Hello friends! Here is an update of the newest happenings in Animation Throwdown. *** # New Skills We just pushed three new skills in game!  **Hijack** - Negates the first {x} points of attack increase put on the card across from this card each turn, and temporarily gives this card the negated attack value.  **Bodyguard** - Block {x} amount of damage from skills to this card and adjacent cards passively. Uses the highest Bodyguard available.  **Give** - Give a random card {y} skill with {x} value. For example: Give a random card Punch 5. The following article will be updated today: https://animationthrowdown.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/226981207-What-are-skills-traits-and-what-do-they-do- # Combo Updates In addition to this, these new skills have been added to 5 new combos in the Standard Set. Discover these combos today! * Stewie + Athletic cards = ??? * Leela + Art cards = ??? * Louise + Air Vehicle cards = ??? * Boomhauer + Alcohol cards = ??? * Francine + Art cards = ??? # Mythic and Legendary Buffs [As previously mentioned](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/727066-general/topics/731179-official-legendary-and-mythic-buffs), the team is buffing (increasing the stats of) all Mythics and Legendary cards (which will automatically make the combos better). These buffs will happen next week. Along with the Mythic and Legendary buffs, the following Epics will also receive a buff. * Rupert * Golden Turd * Burger Suit * Alamo Beer * Virtuvian Man * ~~Planet Express Ship~~ (This was incorrect and should have been Virtuvian Man) Here is an example of some of the updates that are coming: https://cdn3.kongcdn.com/assets/files/0002/0191/buffupdates.png  # Steam Animation Throwdown is coming to Steam!

Yay! I have all those characters and epic cards! I'm excited for all of this... It's so awesome!

Hi, thank you so much. Are you guys preparing the different areas for players

Nice 1

Sounds great!

Just when I recycle 15 planet express ship lol

hijack is bugged when the opponent gets motivated by a neighboring card!

For the mythic and legendary buffs, is it just the attack and health that is improving or are skills improving/being added as well?

Hijack is buggy. I got highjack effect of EC (motivate attack) from an FC card which was adjacent to Gas Class and it hijacked my attack 6 (or more) times making the attach of Francine Painting about 80+ point attach. Got smashed and lost a lot of point in challenge, thanks a lot

Sounds pretty good, but it broke motivate. It's not activating now.

Motivate annimation seem brocker, but I believe it's there, yet I'm not sure anymore @ShinnyMetalMod, @Kongregate, Have you heard of the term Roll back!!?? cuz you should roll back this since it's buggier than ever!

Motivate doesn't work.

Motivate is definitely broken now.

Leela + Art = Goddess of beauty...  Tasty treat for my 6 maxed v-men! New power combo for my thinker ape / anally defaced deck.

Kongregate i want you to chnage the recycling thing because you made me recycle a legendary card which is very valuable to me for accident. You made me recycle it because i was used to when the gyggitwatts where at the front and they didnt change yoir INVENTORY when you switched from ddck to recycle. I want my legendary rogers closet back it wasn't upgraded but i was reaserching with it to start using it and also i want you to make it how it was before.

And when you play it, it looks like Leela had gender-reassignment surgery. :)

This is a bold defacing of core combo's such as padding Peggy. The first two skills directly weaken her progression from her punch to her crazed . I think it's unfitting to have such counter.
