SuperHeroScape™: SHIELD and Skrulls 10/8

Maybe he won the Infinity Battle, sir, but not the Infinity War.

[NecroBlade]

"Infinity Battle" does have quite the same ring to it.

I go back and forth on removing the OM requirement from the game-winning clause. On the one hand, winning the game is a big deal, on the other is the gauntlet collecting 7 glyphs with one figure is already incredibly difficult. Unlike the heroes, though, these glyphs have undergone exactly 0 playtesting. This is just the first pas, really. Anyway, here's a couple stones:



Yep, that's what it does.


Combo that with this bad boy to really rack up some kills. You're limited to returning one Soul at a time so things don't get too crazy. But it could also be fun to just grab a Viking or Wolf with a Spirit and give you opponent one of these (I'll probably add explicit language to make it prevent Marro Warriors and Zombies from being able to come back, too.)

The Undead have no souls.

It's funny to see you put more effort into compatibility with Valhalla than the official designers did.

That's fair. I may include "Undead are not affected" in there somewhere.

Is it? The official designers didn't necessarily put 0 effort into compatibility, especially when they're on record saying they tested Hulk vs the Roman Legion, for example. And I put no special effort into Soul, either, merely stating what would happen with certain interactions, and those happen to be the only official cases where it matters.

Here's another combo:



Bend your surroundings to your will, both to your benefit and the detriment of your foes.



And with things laid bare, no one is safe when you can fling them or yourself around.

I like Reality, Space is solid but I feel like you should be able to move yourself anywhere.

Reality is probably the most unusual effect and my favorite. I'll keep that in mind for Space if/when I ever actually test these. I felt like erring on the side of restraint, though, since it's already a 3-space teleport with Disengage for any figure, every turn.

[Tornado]

Yeah but in the comics it allows you to traverse the universe. 3 spaces feels like too much restraint.

[IAmBatman]

No disengage there. They'll still take leaving engagement attacks. They just won't take any passing swipes.

I know you're a busy guy making 4x as many posts as I do, but it's in the OP. Maybe I should put more effort into my posts instead of compatibility with official Heroscape.

[IAmBatman]

Gotcha. Objection withdrawn.

[NecroBlade]

The last two gems have been collected. Nobody snap their fingers.



Pretty simple. We already know what Mind Exchange does. Now even more figures can have it. Maybe they could practice bouncing their Exchanges off each other?




But I can tell this isn't disco enough for you.* So how about four turns in a row? Take a turn, Exchange a Mind, trip a Time Gem for another turn, then another Exchange! It can only be done once per game, though, so time it well. But once should be enough.


*Name that MCU movie for 10 trillion points.
