NAME OF THE TEST UNIT (Mass Master)


The figure used for this playtest is the Blue Wymling.

- THEME TEST/ Check to see if there are any powers or stats on the test unit card that does not accurately reflect the theme or likeness of what the character would and could do. Also consider destructible objects, and whether or not this characters powers should affect them.
PASS

- MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game.
PASS

- BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding.
PASS

- SYNERGIES TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing synergies to make sure there are no factors that could break the game by making any unit to powerful or too weak.
PASS

- POWER CHECK/ Consider the test unit and all existing units and all glyphs to compare to and check for any powers that could be over amplified and break the game. Each power must define when it takes place, who or what it affects, and What are the stipulations on the power if there are any.
PASS

- FUN TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play.
Hard to tell. Should be better when the rest of Power Pack is made.

- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play against.
Not very competitive. He was squashed like a bug in both army tests.

- DRAFTING TEST/ Consider whether or not this design is worth drafting.
Not really. I could get a nice squad of Street Thugs or Hand Ninjas for around the same cost.

- USAGE TEST/ Consider whether or not all of the powers on this card were used or at least usable.
Not really usable. Again I would have to see how he will fit in with the rest of Power Pack. (I am assuming they are in the works)

- STRATEGY TEST/ Consider whether or not the design offers any real strategy or interesting tactics to the overall game.
If you can get him on a high spot, the CLOUD COVER can protect him from range. Also Jack Hammer can be a real pain when Mass Master has height advantage.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? YES
- What should be the unit's point value? 80 points
- Give a brief overview. Mass Master did not last very long. I put Molly Hayes in this army but I never got a chance to use KYMELLIAN HEALING FACTOR. With only 3 life, MODOK made quick work of him.
Map: Highways and Dieways
Units: Player 1: Mass Master, Deadpool, and Molly Hayes 545 Points
Player 2: MODOK, Mole Man, and Moloids X9 550 Points

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1:
Player 2 wins initiative and moves Mole Man and some Moloids. Player 1 moves Deadpool up onto the road. Player 2 then moves MODOK towards the center of the board. Player 1 then moves Deadpool and attacks and kills a Moloid. Deadpool also tries to attack MODOK, but misses. Player 2 then attacks Deadpool with Mole Man and Moloids and misses both. Deadpool then attacks two Moloids and kills one.


The map after the first round.

Round 2
Player 1 wins initiative and moves Mass Master forward. Player 2 then attacks Deadpool with Mole Man and lands 2 wounds. The Moloids then attack Deadpool and land no wounds. Deadpool then attacks more Moloids and kills 2 of them. MODOK then attacks Deadpool and places 1 wound. MODOK is then able to take control of Deadpool through his Poisonic Command. Deadpool engauges Mass Master and put 2 wounds on him. Player 1 then takes a turn with Deadpool and attacks Mole Man and puts 3 wounds on him. Mole man and his Moloids then attack and place 2 wounds on Deadpool.


The map after the second round.

Round 3
Player 2 get to go first and killed Deadpool with Mole Man and his Moloids. Player 1 then moves Mass Master and attacks a Moloid while having height advantage. Player 1 leaves the cloud cover marker on Mass Master because he has height advantage on the Moloid and can use the protection of CLOUD COVER. Player 2 then moves MODOK next to Mass Master and kills him. Player 1 then has no turn. MODOK then moves to a point were he can attack Molly Hayes with height advantage. He lands a wound and then gets to take a turn with her. This also causes Molly to take a fatigue marker because she moved. (MODOK really puts the hurton Molly Hayes. By making her move after getting a wound it really makes the fatigue markers add up fast.)


The map after the third round.

Round 4
Player 1 moves Molly Hayes, but she cannot get to MODOK. MODOK then attacks Molly Hayes and lands 2 wounds. MODOK then get to moves Molly Hayes with Poisonic Command. Molly then falls asleep. MODOK then kills Molly Hayes.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Player 2 wins with MODOK, Mole Man with 3 wounds and 4 moloids.

Angel then kills another Skrull Warrior. Player 2 then moves Super Skrull and attacks Molly Hayes and misses. Molly Hayes then attacks Super Skrull and is killed by his bounce back power.

This picture shows how Mass Master can get height advantage and use his CLOUD COVER very effectively.


This is the map at the end of round 2.

Prof. X then attacks Super Skrull and misses. Next the remaining Skrull Warrior attacks Prof. X, but is stopped by Poisonic Defense X. Prof X tries to attack Super Skrull again, but misses.


Angel gets to experience HOT LAVA DEATH!!!

Round 5:
Super Skrull attacks Professor X, but he stops the attack. Prof X tries to attack Super Skrull and misses. Super Skrull then attacks Prof. X and kills him!!
Who won and how many wounds did they have?Player 2 wins with 4 wounds on Super Skrull and 1 Skrull Warrior left.

In closing I would say that 80 points works for him. Using JACK HAMMER with height advantage can be a little painful. He feels like a great piece of a larger puzzle. I assume that the rest of the Power Pack is in the works and they will all work together has a team some how. As it stands right now I feel the piece is balanced and does what it is supposed to do but due to his weak defense and only 3 life I can't see him really fitting a any type of army right now. I hope to see the rest of Power Pack in the future!!

Yes the remaining Power Pack will help a lot, providing easier healing, slight OM flexibility and some speed. Should make for a nice little team. Oh and he certainly works well with some parents like Mr. and Mrs. Reed. Thanks for your test.
