Training Quests

Post by Matt »

A set of 5 training quests can be found under the Quests tab, which are designed to be relatively easy quests with no time limit to give people a space to get familiar with the game.

The text in the quest tries to explain a couple of simple concepts to players, although there isn't much to work with. The NPCs currently have no dialogue.

Right now these are somewhat quickly made, and would like to improve on them. The most important reason these exist are to grant players cards we feel are "essential" for online play, so people aren't stuck trying to farm these cards forever.

Let us know what you think should be added/removed/changed.

Shared

All take place on the simulator map, although with different layouts.

Rules:

  • No time limit
  • All cards allowed
  • 1-6 dice
  • Deck shuffle on
  • Deck loop on
  • Dice boost on
  • Character HP 15
  • ATK dice prioritised

Saligun:
Welcome to the Morgue,
new trainee. Here, we use
technology known as C.A.R.D.,
which allows us to carry
and equip more weapons and armor
than we usually can.

During battle, by using your cards,
you will be able to equip
multiple items, up to a limit.
Make sure you always have
an item equipped, or you
will be extremely vulnerable!

Give it a try; see if you
can defeat Instructor Flint.

Clear Message:

Code: Select all

You did it!

Proper item usage is
very important, and having a variety
of cards to use to catch your
opponent off guard will make
combat much easier.

As a reward for passing our test,
please take the following:

- Heavy Attack (Action)
- Heavy Slash (Action)

Rio:
Newbie! You should know that
there's more than just items
that can be used in combat!
Creatures can also be
summoned by us Arkz, which can
be used to great effect to control
the battlefield and overwhelm
our opponents!

Don't forget to use creatures to
block and slow the advance of
your opponent!

Now show me that you're not useless
and can defeat Instructor Lex.

Clear Message:

Code: Select all

You did well, I guess.
Creatures are just as good as items
if you learn to control the battlefield.
If you're feeling brave, some
Arkz are also good at direct combat.
Take these cards for showing
me you're not totally useless:

- Resist (Action)
- TP Defense (Action)
- Avert (Action)

Saligun:
Have you noticed all those
different colors on the cards?

The top color is the
resistance color, which
signifies the attack type of
the card, or what types of attacks
it can defend against.
The colors on the left and right
of cards are "links", which signify
what cards can match with each other.
Each color has a theme - red is physical,
yellow is technique.
Use this to your advantage!

Clear Message:

Code: Select all

Did you figure out some more
card color themes?

Here is a list:
- Red: Physical
- Yellow: Technique
- Blue: Stat/HP modifier
- Orange: Rampage/Pierce
- Purple: Instant Death
- Green: Status Effect

Take these cards for doing so well:

- Wall (Action)
- Punch (Action)
- Punch Guard (Action)

Rio:
It's time to learn about making decks!

I hope you haven't been slacking.

A good deck is well rounded, and
can deal with many situations.
As a rule of thumb, try this:
- 10 items/creatures
- 10 defense cards
- 8-9 attack cards
- 1-2 assist cards.

It is best to focus on
a few items/creatures than a lot,
and always be able to use
attack and defense cards each turn.
Show me you understand!

Clear Message:

Code: Select all

You have potential.
The most important thing is
being able to defend.
It's a common mistake to build for
a lot of items/creatures, but
good opponents have tools to
deal with large amounts of summons.
Take these cards, I guess:

- Round Slay (Action)
- Penetrate (Action)
- Penetrate Guard (Action)
Training 5
