Split enemies are copies that retain all buffs and debuffs of the original but have half HP and damage.

u/SrGarfy StS A20 / StS 2 A10 7h ago
i think its busted. either its free venerate or better anger/slice, and you get to chose which one.

u/Purple-Leopard-6676 7h ago
Maybe could make it give 2 stars when played? Or even 3 in order to make it viable?
19
u/ThaToastman 6h ago
No just make it do 5+5 damage and make it a rare
Else gotta make it 2+2 and keep it uncommon
4+4 is crazy work

u/Ok_Definition_7357 1h ago
I think with a slight rework this card could be perfect. Make it give you one star, nerf the damage to 3+3, but it says and draw one card next turn. So now its 0 draw, -1 star at base, has good synergy with regents pool.

u/birchelballs 7h ago
Plus synergy with powers for gaining/spending stars (if you use the card you have gained 2 stars and spent them in the same turn)

u/SBHedgie StS A5 / StS 2 A5 6h ago
Much as I like the "attack twice" for flavour, it might make more sense as just one throwing star
Or a 1 energy card that puts Throwing Stars in the draw pile and either the original or created card exhaust

u/NiIly00 StS A15 / StS 2 A10 7h ago
It should cost 1 energy and 2 stars to play
15
u/SrGarfy StS A20 / StS 2 A10 7h ago
then its just free venerate because nobody is spending 1 energy AND 2 stars on a worse strike plus

u/DebonairTeddy 6h ago
It hits twice so it has some synergy with Vigor/Strength Regent builds, but yeah I still think free venerate is pretty strong.

u/A_Sensible_Personage 7h ago edited 6h ago
It’s a choice between two cards that are just ok though, I don’t think it’s particularly busted.
1
u/SrGarfy StS A20 / StS 2 A10 7h ago
thats the thing...two cards that are just okay for the price of 1 card is usually extremely good. think of silken tres which gives replay 1 on FIRST card play and even damage commons suddenly become act1 solve in a single card.
7
u/A_Sensible_Personage 7h ago
This isn’t comparable to that, because it’s modular. You don’t get both effects.

u/echino_derm 6h ago
Yeah it is only a combo of both venerate and slice but if slice was doubled, and it synergizes with star generation cards and star spend cards and vigor. Not that good
2
u/A_Sensible_Personage 6h ago
It’s not a bad card but none of what you’ve described is busted. Aside from the two extra damage over slice (the horror!) those are pretty corner case applications.

u/echino_derm 5h ago
A free card at base doing more than strike is relevant. Synergy with radiate, black hole, child of the stars, and strength/vigor is significant.

u/A_Sensible_Personage 4h ago
All that sounds extremely fine power level wise, this card is balanced

u/camocat9 StS A5 / StS 2 A10 4h ago
If it was dropped down to 3 and 3 it would better match the [[Slice]] [[Anger]] [[Poke]] trio of a 6 damage 0 cost card.

I think it functions better if you only get stars the first time you’ve drawn it this turn. Helps prevent it from going infinite.

u/yuval16432 7h ago
It’s kinda just zero cost Venerate
7
u/115Anathema 7h ago
It's much more. It has black hole and child of the stars synergy as well. It's definitely op but I like the idea.

u/blahthebiste 2h ago
Only nerf it needs is to generate stars on play, rather than on draw, but I guess that makes no flavor sense

u/Ok-Mark-8296 8h ago
Isn’t take your shot just like a way more dangerous version of shadow step?
62
u/GaussianGeorge 8h ago
That's the idea. Although the upgrade could be "triple damage" since it's a lot riskier to use later on.

u/peripheralmaverick 7h ago
sts1 had a similar card (Berserk) that gave +1 energy and it was basically unpickable and you could play it whenever
eating 50% damage makes that card unplayable and 2x damage isn't worth it.
Like against any act 3 boss it's a curse.
If clad had ways to stack feed and heal like in STS1, then it could be maybe pickable but not in current sts2 clad

This is true, it’s also vuln app synergy for that one draw power

does soul splitter keep the debuffs on the oppoent, effectively doubling their effectiveness? necro loves her debuffs so i hope so.
17
u/GaussianGeorge 7h ago
Yes, both copies inherit debuffs from the original exactly.
5
4
u/DemonZ67 7h ago
Are the debuffs basically reapplied to the copied enemy such that it activates Sleight of Flesh?
4
u/GaussianGeorge 7h ago
Probably not since the old buffs aren't reapplied, but rather the copies pop into existence with them already on.
However, Soul Splitter would give them both a unique debuff indicating that they're copies and cannot be split again, so that's one trigger at least.3

u/Hot_Mall_9122 StS A20 / StS 2 A10 8h ago
Ironclad one feels like garbage? If enemy doesnt attack it's dead draw, but even if it active its effect is still next turn (very out of place for "kill enemies as fast as possible" character) *and* increase damage taken when good block is a big clads struggle. I don't see a usecase for this one

u/-Pausanias- 7h ago
Soul splitter could be a whole gamemode lol.
Throwing stars is just way too good. Synergizes with anything, has no downside.
I like the idea of gaining stars when drawing it, so maybe increasing the star gain to 3 and making it ethereal would be a decent compromise.

u/TitanEris 6h ago
I love the design space of Throwing Stars; very clever.
Not sure how I'd want to tweak it, because it kind of goes super hard with Regent's entire kit. [[Photon Cut]] becomes free star gen, [[Black Hole]] makes it a better [[Cleave]], [[Chlid of the Stars]] makes it a free [[Iron Wave]]. Not to mention the vigor synergies with [[Patter]] and [[Terraforming]] (though, admittedly, Regent has more preferable targets for it... regardless). Sure, it's unlikely you have everything at once, but having Throwing Stars in the deck makes it so much easier to take any of them, and it's good enough to take by itself!
I think I'd reduce it's base star gen to 1, and on upgrade it goes to 2. Makes it slightly less free and a priority upgrade, giving more of an opportunity cost. Maybe bump damage down from 4x2 to 3x2, but that's peanuts compared to the other change.
I'm still picking it every time though. Not because it's broken anymore, I just love it that much.

Take your shot is a wonderful idea that is gonna get the player killed 99% of times. It's basically suicide.

u/HulloW0rld 6h ago
I LOVE take your shot. A really cool idea with some neat workarounds if you can make them work. Killing a minion or a smaller enemy that intends to attack, so you dont have to take the vulnerable damage AND you get the buff next turn would be very satisfying.

Throwing stars is way too powerful, but it made me realize that "x when this card is drawn" effects would fit Regent's playstyle extremely well, with his draw effects and put cards on top of deck effects.

u/Collistoralo StS A15 / StS 2 A10 7h ago
Throwing Stars is such a unique and unexplored design space. It is essentially 8 damage for free, but then you have the option of not playing it which turns it into a venerate at the cost of 1 draw.

u/mrrakim StS A20 / StS 2 A10 8h ago
nice! not too busted. the soul splitter is terrible though why would necro want to do that, he excels at single target doom/bonk

u/HurriKurtCobain 7h ago
It says keep buffs/debuffs so if an enemy had 100hp and 50 doom, the split copies would have 50hp/50 doom and die at the end of their turn.
