ATOMIC BREATH SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 4.
Before taking a turn with Godzilla, place a blue Atomic Charge marker on this card up to a maximum of 8. Remove 4 Atomic Charge markers from this card to use this special attack. Choose 8 spaces in a straight line from Godzilla. All figures on the chosen spaces and in clear sight of Godzilla are affected by this special attack. Roll 4 attack dice once for all affected figures. Each skull rolled counts as one additional hit.

WAKE OF DESTRUCTION
While moving, Godzilla may destroy any destructible object or obstacle that is adjacent and unoccupied; may move through and never takes leaving engagement attacks from figures that are not huge; and does not stop his movement when entering water spaces. After moving, roll 1 unblockable attack die against each figure Godzilla moved through.

KING OF THE MONSTERS
You may add 4 attack dice to Godzilla's normal attack if at least one of the following is true:
• Godzilla did not move this turn; or
• Godzilla attacks a huge figure or a destructible object.

I thought there was a charging up type power just last night.

8 space area attack with 4 attack deadly shot...dang. Don't mess with him.

Dinosaur, not Kaiju?

That’s what I said. But we voted and it seemed to lean towards not using Kaiju. I don’t think Godzilla is Dinosaur but

Never voted. I'd have voted Kaiju. Also hope to see the charged version of the SA. Guessing you may just not have used the updated version.

Also what figure are we using here? The info doesn’t make that clear and I want to get it.

The one from the same line where we got our Kong, I think.

Dinosaur's weird, but I don't know his origin. I thought he got mutated in the 1940s from nuclear radiation.

I like the idea of a charged beam. The current draft will be using the Atomic Breath almost 100% of the time against non-Huge figures. It'd be cool if that was more of a rare thing but more impactful when you use it.

King of the Monsters is a pretty insane power, and I wonder how that's going to affect his cost. Most of the C3G library isn't Huge, so it's not going to come up. But once we start designing some Godzilla enemies, it's going to be active. So if he's balanced against superheroes he's probably going to crush most of his thematic enemies unless they have a similar power. Toning it down some (like 6 base attack, +4 from that power) would help even the scales.

Just saying Godzilla 3 times in the mini info doesn’t help me find it though.
