This part of the guide will show how to balance ideas at PvZH or any similar turn-based card game. You will learn how to give ideal costs to each type of card and balance abilities based on many in-game elements.
Before Balancing |
Before balancing a creation, there are some things that should be kept in mind:
|
Class Restrictions |
While most aspects of card creation can be left to your imagination, there are some rules that must be followed when creating new cards. Certain traits and abilities are restricted to certain classes, and it is important to make sure your card follows these guidelines.
Class-exclusive Traits, Abilities, and the class's main synergies will be listed here: Zombies:
Plants:
-Note: Gargantuar synergy exists in almost all classes. -Note: While Gravestone and Team-Up are listed in certain classes, these are just their main classes and they can be found in any class of their side. |
How to balance a card? |
To balance a card, you should consider 2 main elements:
Starting by the element of cost, it is the first thing you should consider when balancing. You should try to pick a card that already exists and that has a similar ability to your card (if possible). If you pick more than one card, balancing will be easier, as you will be able to decide the cost better. Here is an example of how to do it: Now for the usability, this one should be considered while making synergies. When making a synergy, you should pay atention to the number of cards that it will affect and, depending on it, you can make a balance of the cost. |
Balancing Superpowers |
When you balance a Superpower, it is recommended to think about Common/Uncommon cards. As you may know, there are 2 types of superpowers: normal superpowers and signature superpowers. While regular superpowers are 1-cost versions of 2-cost cards, signatures would be 1-cost versions of cards that cost from 3 to 4. |
