Palatinus' OverPower Forum

How good will these be?  They can't be negated, and many characters don't have an 8 to defend the highest value doubleshot.  Maybe make them OPD's?  Or just make one that reads:

6Any to use, acts as a level 4 Multipower card.  Teammate may combine one power card level 1-4 for a single attack or defense. OPD

Maybe?

We should make an anypower Double Shot for Ultimate Evils.

Same idea, but more accessible. The downside of doubleshots is that they're tricky to use.

you seem kinda hard to please...

The game may be called Overpower, but I don't like things that are Overpowered. Game Balance is of utmost importance.

Make it a multipower/combine with any power card 1-4, make it OPD, and it's all good.

I think they went a little too far with the complexity of playing the Doubleshot. I personally love using them, but I'm in quite the minority. Most players won't touch them. Accessibility is important too.

I always thought the true drawback of the doubleshot wasn't its complexity as much as how neutered it is defensively. Same rules for playing them, but with the ability to defend anyone on the team (rather than just the character playing the card) would have made them just right.

I agree, better defense would be big. I used them a lot back when I thought they defense both contributing characters
