The Book of D.Va (Mech)

[Splash]

Signing up, lemme know if there's any suggestions!
I'll probably get the games in this weekend.

[Skinderella]

Nothing too specific at this point, just as long as she's up against some range. She sits happily in a lot of teams as ranged denial if the X is free, but really starts to shine when she can get a turn here and there. More "generalist" leaders like Red Skull, White Canary, Star-Lord, Cap all appreciate her, but if there's an army you want to try her in then by all means!

Looking forward to seeing the tests!

Thoughts on the tested unit’s cost, balance, & draftability:
D.Va fits into a variety of teams even just as a ranged denier. Melee armies can take her on easily whilst ranged armies can with the right support. Her Micro Missiles can be swingy, but they’re such a high roll that you won’t be hitting those consistently. Any army that can pluck units they want will love her! D.Va + Wasp + Hawkeye + She-Hulk is a nasty combo.

General thoughts on the tested unit:
She seems solid, and I think she’s in a good spot. Part of me wishes she had more health being a tank and all, but she’s pretty tough to kill with Defense Matrix, and with the pilot upcoming it’s probably for the best. I wouldn’t mind seeing her Fusion Cannons moved back up to 3 or less move, but I’ll wait to see Splash’s playtests. She’s looking good even with just 2 or less move regardless.

Map: ICY ROAD
Units: D.Va, T-800 Guardian, Punisher (I), Captain America (I), Angel (1,000) vs Illuminati (1,000)
[/B][/COLOR]

Spoiler Alert!

Preamble: Overwatch doesn’t have a campaign mode.

Round 1: Avengers Markers for everyone! Terminator chooses Cap. Beast gets the bonus. Armies on the move. Last OM D.Va flies to the road, and lands 1 wound on Ice Glacier with MMs. Then 1 wound from normal.

Round 2: Beast bonus. Panther deals 2 wounds to Punisher who is moved by Angel, then Strange finishes Punisher rolling all skulls. T-800 and Cap move. Cap blocks BP then Beast moves up and misses Cap, who is moved by Angel. DVa moves up and wounds Beast for 1 with MM after engaging (Daggers missed), then is blocked. Strange moves closer and breaks some trees, Beast misses.

Round 3: Beast bonus. Strange removes 1 wound from Beast and moves him. Beast deals 2 to T-800 and BP deals 3 to Cap. Cap misses all three with Shield and Beast moves. BP misses DVa and Beast misses Cap. DVa misses all four MMs against Panther and then misses both boosted attacks against him (and also bursted away). Strange moves Cap with DS and Beast gets 1 wound lea on him, then Strange misses Cap. Beast misses and Angel moves Cap. DVa misses all the MMs again and manages to get 1 wound on Panther from two attacks.

Round 4: Beast bonus. I actually got initiative (10 was rerolled to 10). Cap puts 1 wound on Strange and Beast. Beast misses Cap. DVa misses EVERYTHING against BP. BP puts 2 wound on T-800. DVa gets 1 wound from MM on BP and then rolls four skulls (Panther is saved by a blank). Second attack misses. Strange shifts T-800 and Cap, DVa reveals the X during Strange’s attack on Cap and throws up the Defense Matrix.

Round 5: Beast bonus, I get initiative again. Strange rerolls to a three and puts 1 wound on Strange. Cap goes and misses twice, Beast moves. Beast’s Med Analysis removes 1 wound from BP. Panther misses Cap. MMs hit 1 on Panther and two misses. Strange attacks, X activates Defense Matrix and DVa moves up. DVa engages BP and gets 1 wound from Dagger. MMs all miss and Burst shoves DVa out of range after the first attack. Strange shifts Cap who dies from a lea.

Round 6: Beast bonus. BP attacks T-800 DVa moves up with Defense Matrix, Beast deals 1 to DVa. DVa takes 1 lea from Beast and misses all the MMs and one attack. Beast moves and BP heals 1 from him and misses. DVa moves and misses two leas from Beast, MMs finally take out Panther! Beast finishes DVa.

Round 7: With a reroll of initiative, Strange heals Beast. T-800 blocks Strange. T-800 wounds 1 on Strange. T-800 takes 1 wound from the two leas that Beast rolled. T-800 deals 1 wound to Strange. Beast KOs T-800. Angel flies away.

Round 8: Strange heals 1 with Beast and hits Angel for 3. Angel misses and then blocks Beast. Miss, IM moves. IM attacks Beast and blocks and misses the unblockable against Angel.

Round 9: Strange misses. Angel misses. Strange misses. Angel misses. Strange shifts Angel and he dies from LEA.

Punisher got taken out right away and then it was pretty back and forth for awhile (slowly chipping away), while Iron Man sat in the opponent’s back corner. Illuminati had better healing and bonding.

Unit Summary: D.Va was definitely the best figure along with Cap in second. Her high defense kept her undamaged for a good amount of time. Her Micro Missiles rolls were almost always duds. Her offensive output was the highest, but in terms of averages it was only because she attacked so many times. Defense Matrix was good and stopped bonding attacks, but the opponent avoided activating it by engaging most of the early game.

Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted 1 wounds on Ice Glacier, 2 wounds on Black Panther
FUSION CANNONS: X5.
MICRO MISSILES 16: 1 wound on Ice Glacier, 1 wound on Beast, 4 wounds on Panther
DEFENSE MATRIX: Thrice, blocked two attacks on Cap and one on T-800.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Strange (3 wounds), Iron Man and Beast safe.

Army Test 2
Map: RAVAGED ROAD
Units: D.Va, Captain Britain, Witchblade, Six-Gun Gorilla (1,100) vs White Lantern Kyle, Star Sapphire Diana, Guy Gardner (1,100)

Spoiler Alert!

