Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Green Goblin @235, Sinister Six minus Electro (1100) vs Ms. Marvel, Gamora, Gundam, Amuro (1100)

Spoiler Alert!

Green Goblin had a star turn where he got a couple wounds in on Ms. Marvel and almost finished her off, but didn't quite do the job. His defensive ability changes didn't end up being a huge deal because he went down without ever facing a direct attack.

Turned into a very close game with both leaders getting dropped early. The Sin Six remainders had a tough time consistently cracking Gamora & the Gundam's defenses, leading to an eventual Gamora victory.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
Gamora: 2/6 Life

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Green Goblin @235, Sinister Six minus Electro (1100) vs Captain America (Avengers), Spider-Man (Avengers), Winter Soldier, Future Trunks (1000) (oops)

Spoiler Alert!

Goofed up and ran 1100 vs 1000 here. Whoops. Avengers team still pulled out a win in the first game, off the back of Future Trunks assassinating Otto early. Second one tilted more in the Sin Six's favor though.

Norman enjoys Otto's stat boosts now that he's playable in a Sin Six build. Their movement shenanigans can make it a little easier to set up bombs too.

Generally there are no big changes to his offensive output though. His improved defensive ability did get him passed over for attacks a couple times but only directly came up one time (and saved him just 1 wound).

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
Captain America: 5/5 Life, Spider-Man: 5/5 Life
Doctor Octopus: 2/4 Life, Green Goblin: 4/5 Life, Vulture: 2/4 Life, Sandman: 5/5 Life, Mysterio: 4/4 Life

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Tough to draw any hard conclusions - I'm a little frazzled and I did goof up the points there. But generally he feels like he's got just a hair more juice than in 1.0. Not a lot of Antagonist/Insane stuff to test him with yet so just stuck with the Sin Six here.

Looks good!

Great, love this guy

[Ronin]

Not sure if folks want full testing here or are comfortable with sanity testing - feel free to chime in. He's got a boost on defense in melee and has his flying weakness removed but by and large nothing too crazy.

[Yodaking]

He seems pretty close to what he was in 1.0, so the points shouldn't be too different. If after playing him you feel he's a little better than he was in 1.0, then give him a small point bump and move on. Unless you are trying to hit a specific point total for army building reasons. Then we might need to tweak the design somewhere.

[IAmBatman]

Changes seem like they're in sanity testing range to me.

Agreed, good with just Sanity Testing.

I'm comfortable with his small performance bump and the 5 point raise - let's send him to editing.

[Karat]

Yea
