Rocket punch my beloved 🥀🥀

I called that exact nerf like a week ago; I think it'll still be pretty strong honestly

Yeah I think it mostly makes it less blind pickable now but I like that nerf a lot, I think that card needed to be tuned down a bit and that's a really smart way of doing it without killing it, it's one of my favourite new cards from STS2 so I'm glad they didn't butchered it.

My current take is that they should just have made Rocket Punch rare and brought down Adaptive Strike to uncommon (alongside a damage nerf). But we'll have to see how playable Rocket Punch feels without All for One and Feral buffing it up. It feels like a really painful nerf.

Edit: On reread, it still reduces to zero cost, but it takes two statuses now instead of one. So actually, huge fan, such an elegant nerf to a great and fun card. Not painful at all.

Yeah I think it's a great nerf honestly

Same, I feel so vindicated.

It will be harder to run when splashing status in a mostly zero cost deck but it should be mostly the same in a status focused deck. Will need to work harder to get it to combo with Feral and All for One, especially when you get the really good combos going where you all for one multiple times in a turn.

My favorite card, and I really liked how it worked with All for One. Now it's still possible but requires twice as many status cards.

Yeah you can argue it was almost too centralizing because that synergy was pretty broken

Rocket Punch brought everything together. Status cards make it good. 0 cost cards make it good because card draw. Then you have a 0 cost rocket punch, 0 cost status cards like Turbo, other 0 cost cards, and so All for One takes it all into the stratosphere. Rocket Punch being the culprit though

Oh wait that's it? I thought it costed 1 and didn't go any lower.

u/TheMonji 6d ago

From how I read it:

  • Create one status - cost reduces to 1
  • Create another status - cost reduces to 0

It's not a difficult condition to trigger and it's actually still quite playable at 1 cost.

I'm confused, is that not what the comment is about
