Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 260
- Give a brief overview.This was an Absolute slaughter. Cap, Bucky and Falcon took out the entire opposing team in short order while the opposing team struggled to deal with Cap and Winter.
Map: X Marks the Spot
Units: Blade, Iron Man (Avengers), Spider-Man (Avengers), Ms. Marvel (Kamela) (1,000) vs Cap I, Winter Soldier (Team Up), Falcon (MCU), Super Soldier (1,000)
THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: He's definitely draftable and useful but isn't too difficult to take down with some concentrated fire. I'm thinking we should stick to 260 going into public testing and see how he fares there.
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: He's definitely an offensive threat and can usually withstand one or two rounds of strong attacks. He definitely is someone that you want someone else in place to take the heat off of him first so he's not quite as big of a target early on.
