So this is awkward. I started out aiming for a chaos meric counterpart and was halfway through before I remembered chaos already have passive health regen. One thing lead to another and I guess this is it.

Resonance Deads

Deceased Magikill and Merics whose mana were forcibly contained within the corpses after death. (opposite of mana burst?)

Cost: 150G, 200C (ignore price in picture)
Pop: 5
Training: 15s
Tags: Chaos, Light, Magical

Health: 150
Damage: deads
Speed: deads

Passives:

When nearby deads units take damage, R.deads will redistribute it among up to four other deads units of the same type( light, heavy, magic) in range including itself.
(Radius: same as mana burst)
For instance: 15 damage on one unit will become 15 ÷ (1+4) = 3 damage on 5 units.

When R.deads take damage from magic units and spells, recover 15 health.

New
User Control Ability:

Mana Pulse: Knock down and pushback up to six enemy units in a wide area in front of it. Damage: 10, CD: 12s
(Area of effect: Meric healing radius. Pushback distance: double of giant. Giant not affected)

hmmm

#

underpowered

#

can it attack by itself?

rancid scaffold
#

Yeah I noticed after I sent it out lol

#

Considering lowering crystal price to 200 and health buff to 150?

either buff it or give it another ability/passive

#

redistributing damage alone for deads, which are all cannon fodders is not enough for an entire unit

rancid scaffold
#

Hmmm I initially considered giving it shield like a meric, but that's pretty much the point of bubble spell

tacit cairn
#

ressurection maybe

rancid scaffold
#

Walking rune of reanimation?

tacit cairn
#

sure

rancid scaffold
#

I can't seem to edit the message

#

Bruh

tacit cairn
#

also, this unit needs an ability that doesnt rely on deads, because if you dont have one this is literally a useless and pointless unit to ever bring. its going to be exclusive to dead decks only

tacit cairn
rancid scaffold
#

So removing the limit on its redistribution and allow it to redistribute for all chaos?

tacit cairn
#

then that just makes this card exclusive to chaos decks

rancid scaffold
#

Then just everyone? Wouldn't that be kind of op for some decks

tacit cairn
#

thats why I suggested to give it another ability, redistribution cannot be the entire gimmick of an entire unit

rancid scaffold
#

Thera place group heal and r.dead among archidons pretty much invincible

rancid scaffold
tacit cairn
#

what would it add to order?

#

every single unit in the game can work with anyone

rancid scaffold
#

I hadn't really considered for order

#

kekw but yeah if redistribution works on order units then I think probably op

tacit cairn
#

merics for example are order healers since they dont have auto heal, but you could use merics with any chaos unit except bombers

rancid scaffold
#

Hmm what if damage redistribution for heavy units only?

tacit cairn
#

then what does it offer to light units?

#

at this point this unit could literally just be a spell, ability, or enchantment

#

if it does nothing but redistribute damage, whats the point of making it a unit? than a spell, ability, or enchantment

rancid scaffold
#

😵‍💫Errrr

#

so that it can be taken out in battle? and benefits from enchantments

#

Yeah I'm gonna try to think of another ability

tacit cairn
#

whats the point if it benefits from enchantments? it doesnt need that since all it needs to do or can contribute is give redistribution to other units

rancid scaffold
#

More health from rune reanimation and upgrades for tanking. It takes damage from redistribution too

tacit cairn
#

like now what if RoR increases its hp, if it were a non-unit I can just pop it regardless and still provide redistribution to other units(infact even better because I no longer need to rely about the position of this as a unit), now what if its enraged, healed, or deals status effect. it doesnt need that since all it would offer is give redistribution to other units

rancid scaffold
#

What about spreading healing? Would it help?

tacit cairn
#

I gtg

rancid scaffold
#

Alr lemme see if there's some ability I can buff it with

peak hearth
#

frostbite skin looking ahh

rancid scaffold
#

Added a user control ability

gritty isle
#

This is an interesting way to make a chaos support unit

#

I like it

#

Unfortunately, the unit itself is weak and the UC ability is too strong

rancid scaffold
#

Hmm, reduce knockback to 4 max targets and further buff health to 250?

gritty isle
#

The problem is that the main ability itself isn't strong enough

#

Also an AOE decrease for the UC ability would be nice

gritty isle
#

Problem is, distributing damage throughout multiple units isn't good enough for it to be the main reason for a whole new spellcaster

#

It's useful in some strats

#

But just not enough

#

Especially when most strats that can benefit from distributing damage can already do it without the need of any extra card

rancid scaffold
#

I see. I had considered having it spread healing as well (meric) or decrease incoming damage, but both are already in game.

#

Since it's a dead it's never going to work as a dps neither so I figured crowd control might work

tacit cairn
#

Y not give offensive abilities

rancid scaffold
#

Don't quite feel like giving it that, I intended this to be a support

#

or a unit to help other units gain ground

#

If It's getting offensive abilities tho, I suppose "resonance" can also refer to player spells
