High Voltage: Overdrive Returns January 12th - Full Blog
High Voltage: Overdrive
High Voltage: Overdrive is back, and better than ever. We've sped up the animations in-game to keep the game times faster, and slightly reduced the energy output to keep boards from getting too full too quickly. In addition, the event will now be offering a Premium Pass in addition to its regular reward track offerings to bring it more in line with recent game mode economies. The new character Dragon Lord will be available on the Free Reward Track. Catch Overdrive from Jan 12-19th at server reset.
NOTE: High Voltage: Overdrive’s start date has now changed. It will now begin on January 12th at server reset.
What is High Voltage: Overdrive?
The original High Voltage mode condensed the traditional rules of SNAP into three action-packed turns. Each turn gives more energy so you could play more cards and line up massive combos in a short game.
For Overdrive we wanted to build on the fun of High Voltage so we made the Arc unstable… and now it's causing all kinds of chaos. Decks in this mode will have eight randomly charged cards shuffled in, and when a total of five have been played by both players, the Reactor will explode with a GIANT effect such as destroying low power characters, giving charged cards +5 power, or even transforming them into brand new cards.
There are no cubes or points to lose in High Voltage: Overdrive, so you should always feel encouraged to try and win! There’s no downside to trying out new decks or fun new strategies, so you can build a deck, jump in, and play immediately. Complete missions to earn Volts and XP, which can be used in the new High Voltage: Overdrive Shop.
In addition, the event will now be offering a Premium Pass in addition to its regular reward track offerings to bring it more in line with recent game mode economies.
How do you play?
High Voltage: Overdrive is played over four turns instead of the regular three of High Voltage. At the start of the game, 8 charged cards are shuffled into your deck, each getting -1 cost and +1 power. In place of the Cube where you would normally Snap, you'll have an Arc Reactor. Before the first three turns, the Arc Reactor will generate between 2-4 Max Energy to add to your total which can then be used to play out your master plan. Your opponent will always receive the same amount of Max Energy that you do, so there’s no guessing how much they have.
How long will High Voltage: Overdrive last?
High Voltage: Overdrive will start at 11AM PST (daily reset) on January 12th and will end on January 19th at the daily reset. The Event Shop will stay open for an additional 48 hours and close on January 21st.
