Forum Expert Task [Round 2]

[dawn to dusk]

Spoiler for Elements The (Alternate) Game:

If Elements The Game was not a card game, we propose the idea for it to be a Turn Based, Pet Collecting-Esque style game. It consists of 12 characters, each with a series of abilities named after, and inspired by, Standard EtG card and ability names. The names of these characters are inspired by the names of the pure Element Half Bloods.

Spoiler for Standard Rules:

Standard Rules are as follows:

• Turn Based, one person takes their action, then the other. Coin Flip starts the match.
• Up to 3 characters to a team.
• Each character starts with 50hp.
• Substitutions are standard. DoT and HoT (Damage/Healing over time respectively) effects remain until switched in again, other effects like Stasis do not. Counters on abilities like Bolt reset.
• Objective is to reduce all opponent's Characters' hp to 0.
• The examples of abilities below do not account for the full amount of abilities. Furthermore, a character may only be able to have up to 5 abilities at any one time.

Spoiler for Elemental Characters & Ability Examples for each:

Entropy - Discord
Scramble - Deal 3 damage. Your opponent can not use a random ability next turn.

Spoiler for Other Notes:

• I suppose the game would primarily be downloaded so that it can support frequent balance updates.
• Campaign would be similar to the acquiring of classes in games such as HearthStone, however an extended, and more themed campaign would most likely be included at some point.
• Primarily PvP, of course, due to the above point.
