The Book of Morsbane
The Book of Morsbane
Zanafor's Discovery - Collection 4 - "Heroes of Trollsford" Character Bio: The ninth generation Banisher in his family, Morsbane wields the Rod of Negation in the service to his queen. Enemies are brought low, the powerful become powerless, the mighty become meek. In some cases, the Rod is powerful enough to negate a being's very existence.

Worth noting that if he kills a figure with a roll of 20, he doesn't lose a negation marker.

Morsbane is worth it for that look alone I agree that in tourny' play he is not going to see any table time but that certainly does not make him any less fun at home. |

For some reason I have almost no luck with this guy. His negation just isn't reliable enough to waste turn markers on him, and he can't do anything else very well. I REALLY wish his attack was ranged so he could do a bit od damage before he tries to negate. I swear, Heroscape must be the only game that expects Wizards to get into melee range to do damage. As is you're much better off spending the points and turn just trying to kill whatever you're trying to negate.

All the same, he's got just as much of a chance (1 in 20) of killing a figure as Runa does. She's just likely to get a lot more chances. Of course, she also has to be in closer range, and take similar shots at any of her own figures that are close by. Then, on top of it, you get a 4 in 20 chance at wiping out the enemy figure's powers if you don't actually kill the enemy figure, which in cases like Krug, or Mimring, or even the KMA, can hurt a great deal. All this for 20 points less than Runa.
That said, I'd probably never really take Morsbane into an army over the Krav, or Runa over the Nakitas if I were really looking to be competitive. |

I finally rolled a 20 with Morsbane!
I was in a random-draft game today with my dad, who had a rather better army than me, and it was getting down to now-or-never strategies so Morsbane took charge and went for Major X17 (who we know gets extra defense from normal adjacent attacks) so i wanted to neutralise his abilities. So i rolled the D20, praying for a 16-19 but got a 20 instead! My dad wasn't happy! |

I happen to love morsbane. he's very good for tying up the big heroes if you have a good ranger to back him up.
alot of people say life is like a card game. well, I have news for them: in the card games, the bad hand does not yell back at you. |

I bet Morsbane will get a little more use if Marvel units come into the fray. However, I doubt he would last long against the Hulk. I suppose a good tactic would be to pair Morsbane with some Gladiatrons, or Major X17. That way they can lock down the Hulk while Morsbane attempts his negation rolls.

Possible to counter to Kato Katsuro?

Re: The Book of Morsbane
If a player were able to negate Kato's special power earlier on in gameplay, that would be pretty friggin' devastating to his opponent.

Re: The Book of Morsbane
I just have to give Morsbane props. After soul shackling two of my wifes units with one squad of shades! She gets 20s with Morsbane on Cyprien and on Isamu. Isamu cant run away from that. Morsbane ended the game with Zero wounds and all three of his Negate markers. We didnt even have the wave eight elf pack yet. I dont want to play the elves anymore.
