In that case, there's a theoretical option for either Ash or the alligator to tank the Flame Demon hit. As long as Lina is next to the Sun Demon and it's below 3hp by the end of Pikachu's turn, it will definitely die and not get any additional attacks in. If rampage is held as the last action, the move can put either one in range of the flame demon's focus as long as the Sun Demon has passed the damage threshold for it to die from retaliate.

Not sure if it's the right move but the option is out there.

I think this is precisely the right move.
1.) Lina moves next to the sun demon (E4) to guarantee targeting. Lina generic attack 2s the sun demon to hopefully whittle it down after the bear and croc attack to get it < 4 HP. Lina major stamina potions back COLD FIRE, REVIVING ETHER, and MANA BOLT. (these are my orders btw)
2.) Splinter double attacks the earth demon (which sadly will heal some of that back, but w/e)
3.) Bear and croc attack the demon. Pikachu commands the bear to go be equidistant so it can draw fire from Hail.
4.) Sun demon attacks Lina (and hopefully only Lina) for no damage and kills itself
5.) Earth demon heals
6.) Flame demon attacks a summon instead of Hail, generates fire
7.) Lina consumes that fire next turn with Cold Fire and a bow of piercing to hopefully take the damned thing out

Honestly, I'd rather the Earth demon die quick-like. These things don't gently caress around when they get around to hitting. Hail can take a little lick (besides, I'll heal her some next turn)

Let's see what we have going for damage:

Earth Demon with start with an attack for 3, an attack for 3 at advantage and an attack for 3 at advantage with poison. That's 10 out of 15 without modifiers.

Sun Demon will get attacked by Ash for 2 -1 shield, then the alligator for 3-1 shield, then Ash again for 3 piercing and finally 3 from Lina's retaliate (if applicable). That's 9 out of 8 without modifiers.

The bottom of Rampage and the top of Mana Bolt are the two remaining sources of damage. So maybe the best option is for Lina to step next to the Sun Demon and then shoot the Earth Demon for 2+poison. Then we would only need to get to +2 out of a total of 6 card flips. Not bad odds! That would allow the bottom of Rampage to be used in descending order to 1. Drop the sun demon below 3 if it isn't already, 2. kill the earth demon if it isn't already dead, or 3. take a hit from the flame demon.

A crit from the flame demon would be EXTREMELY bad and I'd really rather we didn't have to worry about it. The gator or something can occupy the earth demon.

I can also tank the earth demon next turn, though that'd mean we 100% need to have a summon go draw fire away from Hail since I wouldn't be there.

It might also be time to start thinking about wall glitching hail to the bottom

# ? Sep 30, 2020 18:30

Kobal2: Apr 29, 2019

Let's see, we're at the halfway mark. The next turns we'll get :

5 : Shadow Demon top, Wind bottom
6 : Frost bottom, Sun top
7 : Earth top, Fire bottom
8 : Shadow bottom, Wind top
9 : Frost top, Sun bottom
(10 is of course irrelevant)

So top gets Shadow, Sun, Earth, Wind, Frost while bottom will get Wind, Frost, Fire, Shadow, Sun.

In the long run, it looks like the top is marginally safer for glitching, the only big threats being Shadow at this EOT, then Wind much later - Earth is pretty much a non factor as long as it's distracted/immobilized, Sun is tough but usually not the worst damage wise, Frost will only have one turn to make itself relevant.

I'll be sending Ash up north guys, although whether he attacks Fire or Shadow is gonna be up to him. Shadow is both the most likely and the better result though.

A second member of the Goonmind joins this proposal. Everyone and their alligator is in the bottom half, it seems a decent timing to glitch Hail out of bounds.

E: I think Scurry and Perverse Edge for Master Splinter? Top move and bottom stun + ice. Not bolding that right now though because an Ice demon is out and they love ice, we could use Hostile Takeover instead.

The blue one is Wind, so we're safe on ice. I do like the idea of Hostile Takeover though. If we swapped the Wind Demon into the center, it could be used to disarm one of the other ones.

E. The fastest the swap could occur is 07 and the fastest Splinter can execute Hostile Takeover is 08. The Wind Demon has a 04 initiative in its deck but the space it would move to is good for the swap also.

E2. There is a not-insignificant chance that we will lose before any of us get to go.

Hail should survive 1 attack that's faster than we can get her out of harm's way. Two will be...difficult. But I think that's only like a 1/32 chance that both the flame and night demons BOTH get to go before us.

OK, we have options here.

A) We could brainhack Wind to make it disarm Fire, then Lina tanks Shadow and hopefully kills Fire in one shot (w/ bow+goggles). That seems like the safest option, but leaves us with a mostly unharmed disarming Wind demon (I doubt the pets+Splinter will be able to ding it much, and he'll heal to boot)

B) We could instead hack Fire to let it wound both of the others, but that would mean Lina has to shoot someone else and we're left with a healthy Fire demon to deal with next turn, and without an element to eat this time.
.
C) We could brainhack Shadow but that seems like the worst option, except as a safety plan : he'd finish off Fire if Lina can't do it, and harm itself in the process. But if that fails, we'll have two people wounded.

