#PvE Mode

Recorded: May. 28th, 2024

Back with another recorded video of myself playing through “👊💥MultiVersus”. This time while I’m in this new PvE mode that the devs worked on for its relaunched version. I’d personally won’t mind it at first; especially that it takes place for challenges to earn rewards as I continue forward. That being said, it didn’t have some flawless problems if I picked just one to addressed. Nevertheless, It was a not bad start to go through until its completion. I had some fun with i ts minigames included, but save it for another post soon.

So anyways, here’s myself just going through this fighting match as Batman against the computer player’s Joker. It wasn’t easy to get by like I’d been through few times defeats from the clown’s signature “deadly weapons”. Can't expected nothing to take on one of DC's greatest villains.

BTW, the option for to swap neutral and side attack were missing in the relaunch version of the game. So forgive myself in this gameplay footage while I was playing as Batman into fighting match. I’m sure the devs were to figure it out to added in later patch soon.

He's finally done! I feel so late building him but he's done! Now I just need Sonya to build resplendent Soren and FEH will have nothing left to offer me until legendary/emblem Soren becomes a thing.

they way I do not know the Overwatch lore is very embarrassing. I did not know who aurora was until I heard a venture voice line about them. I then only learned abt how them being the first to get sentience later through osmosis through similar voice lines

Welp I had max dragon flowers on Altina for two minutes.

Tbh I’ve always been of the opinion that the PVE promised in the 2019 Overwatch 2 announcement was absurd. A story mode for EVERY hero, plus unique skill trees with 40-50 different skills each? It seemed like it was going to be comparable to Borderlands with Vault Hunter builds, except Borderlands has never had a game with over thirty playable Vault Hunters. The most they’ve ever had is six.

It was an insane promise that never had any chance of coming to fruition. I can’t believe they ever made that claim in the first place.

There’s a new minigame I’d try out while staying in the first rift title “Multiversal Mayhem”. It involves shooting balloons with a cannon and even targets if you’d get it quickly to garner more points. It felt like one of those amusement arcade games that you’d play in Disney rides. At least it wasn’t half bad to go through; especially fitting as Harley Quinn if she’s going on a rampage at the Batcave.

Ow team said we can’t have Archives anymore because reliving Uprising would hurt Ramattra’s feelings.

You're really awesome

PROBLEM: I want to make magic decks with my cards irl, but I have no one to play them against.

SOLUTION: Make an entire custom deck that can play itself to more or less replicate an opponent.

I decided to put the rules in card form as conspiracy cards, but it turns out that rules should be written as rules, not cards, so I had to make extensive notes about each of them (except Industrial Expansion, that one is actually effects instead of rules). I also just enjoy talking about my design choices.

Notes: Creating waste tokens instead of playing lands is basically free card advantage, as well as preventing mana screw/flood. The bot is supposed to have more raw strength than the player, so this isn’t a huge problem, but the starting hand size reduction and 5 land limit are still needed balance it.

Also, I know wastes isn’t actually a basic land type, but it makes the card so much cleaner so "Wastes token" is a predefined token here just like Treasure and Food.

Notes: There’s probably some awkward edge cases here too. I fixed the only one I could find (involving Recycle Bin), but there might be more. The main guiding rule in playing the bot is "don’t make it do obviously dumb stuff." The cards are balanced around the rigid rules, so bad decisions are okay, but sometimes there are plays that are so worthless or actively counterproductive that you really ought to step in. Edge cases should be resolved in whatever way makes the bot play best. Ideally, you shouldn’t have to think too hard about what the bot does; it’s supposed to be automatic, after all. The other guiding rule is "make this similar to a normal game of Magic."

Notes: Much, much simpler than Defense Protocol. Still some vagueness, but good enough to prevent swinging into the opponent’s 4/4 with a 3/3. It applies on a creature-by-creature basis; if you have a 3/3 with flying and a 2/1, and your opponent has a 4/4, the 2/1 won’t attack, but the 3/3 will. If you have a 2/1 and a 5/4, only the 5/4 will attack since the 2/1 can be fully blocked by the 4/4.Non-lethal battles are tricky; if you have a 2/1 and the opponent has a 0/3, you shouldn’t attack because then you’re just tapping down your 2/1. But if you have a pair of 2/1s, you should attack for the free damage. You could reinterpret the "such that they lose no life" bit, but that would result in the rules telling you to swing your creatures into into a 4/4. Basically, use your best judgement; this stuff is too complicated to write out. You’re smart enough.

Notes:

This card would be a fucking nightmare to properly template. Good thing it’s a rule and not actually a card. The vague wording can probably result in lots of edge cases, but this card is basically meant to say "The bot makes the best blocks possible" so use your best judgement in those cases. Activated abilities that boost a creature should be taken into account if mana is open for them. A version of the blocking rules not in card form is given below.

Priority 1: If you can block in such a way that your life total remains above 0, you must do so.

Priority 2: If a blocker can deal lethal damage to an attacker and survive, it must block that creature.

Priority 3: If a blocker can deal lethal damage to an attacker, or if it can survive, it must block that creature.

Priority 4: Don’t block.

Misc 1: If multiple attackers are tied for the highest block priority, the blocker must block the creature with the highest power. If tied, highest toughness, then highest mana value, then choose randomly.

Misc 2: Multi-block an attacker only if it has menace or a similar ability, only with the minimum number of blockers, and only if it falls under a blocking priority (ex. it’s threatening to win the game, or it can be destroyed, or both your blockers survive). Anything else could be a nightmare to calculate.

And that's all the rules/conspiracies, which should allow for playing against the bot while making as few decisions as possible. Here's the cards. The bot's deck consists of 4 copies of each card for a clean 60 deck, compatible for testing against mill.
