Halberd | Bardiche

[coinich]

NAME: Halberd ELEMENT: Other COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 6|4 TEXT: Weapon: Deal 6 damage at the end of every turn You cannot equip shields	NAME: Bardiche ELEMENT: Other COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 9|4 TEXT: Weapon: Deal 9 damage at the end of every turn You cannot equip shields

ART: Zblader IDEA: coinich NOTES: Playing a shield will discard this card.  Playing this card will discard your shield.  Probably the simplest card I've made so far. :p Flying stats would be 6|4 and 9|4 for the unupgraded and upgraded respectively. SERIES:

nice, but it would be following the classic rule of weapon cost power stuff. This would apply even more if you can't play a shield. I would say to make the cost only 6 for unupped, 5 for upped.

Weapon cost power stuff?  whuzzat?  Also note its other, meaning Novas and SNovas can cast it very easily, but monos can handle it too.

2 handed weapon, so no shield. Looks good.
Now, for curator preparation. (kind of)
I believe the Flying stats go in the atk/hp tab.
and in the notes, you said discard. My initial implication was that it's in the hand, when it's on the field. But then i remembered you do use discard like this.
For the card image, i think the curator will want to know who "me!" is, so you should probably put Coinich

Weapons should try to cost the same upgraded and unpped.

I like it!!! Also, I have a few cards I wanna post but cant due to some things, so here are the names of cards I would have posted

Ninja
Dementia
Shark
Centurion Wall
Fissure

and some others

[Rutarete]

Oh, card change. This + (mutation with) Endow = Ownage!

[OldTrees]

This should cost 10 maximum.
It probably should cost less.

Upgraded says Halberd when it should be Bardiche. I agree with a slightly lower cost as well, and I really like the idea of a two-handed weapon - especially with Crusaders.

Balancing time.

Comparing to Dagger and Short Bow.

Dagger: 2 (attack) + 1 (booster ability) - 3 (permanent slot) = 0
Short Bow: 3 (attack) + 1 (booster ability) - 3 (permanent) + 1 (ranged) = 2

This: 9 (attack) - either 2 or 3 (negative ability) - 3 (permanent slot) = 4 or 5, adding, say, 2 because it's in Other.

very nice mechanic, id like to contribute to a series of two handed weapons and/or defensive weapons and/or offensive sheilds or smething, new stuff for weapon and shield.


this in particular is a bit Underpowered for the cost, maybe 8 Other? At this cost, it should stop weapon attacks too, you know since its a pole arm, makes up for the shield, titan would still penetrate.

Dagger: 2 (attack) + 1 (booster ability) - 3 (permanent slot) = 0

I would definitely suggest it be higher than 2 so that it does not greatly eclipse Hammer
(I would also contest Ranged counting as +1 since airborne does not and web is situational)
Short Sword: 3 (attack) -3 (Weapon) = 0 elemental = 1 other = 1
Hammer: 4 (attack) - 3 (Weapon) = 1 elemental = 2.5 other = 2
[Equation used: 1+1.5E=O]
Halberd: 9 (attack) -3 (Weapon) -C (2 handed) = 6-C elemental = 10-1.5C other = 8.5 of C=1

Personally I think that Short Sword [3], Hammer [4] --> Halberd [9] is a huge exaggeration. Short Sword [3], Hammer [4] --> Halberd [6] would fit my experience from D&D and other RPGs much better.

Halberd [6|9] would cost
Halberd: 6 (attack) -3 (Weapon) -C (2 handed) = 3-C elemental = 5.5-1.5C other = 4 of C=1
