I like to mess around with new and old decks and I thought of something, would Anklets F work with multiples? If I am not mistaken, multples completely take the numbers from the card before them and blank out their text box. So, if for example I used Anklets' F ability and then played Void Nova with multiple 10, would each multple get the +2 damage from Anklets even though the multiples come out for free?

My logic is the first Void Nove would be a cost of 4, the next multiple would cost of 5 (4 on the card plus 1 due to it being 2nd in card pool), the next multiple would cost 6, and etc.

My first post as a long time lurker, be kind. xD

Progressive difficulty only applies when you go to play a card, it doesn't actually increase the difficulty value of the card itself. So, no, this won't work as you state.

You could just play a low difficulty poke before the Void Nova though.

Edit: This post made no sense as I re-read the card.

"F Destroy this card: For the rest of this turn, if your attack has a higher difficulty than any attack preceding it in your card pool, your attack gets +2 damage. If your character is Blanka, your attack gets +1 additional damage."

difficulty of the card is the number in the top left graphic (+/- any modifiers to difficulty like secret project or feelings of friendship)

so no to this. like tag said, just play a lower difficulty attack before the void nova. like quick elbow for zero

ed: and YES it would affect all the attacks for the rest of the turn. poke, nova stream ftw

Oh! Any card before the attack? Wow, my quick glance over Anklets almost made me throw out that strategy. Thanks for the help, Gou and Tag.

Edit: Yea, I threw out my last post since it was made on the assumption the card was talking about only the last card in your card pool, not ANY of them. Anklets + Unparalleled + Lilitu's Needle + Void Nova ftw indeed.

i thought that the multiples wouldnt get the effect because they're difficalty is the same as the origanal so it does really have a higher diff. making it so it cant get the effect?

or would it work cause the attact before it is lower and then the ordinal is now powered up because the anklets?, but wouild that even still work because isnt multiples supposed to have the printed power of the attack? it doesnt get the power-ups right?

...what? Multiple copies have the same difficulty as the original attack, and Anklets's effect is looking for your subsequent attacks to have HIGHER difficulty.

If you play Feline Spike (7 difficulty) and make 1 multiple copy, that copy also has 7 difficulty. 7 is not greater than 7, it is equal to 7. not eligible for Anklets's bonus on its own

yosh -- Anklets bonus turns on whenever your difficulty is higher than ANY preceeding card, so if you just play a multiple attack and start copying it then nothing will get a bonus; but if you play a cheap attack then your multiple, everything will get the bonus.

You're right that multiple copies don't inherit damage bonuses from their creator attacks, but Anklet's applies to all attacks, not just attacks that are played (so when you place a Multiple copy in the card pool, Anklets checks it before anything else happens to see if the multiple copy gets powered up)

yes but the card preceding all the multiples is a copy of that card so how does it get the bonus? even if u do have a lower attack shouldnt only the first origanal card get the bonus? and not NE of the copies sence the card presesing the copies r the organal?

Anklets makes each multiple copy look at EVERY card before it in the card pool checking to see if ANY of those cards has a lower difficulty. If it finds one, then the multiple copy gets the bonus.

Off-topic - seriously, "NE" versus "any" is ONE less keystroke, which is even offset by having to hold shift. Is it really that hard to type properly? (edit: or did you really mean to say the ability wants a lower difficulty card Northeast of the copies? Having to use a compass would get awkward...)

on-topic - Anklets says it's looking for any attack preceding the current one in the card pool to have a lower difficulty, not the *immediately preceding* attack. If there's a lower difficulty attack anywhere in the card pool preceding the current attack, the anklets bonus will apply.

on topic- ok thanks I understand now

off topic- u didnt have to be rude about it i mean i just type like that sometimes i didnt know you being one of the judge was gonna be so rude on how i put the word any or NE forgive me oh holy one

No, he's got a valid point and wasn't rude at all. Typing any isn't significantly more difficult then NE and does provide clearer communication. Rude would be calling you stupid because of your lack of punctuation or something along those line. I'm not going to say you are, but the lack of punctuation, capitalization "TXT" shortcuts might suggest to someone who didn't know better that you aren't the brightest bulb in the socket.

If you're going to communicate at least give it a little effort. It's really not that had to use a little punctuation, and most modern browsers have a spell check feature (even if these **** forums give firefox's a fit). If you can't be bothered to use periods, at least capitalize the first word of each new sentence... it makes reading comprehension a lot easier, and especially in the Q&A forums, where precise wording means the difference between a card working one way or another understanding what you're asking/saying is rather important.

I will give you the fact that I dont use caps except for stupid reasons, and I will try to use them, but I acally i do use puntuations if you look at my other messages in the forum. The only one I didn't use any was the one responding to Tag., and that was 'cause I was reather mad.

Because he clearly understood what I put, but he had to sit there and insult me. That I found rude expecally since he is a rules arbiter.

also, if this was a different forum, odds are nothing would be said.

rules of this game (especially before the "new" or "current" or whatever you want to call them) are not always clear.

Posting abbreviations, acronyms, etc in this (Q&A) forum just makes it harder for someone who is already confused by card text/rules to understand what is being said.

ne could be a mistype for "no" etc.

He is not attacking you or saying don't talk like that on the internet, just saying, at least in this forum, focus is on clarity as opposed to brevity.

peace out seacrest

Lol. ok that was really good, and sorry for being so offended. I will try to type better. Have a great day everyone!

I wish every thread in Q&A ended on this kind of happy note. :3
