About this converter
Ironclad attacks print fixed base damage from 4 to 32. Thunderclap opens at 4, Iron Wave and Dropkick tied at 5, Strike, Anger and Perfected Strike tied at 6, Reckless Charge at 7, Bash and Cleave tied at 8, Headbutt, Pommel Strike and Sword Boomerang tied at 9, Feed at 10, Clothesline and Searing Blow tied at 12, Clash and Heavy Blade tied at 14, Hemokinesis at 15, Carnage at 20 and Bludgeon at 32. That makes one Bludgeon equal over five Strikes. Starter Strike at 6 anchors the whole ladder, so every midrange card reads as one to two Strikes. Every value here is the unupgraded print with rider effects noted where they ride along.
How to use it
Pick two cards and the unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first card, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in damage. Try 1 Bludgeon against Strikes.
Upgrades stay out of rows: Strike rises to 9 and Bash to 10 on plus, so bases are rowed with plus noted. Multi-hit cards total their hits: Sword Boomerang lands three hits of 3 for 9. Perfected Strike starts at 6 and gains 2 per Strike in deck. Heavy Blade starts at 14 with strength counting three times. Hemokinesis costs 2 HP for its 15. Carnage is Ethereal and vanishes if unplayed. Feed Exhausts and raises max HP on kills. Body Slam, Whirlwind and Rampage scale with block, energy and plays, so they stay out as unfixed. Bludgeon 32 against Strike 6 shows over five to one.
