KV-2 currently allows heavy armor to block order damage to friendly units. However the mysterious third damage type still gets through; Akita, No. Commando etc
Perhaps KV-2 should allow heavy armor to negate all damage types to friendly units.
#KV-2 damage reduction to heavy armor

I mean, the wording does only said order damage so maybe its intentional? But yeah it should probably also block those

Yes it specifically is meant to stop orders
So CMs, Deployment effects, or anything that is not an order or combata will still deala full daamage

I was just thinking it could be a fun change

They should just put it down as: all damage to friendly units is reduced by its heavy armour
Also would it be phrased better to say their HA or is it the kv2 armour its going off

I think its fine if it blocks only order damage that way you have some more counter play options.
twin spoke
there's no need to counter play it because it's not good
make it better
also also a real good suggestion is clarifying the different types of damage lol
the fact fatigue damage doesn't count as damage continues to baffle people
compact barn
Can you clarify what you mean by that? It says order damage on the card. Are you worried about orders that make you draw?

This, unless you meant for it to be a separate suggestion independent of the card?
twin spoke
yes
see the next message
it's a relevant concern when dealing with stuff like akita

akita!
compact barn
I think it’s fine since Akita’s ability is not an order. It’s a destruction ability. Especially since it says order
twin spoke
okay, i think you misread
i said the types of damage should be clarified
because akitas damage and fatigue damage, for example, are just entirely different from combat or order and that's weird, fatigue damage isnt even considered damage
and the suggestion is 'kv2 should stop all damage'
compact barn
I see so you were referring to your own version of KV2 not the presented one
Though in which case we won’t have to worry about fatigue right?
twin spoke
no?
thats not
i didnt make the suggestion nor is that what i said
i said the types of damage should be clarified
compact barn
Yes for the KV2 card right?
twin spoke
no?
the types of damage should be clarified
that has
nothing to do with kv2 that's just saying things should be clear
whats confusing
compact barn
Ok was just confused since you were suggesting it in the KV2 thread. So I thought you wanted the KV2 damage reduction to be clarified
twin spoke
yes
all damage should be clarified
it's tangential but related to the kv2 suggestion, yes
do you know what clarified means im confused on whats confusing
compact barn
May I suggest making a separate suggestion for it then?
twin spoke
i can handle it i promise
compact barn
Good I guess?
twin spoke
great!

When I read suggestions like this, I understand why 1939 pays zero attention to this channel

But KV-2 has been the meme for so long
It would be a just reward 😄
But yeah the armor resist is pretty nice but doesn't apply to anything that one shots, deployments, or destruction effect. Nor does it works against countermeasures.
It's great to avoid the Hammer or really bolsters against board wipes like Carpet Bombing, and if you got 2 or more KV2, effect applies twice, so you can basically shrug Project Manathan also.
But that's really really rare, and resisting dmg from cards like Commandos passive 1dmg would be cool.

I think the current state is good

If it resists all inluding combat damage, I will make a deck that focuses solely on taking the Soviet Union down, in flames
twin spoke
it... already resists combat damage
full sentinel
I mean on top of the already existing heavy armor, making it reduce 4 instead of 2
shy stump
thats overkill
twin spoke
that wouldnt even make sense
shy stump
you'd just end up with an unkillable KV2
unless you have hard removal
and excluding immunity, nothing should resist true damage like akita or commandos
cards like those are balanced around doing true damage at the cost of being completely random
full sentinel
Precisely

I realized friendly orders like ennemy at the gates are not doing dmg.
Didn't think it worked for friendlies too

I love all the discussion about the mighty KV-2, it was the Commandos random damage which got me thinking about the damage reduction.

Like it isn't hella strong already, why make it even stronger?

Like it isn't hella strong already, why make it even stronger?
Because it was a meme tank for years, and it's a sweet revenge (unserious answer)
twin spoke

it's not hella strong
cursive cedar
it's not hella strong
agreed, it requires a bit of luck and a specially built deck to get the most out of it. Even then, it can easily be supressed or bombed.

Which is exactly why i run british CMs
Most of decks have 1 or 2 direct order for that kind of shit and keep it for bigger, once they realize you're going tanks
twin spoke
fucked up how we need this most now

this change + 2 or 3 KV-2s = board of pre-nerf calis

Nah, definitely not needing a nerf, it's just order dmg -1, not "reduce everything to 1" tho
It's good when it's there but it's far from game breaking either

I put guard on this bitch for memes
I hate that unit to
and I never seen kv-2 as much

Wel yeah, previous KV-2 was utter shit, no wonder
