-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Omega Effect can destroy multiple-Life heroes in one attack with a roll of 19 or higher.
• Imposing Presence causes opponents' figures engaged with Darkseid to subtract an attack and defense die. All figures are affected, but those with Range can avoid the penalties and Special Attacks are, as usual, not affected.
• Parademon Shock Troopers support Darkseid well; their Rule the Skies special power allows him to make multiple attempts with his Omega Effect Special Attack without being engaged easily.

Re: The Book of Darkseid
 

NAME = DARKSEID
SECRET IDENTITY = UXAS

SPECIES = NEW GOD
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CONQUEROR
PERSONALITY = OBSESSIVE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 6

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 8
DEFENSE = 7

POINTS = 380

OMEGA EFFECT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 6. Attack 7.
If Darkseid's Omega Effect Special Attack inflicts at least one wound, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 19 or higher, destroy the defending figure. If the defending figure does not receive any wounds from Omega Effect Special Attack, place one wound marker on this card. No clear line of sight is needed when attacking with Omega Effect Special Attack. Darkseid may not attack adjacent figures with Omega Effect Special Attack.

IMPOSING PRESENCE
Opponent's figures engaged with Darkseid subtract 1 die from their normal Attack number and 1 die from their Defense number, to a minimum of 1 die each.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING




Excellent Necro. But what does this mean at the bottom?

He subtracts 1 from your normal attack, so there there are lots of "melee" and "non-melee" units with a special attack that cannot be modified by his Imposing Presence.

Re: The Book of Darkseid
 

You could also put something about the superstrength symbol (that's what GO did for Hawkgirl - you could just copy the text from there).
We don't really list on units with special attacks what sorts of special defensive powers they bypass, do we? That seems like it'd be overkill (just asking before I suggest putting anything down about Man of Steel or Heroic Duty, etc.).

Re: The Book of Darkseid
 

Yeah, I agree.

Re: The Book of Darkseid
 

IMO, Omega Beam doesn't need a list because the explanation is so straight forward. However, I think Imposing Prescence line could be reworded. How's this?
Imposing Presence causes opponents' figures engaged with Darkseid to subtract an attack and defense die. As with most powers, this power does not effect Special Powers or Abilites, therefore only those with Range and/or a Special Attack can avoid it at all.

Re: The Book of Darkseid
 

That's not true, though ... you can avoid it by not engaging (turtling), you can avoid it with a special power that's not an attack but has a range like Acid Breath ... technically melee special attacks only avoid the attack penalty and not the defensive one ...

I think some of our own members need to read the cards a bit more ;)

This info belongs directly under the cards in the first post. Use this as an example.
