Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I was reading in another thread and hotobu commented that Chod for Starjammers was good if Spawn was in the deck.  I'm assuming he means because you can combine it with an 8 Energy power card.

Can you combine AE's with power cards that aren't usable by the character playing the AE?

doubt it
spawn would only be able use the AE if its from an activator
or

Check the custom cards - # of specials per hero thread for the context... bout halfway down the page

The Ch'od AE is special because the card states "Teammate may combine with 1 Energy card for a single attack."

i never noticed that till now
gives lil more ooompf to outer space team

Fry me in lard... it DOES say teammate!  Thats sweet.

I was pretty sure you couldn't combine unusable power cards with AE's.

double-correct!

The biggest trouble with that AE is that it belongs to Starjammers, who have a full boatload of good Specials already and are usually a target because of it. I mean, I don't generally use more than 7, or so, Specials for someone. This is how they usually look for me:

11A
8A
8A
8A

one of their 8a is really 8I
they only have two 8

um, what? did you mean their 2/8 (KB)? because I wouldn't ever use that, myself. It goes directly to permanent record (as opposed to, say, Gambit's EJ, which I use a lot). I did, in fact, mean that I'd use 3 of their HN Special.

Also, it's worth noting, that in the Marvels they also got a sa-weet Special that I use all of the time (since so many people use Any's now).

the KB does stil count for 8 venture

If the KB counted for Venture, there would be a lot more of them used across the board (whether the 2/8 or the 7/3 version).

I can't imagine why they made the ones that don't count to venture.  That's just silly.

Some people. Like myself don't play to win by venture. Strategic retreats but I'd never put that card in for star jammers.  They have way too many better cards.

well that and two tw attacks=c ko

well, it's true. I mean, if your opponent doesn't have the means to block a 2, then yes, it gets you > 1/3 closer to a KO. but so does their HN, which is a lot harder to block...
