This week's
challenge is yet again related to Yabapmatt but this time we don't have to hunt him down and bring him to justice via in-game means but actually come up with a design for a potential Summoner-Inspired Card by his humble persona. As you probably know there already was a proposal for the creation of Yabapmatt promo card which passed successfully the DAO voting stage so it is only a matter of time until we actually do get an Yaba promo. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
Yaba the Burninator is a well-know servant of the Chaos Legion, who has set more cities and villages on fire than he really cares to remember. That, of course, has drawn the attention of all of our heroes - Bera, Dalya, Elias and even Tofu are on his trail, and judging by their track record, they will catch him before he manages to board one of the Empire's flagships and jump into another sector of the Praetorian Solar System.
So, now for the card itself:
Fel Magic - The main ability of Yaba is called "Fel Magic" and what is does is that it changes the Magic Attack of all Casters on his team from a regular Magic Attack to Fel Magic Attack. Since Fel Magic is a completely new type of a Magic Attack, our heroes have not yet figured out how to stop or mitigate its damage so no abilities which affect Magic Damage, affect it. This means that Void, Void Armor and Phase have no effect, which makes Fel Magic really, really powerful as your caster team can quickly decimate the unsuspecting enemy. Of course, no absolute power comes without a drawback (hint: they usually ask for your soul in exchange), however, this time your line-up will just potentially take Burning damage each turn due to the fact that Yaba comes with one of the new Debilitations - Incendiary (reapplies Burning at the beginning of each round. Burning has a 33% chance to spread to adjacent Units at the beginning of each round, and then all Burning Units lose 2 health. Burning can be cleansed). Yaba is known as the Burninator after all so what else did you expect?
Apart from the two main abilities, Yaba can provide 1 Unit with Affliction/Ambush or Double Strike/Camouflage during the Tactics stage of the battle. I think Double Strike is generally the easy choice but sometimes Ambush on the right Unit can make a big difference on the battlefield.
Oh, and I almost forgot - his cost is 8 Mana, and as you can probably noticed he's also a Dual-Summoner - the elements available to him are Water and Death. But how can he be an arsonist if he's not into the Fire element you may ask, well, have you heard of Greek Fire? ;-) Yeah, the Chaos Legion have their own version of it.
Over and Out,
