C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT (Blink)

- 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.
I don’t know if it is thematic for the character but she Phase Javelined a Sentinel (huge) away from her when she could not have Blinked away with a Sentinel in tow.

- 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. Not sure where to put this, but using Phase Javelin with double based figures is a bit tricky. I assume you can count from either side of the base, however if you can choose which side to start from you can manipulate where they end by 1 space which may prove important on a lava map. If you roll a 1 & Blink is adj. to both sides of the base, do you just move 1 side of the base 1 space away or both bases 1 space away? It is also quite possible for your roll to result in a double based figure ending up on uneven ground, which is not allowed so does that cancel out the power or do you reroll for a new result?

- FUN TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play. Pass, with a note: Being that Phase Javelin is her only unique offensive talent, it is quite disappointing when you roll a number too big to be used or a number too low to have much, if any effect at all on the game. I rolled for Phase Javelin 3 times in the two games, a 13, a 2, & a 20. Only 1 of those 3 rolls was useful. Most often after a low number is rolled, the unit will be able to just move back into place on the next OM. Also many of the high numbers have the potential for no effect due to moving the figure off the edge of the board. That is a lot of potential for disappointment. I’d suggest adding the following to the end of the power:

If this rolls only result is that the figure is moved completely off the game board, place the figure on the hex of the game board furthest away from its current location.

Then while the low numbers may or may not be of much use, at least all high numbers are useful.

- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play against. Pass

- DRAFTING TEST/ Consider whether or not this design is worth drafting. Pass, with a base att. of 4 and base def. of 5 she has better stats then Hawkeye for 5 less points, plus she can bond with Jubilee.

- USAGE TEST/ Consider whether or not all of the powers on this card were used or at least usable. Pass

- STRATEGY TEST/ Consider whether or not the design offers any real strategy or interesting tactics to the overall game. Pass

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 145
- Give a brief overview.
Storm rolled defense dice just twice and had no shields on 10 die, so she exited very early in the game. Strong Guy made up for her lack of presence by hulking out and smashing the Sentinels to bits. In the end the 1 att. Sentinels just could not stand up to the 2 att. per round provided via Prof. X. Blink did Phase Javelin away a Sentinel when surrounded, which had little impact due to Sentinel Networking & Mutant Alert, but I can see how vs. a different army it would be quite helpful for taking the pressure off when under heavy assault.
