The Book of Black Lantern (Crispus Allen)

[Arch-vile]

Sounds like good tweaks. I’d recommend future testers use Black Lantern armies too, since that seems like his strongest build.

Yep, and that makes me really happy. I was worried he was going to end up needing Jason in his strongest builds or something, so glad he ended up this way.

Definitely seems like Scar unlocks him to the fullest (like Kilowog with GLs).

Anything special you want to see? More Scar testing?

Yeah, I think Scar would be key going forward. I'd like to see her in both tests if you're game.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): BL Spectre (3/12 wounds, 3 Battery Markers), Black Hand (4/5 wounds, 1 Battery Marker), Beast (3/5 wounds), Iceman (2/4 wounds)

Post-game thoughts: Spectre had a pretty immense gameplay impact here that I don’t feel fully shines through in a standard write-up. His Gaze ability was incredibly effective - just cause of how the game turned out, he always had at least 1 marker to threaten the enemy with. This severely hurt the more melee-ranged units (Beast, Psylocke) and in the late game, he had a lot of control over where the remaining enemies (Jean, Psylocke) went and what they did, basically forcing Jean into desperation kiting.

This was definitely a good match-up for the BLs, and winning initiative every time while Scar was on the battlefield (but then losing it every time after she died!) helped them get in a lot of free wounds that softened up the enemy a fair bit. Still, I think he’s incredibly good, especially against any unit that wants to get up close and personal.

1 game in, and I feel like he's coming in pretty hot. Do you want me to make any changes before running a second test?

[IAmBatman]

Since it doesn't seem like the Scar powering up thing even happened here, I'm a tad worried, but it might just be the particular match up, since he didn't come in this strong in my tests without Scar, and Scar didn't power him up any here.

Still, Nobody and I are planning to rerun this one on TTS on Friday night and then I'll decide my feelings a bit better after that. Should give me a good idea if it's more of a fluke/bad match up, or if he's just in need of a points boost/depowering (I'd lean towards points boost, as 475 is on the low-end of where he could be thematically, I think).

[IAmBatman]

Oh, man, X-Men hate themselves some Black Lanterns (though my dice may hate me more). I thought I had a shot there for a bit, but the Scar/Spectre combo is just too much. I'm going to make some suggestions in the Scar thread, since Spectre really doesn't feel overpowered without him, IMO, but I also want to take the range of Gaze of Death down to 2 here and max it at 2 makers since it's so easy for Scar to recharge him, and I want to up his points to 575 and go from there.

This one might require some additional testing as I'm trying to avoid ending up with an overpowered Black Lantern grouping and him, Scar, and Black Hand for 1300 was really nasty.

[IAmBatman]

Talked it over with some folks and looked at the Index and realized that regular Spectre is Range 1, Attack 5. So I've decided to drop to Range 2, Attack 5 here as well and try him at 525 instead of 575.

[MrNobody]

Here's some quick notes I took while playing in case anybody wants to look through the results. (Probably missing a few things here and there, I was really more focused on playing than note taking.)

Spectre did a metric crapton of damage for his 6+1 attack (He went One Punch Man on Iceman), and that was a big deciding factor. But I also really struggle to see the X-Men being able to bypass the BL's survivability, even on a good day.

Team 2 (1,300): Iron Man MkV (280), Iron Man MkIII (220), Hulkbuster Iron Man (360), Thorbuster Iron Man (440)

Pre-game thoughts: Going up against some heavy hitters that may have a better chance of taking down the BLs. Figuring MkV will go down fairly fast to Spectre, but hopefully he can get a round or two of being useful in.

Summary of the game:

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: T1 wins initiative
-Scar uses her Book to inflict a wound on MkIII
-Thorbuster inflicts 2 wounds on Hand

-Spectre uses Gaze of Death on Thorbuster
-Spectre Haunts MkIII and Hulkbuster

Round 4: T1 wins initiative

-Hand inflicts a wound on Thorbuster
-Thorbuster forces Hand to burn a marker
-T2 had OM3 on Hulkbuster, so they lose a turn
-Spectre inflicts 2 wounds on MkIII
-Spectre haunts Thorbuster

Round 5: T2 wins initiative

-T1 had OM1 on Hand, so they lose a turn
-Thorbuster inflicts 3 wounds on Spectre
-Spectre takes an LEA from MkIII

-Thorbuster takes a LEA wound fleeing from Spectre

Round 6: T2 wins initiative

Gaze of Death: 1 uses (on Thorbuster), 5 LEAs made against fleeing figures
Haunting: R1 used to place next to MkV, R2 used to place next to Thorbuster, R3 used place next to MkIII and Hulkbuster, R4 used to place next to Thorbuster
Ring Charge: 1 successes/3 attempts (but it didn’t matter, it was the end of the game)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): BL Spectre (4/12 wounds)

Post-game thoughts: Definitely feeling better, but still a tough nut to crack. MkV dying so soon was a bit of a bummer - I was hoping he could stall Spectre through at least the end of Round 2.

___________________________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: This trio is pretty tough, but it definitely feels like Spectre is on the right track. Gaze of Death is a terrifying ability, but the bump down to 5 attack and the decrease in range (both on his attack and GoD) make him feel a lot more reasonable.

It might be better in the long run to just tank the GoD as early as possible and stop letting Spectre control your figure placement, but that always leaves the potential for him to recharge.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I do dig this design. He’s scary, just like BL Spectre should be, but I think we’re getting him to where he feels more manageable.

Here you go!

[IAmBatman]

Sweet! Thanks! Seems like we're moving in the right direction at least. Glad we didn't over-nerf, though I'm a tad concerned to still see a big win after the changes! I guess we'll see what happens in fret's and go from there.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, well two more wins, but closer, at least (2 Life Scar and 3 Life Scar). His analysis is that Black Hand is worth more than BL Spectre, which is also promising.

Any thoughts on how to best go from here? More tests? I'd love if we could keep him at 525, but not married to that if we need to boost him some.

GAZE OF DEATH 2
Start the game with 2 black Battery Markers on this card. Black Lantern may never have more than 2 black Battery Markers on this card. If an opponent's figure without the Fearless personality ends its movement within 2 clear sight spaces of Black Lantern, you may remove a black Battery Marker from this card. If you do, inflict a wound on that figure and that opponent's turn immediately ends.

HAUNTING
Black Lantern may move through all figures and never takes leaving engagement attacks. At the end of each round, you may place Black Lantern on any empty space on the battlefield where he is adjacent to an opponent’s figure.

RING CHARGE OF DEATH 16
If an enemy figure that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead would be destroyed by Black Lantern's attack or special power, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, place a black Battery Marker on each Black Lantern card you control, if possible.

___________________________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: If I had to choose between Crispus Allen or William Hand for a build in my army, it would always be William Hand. They have similar scores, including Life if you use battery markers for extra Life on William Hand. The big difference is Ring Charge vs Blackest Night. Ring Charge has a much greater chance of failure AND it cannot take control of figures. On top of this, William Hand is 50 points less. In the end, his team won both games, but I still think he is overcost when comparing to William Hand.


GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I like the difference in using the battery markers for this Black Lantern.
