Acceleration | Overdrive

[Captain Scibra]

Well it's alright, especially since Gravity does have a need for some high hp synergy that leans towards attacking the opponent, since Catapult just didn't cover it (I still prefer taking advantage of it's defensive synergies with elements like Earth and its Pulverizer and Armor).  Also it being a little more long-term of an effect rather than a single shot from a Catapult is nice.

i can see this going well with darkness, but i cant seem to explain why... voodoo maybe?

[777]

 I like the idea of this card. Tested it alot yesterday.

Only creature that makes it seem reasonable to take place in deck is voodoo. But even with voodoo it's quite weak in comparsion to other builds. Or it's just other cards are OP.

Conclusion: It should be either cumulative, just as blessing and other buffs or don't remove active skill(like momentum and adrenaline) or both.

No offense, but you're on crack.  Overdrive is amazing, and if you could stack more than one on a creature, it would be absurdly amazing. 

The only thing you need to make it absolutely perfect is Mometum, which happens to be in the same element. 

[777]

No offense, but you're on crack.

Whoa! Whole PvP organizer is talking. I'd better go before gravity generated by your massive ego makes a black hole here!

Got any examples of 'absurdly amazing' builds? For now your uber killing machine needs 3+ cards to make and countered by one cheap card

Immolation golem rushes are easily beaten with decks that contain massive amount of creature controls.

Rainbow rushes are feeble against Black holes.

Purify counters poison stall perfectly.

Plague counters adrenaline [whatever creature].

Thunderstorm counters Fractal Phoenixes.


Most of the decks I've listed above some of the best decks in elements. They have specific counters, but that doesn't mean that they're bad decks.

And Essence deserves to have a massive ego that generates black hole (although i'd rather have that ego myself) because he's simply an awesome member of the community and an excellent deckbuilder.

Well, let's see -- how about a rush that has a consistent <10 turn avg. TTW vs. Halfbloods?

The beautiful thing about Overdrive is that the AI loves to Lobo is once your Charger is 16/2 or 19/1, at which point it doesn't die on it's own anymore and just sits there pummeling them.

See, you could think of Overdrive as a mediocre card that needs a 3-card combo to get started -- OR you can choose a combo that works with it, doesn't need as many cards, and still deals more than 200 damage in 8-10 turns.   Guess which one gives you the more appropriate balance level?

[777]

I guess AI will be tweaked for it too. And chargers are too vulverable.

My king-fu is better.

lv3 7-9 ttw. This is only build I could think of to make plain acceleration useful.

lv5 ~11 ttw. Can do with just animate weapon and overdrive upgraded.

Day of flying hammers, as i call it. But it requires 6 titans so i can't build it in actual game.
My point still stands. It's will be better cumulative.

[Ekki]

My point still stands. It's will be better cumulative.

The problem is that cumullative, it'll be broken. That simple. It would need a raise in its cost, making it less useful by itself and only good using 6 in a deck (pure balance maths). It would end like Chimera. A VERY situational card that is UP in most cases, and seem OP in some others. That's bad.

I still don't know what are you basing off to say it needs a buff. You can see there are lots of good deckbuilds around acceleration/overdrive, but you seem to say "it's UP" because you can't use it. I say you should try some previously tested decks. If it works, why it should need a Buff/Nerf? There are cases when this happens, but I want to hear your opinion.

[777]

Initially I was posting my impressions on plain card. And it's quite weak.

The problem of gravily that it lacks strong attackers so it'll be of use anyway.
I'm not saying it shold be 3|-1 AND cumulative. Maybe overdrive can be be 1-2 2|-1

For now elite version almost twice more effective for no real cost of quanta(since towers give +1 ).
If it has to be that way, i think 2|-1 3 vs 4|-2 6 is more reasonable. At least ratio is kept. Plain is more rainbow-friendly that way and upped more specialized for mono-duo-trio decks.

Massive Dragons are now useful again.  Flying Titans are incredibly useful now.  Quick question.  Is this lobotomizable?

Yes, it's an ability like any other, also meaning using this removes the old ability.
