RADAR DEFENSE 16
If Daredevil is attacked by an opponent's figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. Add 2 to your roll for each space the attacking figure moved this turn. If you roll 16 or higher, Daredevil takes no damage.

STEALTH LEAP 12
Instead of his normal move, Daredevil may move up to 3 spaces with Stealth Leap. When moving with Stealth Leap, Daredevil has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 12 levels in a single leap, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks when he starts to leap.

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Daredevil @160, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, Ragdoll (600) vs Green Arrow, Red Arrow, Black Canary, Oracle (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Daredevil went pretty nuts in the first game - lost, but did most of the damage for his team after Luke Cage got Black Canaried early on. Some of it was just plain ol' good luck and couldn't be avoided (he had one turn with two 20s to attack again), but he did feel a little pushed here, so ran the second game with his d20 targets bumped to 17.

Didn't end up making a huge difference in the second game because all his rolls were either outstanding or too low to salvage. The second game looked a little more normal luckwise overall, with Matt pulling off a couple double attacks but never more than that, and Luke getting roughed up by multi-attackers. Though surprisingly Dinah kinda flubbed it and only put a couple wounds on Luke, and Roy had to finish the job.

DD got off a few multi-attacks in the second game but still failed to do damage. Poor showing.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
Red Arrow with 2/4 Life, Oracle with 1/4 Life
Green Arrow with 2/4 Life, Red Arrow with 1/4 Life, Oracle with 4/4 Life

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Daredevil @160, Luke Cage, Captain America (New Avengers), Oracle (680) vs Cyclops (I), Jean Grey, Jubilee, Rover, Angel (Warren) (680)

Spoiler Alert!

The Mutants had an edge going into the endgame, with Scott, Jubilee, and Warren all around to handle Matt and Babs. Unfortunately for them, DD, despite middling offense, hit 6 Radar Defense rolls in a row and managed to eke out the endgame.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
Daredevil with 2/4 Life and Oracle with 4/4 Life

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: He is... a heavily d20-based unit. Had a couple lucky streaks in here so that can make things a little tough to gauge. I nudged his d20s up to 17s in between games 1 and 2... I found him still hitting his targets a decent chunk of the time with his bonuses.

I'm guessing he might end up needing soft nerfs here or there. I could see losing the range... he doesn't super need it anyway, it mostly only comes up against Angel types. I dig the core of him though, there's a fun tension in how to make engagement decisions.

[Ronin]

Let's send him to public testing.

One I want to get some more hands on before making any other tweaks. I'm rusty!

Nice! Glad to see this moving again.

Yea

Would be neat to get an OMX tie-in for Matt + Foggy, but I don’t see an easy place to stick it. Not something worth over-complicating for at all.

[Ronin]

Yeah, if there was a clean spot for it I'd be game. Wouldn't go for it in the current write-up.
