Welcome, one and all, to another rousing game of BattleCON! I'm your host, ActingPower. Let's see who our contestants are today.

In the left corner, we have the time-traveling hero, Luc von Gott! He'll be played by GMarshal.

In the right corner, we have the fugitive dryad alchemist, Lixis Ran Kanda! She'll be played by Gutter Owl.

Can Lixis catch the slippery engineer, or will he run circles around her? Can Luc avoid Lixis' poisonous touch, or will he succumb to the draining power? That's all up to you.





We always love spectators, so don't forget to stop by and comment on how the game's going. Give away all of your best strategies; that can't possibly go wrong! :yayclod:

Lixis seems really strong in the mid-range, and Naturalizing and Lance are both pretty big issues for Luc. Still, a bunch of Lixis's styles are REALLY slow and this can turn fast.

All right. Starting attack pair time.
Luc, please include your ante in your PM.
Lixis, if you'd like to prime the base you want to Withering Touch if you hit, that'd be great as well.

All that planning for naturalizing shot and then it turned out to be vines instead. Since its up to two, she's going to get to put me wherever she wants regardless of my advance, so Do not advance

Spending one token to advance. I believe that should put my total number of tokens at the start of the beat at 4. (Started with five, spent one during the ante phase, went down to 4, spent one more to advance 1, went to 3, gained one at end of beat)

Going to ditch Strike.

ActingPower
Jun 4, 2013

Well, congratulations, you two. You both decided to Cancel. Give me a second while I figure out what that does. I believe it's, "Both are nullified, Special Action cards go to Discard 1."

Yes.

FAQ posted:

Q: Pulse vs Cancel vs Finisher; What happens when two of those are played the same beat?

A: The order of resolution is Pulse, then Cancel, and finally Finisher. If a Pulse meets a Cancel/Finisher the Pulse is resolved as normal but the Cancel/Finisher doesn't take effect. Instead the Special Action and base cycle to discard 1 and the player has an additional style available for 2 beats. If a Cancel meets a Finisher the Finisher doesn't take effect and the Special Action and base are placed in discard 1 just as if it was a normal attack pair. If two instances of the same Special Action meet each other (and clash in case of Finishers) the Special Action cards are placed in discard 1, the bases are returned to their respective hands and new attack pairs are played just as if a Cancel was played.

I just got Luc's next attack pair in, but he reminded me of a mistake I made. Apparently he had actually anted at the start of this beat, but I missed it. Does +1 Priority on his part change anything?

Really should have said "yes, I'd like to change." Not because ActingPower was giving a tell there, but because anteing for priority should have indicated that you weren't going for Flash like I was suspecting.
