High Voltage: Overdrive Returns June 11 High Voltage: Overdrive is back to keep the energy HIGH! The new character Quicksand will be available on the Free Reward Track. If you’re looking for something with a bit more sparkle, there’s a brand-new Premium Variant of Quicksand awaiting players on the Premium Track. Catch Overdrive from June 11–18 at server reset.
What is High Voltage: Overdrive?
The original High Voltage mode condensed the traditional rules of SNAP into three action-packed turns. Each turn gives more energy, so you could play more cards and line up massive combos in a short game. For Overdrive, we wanted to build on the fun of High Voltage, so we made the Arc unstable… and now it’s causing all kinds of chaos. Decks in this mode will have eight randomly charged cards shuffled in, and when a total of five have been played by both players, the Reactor will explode with a GIANT effect such as destroying low-power characters, giving charged cards +5 power, or even transforming them into brand new cards. There are no cubes or points to lose in High Voltage: Overdrive, so you should always feel encouraged to try and win! There’s no downside to trying out new decks or fun new strategies, so you can build a deck, jump in, and play immediately. Complete missions to earn Volts and XP, which can be used in the new High Voltage: Overdrive Shop. The event also offers a Premium Pass in addition to its regular reward track offerings.
How do you play?
High Voltage: Overdrive is played over four turns instead of the regular three of High Voltage. At the start of the game, 8 charged cards are shuffled into your deck, each getting –1 cost and +1 power. In place of the Cube where you would normally Snap, you’ll have an Arc Reactor. Before the first three turns, the Arc Reactor will generate between 2 and 4 Max Energy to add to your total, which can then be used to play out your master plan. Your opponent will always receive the same amount of Max Energy that you do, so there’s no guessing how much they have.
How long will High Voltage: Overdrive last?
High Voltage: Overdrive will start at 12 PM PT (daily reset) on June 11 and will end on June 18 at the daily reset. The Event Shop will stay open for an additional 48 hours and close on June 20.
