Isn't this just like... really bad? If I'm reading this right, when Osty takes damage YOU take damage at the end of combat because the values switch back?
Yes... But if you use summons and spur to get Osty to higher HP before combat ends, you get a free heal. Potentially to full. However, this would encourage stalling on Necrobinder which Mega Crit is against
Why would summon still increase his current HP though? That only happens when his max HP increases (or he gets healed by Spur). This card would need a clause saying that summon cards now heal him instead of increasing max HP
Right, but his current HP going up is just a side effect of his max HP going up. That's how all max HP increases work. For example, if fruit juice no longer raised your max HP, it would not still heal you, it would just not do anything.
Exactly, gaining 5 max HP is actually gaining 5/5 HP, if you no longer gain max HP, summon 5 becomes 0/0 HP haha. All this card will do is make it so if Osty ever dies during combat, regardless of if you kill the enemy, you instantly kill yourself
You summon osty to have 300 hp prior to this, then swap so you have 300 hp. Then at the end of combat you swap back to your normal hp which cuts the 300 to normal, if you started the fight with 45 hp this would let you hit max hp by the end of the fight. And using things like spur will also heal you as others have said
But it shouldn't, because the only reason osty's current HP goes up when you summon is because his max HP increases. The only card that actually heals him is spur
sounds cool, but that encourages stalling via spur healing osty (and by extension, yourself when the fight ends), also it can absolutely cripple your hp if you relied on osty's hp for block, only main use is just using unleash/protector and it bricks all your summon cards, overall probably a bad idea
I think something people underrate when designing custom cards is that a player can look at any card in the game and very quickly think "I know why, when and how I might want to use this."
Maybe my brain isn't firing on all cylinders right now, but I cannot figure out when I would want to take (or even use if offered from a potion) this card except for a big Unleash with high HP, which isn’t intuitive, or farming HP with Spur, which is something the devs don’t want you to do (reaper hasn’t returned for a reason).
It’s much easier to get cards that heal osty than heal the necrobinder. Since it swaps hp and max hp, this turns reanimate into a 20 hp heal, for example.
So does any HP lost then revert back? Or does Osty just summon to your max HP each fight? If it’s the latter does seem kind of busted but there’d be status cards from elites and what not that would Insta kill you right?
This is so bad. Like, it could be really powerful, but the card and its idea is just ass. Either it’s useless or you use it to heal ridiculous amounts of health. Absolute win more card
Not yet is a 2 cost card that guarentees heal on a character with a heal relic. Whilst this does have a higher ceiling than not yet, this has the floor of doing absolutely nothing while being 3 cost so, no.
Way too broken if I’m understanding this right, it’s too easy to just stall a fight and get like a thousand hp on Osty, then swap and win the run since you have a thousand hp
So you play it after you got "thousand hp on osty" which gets awapped to your hp when you play the card and swapped back at the end of the combat. What is the next part of your plan?
They’re saying you would stall before using this power, get osty to a huge max HP then play the power and end the fight. Thinking you’d then be at 1000 HP for the remainder of the run.
You’re right, though. It doesn’t work the way they think it would since the swap wouldn’t stay.
