The Trick Question Thread (Elements version)

If OD means overdrive, doesn't that increase the base attack as well?

Edit: Hmm. If not, how about a pest with overdrive, adrenaline, and eclipse to do 10 damage, then an explosion on the eclipse to do 12 damage on the second turn?

If that works, you win.  To test, go into trainer, drop that combo.  Hold your mouse over the creature immediately before you hit space.  If you end the turn and it's base attack is 0, you win.

just to clarify question 2
it's something with OD and adrenaline (like I mentioned before)

question 1, try 2: ash?

Question 1:  Nope.

How can a creature other than Rustler have an active skill and use it multiple times per turn?

Ray of Light's active skill is used multiple times per turn if effected by adrenaline.

Voodoo's skill is used multiple times per turn if it's targeted more than once.

Yup on RoL/Adrenaline!  Voodoo is passive and thus doesn't qualify, but good on Adrenaline!

Hmm. OD and adrenaline works really weirdly actually. The attack increases with each attack, but each increased attack gives the creature less attacks. I saw 5, 6, -3 damage from a pest with 2 attack (from eclipse) when I hit end turn. It ended with 11 attack. Yeah. Negative three.

I guess on the first attack, it increases to 5 and does the 5 damage. On the second, it increases to 8. A normal creature with 8 attack and adrenaline will do 6 damage on the second attack, so that makes sense too. However, a creature with 11 attack only does two attacks. That's probably why the third attack did -3.

anyone care to ask a question?

Why a creature with 2 attack, OD and adrenaline does -3 damage in its last attack? (supposing it has enough hp to do it) It's not tricky, but well, I guess it should be hard...

ask zanz?
perhaps it's even part of the mechanics, so that OD + adrenaline doesn't get too abused

Actually, I'm 99% sure it's purely mathematical... I guess I'll find it out by myself first *goes to trainer*

New question, no tricks, just deep mechanical knowledge needed: what are the eight ways to freeze an opponent's weapon?  (Hint: most of them are two-card combos.)   

[Krahhl]

1. Ice lance your opponent
2. Ice lance freeze a voodoo doll
3. Freeze a voodoo doll
4. Arctic octopus freeze a voodoo doll
4.5. (Mutant freeze a voodoo doll?)
5. Chaos seed freeze a voodoo doll
6. Pandemonium freeze a voodoo doll
7. Attack permafrost to freeze voodoo doll
8. Catapult a frozen creature

Uh.. 6 of those seem pretty much the same. If delay also counts as freeze, then you could basilisk blood a voodoo, delay it on a turtle shield, or catapult a delayed creature.

Off Topic?: Just thought I would answer this question because I was bored.
When OD and Adrenaline are combined a jump on the 2nd->3rd attack from an attack that give 3 attacks to an attack that give 2 attacks will cause a 3rd attack of -3. This does not happen for any other jump [antimatter helped test the 3rd->4th gap. Growth helped me test the 1st->2nd gap]
