Overview

This page is a list of problematic chords. These chords are chords that are overpowered, create errors, seem to have unintended behavior, or just generally don't feel like they're behaving in a reasonable way.

Please only report problem chords if they satisfy the following conditions:

• Has not been reported yet
• Contains 2 or fewer distinct cards
• Falls into one of the following categories:
  • Causes disruption to gameplay or isn't behaving properly (creates errors, crashes, or causes bugs to appear)
  • Can consistently clear full rooms with a single cast (consistently means you can do so reliably no matter what room you enter)
  • Consistently deals more than 3 hearts of damage to the player when cast
  • Feels overpowered (if a chord is dealing a huge amount of damage relative to the difficulty of coming across it/building it into your deck)

Note that there are far, far more chords of 3 or more cards than we can effectively test and balance in a single lifetime. As such, we are only going to worry about balancing easily constructed chords. It is okay for certain broken combinations to exist, so long as they aren't easy to encounter for the average player or require some level of deliberate experimentation to come across.

Problem Chord List

• Gamma Burst[Root] + Clusterbomb: Easily fills the entire room with explosions when fired. Not necessarily broken, but potentially undesirable if the explosions wind up too close to the player (potential for an instakill) or the explosions wind up being too condensed on a particular area (can deal upwards of 128 damage total across all bombs). If sound is added onto the bombs, it would definitely be extremely loud (or at the very least busy aurally).
