ALL-BLACK DARKNESS
Start the game with 8 shadow tiles. Before Gorr's move action, you may place 1 of these shadow tiles onto a land space within 8 spaces. Figures on these tiles are not in clear sight of non-adjacent figures other than Gorr.

BLACK BERSERKERS SPECIAL ATTACK
Attack 4.
Once per round, Gorr may attack any figures on or within 2 spaces of shadow tiles placed by him, including non-adjacent figures while Gorr is engaged. This special attack has +1 Attack for each of these tiles the defender occupies or that is within 2 spaces of them.

GOD BUTCHER
Gorr has +1 Attack against figures with the Deity keyword. After Gorr inflicts 1+ wounds on a Hero, roll 1 combat die for each wound inflicted, up to that Hero's Life number. For each blank, Gorr heals 1 wound.

Attack lowered by 1.
SA range(within 8 spaces) dropped.

The range removal probably won't come up, but figured that's a bit moot in most cases. The attack drop by 1 might not be warranted, but I know we've tried nerfing solo 1000 point units overall, so the 2 times per round he's not using his SA, he'll just be a hair less deadly which should be fine.

I remember playing against him in 1.0, was one of my first exposures to an event hero. Looks really solid, the potential to no sell range attacks because he can drop shadow and then stand on them is pretty potent. Means that people have to brawl most of the time and his special is good for dealing with groups.

Question since it shows Symbiote for his species. Does he require sonic or fire weakness? And another line of thinking since he is all darkness and shadows, would the stealth symbol fit here? Just always like to think through symbols and whatnot. Love seeing them on cards.

Excited to see this one...

Not sure about starting a sentence +1 ... maybe "He has +1 Attack"? I think I'd say "shadow space" for that part rather than title.

Later, you can just say "defender" rather than "defending figure."

Looks good.

[Arkham]

I think we want it limited to the tiles he placed for bumping the SA, so I clarified that a bit instead:

Gorr may attack any figures on or within 2 spaces of any shadow tiles placed by Gorr, including non-adjacent figures while Gorr is engaged, and has +1 Attack for each of these tiles on or within 2 spaces of the defender.

This is just in-case we get maps that have a ton of shadow, I wouldn't want that to get out of hand.

[japes]

That seems like a safe change.

[IAmBatman]

Only quibble is that the tile wouldn't be "on" the defender. So we need to adjust that wording a tad (not 100% sure the best way off hand, though).

[Arkham]

Hmmm...

How about:

BLACK BERSERKERS SPECIAL ATTACK
Attack 4. Once per round.
Gorr may attack any figures on or within 2 spaces of shadow tiles placed by him, including non-adjacent figures while Gorr is engaged. Gorr has +1 Attack for each of these tiles the defender is on or that is within 2 spaces of them.

[IAmBatman]

I might say "occupies" rather than "is on," but I think that works.

[Arkham]

Did a quick game here vs. the JLA Trinity. Trinity won with WW at 4/6 wounds(2 life) and Superman at 3/7 wounds(4 life). Gorr failed to heal any wounds, so with that in mind, I definitely felt it was quite even, as on average he probably should have healed ~2. I think he's solidly in the A- tier now.

I propose a vote to move to Final Editing.
