#Mime/Blackboard interaction?

Based on the way the cards are written, it seems Mime should reactivate Blackboard as it does with other Jokers, but it doesn't. If it shouldn't, it would be nice if this could be clarified somehow? Perhaps by altering the highlighting on the Mime's ability, as the highlighting on "Held in Hand" does feel the most misleading part of this interaction if Mime isn't compatible with Blackboard.

i think it's more of blackboards wording problem

#

blackboard triggers only if all cards held in hand are spades and clubs, but the cards themselves don't give the xmult, blackboard does

#

whilst mime on the other hand retriggers any +mult/xmult/miscellaneous effects caused by the cards themselves

Somehow changing the wording on blackboard could be a cleaner solution.

I think the explanation leaves something to be desired as the animations indicate other joker "Held in Hand" abilities being retriggered as well, such as Raised Fist, but I'm not so concerned with that as the text in the abilities themselves.

Raised Fist is kind of weird

#

but if you didn't noticed the Raised Fist makes the card itself gives the +mult

#

(this means that if the card is debuffed, no +mult for u)

So you're saying the Mime retriggers cards in hand that trigger Held in Hand abilities? Not that the mime is retriggering an ability containing the phrase Held in Hand?

I don't believe there is a wording that would make it clear that blackboard does not work with mime and raised fist does 🤷

#

That means for everyone, I personally only had issue with raised fist, I never assumed blackboard would work

#

Maybe raised fist could be changed to something like "Lowest ranked card held in hand gives double its rank to Mult", not sure if it sounds any more/less complicated

#

I do think specifying "ranked" card should help to clarify that it ignores stone cards

#

since that was one thing I was not 100% sure of until I tested it

Raised Fist is giving a card in your hand an ability, which is why mime retriggers it. However Blackboard only looks at the hand to decide whether its own (the joker itself) ability is triggered, so mime won't copy that. I can see how it may be confusing but this is certainly not a bug and personally I think the wording is fine.

#

To be fair, the Raised Fist wording hasn't been posted and maybe that's the confusing one. Blackboard and Mime look fine to me, is what I meant.

the wording is just bad

#

because it's not the cards themselves that do that effect

#

it's the joker

#

that's why it isn't effected

#

but Raised Fist should be changed a bit to make it work with mime

Maybe "Lowest card held in hard adds double its rank to Mult"? same amount of text, but slightly clarifies that the card is triggering, not the joker.

yeah raised fist wording should definitely be changed imo

#

not just for the mime interaction but also for ordering of effects
