Just finnished googling what fluctuate means: Verb: Rise and fall irregularly in number or amount.
Just 1 questions; Why does the upgraded version have 4|7 instead of 7|4??
Why would you want to upgrade the card?? Please explain.
Nice idea though, very interesting....

I thought the exact same thing when I first looked at the card.

Also, the att/hp stats move around between fluxes, right?  So what if you allowed the hp to go to 0?  Then you could have the chance that 1 flux will die like a spark and the other ones will have some of the stats still moving around.  Of course some points will have been lost because one of the fluxes died... But it's the result of a entropic environment!

I do like the idea of the increase or decrease being limited by 5 like chaos power. And possibly make it so that the range is 0-5 instead of 1-5...?

I'd like to see this card paired with chaos power :D
cheers ^.^

Why does the upgraded version have 4|7 instead of 7|4??
The unupgraded has a higher initial attack. With the Flux passive, the attack is likely to stay higher and be more suitable as a mid-high range attacker. When upgraded, it starts off with a much more sturdy Hp, with which you can use for other buffs such as Rage Potion and Overdrive.

So, the reason for the switch is the use of the card.

@Blahs I'll think about letting the Flux reach 0 hp.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

I think many people would like to pay 6 :entropy for a 7|4 card. I do not think many people would like to pay 6 :entropy for an upped 4|7 card.

6 :entropy for 4|7. Interesting ability? Nah, (from what I gather, the fluxing will average out to a net zero gain).

What if the skill were made to be an active skill that could be lobotomized?
So that once you get a set of stats you like, you can lobotomize it to get it stuck with those stats.
-- Much like a steam machine.

And I do agree with Fur, if it stays how it is, there is an overall average net gain of attack of 0.  (same chances to gain and lose attack and hp)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

The way it goes is: Flux attacks, stats move to another Flux. Next Flux attacks, stats shift etc, etc. I see why you say there's a net gain of 0, but you just can't predict it. Lobotomizing would offer more strategy to its use, so I guess I'll change the ability to active.

If that doesn't change your opinion, what do you think about having only one stat (hp or attack) shift at a time. This way, with another choice for the code to make, there's less of a chance of evening out (at least as quickly, however many turns it might end up taking).

Also, any ideas for art?
