New Alien Character is Very Odd!! | Slice & Dice 3.0

[@principleshipcoleoid8095]

The Alien has those as keywords I think. If you got rid of keywords it would literally be target enemy/hero sides with NO effects.

[@principleshipcoleoid8095]

Or if you somehow kept keywords while replacing the attack side, you probably could have a damage side that ALSO has Damage keyword, doubling the damage ect.

[@Coffeewings334]

@@principleshipcoleoid8095There is a “this face has keywords see the pips^2” item which would be rather good with alien

[@sonarchy5158]

I checked your theory on Custom mode You are right, a damage side with Damage keyword deals double damage, and Alien's sides without keywords do nothing

[@kamilrichert8446]

also it has a fun synergy with copycat on other heroes

[@ebtato3148]

10:10 funny synergy with bramble and disciple is that if you double-use you get to only use ONE heal BUT because its now a blank so using glow actually works on the second blank side

[@ivan-to2zy]

15:52 I thiiiink stuff like that might interact with some items that change keywords or buff "colored numbers" (there's an item I ran into just the other day that said something like "any colored N is increased by 1"

[@Retromation]

You know what, that is probably correct. I can't picture any other impact the weird phrasing change could have.

[@Peanutman_64]

also you can do some weird stuff if you can swap the side and keep the keyword (with enduring) you can have a 3 damage side with the damage keyword, dealing 6 damage (dream is an alien with urn and charged hammer for base 20 heavy with 2xcharged)

[@yems_1534]

yeah, there are items and such that mess with keywords that would benefit from sides like the aliens. keeping/changing keywords on sides

[@FlorianGroe]

I'll add that the damage keyword is pretty good if you have somebody else with copycat on a damage side. This gives basically double damage with no other precondition, and it's godlike if you manage to get e.g. bloodlust on the alien side first

[@ChrisDaPancreas]

One part possible weird item interactions/one part flavor suggesting the alien is using a laser that does various things (supported by the damage face animation)

[@Cobrabob]

I feel like the spade is underrated for a suicide build. The big pain mana-gain sides can be used and then you just revive and actually get a heal out of it. Or use the powerful “death” sides and then bring them back consequence free.

[@Green24152]

tinderspade moment

[@CmdrCorn]

What a wild, super unique party comp and items. This was a great one. Oh yea, the curses and random blessings were super cool too.

[@leleo1o]

With random items you can get the "damage" keyword and add it to anything, so a sword is pure damage alien targets and does the keyword. You can combo both doing doble damage

[@Colorado0091]

Wouldn't the Bloodlust 4 pip attack count double for the random generated ability that deals 7 ranged damage? It has 4 pips and a keyword + the green guy wouldn't kill himself.

[@Giguv05]

You can see it being used this way at 43:30. The guy just straight up had a 7 damage side that other heroes benefitted from, essentially :D It's the same deal as when Prince uses his shield+heal side for two requirements on Unite.

[@ahmetmertvural]

thanks for the series man it’s a banger

[@dragonlord4881]

Spade is just a interesting first character, it basically means you can just let 1 ally die every turn, only downside is they won't roll if they die on the enemy turn

[@joshlemagne]

Yeah seems like some interesting synergies especially starting with so much self damage. He just treated it like a statue though.

[@Chromodar]

Multiple people starting at half hp for the next fight is a good way to make sure allies keep dying, probably more than 1 per turn. Unless your group is specifically set up for this (which is not common while having level 1 hero like Spade), that's kind of a downside too.

[@mezias00]

With Spade and cultist you have a funny combo, just let the cultist kill itself with the pain mana and revive it directly, you get the mana and a fully healed cultist

[@Potatezone]

Being revived still leads to the unit being at half health in the next fight, so it's not usually worth it to use revive in non-emergencies.

[@zomburger2573]

Yeah! More slice and dice! Love it!

[@Coffeewings334]

I think this is your best series at the moment

[@HugoBaesJr]

You can always use Spore on a decay Mana side from Myco to compensate and have neutral results with no downsides.

[@xelphiem]

Loving the series!

[@theodorethefirst]

I think the trick with the Myco is he'd pair well with someone who has cleave.his spell has some potential synergy for a turn 1 burst damage Team

[@gelic15]

Fun use of the bard on that one!

[@warrust]

I wonder if Retro will adjust inventory next time he sees Wendingo coming up

[@kayoh9364]

Something seems to be up with the Dabbler/Dabblest unlocks, I did a bunch of Choose-Party runs with all rogues and not a single one showed up even with like +10 levelup choices. Eventually just did it in Wish mode but. When will my Dabblers return from the war.

[@cggreen9193]

I think the "target enemy 3 damage" means ANY enemy, including the backrow. Its card game wording it seems

[@ebtato3148]

nah you can't, its the same except for copycat, rainbow, and anything related to keywords

[@viziroth]

maybe you figure this out later, but I think the 1 4-pip side is 1 side that's exactly 4 pip, ones that let for high say 3 pips not 3-pip side edit: you immediately figure it out lol

[@joshlewis8860]

Is the alien attack saying that your can’t target allies? Idk if the normal sword attack can

[@twendos833]

Another fun run, hehe!

[@mr.bubble9584]

i love the video dude, convinced me to buy the game

[@michaelcordeiro12]

It would be funny if this was an april fools day character that did exactly the same thing as sword and shield and was meant to just confuse people

[@Green24152]

the green characters are all wack like that

[@LostHCCommand]

To Make The Series Longer...

Let's go

[@donaldsnyder1543]

Nice and unhinged.

[@thanh-khoanguyen5917]

What did you expect from an alien? They can not fully understand our language.

[@princequincy5421]

In defense of the people going "why no burst thorn", it's my understanding that thorns being spell-proof is new to 3.0? That or folk are just being actual clowns

[@claytonharting9899]

Nope, they were immune to spells in 2 as well. Maybe not 2.0? But definitely at least the last major release before 3.0

[@willw5868]

It’s always been spell immune.
