Diverse Deck

The Diverse Deck is a colorless power skill with four cards that provide varying bonuses. When a card is drawn, it enters cooldown, and after that ends the card can be discarded to make way for the next. All cards have a passive ability, an on-discard bonus and sometimes provide one on draw.

Details

Barricade

• Special Effects:
  • Activating Barricade the first time draws the card, dealing 30 damage and activating its draw effect.
    • Draw: you gain 30 Bonus Health that persists indefinitely.
  • Drawing also enables its passive effect:
    • Passive: Each successful parry grants 10 Bonus Health for 15 sec.
    • 15 sec cooldown before discarding is possible.
  • Activating Barricade discards the card, triggering a new effect:
    • Discard: Remove all current Bonus Health and deal damage depending on the quantity removed.
• Tags: PassivePower, Unique, NoCooldownReadySfx
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Upgraded Barricade
    • "Upgraded: Bonus health gained from perfect parries is now permanent."

Catalyst

• Special Effects:
  • Discarding Barricade draws Catalyst, activating its passive:
    • Passive: Your melee attacks poison the enemies they hit.
    • 5 sec cooldown before discarding is possible.
  • Activating Catalyst discards the card, triggering a new effect:
    • Discard: Nearby enemies lose all their damage-over-time stacks then are dealt the remaining damage of these effects.
• Tags: PassivePower, Unique, NoCooldownReadySfx
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Upgraded Catalyst
    • "Upgraded: Damage-over-time effects are no longer consumed upon activation."

Electrodynamics

• Special Effects:
  • Discarding Catalyst draws Electrodynamics, activating draw and passive effects:
    • Draw: Creates a lightning orb that gravitates around you, dealing 8 damage on impact.
    • The orbs deal shock damage, which can arc to nearby enemies.
  • Drawing also enables its passive effect:
    • Passive: Each time you use your other skill, creates an additional orb (max: 3 orbs).
    • 5 sec cooldown before discarding is possible.
  • Activating Electrodynamics discards the card, triggering the discard effect:
    • Discard: Destroys all your active orbs. Thunder strikes a nearby enemy for each orb destroyed that way, dealing 55 damage.
• Tags: PassivePower, ActivatedWithDelay, Unique, NoCooldownReadySfx
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Upgraded Electrodynamics
    • "Upgraded: Orb maximum becomes 5"

Foresight

• Special Effects:
  • Discarding Electrodynamics draws Foresight, activating its passive:
    • Passive: You avoid the first damage source dealt to you. This effect recharges when you kill 8 enemies.
  • Activating Foresight discards the card, triggering a new effect:
    • Discard: You become immune to all sources of damage for 2 sec.
• Tags: PassivePower, Unique, NoCooldownReadySfx
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Upgraded Foresight
    • "Upgraded: Passive effect cooldown is reduced to 5 kills."

Notes

• Diverse Deck is always colorless. Because of this, even if a legendary version generates, it is not possible to use two at once.
• Cooldowns for this item are between drawing a card and discarding it.
• Each card has its own legendary affix.
• Tanking a hit with Foresight doesn't prevent flawless achievements and accessing No-Hit Doors.
• Cycling the deck does not refresh the number of kills to recover Foresight.
  • Killing enemies while Foresight isn't in hand does not increase enemy kill counter of the Foresight.
  • Certain enemy deaths do not count towards the counter. For example, Serenade(pet) does not count, but Serenade(in hand) does.
• Electrodynamics doesn't gain any orbs from items with the "ShortCooldown" tag such as Phaser, Grappling Hook, Cocoon, Infantry Grenade, Oil Grenade, Swarm, Wave of Denial, Leghugger, Maria's Cat and Taunt.
• Despite appearances, the orbs summoned by Electrodynamics are not like other projectiles, and are thus unaffected by the Point Blank mutation and do not enable Networking.
  • Though they are not melee either, and so do not interact with melee Mutations and Gear such as Combo, Front Line Shield and Vampirism.
• Electrodynamics can be used as a better version of Catalyst as it can have the "Poison on Hit" affix which gives it the poison synergy of Catalyst, while keeping the damage and electric synergy of Electrodynamics.
• Barricade Discard deals melee damage, while Electrodynamics Discard and Catalyst Discard deal ranged damage. All three attacks can be buffed by relevant mutations.

  • Foresight is based on the Watcher.

History

3.2: Introduced. 3.3: Reworked Foresight's passive, it's now based on an 8-kill cooldown instead of a 5-seconds cooldown. The "Upgraded Foresight" Legendary Affix now lowers the cooldown to 5 kills instead of 3 seconds.
