Recommended Posts

Beside the contest - i don't want reward - i simply want small forest elders ingame ๐Ÿ˜œย 

reward can be transfered to future contests ๐Ÿ˜‰
ย 

Name: Forest Cubs

Tier & Orbs:ย  Nature
Type: Unitย  (2 medium units)
Power: 50

Hit points and Size: 800 (2x400) M size
Attack value and Type: 300 type S

Active Abilities:
Forest Touch - for 20 power heals 300 life points to unit in 5m (20 s cooldown)

Passive
Swift & Stomp

Explanation of idea behind the card: I would love to see smaller elders ingame ๐Ÿ˜‰ This concept is based on making them small alternative to hurricane by making them swift tramplers with small damage and some hp for tanking and map controll purposes.

I assume that making them swift can be problematic with their XL unit animation - so they may ottion to test it without Swift but with abbility to not slow down when going through enemy units... + maybe slowdown immunity against PvE spearman units.

ย 

It would be possible to make them in different colors? One more brown and one black? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Name: Pyramid of Creation

Tier & Orbs: T4, Nature x 3, Neutral x 1

Type: Building

Power: 320

Hit points and Size: 2000

Attack value and Type: None. Support building

Passive Abilities: Slowed Construction

Active Abilities: Breathe Life: Select a unit in a 25m radius. The structure then weaves a new life form identical to the target selected. Has a cooldown, activated after the ritual finishes. The procedure takes more time according to the cost of the unit selected.


Use Amii Monument model as a base.

Explanation of idea behind the card:

Think of it as a reverse Church of Negation. It can essentially clone a unit after some time. Presents a choice to hold back a strong unit to make another one after some time. Target unit may be paralyzed for the duration so that the player doesn't just spawn a unit, clicks on it to clone and immediately sends the unit away while the clone spawns, requiring some downtime in order to reward the player with a second creature. Card upgrades may improve cloning time or let the player clone units with greater costs.

Last one from me, before the contest ends. It was fun to spew out card ideas, but even more fun to see what other people came up with. Really looking forward to the official entries.ย 

Name: Ancient Turret
Tier & Orbs: T3, Neutral, Nature, Shadow
Type: Building
Power: 95
Hit points and Size: 1750
Attack value and Type: 1800

Passive Abilities:

Plasma Bolt -ย Every 7ย seconds, tower fires a magic bolt that deals 630 damage to enemies in a 7m radius around its target, up to 800 in total. Knocks back small and medium units.
Phasing - This ancient construct is equipped with phasing generator, that allows it to phase out of physical plane for a short while. Upon receiving an attack, the tower will phase for 2 seconds, during which it is unreachable by enemy attacks, including the first one used to activate this countermeasure. Does not break friendly buffs or other effects. Once the phasing ends, the generator must cooldown for 10 seconds before it can activate again.
Current Link - This building can connect itself to existing root networks, using the power currents for own advantage. Ancient Turret can receive all buffs gained from being part of this network, as would its other parts. Additionally, it can usurp the network support to enable shorter cooldown for the Phasing ability. At maximum level, a 4 supporters will shorten the cooldown to 5 seconds.ย 

Idea behind the card:

Buildigns are always a bit less liked, but they are integral part of the game. As such, Amii faction could use one as well. This is defensive structure, that is based off the Living Tower. It offers relatively cheap price for average stats (numbers to be adjusted), but offers unique way of dodging damage by phasing out of existence. Additionally, it can connect to Natures root network for its own benefits, improving the Phasing ability and receive possible heals or any other buffs.ย

Name: Bandit Dancer

Tier & Orbs: Tier 2ย Shadow Fire
Type: Unitย  (1 medium unit)
Power: 70

Hit points and Size: 900ย M size
Attack value and Type: 350 type Ranged

Passive Abilities:
Inspiring Life Stealer: Increase the effect of Life Stealerย by 10% to friendly minions.

This is an decent option if you want more sustain for your Bandit deck. I wanted to create a unit that heals your bandit card without going off theme for the tribe. The stats are based around Banditos but just more focused on the Hp.

Name: Death Sorcerer

Tier & Orbs:ย  Tier 3 Shadow Shadow Any
Type: Unitย  Medium size
Power: 60

Hit points and Size: 700ย  M size
Attack value and Type: 800 type Ranged

Active Abilities:
Deny Death: Channel a beam ofย undeathย to prevent a friendly minion from dying.

ย 

I think this card may have a few interesting uses, protect an important minion in the front, prolong how long Revenent's Doom, frenzy last and protect your unit from other effects that may kill your unit (both your and the opponent)

(note the targeted unit can still take damage just not get bellow 1 hp)

ย 

I was thinking about making this an 2 shadow card but i felt that it may be a little dangerous to give Shadow protection (Mostly because of Frenzy).

Idea behind character/unit design:

For starters, Skylords Reborn has reached a very interesting peak in its development where its supporting hybrid orbs, but I think that some pure decks are lacking in the matter, when it comes to purity presentation (since hybrid decks provide much more utility than single type orb decks).

Idea here is to make a certain PURE DECK buffer unit that subjectively works in buffing the primary statistic of the faction, and I cannot deem Shadow Faction as anything else than faction oriented on Health/Lifesteal/Sacrifice mechanic (be it theirs or of the ones of their enemies).

I have intended to make multiple leader variants for all 4 factions with different Level Up mechanics (to make more specific units or augmentation as a faction leader) which wouldn't account as 1 Card Boss unit, but more of an enhancer for their factions original mechanics (which would in the end, make it a primary target focus in fights). General idea is to make unit that would provide more than just a single hand call in power spike or neutral leader utility ( Neutral Heroes like Virydia, which can augment any deck) and focus the unit composition more into a timed assault which would amplify power of Pure Decks, reducing weaknesses they posses due to the lack of hybrid spells for CC, by augmenting them with mechanics that are native to their primary faction (be it passively or actively, while also restricting the foretold unit to them only).

ย 

Furthermore, idea behind this card is really open up to suggestions and balancing, since I'm also working on variants for other factions (Fire, Nature and Frost), but I got really short on time with college, Holiday planning and New Year event (like I would appreciate it massively if the actual contest lasted a bit longer after new year ๐Ÿ˜… ) so I hope that this won't go unnoticed!

Same goes for Character Model, if this EVER passes as possible CARD DESIGN, I would love to be notified about it, since I prepared some voice lines ALONGSIDE the DESIGN MODEL (still WiP, but base idea exists)

Time is up!

In total, I have received 140ย entries fromย 88ย different participants.

The next step is to compile all the data and present it to the jurors, they will (understandably) need some time to judge all the entries and to discuss edge cases. After the jury has made their decision, I will post the results here.

Please note that 140ย entries is A LOT, so this might take a while.

Thanks for all the cool submissions and the awesome energy so many of you brought to this contest!ย
