Re: Groot (Public Playtesting)
NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Groot
Version tested:
Spoiler Alert!
Army Test Map: Cell Games Arena Units: Groot (250), Rocket Raccoon (Pilot) (200), Star-Lord (250), Mantis (200), Guldo (100) vs Fantastic Four NOTE: During this playtest, I mistakenly ran Groot as requiring adjacency to use Ragtag Protection, however, since this match ended ultimately in a victory for the Guardians anyway, Groot's strengths are still well-demonstrated here.
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test Map: Cell Games Arena Units: Groot (250), Rocket Raccoon (Warden) (170), Star-Lord (250), Mantis (200), Green Arrow (Connor Hawke) (130) vs TMNT and Splinter
Spoiler Alert!
In addition, there was a game between these against the TMNT and Splinter with the same line-up as the other TMNT game. I wrote it off because I'd worked with Rag-Tag Protection on adjacency and spent a lot of game with figures not adjacent to Groot, and therefore not using it (unlike the Fantastic Four game where I kept people next to Groot and did use it.) This game was a loss for the Guardians. The only thing I'd specifically note from that game is that Groot's Entangling Roots were very ineffective agains the Turtles and their combat flips. THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: 250 seems pretty reasonable for Groot. He's not the toughest guy in the game, but having an extra 7 life on the field you can use to keep people like Star-Lord alive with is strong. Fits well into any GotG team but obviously especially wants Rocket there. GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Entangling Roots loves a match-up where the opponent has one main melee heavy hitter (the FF) but doesn't fare so great when you're being rushed by multiple melee units who have additional move abilities (the TMNT). Definitely felt like a consequential figure in both games, but had more impact against the FF. Works better with Pilot Rocket than Warden Rocket in my eyes- Pilot Rocket enjoys having an automatic height advantage spot to run back to for defence after dropping bombs, and Pilot Rocket's free attack actions mean he benefits more consistently from that height advantage offensively too. As raised in the Discord, I do think it's worth considering that Ragtag Protection should transfer Heat damage status from the intended targets- it feels like making a choice between Star-Lord taking a wound or Groot taking 2 wounds due to weakness is worth having, mechanically and thematically. |

Re: Groot (Public Playtesting)
Yeah, I was going to suggest something similar
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Groot (VOTE for Final Editing/Art)
Sweet. I propose we go to final editing, and since the text has been pretty thoroughly checked over, I'll probably go straight to art.

Italicize all the Rocket Raccoon references. "damage type" should be lowercase. |

Re: Groot (VOTE for Final Editing/Art)
Thanks Archie! Looks like I lost the italics when I copy/pasted Karat's edits without quoting first. Rookie mistake!
