fire and ice together only produce fire effect? #1089

Open increpare opened 5 years ago

increpare commented 5 years ago

I was casting catastrophe as the witch on an enemy which says it gives +1 ice/fire/lightning effect, but the dice at the start of the enemy's turn were not icy, but just burning with numbers greater than 1. I can understand ice not affecting burning dice, but then why have an ability that gives both ice and fire - is that confusing?

increpare commented 5 years ago

(oh, it was that I had 2 fire and 2 ice, but the enemy had only two dice total, and I guess fire gets priority over ice when taking effect - it's a weird edge-case but maybe ok...or you could have some setup whereby things freeze from left to right first, then burn from right to left, so if you have lots of burns and freezes you'll end up with a hand-full of burning ones)

Duplicate of #988 - freeze going left to right and burn going right to left sounds interesting, though.

increpare commented 5 years ago

i guess because the freeze visual effect is temporary/instantaneous as an effect it's fine to do both from right to left, but freeze happens, turns dice to one and the freeze breaks (as now), then it gets burned afterwards.

This is still occurring in v1.2—I played the Witch and used Catastrophe in an upgraded slot, expecting enemy dice to have both effects when appropriate, which did not happen.
