YuukaMod

Yuuka Character Mod

Overview

• Colors: Red and Green
• Cards: 73.
• Act 1 Yuuka boss is included.

New Mechanics

• Bloom: a resource that slowly generates mana tokens, or can be used for other effects. These tokens retain and have auto-exile, so you can stock up on them without fear of clogging your hand.
• Flourish: use Bloom proactively to trigger the alternate (usually stronger) effects of various cards. Flourish is optional, you can opt to not spend Bloom.
• Fervor: percentage-based, one-turn damage boost. Often comes in a delayed form. Likes good timing. Likes Firepower. Likes Vulnerable. Probably silly with Marisa/Koishi.
• Arrange: put cards from deck/hand/discard on top of your deck. Even if you drew your card at the wrong moment (e.g. big blocker prior to opponent's burst turn), you can just save it for the next turn.

Themes

• Midsummer Flowers: ramp the damage of your flowers, or even use them for alternate purposes.
• Growth: grow your cards, ramping ahead of the opponent.
• Delayed effects: plan ahead and align your combos.
• OTKs: do nothing for 2 turns, deal 300 damage at turn 3.

Design Notes

Yuuka is designed to be splashable and non-parasitic. While Green starts with an easy access to Bloom and Red is better fit for the combo playstyle, players are encouraged to mix the pieces from the other color, instead of going all-in into one particular mechanic. She benefits from other character's toolkit, and they'll benefit from hers. Yuuka benefits from having a little bit of everything.

Neutral card "Flash of Spring" is banned in Yuuka runs. Yuuka's toolkit makes enabling it way too easy, to the point it invalidates half of her attacks.

The mod is in beta. Card pool is more or less complete, but is subject to change. Some aspects might be unfinished and I might have forgot something.

Balance may require future refinement. Initially, she (especially Green part) has been on the weak side. Balance feedback is welcome.
