So a unit I control has Searing Burst Cannon attached. I declare an attack on an enemy unit with a Heavy Marker Drone attached to it and no shields are used.
What happens?
Nuclear explosion. 8 damage, assuming you were attacking with Starblaze with no other buffs.
I suppose the damage is doubled when "dealt" due to the drones passive and then, if the opponent plays no shields, the damage "taken" is doubled. In that particular case, the original attack value would get an awesome x4 damage.
(Ninja!)
That is awesome to hear. I guess if you had access to No Mercy, that would just be Janky. lol.
I think I'll add a copy to my deck just for shenanigans.
EDIT: Just realized that would require another unique unit for No Mercy to kick in. So I don't think this is viable.
A shield card counts as used for the purpose of Searing Burst Cannon resolution even if the effect have been cancelled by No Mercy.

It should also be noted that Searing Burst Cannon does not work with Area Effect.
