The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA) Age of Anihiltion - 2024 Promotional Figure Basic Card:
Spoiler Alert!
Sgt. Drake Alexander is available as a pre-order promo for Wave 1 of Heroscape in 2024. Obtainable with a purchase of Master Set, Battle Box, or both from the Renegade Webstore. Or available at participating local game stores. Sgt. Drake Alexander will be available for purchase on the Renegade webstore after the promotional period ends. Age of Anihilation Character Bio: Drake Alexander has always been a man of principle. On Earth, he fought to defend the rights and liberties of his fellow humans from the encroaching Reich. During a fateful battle, moments before his certain death, the Valkyrie Jandar intervened. Drake’s noble heart now beats in the strange and distant land of Valhalla. Jandar promised Drake that if he fought against the vile Utgar, he would one day be returned to his homeland. As have so many before him, Drake agreed; and though time and countless battles have since passed, Drake is no closer to seeing Jandar’s promise fulfilled. Through it all, one of his closest friends remains the Kyrie Raelin. She may appear now to have joined the enemy, but Drake knows better, and he remains at the ready to aid her however he can. (Renegade Game Studios) Swarm of the Marro Character Bio: Drake Alexander is often commandeered as one of Jandar’s most skilled and deadliest warriors. Sgt. Alexander was once a soldier in World War II. On Valhalla, his command of Jandar’s Northern Army and his fearless heroics in battle have become legendary. Now, Drake Alexander has a new mission. He leads a special squad of heroes through the Volcarren Wasteland and into the deadly uncharted swamp. With a new grappling-gun attached to his arm, a gift from Zetacron, Drake Alexander moves through all levels of the Ticalla Jungle like a shadow. The jungle holds a dangerous mystery, and if anyone can bring back information on what that danger might be, it’s the Sergeant and his team of heroes. (Hasbro) Rise of the Valkyrie Character Bio: Though he is incredibly agile and strong in hand-to-hand combat, Sergeant Alexander was injured and weaponless after being whisked away to Valhalla by Jandar. Healed by the Valkyrie Kelda, he was then given two powerful weapons by Jandar: The Katana of Thorian, and Bleakwood's Grapple Gun. He learned to use them quickly, for Jandar's forces were already under attack. The Katana, an enchanted sword that channels the powers of the great warrior Thorian, obscures Alexander's image from afar, making him almost impossible to strike. With his magical sword, his laser-guided Grapple Gun and his steely will to conquer evil Sgt. Alexander has become one of Jandar's best soldiers. (Hasbro) CARD TEXT: Quote:

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
By far the best Drake. Grapple will give Raelin 1.0 turtle teams a headache if Drake manages to jet to height, snag Raelin, and chop her to bits. At 135, he's #2 on my list of Heroes with the most potential in AoA, next to Ewashia. 135 seems very balanced, I feel people are underestimating his mobility here. Solid Hero, very strong but not over powered and busted. Owlman's rankings: A-

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
I wonder why that same-level space requirement is there. Why not just adjacent?

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
Generally that sort of limitation exists to prevent players from dropping grabbed figures into lava without risking hot lava death for their own figures.

A new Raelin and SGT. Drake every (Heroscape not counting DnD or Marvel) master set. The new grapple replacing the ranged attack is interesting. He's overall going to be fun flying him in and grappling their character unexpectedly. RoTV Raelin is no longer as safe in backfields.
Heroscape's back on the menu boys. |

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
I wonder why Drake has grown to Medium 6. Isn't the original Drake supposed to be a "true" Medium 5 - scaled for a 6 foot man? Is the new mini that much larger, jet pack not considered?

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
I think that it is primarily for mini purposes. There's no way Jet Pack Drake could fit under an overhang of 5.

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
Right, but take out the jet pack and is the mini a full level higher than the original?

Oh, right, Wings never count for Kyrie height, and Shiori's afterimages don't seem to add height either.
