100pt. Hatamoto Taro?

[Ikari]

It looks like either the designers decided to change the point cost for the flagbearers or there is an error in the new site. Hamtaro is now 100 points.
THere are also minor changes to Gilbert and I think Laglor

Looks like an "Oops!" on their part. That card image is obviously pre-production (notice the die cut guideline along the edges of the card.)

Wait I do see the dice now.
Man that got my hopes up for the Samurai squads.

Doesn't Hamoto have 2 attack as well?

[AgentX-127]

Checked them all, and confirmed that points for Sir Gilbert, Laglor, and Hatamoto are all incorrect. I didn't check every stat, just the point cost.

Character_ Incorrect Correct
Gilbert____ 100______ 105
Laglor_____120______110
Hatamoto__100______130

This may be useful in providing some insight in the way the designers assign and tweak point costs. Looking at the change made to Hatamoto as the most dramatic, but it included a slight bump in attack power too.

One of the flag bearers is also listed twice. Guess we'll be doing the torture testing.

Also check the wording on the Taro Defense Aura special. It makes no reference to only being for adjacent, normal attacks.

He would truly rock if he worked that way; they should have left him like that.

I wonder if maybe possibly...they are changing the flag bearers?

I know this is highly unlikely, but this is a brand new site and you would think the site designers would have had the most up to date information.

Laglor going up in price makes sense to me as does Taro's special being less restrictive.

It seems to me like they made each flag bearer what they should be, and more fair.

I would really love that - Taro needs that to give him any chance of being playable and i would still pay 120 for Laglor anyday. Plus, that extra 5 on Gilbert is just........ meh.

Yeah, and the way Mr. Yee talks about Hatamoto being so critical makes me wonder even more.

One more thought, as the only exclusives on the offical website, the designers may have plans to make the flagbearers more integral to the game (more use of the flagbearer dice in the future?).

Other differences I noticed:

Ornak's bonding ability also takes place on Order Marker 3 rather than the first.
Orc Battle Cry is adjacent only.

I hope so.
