Card Types
Here's a quick overview of the types of cards in OverPower.
Power cards
Power cards can be used for offensive and defensive actions in OverPower. There are 6 types of Power cards: Energy, Fighting, Strength, Intellect, Multipower, and Any-Power. Each Power card also has a listed value, ranging from 1 to 8. Multipower Power cards act as wildcards and have either 3 or 4 icons.
To determine if a character may play a certain Power card, compare the value and type on the Power card to the character's corresponding stat. If the value on the Power card is less than or equal to the stat, the Power card may be used.
For Multipower cards, the type may be declared upon attack provided the character has a stat that is equal or higher than the Multipower Power card. For example, Scarlet Witch (7/3/2/5) plays a Level 3 Multipower Power card, she may declare it as Energy, Fighting or Intellect but not Fighting. Likewise, if Scarlet Witch were to play a Level 4 Multipower Power card, she may declare it as Energy or Intellect, but not Fighting or Strength.
For Any-Power Power cards, the type should never be declared. To determine if a character can play an Any-Power Power card, look at the characters highest stat, if it is equal or higher than the Any-Power Power card. However, if the Any-Power Power card is combined with a Universe card, the Any-Power Power card temporarily matches the type of bonus provided by the Universe card and should be considered of that type until after the defensive turn. Any-Power Power cards should never count toward Spectrum KO.
