Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (Design Phase)
When it comes to sending them to Public Playtesting one at a time, please prioritize Draugr due to planned release date.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

The Armor still references Righteous Defense.

Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (Design Phase)
The sheer offensive output of this figure is kind of crazy. Combine him with some cheap figures like Atom and Ragdoll and Chucky to tie figures down and add autowounds with Righteous Rage and it looks really strong.
I don't know the character, but my instinct would be less defense, more life (otherwise it's all about autowounds to kill this guy), and make the markers somewhat more likely to get removed. |

Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (Design Phase)
I'll definitely up the roll to 4 or less to begin with. That's the dial I'm most happy to turn. I like risky figures, so it's no skin off my back if he ends up risky.
Life/Defense balance is definitely something I'll have in mind going into testing. And if Righteous Rage proves too potent I'm happy to tone that down, too... I figured we'd swing for the fences for the first shot at least. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (VOTE for Initial)
Technically just an hour or so left here, but I don't think I'll have time to get this one done before I go... so anyone else with an opinion, feel free to jump in.

Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (VOTE for Initial)
Right, so I'm back from vacation and we got four votes so I'm going to call this one!
Now that Eternal Warrior is wrapping I'm hoping to play one game with him and Ninjak to see how they feel as a trio. Then one game abusing cheap tiedown figures, and probably a third just slotting him into a Justice League build or something, to get the full "breadth" of the character.

Re: The Book of X-O Manowar (Initial Playtesting)
C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: X-O Manowar Army Test Map: Ravaged River (Custom Map) Units: X-O Manowar@390, Atom, Ragdoll, Stature (700 Points) vs. Nightwing, Starfire, Speedy (Roy Harper), Miss Martian (700 Points) TAKE ONE: Aric immediately wipes out Speedy and Starfire, taking no wounds. Doesn’t feel right - you just park him on height and blast away. Adjustments made (Manowar Markers ticked down to 3, A/D ticked down to 4/4, Sheer Force only against adjacent attacks. TAKE TWO: Aric deals four wounds to Starfire, but then gets pulled off of height by Miss Martian and swarmed by the Titans to death in the first round - bad showing, not smart playing.
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test Map: Ravaged River (Custom Map) Units: X-O Manowar@390, Ninjak, Eternal Warrior (850 Points) vs. Ms. Marvel, War Machine, Puck (850 Points)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test Map: Ravaged River (Custom Map) Units: X-O Manowar@390, Batman (III), Zatanna (II), John Constantine (985 Points) vs. Amanda Waller, Rick Flag Jr., Harley Quinn (II), Deadshot, King Shark, Parademon (990 Points)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: So, I do think he felt better after those initial adjustments - 8M/4R/7A/7D just feels more Aric-y than 9M/5R/7A/8D. But I’m going to tick his Move and Life up by 1 to compensate, and give him a little less of a glass jaw. I could even see his Attack going up to a base 5. Points-wise, I don’t think he was worth 390. Maybe people who are better at the game can abuse Righteous Defense, but I didn’t get it to trigger once in five games - Sheer Force now only triggering when he gets into melee range might be a factor there, but it just didn’t feel right for him to be blasting away from height with a screen in front of him. He feels more like… 350-370, with the other flying bricks in that category. But it’s tough to say. I definitely don’t think I managed to play him to his full potential. GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: In general, he didn’t really perform to my expectations… just in the fun category. Righteous Defense didn’t trigger once. He didn’t burn any markers. Sheer Force did trigger, but it didn’t ever get to the “exploding in his face” level, which was a bummer. I have some adjustments in mind to make him feel better… see the next post!
