The Book of Supergirl (II)

[LordVenoc]

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Supergirl (Superman Family)
Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Superman (Family), Supergirl, Superboy (Kon) (1000) vs OG XMen (1000)
Unit Summary
Damage: 4 damage dealt
Abilities: Resolve Saved Superman, allowing him to get 2 on Xavier.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Early big hit on Jean happens here, but Superboy gets ganged up on.
R2: Jean is taken out by Kara.
R3: Beast removes Kara’s marker, then Iceman in trying to take out Kal’s, triggers Krypton’s Resolve. The opening here allows Kal to leave engagements to hunt for Xavier, but he just barely misses the kill (1 life remaining)
R4 and R5: Kryptonians finally win initiative, putting 3 on Iceman, then 1 on Beast. Kara can’t withstand the Special Attack Beatdown.
General thoughts: Felt like a solid game here, but couldn’t get things rolling well for the Kryptonians. Resolve is a super interesting power here, as it basically gives the figure immunity to Leaving Engagement as well. The timing on it may be a bit tough to mete out at times, but the interaction is definitely cool. Thinking its fine to add Kryptonians to the list it can affect, but I doubt you will generally be using it to save someone like Krypto when you have your big guns like Kal around.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? X-Men win. Angel and Cyclops unwounded. Xavier and Iceman with 3 wounds, Beast with 2 wounds.

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Superman (Family), Supergirl, Superboy (Kon) (1000) vs Fantastic 4 (1000)
Unit Summary
Damage: 4 damage dealt + 6 overkill. 6 total damage allowed from Resolve.
Abilities: Used Resolve on Round 2 on Superman, giving him 3 total attacks that round.

Spoiler Alert!

General Flow:
R1: Kryptonians charge forward, with Supes dealing 4 wounds to Sue, but taking 4 wounds himself because of this. Kon takes 1 wound, but Kara kills Sue (3 Overkill wounds). Supes and Kon are both knocked down to 1 wound.
R2: Supes is killed turn 1, but Supergirl keeps the Resolve going. Superman puts 3 on Reed, and Supergirl kills Torch (3 wounds + 1 Overkill). Supergirl takes 1 recoil from Thing, and Superman kills Reed. Supergirl botches a defensive roll, dying to Thing.
R3: Superboy goes down to Thing.
General thoughts: I thoroughly enjoy how aggressive she allows the Kryptonians to play. She’s a tad hard to time at times, and could probably be avoided. Dice were swingy here in this game, including multiple defensive whiffs on both sides. Still enjoyed how it played though.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Fan 4 wins. Thing with 3 wounds remaining.

_____________________________________________________________

2 losses here limiting it to her. I still 100% dig the change. Main thought would be to just lower the Freeze Breath roll alongside the change, as that's a bit cleaner than any other changes I thought to help it out a bit. It helps the faction play more aggressive and feels quite fun in practice. Lowering Freeze Breath down a hair more (maybe 9 or 8?) can help encourage her to stay more in play, even beyond just the aura restriction on resolve. Personally I think Resolve could be either Clear Sight or 6 spaces, but it being so contingent on like round timing or OM positioning, I don't think it needs the extra restriction.

[LordVenoc]

Here's what I'm thinking then, unless people feel its a little too much. Change to Freeze Breath wouldn't have changes any rolls in the games, and could see just going 10 there as well if it feels like too big a drop there.

KRYPTON'S RESOLVE
Once per game, when a Kryptonian, Champion, or Legionnaire you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Supergirl would be destroyed, you may use Krypton's Resolve. That figure cannot be destroyed in any way this round. At the end of the round, destroy that figure.

FREEZE BREATH 911
Before taking a turn with Supergirl, you may choose up to two figures adjacent to Supergirl. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 911 or higher, the chosen figures subtract 1 from their defense and may not move this player turn.

KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE
When rolling defense against a normal attack from a figure who is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

Looks good to me.

I'm still consistently not sure how often these kinda things need a full Hero vote, so I'll just tag the Heroes here on the update above, see if everyone is cool with it. She'll get tested at least by me on the Steel redo, and I'll use her in the last few units to close out the Wave.

I dig that version of Krypton's Resolve. It seems like the type of thing Family Supes really wants to have around with him.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

yea

Assuming tickle's looks good to me is approval, This passes and is ready for the art update from tickle.

Would help if the SP was up to date when you say it needs an update, but cards are updated here.