Pondering this bounty of choices, I think swapping Wind and doing option A is best. Thoughts ?

Wind will attack Night if hacked and swapped with Hail. Same distance, lower initiative.

E: I think we should hack fire. Wind will disarm the gator (Ash can be sent away) and do we really care about the gator.
Additionally, the gator is forcing disadvantage on wind this turn with its immobilize (it has immobilize right?) because wind is ranged.

Fire can be dealt with with pierce.

E2: if Pikachu goes down to 7 init we decide the tiebreaker with Lina on who counts as having lower initiative. Options:
Ash < gator < skeleton < Pikachu < Megumin
Megumin < Ash < etc etc etc

I'd recommend hacking fire. I have a mana potion I can use to generate an element for next turn (thinking fire, since Splinter will probably do something to generate ice, which will thus allow me a massive hit AND a stun as a fallback). Meanwhile, the night demon is pretty badly injured and liable to kill itself on me next turn.

proposed orders for lina:
1.) Move 4 to G2
2.) Consume the fire to add +1 to mana bolt, attack the night demon with the goggles
3.) Short rest, protect reviving ether
4.) Pop the mana potion, generate ICE

I do, but it's another loss, which'd besides the "controlling where bear goes" aspect would also leave me with 6 cards pre-rest. I'd really rather have 7 and not have to rest a second time before scenario ends (if my math is right).

That being said, a disarmed bear isn't the end of the world, I have poo poo I can be doing besides attacking next turn. Speaking of which, TIG, does Hail count as a summoned ally ?

Actually, if I act before Lina, and she moves to I2 or J2 (or B2 C2 if you want to shoot shadow) then Croc won't budge and Wind will focus on Croc after swap - and we don't much care about that. Might even not kill it.

I don't think there's a rush with the mana potion, didn't know Lina had one.
Although I wouldn't use the goggles on the shadow demon : hurting it a lot this turn doesn't really make a difference (it'll eat retaliation twice, so only 2HP worth of damage are enough), whereas next turn we *absolutely* want to kill the fire demon in one go.

Old Dun Cow: Sep 5, 2006

Here's a thought: What if we switch Hail with Lina instead? Then she could attack the Flame Demon for 3 piercing/advantage and move next to it. Splinter can use Hostile Takeover to immobilize the demon so that it attacks her at disadvantage and kills itself on the retaliate. The night demon will also eat a retaliate and the wind demon will get a little beat up and then disarm the alligator, maybe.

e. Eh, now that I think about it, the Night Demon hit won't be reduced by frost armor because the first pip will be used up from the Flame Demon retaliate. Doesn't seem worth Lina getting knocked around for 5.

Voting Lina moves to E2 and shoots the Flame Demon with Mana Bolt, consuming fire and using bow + goggles. Splinter moves to G2 with Scurry top and attacks Wind Demon. Uses Hostile Takeover bottom to control Flame Demon if alive, on no one if it is dead. I think that Pikachu needs to go first so that Ash moves to B3 and the alligator doesn't move or otherwise the Wind Demon will disarm Lina.

- Swamp Alligator focuses Night Demon 3! Moves2 to E2.
- Spirit Warrior focuses Night Demon 3! Moves1 to E3.

Well then...I don't think anyone was planning on this table state after Pikachu's turn was done (Kobal2 has sent a contingency in case the menagerie had killed the Wind Demon, but I don't think the Croc was supposed to be a focus for potentially both demons at this point). I don't normally stop updates midway through since we are playing in an asynchronous way, but I presume most plans are going to change now. And since the thread is directly controlling the remaining 2 players for the day, I'll stop the update here and give Kobal2 a moment to consider how they want to play Spirit Swap and I'll allow the thread to reconsider their StepB orders for Lina and Splinter.

EDIT: also please let me know if you'd prefer either the Spirit or the Croc to move to the other valid hex instead of the current one! Not super relevant for the Spirit, but the Croc becomes the focus for the Night Demon only by moving into C2.

I'll resume the update as soon as we have reached a consensus.

Omobono: Feb 19, 2013; That's it! No more hiding in tomato crates! It's time to show that idiota Germany how a real nation fights!

For pasta~! CHARGE!

Just..
Just

Swap with Ash? It's still somewhat out of the way for spawn b.
Maybe with Lina, we can distract b-spawners the hard way and it's round 6 anyways.

Should we use Scurry as just a move or eat the retaliate into the face?

I'd say move to H1, don't attack, hack fire and we're in position to melee stun Fire and ranged stun Night next turn without removing ice.

E: actually we could glitch Hail with the Night? Splinter moves G2 + attack, hack Fire, we reposition top and call it a day?
