Re: The Book of Stronghold (Public Testing)
C3G PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Stronghold
Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 185?
- Give a brief overview. This was an intense game that was fairly heavily weighted towards Harada's team but the Legionnaires did just enough before falling that Brainiac pulling out all the stops almost turned the tide single handedly! Had Harada had only 8 life in this game he would have fallen at the end of Round 3, so it essentially gave him 4 more rounds of Bonding (the 4th he got 2 turns before being taken out).
Map: Sewer Labyrinth
Units: Stronghold, Ion, Harada, Living Mummy, Robin (1,200) vs Bouncing Boy, Lightning Lad, Shadow Lass, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy (1,200)

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 185?
- Give a brief overview. Wounds were being thrown around left and right in this game. Red Skull II is crazy good and Cap felt mostly unnecessary. Stronghold didn't get to do too much after taking that Supernova hit. Reptile with his Acid Combo backed by Red Skull were the game changers here. I actually forgot to adjust and played him at 185 here.
Map: Sewer Labyrinth
Units: Stronghold, Reptile, Crimson Dynamo, Red Skull II, Cap (1,000) vs Fan 4
Spoiler Alert!
Cap makes Crimson, Skull, Reptile, and Stronghold Avengers.
R1
Fan 4 have initiative. In T1 the entire Fan 4 move out; Cap moves up. In T2 Fantastic moves up; Stronghold moves up. In T3 Thing and Fantastic move up; Crimson moves up.
R2
Fan 4 have initiative. In T1 Invisible flies up, Torch engages Crimson, and Fantastic moves in; Skull reveals the X and moves up. In T2 Torch disengages flaming on to give Crimson 2 wounds and flies into the middle of the enemy going Supernova but only successfully gives Stronghold 3 wounds and fully charges him, Invisible flies up, Thing runs into engagement with Crimson who blocks with the help of Skull, and Fantastic moves up next to Invisible; Cap steps into the swamp and with the help of Skull hits Invisible for 4 wounds! In T3 Torch engages Crimson giving him a wound, Thing finishes off Crimson, and Fantastic stretch walks into engagement with Stronghold and Cap hitting Cap for a wound (thanks to Skull); Reptile moves up taking out Invisible and giving Thing 5 wounds over 2 attacks with his Acid Combo backed by Skull!
R3
Fan 4 have initiative. In T1 Thing finishes off Dynamo, and Fantastic misses Cap; In T1 Skull reveals the X and engages and one shots Fantastic! In T2 OM on Fantastic; Cap climbs out of the Muck. In T3 OM on Fantastic; Stronghold backed by Skull removes 2 markers (+2 dice -3 Defense) blasting Skull for 3 wounds!
R4
Fan 4 have initiative. In T1 Thing moves in and Clobbers Stronghold (+3); Skull reveals the X but can't break Thing's defense. In T2 Torch engages Skull; OM on Stronghold. In T3 Thing climbs out of the water and Clobbers Cap (+3) but can't dent that shield; OM on Stronghold.
R5
Fan 4 have initiative. In T1 Thing Clobbers Cap (+3) but his fist rebounds of the shield; Skull reveals the X and hits Torch for a wound. In T2 Torch hits Skull for a wound; Cap steps up and Throws his Shield finishing off Torch and Thing for the win.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? The Treacherous Avengers won with Cap and Red Skull both bearing 1/5 wounds and Reptile unwounded.
THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: He's a lot of fun but has a bit of a glass jaw. I think to hit 195 he need a defense bump or a life bump to help him stay a little longer. Definitely would draft him with or without Harada.
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: He's scary but a few concentrated hits, especially from defense reducers and he will fall fast. While playing I did find myself wanting to burn a marker to be able to make a second attack with BSA. Could be a cool 4th option, but then that plus the 2 marker might be the go to.
