Demo Deck: Part 2 - Theives

So here's the second page of the deck.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RRZ403K8

"Thieves" is kind of misleading... all of the characters aren't thieves. Their icon is a thief just to show that they're the middle ground of the army. They don't have the high attack and defense totals of fighters, or the spells of mages. Typically, they're ranged attackers, ninjas, or thieves, with a stat total right in the middle.

I don't really know what to call them that groups them all together...
"Support units" are a decent designation, but that could be taken as 'healers', and that's hardly what they are. I'll have to think on it...

Anyway, here are the characters I chose, and why I chose them.

Yuffie x3
Irvine x3
Edward x2
Locke x1

Yuffie: Yuffie is in a main slot for versatility purposes. Being a new player with something like a hand full of spells and no mages is discouraging, so Yuffie helps fill this gap. Also, there's one summon and one real summoner in the deck, so Yuffie can help with this also.

Irvine: Irvine is in a main slot because he is the poster boy of ranged attackers. No other reason really. Maybe to show people the drawback of fighter characters like Kain with 1400 Defense.

Edward: Edward is a trial. Being a control card I think it would be interesting to see how he plays out. His stats are pretty low, and his ability requires a bit of board setup, so I thought the 2x slot was good for him.

Locke: Locke always gets to use leader abilities regardless of the stage, so he will give the new players more chances to play around with the leader stuff.

If any of you are reading out there, let me know what you think, and if these files are coming out correctly.

  1. How about calling the group "Rogues"?

    Sort of the middleground route RPGs have taken for characters of those types that don't necessarily steal.

    I admit it's still not a perfect description, though.

  2. Yeah, you're right. Though not all-encompassing, rogues is probably the best idea so far. Good insight!

    Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. For some reason, I don't get notification when people comment on here :/
