Skystones Overdrive

Skystones Overdrive is an updated version of Skystones Smash played in Skylanders: SuperChargers. The goal is to deplete your opponent's health, which is tracked at the bottom of the board.

Rules

Two players create a deck of Skystones to play with. Each player may only have 20 unique Skystones in their decks. At the start of the game, the two players have a set amount of health. Each players' health starts at 30, but, when playing against a computer player or an NPC, the opposing player's starting health is as follows:

Difficulty	Opponent's Starting Health
Beginner	20
Adventurer	30
Expert	30
Nightmare	40

The board contains three rows and two columns, one for each player. The player that does not move first will have an instant "The Rock" Skystone placed on their middle-row space. Once per turn, a Skystone may be played from the turn player's hand onto one of the three spaces on their side of the board. All Skystones on the board then attack in sequence, starting from the top row down to the bottom row. Opposing Skystones that are in the same row attack each other at once, each dealing damage equal to their attack power to the other's health. If a Skystone's health becomes 0 at any time, that Skystone is destroyed and removed from the board. When a Skystone attacks and there is no opposing Skystone to meet it, that Skystone deals damage equal to its attack power to the opposing player's health. When a player's health becomes 0 at any time, that player loses the game.

Anatomy of a Skystone in Skystones Overdrive

Each Skystone has a set attack power, health, and Element. Skystones deal damage equal to their attack power to the opposing player and other Skystones when they attack. If a Skystone's health ever becomes 0, it is destroyed and removed from the board. If a Skystone's Element matches the Element of the Skylander that is currently on its controlling player's Portal, that Skystone's health is increased by 1 for that game.

Each player has a special Skystone called an Overdrive that goes by the name, Element, and image of the Vehicle figure that is currently on its controlling player's Portal. Like all other Skystones, it has a set attack power, health, and Element, but it cannot be used until two turns have occurred. When the Overdrive Skystone is played, the turn counter for that Overdrive Skystone resets, and it again cannot be used until two more turns have occurred.

Some Skystones have special additional effects when they are placed on the board. These effects range from dealing damage to random enemies to increasing its controlling player's health.

Special Skystones have different borders than common Skystones. Unlike regular Skystones, these Skystones have golden, sparkling borders.

When a Skystone attacks, the Skystone may shout a line said by the character on the Skystone. (For example, the Cali Skystone says "Boom!" when it attacks, and the Kaos Skystone lets loose a long, evil cackle.)

Adding Skystones to your Collection

Skystones can be earned by defeating certain NPCs in Skystones Overdrive games. You can find these NPCs standing next to Skystones Overdrive boards in the Story Chapters.

Some Skystones can be bought from the Shop at the Academy. These same stones can also by earned by using other methods, like making a wish in the Wishing Well or finding them in Treasure Chests.

There are some special Skystones that can only be added to your Collection by putting Traptanium Traps into the Portal. All of these Skystones have golden borders and are based on the trappable Villains from Skylanders: Trap Team. Placing a Trap in the Portal will instantly unlock a Skystone of the Villain inside the Trap. (Beware: Unlocking even a single Villain Skystone in this way will unlock all Villain Skystones for NPCs to use against you. Be prepared for crazy battles if you decide to do this!)

List of Skystones

Skystone	Element	Attack Power	Health	Written Text and Effect	Actual Effect	Border Type	Where Found
Hot Steak	Fire	4	10	Make the board sizzle! "A hot slice of beef. Free 2 day delivery!"	All Skystones on the board are moved to random locations. This means that Skystones can be placed under new controlling players.	Gold	(TBA)
Pandergast	Dark	2	1	Summon a random vehicle into an empty friendly spot. "Welcome to my mayhem motorcross! I'm your host for the event, the suave, the savvy, the only... PANDERGAST!"	A random Overdrive Skystone is placed an a random empty space on the side of the board that Pandergast is on. Any effects that the Overdrive Skystone would have caused if it was normally played from the player's hand are ignored. If there are no empty spaces on the side of the board that Pandergast is played on, no Overdrive Skystone is summoned.	Regular	(TBA)
Chef Pepper Jack	Fire	2	2	Deal 2 damage to all enemies. "We're servin' pain for dinner... and HURT for dessert!"	All opposing Skystones and the opposing player take 2 damage all at the same time. If any Skystones have 0 health at this time, they are destroyed and removed from the board before attacking starts.	Gold	(TBA)
Emperor Kaos	Magic	2	3	Turns all enemy stones into Sheep (...may backfire). "Welcome to Skylands... a magical world of wonderful victory and adventures into subjugation."	All opposing Skystones are removed from the board and are replaced with Sheep Skystones with 1 attack power and 1 health each. However, there is a small chance that this will not occur and that it will happen to only this Emperor Kaos Skystone instead.	Regular	(TBA)

Trivia

• When you place a trap containing a Chompy villain, it will bring out an Armored Chompy Skystone instead of a regular.
• One of the Skystones, the Hot Steak, was made in a response to a spelling mistake during the reveal of the Hot Streak.
