CHARGED SONIC CANNON SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 5 + Special.
Choose 3 spaces in a straight line from Klaw. All figures on the chosen spaces, and all figures other than Klaw within 1 space of the chosen spaces, are affected by this special attack. Roll 1 fewer attack die for each space Klaw moved this turn. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Symbiotes roll 1 fewer defense die against this special attack.

SONIC DISRUPTION
After an enemy figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Klaw rolls defense against a normal attack from a figure you control, you may roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if the enemy figure is a Symbiote and adding 2 to the roll if the attacking figure has the Ambitious or Brilliant personality. If you roll 10 or higher, subtract one skull, shield, or blank from the enemy figure's defense.

BODY OF SOUND
Once per round, when Klaw is attacked by an opponent's figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may ignore the attack. You may then either roll an unblockable attack die against a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Klaw or remove 2 Wound Markers from this Army Card.

SUPER STRENGTH

Army Test
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: Grim Reaper, Wizard, Radioactive Man, Klaw VS Black Panther, Iron Man 270, Giant Man, Hawkeye 150

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R1T3 Black Panther - 1 wound (could have been 5 but Klaw failed the d20 roll for Sonic Disruption
R2T1 Black Panther 1 wound
R3T3 Giant Man 1 wound - via Body of Sound
R4T1 Giant Man 2 wounds - Sonic Cannon
R4T3 Giant Man 1 wound - Sonic Cannon - dead


Charged Sonic Cannon: Used twice on Giant Man doing 3 wounds. Many times a normal attack was better so he could us Sonic Disruption.

Sonic Disruption: Was used often, its better that its limited to normal attacks. Played a roll in 5 attacks, twice removing shields from Black Panther and the same for Iron Man. Once Klaw would have killed Black Panther on a roll of 5 skulls, but missed the d20 roll and Blank Panther instead only took 1 would. Bonding teams with multiple attacks, ithis can really be a weapon rolling multiple times a turn.

Body of Sound: Only used once as Klaw wasn't the main target for most of the game. Did do 1 wound with it in R3T3 on Giant Man.

5 round game, where Grim Reaper and co took the win. The bonding turns with Grim Reaper gave his side the advantage early. Taking boosted double attacks with Wizard and then an attack with Grim Reaper gave Klaw multiple opportunities to roll for Sonic Disruption. Wizard was able to grab early height and did damage on both Black Panther and Iron Man, both of whom were out of the game by the end of round 2. Round 3 saw the Avengers make a small come back by dropping Grim Reaper. In round 4 they also took out Radioactive Man, but by that point it was too late. Klaw and his Special Attack was able to drop Giant Man and get around his stout defense, while Wizard chased down Hawkeye who was trying and failing to runaway and shoot from range. By turn 1 of round 5 it was over. Wizard and Klaw are a good combo together.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Wizard full 4 life, Klaw full 5 life.

Army Test
Map: City Park
Units: Kingpin 220, Gundam 300, Winter Soldier 240(Assassin), Klaw VS Luke Cage, Songbird, Spider-Man 250, Ronin, Daredevil 200

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R2T2 Ronin 1 wound - Dead
R2T3 Daredevil 1 wound - Sonic Cannon
R3T1 Daredevil 2 wounds - Sonic Cannon
R3T2 Daredevil 1 wound - Ignored

Charged Sonic Cannon: Used 3 times doing 3 wounds to Daredevil. Used Special Attack more than normal attack to avoid Songbird defensive buff.

Sonic Disruption: Only rolled for a couple of times as both Kingpin in the Gundam and Klaw were using Special Attacks more.

Body of Sound: Used twice, both for unblockable attacks, which both missed. Should have used it differently in round 3, it would have kept Klaw around for another round where he could have healed.

Kingpin started in the Gundam and Winter Soldier picked Luke Cage as his Mark. Round 1 was all movement except for Winter Soldier hitting Ronin for 1 wound from long range. Round 2 the action started to pick up. Kingpin hit Ronin for 2 woulds from range. Ronin returned fire doing 3 wounds to Winter Soldier. Klaw got in an attack on Ronin, doing a wound and taking him out, while Kingpin hit Cage from range for a wound. Songbird swooped in and hit Winter Soldier for his last 2 wounds and Daredevil popped Klaw for a wound. Klaw returned the favor giving Daredevil a wound. Luke Cage closed the distance and hit the Gundam for a wound. Round 3 started with Klaw doing 2 wounds on Daredevil and Kingpin hitting Cage for 1 wound. Songbird hit Klaw for a wound, who ignored it and tried to use Body of Sound on Cage but missed. Cage hit back giving the Gundam another wound. Klaw and Kingpin both have their next attacks blocked. Songbird hits Klaw for 3 wounds, Klaw should have waited to ignore this attack. Klaw hit Daredevil for 1 wound but Daredevil ignores it. Spider-Man ends the round by webbing up Klaw and taking him out. Rounds 4 and 5 were Cage, Songbird and Spider-Man wearing down first the Gundam and then Kingpin. By the end of round 5 it was over.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Spider-Man full 5 life, Songbird 2 wounds/3 life left.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: 240 points seems right. His class of Criminal fits his theme and allows for lots of easy builds. He works great with Wizard and his ranged double attack.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Klaw has the ability to be a real presence even without attacking directly. His Sonic Disruptions on normal attacks keeps him in the thick of things. Body of sound is a fun power that allows you to be offensive or defensive with it. Klaw is a full toolbox unit. I'm interested to see how other people use him.
