Back when I first played, we do. I think stunning was important for hard hitters like Cadenza. If he manages to get in first, his damage is usually enough to stun which then cancels a potential damage threat. I haven't watched the vid though, what do you actually mean with your question? Haha.

Out of curiosity, and because I actually took time to skim that BCon video linked on the first page, do we ever actually bother with Stuns?

I check them automatically. There were few instances of the StunGuard activating, but they were there.


Also random trivia: The guy making all the art for this game and every other game this publisher makes, Nokomento, he's from the Philippines.

Well, unless specified otherwise, all characters have a Stun Guard of 0. That means if they take damage without Stun Guard or Soak, then they'll be "Stunned" and unable to attack that beat. It gives more reason to have high Priority, and like you said, with heavy hitters like Cadenza, who most of his styles provide some form of guard and he has his Iron Body tokens which allow infinite Stun Guard, if we don't calculate Stuns in the first place, then your tokens are kinda useless as things currently stand.

Azure what are you talking about? What do you mean by Calculate Stuns?

What I mean is, if I hit Error, and he doesn't Ante and doesn't have Soak or Stun Guard, will he still get to attack, or will he be stunned?

He'll be stunned. But Cadenza allows one to spend tokens IN battle as well as Ante, so he may interrupt an attack he sees coming.




Beat 1:

O O (C) O (K) O O

Active:
Cadenza - 20/20 | FG: 2/10
Kajia - 20/20 | FG: 2/10

Inactive:
Patient 6 - 20/20 | FG: 2/10
Heketch - 20/20 | FG: 2/10


Kajia uses Stinging Wave 2-4 3 5
Cadenza uses Battery Burs 2-3 4 3

Kajia goes first!

Kajia flees back 2 spaces to the edge of the area before unleashing a swarm of bugs. The wave of swarms hone in on the supposedly taciturn automaton only to find nothing but a trail of steam! As it turns out, Cadenza had himself beat a hasty retreat as the Beat started!

In the distance, Cadenza's core starts to ominously glow, charging up his circuitry and preparing for an assault.
Cadenza has +4 priority next turn!


Beat 2:

(C) O O O O O (K)

Active:
Cadenza - 20/20 | FG: 3/10
Kajia - 20/20 | FG: 3/10

Inactive:
Patient 6 - 20/20 | FG: 2/10
Heketch - 20/20 | FG: 2/10

Spend 2 Force Points for +1 Power.

Ohohohoh, its going to be an interesting joust

btw Error whatever happened to your genre battle

[spoiler=][Grapnel Grasp. Move Kaija one space back.][/spoiler]

I lost the time. They had their entries but I couldn't follow through after a while. Its sad. I still have all their entries so I can still make the library. I just need to find the time to arrange them.

Error:



I also need you for something. Are you free on skype these days?



Also nvm. I realized asking you that question was pointless seeing as I will automatically make the only logical move which you deem as safe.

Beat 2:

(C) O O O O O (K)

Cadenza - 20/20 | FG: 3/10
Kajia - 20/20 | FG: 1/10

Inactive:
Patient 6 - 20/20 | FG: 2/10
Heketch - 20/20 | FG: 2/10

Cadenza uses Grapnel Grasp 3-5 2 5
Kajia uses Biting Spike 2-4 3 2 SG3


Cadenza goes first!

Kajia cautiously moves a single space forward, testing the waters. But suddenly a grappling anchor shoots its way from the other edge, bashing Kajia for 2 and wrapping itself around her.

Kajia immobilized, fires a deadly swarm herself to try and hook Cadenza in but alas he is too far.

Beat 3:

[spoiler=][It says up to 3. I don't pull her. I push her using Grasp. I used Grapnel for the range. I expect Parasitic Spike actually if you were wondering. Unless we're both just too defensive.][/spoiler]

I am free. Do you mean now?

Well, not now now. But free these days.

[spoiler=][Sure. I just want to get to close to Kaija on my terms and not hers.][/spoiler]

I'm freeish. If you send a message on Skype, I'd be able to reply on the same day or so.

Okay, Error's move has been clarified. You may now both post moves for Beat 3

Use 2 Force for +2 Priority.
