[Written] Overdrive Monsters

[Thomas★Zero]

So Overdrive is a sub type for monsters where it acts as a Powerful once per duel ability for using any overdrive where if one monster uses overdrive you wouldn't be able to use any other monsters overdrive.

 

ideally overdrive will focus on ace monsters and various key/support cards that will work in a deck like the following examples.

Since I learned a bit about Future Card Buddyfight, this sounds a lot like some cards’ Overturns.

 

So, the Overdrive ability. From what I can see, this is a very special kind of effect. Therefore, is it a monster effect that activates and starts a chain?

 

I like this idea. The ability to do something powerful only once per Duel is something I was metally playing with, but you had it in the bag. It can make for game-changers, and surprising your opponent with a turnaround. On the other hand, however, it can give certain archetypes a super broken card to play with, so could you please make some more generic Overdrive monsters because some players might play undersupported archetypes and do not have an extremely powerful Archetype Overdrive?

 

If archetypal overdrives are stronger than generics, then these meta archetypes with Overdrive reach a whole new level of unbeatable.

Considering the whole archetype Overdrives in terms of generics I did example 2 different HERO Monsters with overdrive for what you had an option for along with The Returning Avatar of the Pot as well as a generic card with Overdrive. Also in terms of chaining I guess it would start a chain if you have cards that can activate around it though those cards wouldn't be able to negate the Overdrive effect.

Ok, I made a card myself.

 

Plankton the Machine Racer

Machine/Overdrive/Effect

WATER/Level 6

Once per turn, you can target 1 Machine monster on the field: It gains 200 ATK for every Machine monster currently on the field, until the End Phase.

OVERDRIVE: Tribute this card, then target 1 Machine monster on the field: Double its original ATK until the End Phase. This effect cannot be negated. You can only activate Overdrive once per Duel.

ATK/2300.       DEF/1700

 

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME MR. KRABS, NOT WHEN I SHIFT INTO MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!

 

Since I already offered my thoughts on this mechanic, I have some questions.

 

Are Overdrives Quick Effects that can be used at absolutely any time?

How powerful would an Overdrive have to be before being considered broken?

I like the reference with the card XD

 

I guess Overdrives would need (Quick Effect) in them for the whole means of quick effects. Also I guess it would more so likely be something that's an auto win duel or puts your opponent at no resources while preventing them to draw and that monster can attack the turn the overdrives used while being at no cost.
