Introducing This Week's Spotlight.... DROPS!
Who are the drops?
Say hello to Wildcard’s elemental mischief-makers: the Drops. Each one brings a distinct energy — healing, havoc, or time-bending trickery — into the Arena. They're cute. They're chaotic. And they splat beautifully.
VITADROP
“Let it Ripple”
EVERYONE SMILES WHEN THEY SEE VITADROP. Friends and foes alike are alway surprised and delighted - for at least a minute. It happens like this: the little drop’s target gets a whiff of fresh popcorn, feels a teensy tickle, and poof! Taken out by the green grinning gelatin. Friendly fire? Vitadrop also showers teammates with healing. Earnest to almost a cringey degree, there’s no one better than Vitadrop at spreading joy, positivity, and the slightest trace of slime wherever they land.
In Game: ON SUMMON, attacks immediately if a teammate is in range. Provides OVERHEAL when it attacks.
Mana Cost: 2
House: Lubabub
CHRONODROP
“There’s always time for fun”
WELL, SURE, TIME FLIES - BUT THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR FUN. Chronodrop knows how to drop in and help their friends on the arena floor - and never hesitates to slow their foes into ridiculous positions. A fast talker and a fast friend, Chronodrop is wildly personable and surprisingly funny - after all, they’ve got great timing. But practicing temporal manipulation can also lead to racing thoughts - luckily Chronodrop spends most of their time thinking about how to help their team win at Wildcard!
In Game: ON SUMMON attacks immediately if opponents are in range. Creates a field of TIME DILATION when it attacks.
Mana Cost: 2
House: Chronos
LAVADROP
“It’s about to plop off”
THERE'S NOTHING SPONTANEOUS ABOUT LAVADROP'S COMBUSTION. He’s always ready to fling some flames onto the arena floor. Everyone notices when Lavadrop plops into the action - and you better believe they know to watch out for that not-so-friendly fire! A notorious accomplice to all sorts of risky fun, Lavadrop also has a practical side - his side-hustle selling the magma stones he spews has sparked a hot new jewelry trend. His team spirit always shines through - and the steam sauna he powers only adds to his team’s esteem.
In Game: ON SUMMON attacks immediately if opponents are in range. Creates a lava pool when it attacks.
Mana Cost: 1
House: Malus
How do you use Drops?
Once you summon a Drop, they dive in, trigger their unique effect (like healing, burning, or slowing), and then disappear. Each Drop uses their ability once and is KO’d in the process.
They’re squishy, splashy, and highly tactical... when timed right, they can turn the tide of a fight.
Stay Wild, play smart, and keep those Drops flying. See you in the Arena!
