Another powerful "take everybody out" spell! And as someone else mentioned, you can identify the hero type that can use it by the symbol in the upper right corner.

The art is snazzy as ever..

Ooo, Mage specific tidal waveish spell, looking cool, although it is somewhat of a risky spell if both your opponent and you are low on health considering it takes out 5 health each.

Yeah, you definitely want to use it with care. And I'm not sure but it might cost a fair bit of resources to activate.

That raises an interesting question: since damage seems to be applied immediately.. I wonder if you can "Draw" or "Stalemate" in Shadow Era?

Yeah, I think there needs to be a draw option if there isn't already, primarily because if you make the decision you can't win a match, you can always try for a tie so you don't actually lose.

That makes sense in Player versus Player, but I wouldn't give credit for that in the RPG style of play (which is part of the solo/AI game experience where you're progressing through a storyline).

I'd be interested in what Kyle has to say, time permitting.

Good discussion!

Slightly altered Wrath of God looks awesome!

With a name like Kaboom, it looks like it might be your signature spell!

That's right, you can have a draw in PvP by using a spell such as this (since the damage is applied at the same time to everyone). In a campaign game, you won't progress further though, you have to win.

Detail on this card is superb, love the fact you can make out catapults inside the walls!! Can see this one being used in end game, as long as you're opponent is under 5 and you're over, supernova ftw!

@Paradox - "Yeah, you definitely want to use it with care. And I'm not sure but it might cost a fair bit of resources to activate." - Think resource is the top left cost, or did you mean is 5 resource as high a card cost as there's going to be? (be interesting to see what the hell 6 resource could bring into play!!

)
