Overwhelming Swing (Yellow)

Overwhelming Swing’s first ability is an additional-cost ability that sets an additional resource cost to play it based on the number of cards currently defending on the active chain link (including equipment.) If this number increases or decreases after Overwhelming Swing is played, the resource cost to play Overwhelming Swing will not retroactively change.

Overwhelming Swing has a targeted resolution ability: when you play it, you must declare a weapon attack as the target.

X is variable until Overwhelming Swing resolves. If a card is added as defending in between Overwhelming Swing being played and resolving, the value of X will change. After Overwhelming Swing resolves, X will not change relative to the number of cards that are defending the targeted weapon attack.

If no cards are defending the target weapon, then X is 1. If 1 card is defending the target weapon, then X is 3. If 2 cards are defending, then X is 5, etc.
