Infinite combos

Post by guagno333 »

Hello!

Is there any way to deal with infinite combo? I have a couple of cards that can trigger it and both steps on the combo are NOT optional, meaning that once I start it, I have no way to skip any action, thus leading to a game loss because I will run out of time.

In paper game, combos are limited to 100 iterations AFAIK, but there's no time to do so in BGA (and it would probably be incredibility tedious for the opponent).

Just out of curiosity, would you mind showing the cards? :)

I don't have them on the tradelist, but one is a Bravos Bladeguard with Seasoned that says "when another character joins your expeditions - If I have 1 boost, target character gains 2 boost".

The other is a foundry armorer with "When a character you control gains 1 or more boosts - Create a 2/2/2 Brassbug token".

I'm not sure if this really answers your question but there technically aren't any truly infinite combos in Altered because the rules cap them at 100 triggers:
"6.3.f A given Reaction cannot be activated more than 100 times in a single day. If a Reaction would be activated a 101st time, the event that would activate it stays unmodified."

Yeah, I specified that in the paper game combos are limited to 100 iterations, but here this can't be easily done :)

Oops, I missed that part of your original post. Sorry about that! I have never triggered an infinite combo on BGA so unfortunately I can't answer your question. Hopefully someone else will have the answer for you!

One trick is to give the final boost to a character from your opponent. Usually this will not be an issue as you have plenty of stats, and should stop the loop.
This does NOT work with "a character in your other expedition" text line.
