Taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-tak. Panels across Beefeater Prime's body open up, every single piece of armor now pulled aside to reveal the gleaming tips of hundreds of micromissiles. Before Tempomaster can take advantage of the exposed Beefeater Prime, a voice comes in over the stadium intercom, "Who thinks it time to clean this clock's clock?" As the audience cheers, the missiles come pouring out, filling the entirety of Colosseum 12 with wave after wave after wave of explosions.

"B-Bakana! How could have withstood my final blow?!" Tempomaster scrambles to fire its other arm's weapon! "Die!"

[RoseHeart]

TURN 4

  TEMPOMASTER IS DESTROYED! BEEFEETER PRIME WINS!
  
  Instead of a handshake, we are going to start a new tradition. Would the competitors now select a card from their own deck to trade. The opponent must use this card in their next match.

"Impossible!" shouts Tempomaster, blowing up. "Faster, faster than even I... That... is... impossible!!!"

 KERBOOOOOOOMMMmmmmm

Any changes you want to critique/request?

I have to trade you Missile Overload, because Rending Blade is actually broken and does not work properly, and I ran the math and Ceasless Assault goes far, far beyond what I meant it to do. The way I used it here had a 75% chance to destroying your mech, the equivalent of dealing 32 damage, already quite extreme. If you had been at 10 damage instead of 8, though, that jumps to a 91% chance to destroy your mech, or 111 damage. At priority 6 and perfectly accurate. Yeesh. To be fair, your Rapid Fire does the same thing with enough luck, but not to this extreme. You max out at Rapid Fire into x2 Dino-Destroying Dive, but even with the luck to have those be your next two cards, you still only have a one in four chance of hitting with both, so starting at 10 damage you do on average the equivalent of an 8 damage perfect accuracy attack, or at maximum the equivalent of a 30 damage attack.

Multiple hits per turn should be illegal from now on, although not neccesarily banned outright. Here's a way to test this stuff if you want it, roseheart. http://anydice.com/program/dedb The current configuration is modeling two 5 damage attacks with accuracy 3 (i.e. Rapid Fire into double Dino-Destroying Dive) hitting a mech at 10 damage.

You seem to be forgetting "deals only one point of unpreventable damage per hit". Notice they had gained 6 damage, total.

i'm glad you put a lot of meaningful thought into this because honestly i'm just happy to be blown up and be part of an anime

[RoseHeart]

I am totally imagining it's like a Yu-Gi-Oh battle except for instead of watching from the sidelines the kids / players are inside the mechs and they are punching the cards into the mech's control panel

I had started to draw a manga but it never went anywhere. Mostly in favor of expediency.

How about the turn phases, anything you would change there?

If you're pretty confident you're going to play the card that's going to make you win I can see how you may feel motivated to wait until your opponent goes first. Is that true, did you feel that way and, is there someway I should help to facilitate that?

[Sl4cker]

I diiiiiiiid

[RoseHeart]

thot so.

[The Ensorceler]

I assumed you were doing a separate damage roll for each hit. Sure, if you survive it goes back to six damage, but on the turn you get hit it would have been ridiculously strong. Multiple damage rolls was sort of the whole point of Ceasless Assault... Oh well, one out of three cards working as intended was enough to win me the game, I can't complain too much.

I like the use of Beefeater Prime's head as a helmet on my protagonist.

What's my loan card, Sl4cker?

[RoseHeart]

You intended it to have 6 damage that converts to 1 x 6?

I just had it do 6 1 damage attacks..


I had been/am(?) playing with the idea of using toy mechs(specifically ones with ball joints and interchangeable parts). I got a bag of goodies with such pieces at a thrift store, but less of them were usable than I expected I can't even make one robot.

I'm not sure I'm communicating this right. I thought I would have five chances to kill Tempomaster on my last turn. First attack hits, 9 total damage done, cumulative 0% chance Tempomaster is dead. Second attack hits, 10 total damage done, roll 1 in 10 chance tempomaster dies cumulative 10% chance Tempomaster is dead. Third attack hits, 11 total damage done, roll 2 in 11 chance Tempomaster dies, cumulative 26.36% chance Tempomaster is dead. Fourth attack hits, 12 total damage done, roll 3 in 12 chance Tempomaster dies, cumulative 44.77% chance Tempomaster is dead. Fifth attack hits, 13 total damage, roll 4 in 13 chance Tempomaster dies, cumulative 61.77% chance Tempomaster is dead. Sixth attack hits, total damage taken is 14, roll 5 in 14 chance Tempomaster dies, cumulative 75.42% chance Tempomaster is dead

The equivalent of a 75% chance to kill Tempomaster is a 30 out of 40 roll, or starting from 8 damage a single 32 damage attack. Even if most of the equivalent damage is "healed" at the end of the turn, that's still far too powerful. If you only rolled to see if Tempomaster died once, then my card did not work as intended, but I won't use that effect again, so it doesn't matter too much.

[RoseHeart]

It did. He died on the second, when I rolled a 11 of 11(ouch!)

I'm sorry E I'm sharing this.

You little devil.

Omae mou wa shindaeru.

However, I would say Riposte would have likely defeated you.
