Bright Lights Expansion Set Brings Exciting Changes to Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game
In the world of the Flesh and Blood trading card game, where warriors and technologists battle for supremacy, the upcoming expansion set, Bright Lights, is set to revolutionize the way players build their decks. The new expansion introduces a unique take on equipment cards that will completely change the game for Mechanologist heroes.
Flesh and Blood is a turn-based strategy game that combines elements of Magic: The Gathering and the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Players start each game with a chosen hero and use various weapons, equipment, and attack cards to defeat their opponent. The equipment cards, which are the hero’s armor, provide protection and additional benefits that align with the hero’s play style.
Unlike traditional equipment cards, the Bright Lights expansion introduces a cycle of Evo equipment specifically designed for Mechanologist heroes. These Evo cards are shuffled into the players’ decks, adding an element of surprise and variety to the gameplay. Players must draw and play these cards to unlock powerful new effects.
James White, the creator of Flesh and Blood and CEO of Legend Story Studios, explained that the goal of the Bright Lights expansion is to provide fans with a compelling puzzle and inspire them to try new strategies and deck-building options. The expansion takes players to the City of Wonder, Metrix, where they can become more than human by building powerful Evo mech suits.
The core theme of Bright Lights revolves around upgrading underpowered base equipment into state-of-the-art Evo upgrades. The base equipment cards initially offer no effects and can even be destroyed when used to defend against opposing attacks. However, the Evo equipment cards can transform and enhance these base pieces, effectively undoing any damage they may have incurred during the game.
While the trade-off of starting with weak base equipment may seem disadvantageous, the potential advantages of drawing and transforming Evo upgrades throughout the game make it a compelling proposition. The expansion introduces 29 new Evo equipment cards, offering players a variety of options to create fun and powerful strategies.
Some of the notable Evo equipment cards in Bright Lights include the Evo Atom Breaker, which generates extra resources when a player boosts, and the Evo Mach Breaker, which generates Quicken tokens that grant additional action points. The Evo Circuit Breaker allows players to shuffle attack cards from the banished zone back into the deck, and the Evo Face Breaker strengthens attack cards.
To complement the new equipment, Bright Lights also introduces a new Mechanologist hero, Maxx Nitro, designed to synergize with the expansion’s cards. Players can experience the new expansion during pre-release events starting from September 29 to October 2, with the global release scheduled for October 6.
The Bright Lights expansion is set to shake up the Flesh and Blood trading card game, offering players exciting new possibilities and strategies. With the introduction of Evo equipment and a new hero, the game continues to evolve and captivate fans worldwide.
