into new ideas!

-Please change the name of the card to a non-forum member's username.
-Dual-upgrading options can break the game.~


~ = I think this would give Zanz a major headache if he tried implementing this card. Can it be done? Highly unlikely - the idea that these cards would randomly upgrade into one or the other just seems like a spelling for disaster, as you'd have to deal with the consequences of people trying to get one certain type of upgrade (not to mention, it could make one upped version less desired than the other). The concept of having different upgrade options in itself shouldn't be a card mechanic, and if it was, then the whole system of upgrading would literally need to be redone in order for this card idea to succeed as a whole.

Otherwise, the idea of it attacking three times on occasion is a much more reasonable and logical choice compared to the invisibility trick.

Alright then. How hard would it to be to code a choice of what the card could become as rohflo suggested?  Is that possible in any way?

Also, different upgrade versions = different uses.  Swordsmaster is clearly for an Adrenaline, while Assasain offers a potential alternative to Immortal. Both of these classes can be acquired by leveling up the Myrmidon in FE: Sacred Stones, and I'm interested in seeing how this plays out in elements.

Based on what you said, name will be changed and people will be given an upgrade choice.

I have no clue to be honest. But I don't think people in general would want to deal with a card with multiple upgrade options, unless it applied to other cards (otherwise, it just feels like two separate ideas, and creates bias in one or the other, even with a given choice of either upgrade, which then defeats the purpose of the choice to begin with, etc.).

Also, different upgrade versions = different uses.  Swordsmaster is clearly for an Adrenaline, while Assasain offers a potential alternative to Immortal. Both of these classes can be acquired by leveling up the Myrmidon in FE: Sacred Stones, and I'm interested in seeing how this plays out in elements.
I see what you're saying here, but the current system (unless Zanz changes a key code somewhere) only allows for 1:1 card upgrade ratio choices, rather than having one card upgrade to a plethora of cards (i.e. - a spell with 7 different upgrading variants that the player can choose from). I really don't know how this would play out in Elements, but I'm biting my thumb here; the potential chaos of 'different upgrade versions = different uses' just makes it less appealing compared to direct upgrades from separate card concepts.

Hehe. Myrmidons, people of the sword, true aspirants of the sword, seek to become one with the sword and eliminate their own sense of self. It is an aspiration to ascension. They live to ascend, most of them highly disciplined, thus they work in Aether, the divine element.
(Swordmaster upgrade is even called Kensei in Japanese. Means Sword Saint. In English, the class was Trueblade.)

Nitpicks: the class is called Swordmaster, not Swordsmaster. Assassin is also misspelt.
:aether  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/guilds/991-thunderbolts-ho!-991/ :aether
Aether is the prime Element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all Elements to exist.
Aether represents the sense of joy and union, and the ultimate potential of all things.

Fun bit of triva to know whenever you play Fire Emblem.  Strangley enough I wasn't thinking about that part until I looked up how to spell myrmidon.


Nitpicks: the class is called Swordmaster, not Swordsmaster. Assassin is also misspelt.

Fixed on the table and Fixed on the card image, Kuraitou, change the card image please.
