Spoiler Alert!

R2T2: 1 wound on Angel. (self R-T R)
R2T2: 1 wound on Domino.

Bombs Away:
R2T1: lays and destroys bomb to put 1 wound on Cyclops.
R2T2: lays bomb

Moving Target:

Notes:
R1T1: Star-Lord puts 1 wound on Domino.
R1T2: Cyclops puts 4 wounds on Star-Lord(botch). Domino kills Star-Lord.
R1T3: Nebula puts 1 wound on Cyclops.
R2T2: Cyclops puts 1 wound on Nebula. Domino puts 2 wounds on Nebula.
R2T3: Cyclops kills Rocket and puts 2 wounds on Nebula with a 5 skull Special Attack. Domino kills Nebula.


Cyclops with 2/5 wounds, Domino with 2/4 wounds, Angel with 1/4 wounds, and Spider-Girl unwounded.

Felt like a reasonable back and forth match, but a couple botches on defense certainly led to the loss for the Guardians here. Star-Lord took 4 wounds off a botched defense, as did Rocket, which killed him.

Gamora was just dominated here, and did nothing herself damage wise. It was all Rocket's work for his team, other than Star-Lord's boost. Rocket did solid enough almost bringing it back, but Gambit finished things out.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
Rocket provides a nice team-up unit for the Guardians and in general. Getting essentially a double attack on his own turn, and providing an additional attack on other people's turn, is a nice bonus. His auto-shield and movement also give him some nice survivability. His bombs can be tricky to pull off, and dealing only 1 wound can make it a gamble on whether to rely on the 1 guaranteed wound, or the attack. I'm thinking 195 seems fair, and don't think anything from what I've seen justifies any higher.