Preamble: Overwatch doesn’t have a campaign.

Round 1: Some movement. DVa destroys a tree with MMs and another with normal attack. CB takes heavy fire through the round adding up to 5 wounds. He gets in a six skull attack, but it is easily blocked by GL shield.

Round 2: DVa misses all MMs on WL and is shielded. Two misses on CB. CB is blocked, then DVa on height misses all MMs, deals 1 wound to WL, and is blocked the second time. DVa blocks Diana and CB blocks WL. DVa misses all MMs and misses two normals. Diana deals 2 wounds to DVa and CB blocks Kyle.

Round 3: Diana takes out DVa and CB blocks. CB rolls six skulls and GL shields again. The rest of my OMs were on DVa. Diana removes CB. Diana deals 1 wound to Witchblade and WL destroys a ruin.

Round 4: Witchblade walks up to Diana, is blocked and heals. Witchblade takes 1 wound and then deals 2 and heals. WL deals 1 to Witchblade and is lassoed by Diana. WB misses Diana and heals. Withblade takes 2 wounds.

Round 5: Witchblade attacks, and last shield is used, heal 1. Diana deals 2 wounds and WL takes out Witchblade. OMs gone. Diana one shots Six-Gun.

Heavy loss. First outing with Captain Britain, I definitely could have played better.

Unit Summary: D.Va’s Large status granted some immunity against Diana. Her offensive results were very low.

Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted 1 wound on regular tree, 1 wound on White Lantern.
FUSION CANNONS: X2.
MICRO MISSILES 16: 1 wound on regular tree.
DEFENSE MATRIX: There wasn’t an opportunity before she went down.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): White Lantern (1 wound, 3 markers), Guy (no markers), Diana (all markers).

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Large has some minor benefits, Protector has some synergy and is an accurate class. Life should be 4 so I’m glad it’s there now, stats are good. 6 defense feels like a lot at first, but 4 life figures can get one shot by toughies, so a good armored 6 is fair. Fusion Cannons work great, I used them as much as I could (fun thematic slowing down to do more blastin’ power).
Micro Missiles I used every single turn. I’m gonna advocate for a change to 15 or higher. 25% chance sounds fine until practice where an entire series of turns can see no results. I get that they are supposed to be little doodads firing off before the big booms and they’re bouncing off like aluminum cans and such, but at least one of them should land in a round. I also happened to roll tons of 15s both games, which singed. Her autowounding and bypassing defenses is good, yes. I was hoping it would help against Panther and MD figures like Strange, but if they never land, your reliable counter isn’t worth it.
Defense Matrix is cool, and very useful against bonding turns, but avoidable by engaging. A good army for her would be something like Illuminati actually where the opponent is punished for engaging. Another good one to see her in would be d20 boosters like Fate, but that shouldn’t be a must for her to see MM damage done.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: D.Va has good staying power and great offensive output, but there is a cap on how heavy she can hit. Part of her value will be whatever Overwatch brings, but right now she’s just a generalist. I would lower points to 230, since I’m guessing that the Overwatch synergy is going to be loose, with more generalists (I don’t see any super strong leader-pieces). Or if you want, 225 or 235, odd costs might hurt generalist builds slightly, but would be a good tie to ensure OW characters are run together more often, plus for D.Va there are some awkwardly costed Protectors that coils use more friends. Maybe 235 if you move the Missiles to 15 or lower, which I highly recommend.

[toyhandle]

Playtest w/ Splash thoughts:
Game 1:
D.VA was the biggest potential threat against my team, as she could theoretically kill Black Panther and Iron Man with the Micro Missiles alone, and Doctor Strange with the Micro Missiles + Double attack.
All the powers got plenty of use, but the problem was that despite the damage potential, she was offensively ineffective. There were so few hits with the Micro Missiles, that it seemed less like bad luck, and more that the roll number was too high.
The Defense Matrix did dictate how I attacked with my army, as I almost always attacked with melee attacks because of it, and when I did make ranged attacks with Doctor Strange, it messed up my plans enough that I regretted attacking.

Game 2:
D.VA also seems like a potential huge threat to Lanterns, with life of 4 being common amongst them, and the missiles bypassing their defenses. However, the rolls failed here as well. Being Large did exclude D.VA from being the victim of Diana's Passionate Fury, which meant I was best off engaging D.Va with Diana to prevent her from attacking White Lantern.
The one wound on White Lantern was thanks to DV.A's normal attack, which Guy didn't block.
I do think the Lantern's Landslide might have a lot to do with how Captain Britain was played. He seems like the type of leader who needs to make his moves once the rest of his team is already in the fray, but he entered first, and got 5 of 6 wounds very fast.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
I would bump the D20 to 15, and lower the cost to 220 or less. Game 1 makes me think she would be very good in an Avengers build with Black Panther (Visionary), as Black Panther makes the opponent not want to engage, and D.VA makes you only want to engage.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT:
Tons of tools in her toolbelt, good damage potential, but more of a relentless light hitter and solid defensive unit. Was a lot of fun, and plays in a very active style.

[Skinderella]

Thanks for the tests and great feedback!

She's definitely looking to be in the right ball park. I'm down for lowering Micro Missiles to 15 and/or lowering her points a little. Micro Missiles have under performed quite a bit.

Points wise 220-235 could work. I don't think she needs to be brought down much though. Otherwise I think she's set.

[MrNobody]

Great job to our playtesters and great job to Skinderella!

I think having her end in an even/odd number just depends on where we want the faction to go. I think that's up to our primary faction architect personally! (I do think a drop to 220 is maybe a bit low though.)

[tcglkn]

D.Va could go odd if you make the pilot odd, encouraging them to be played together more. Regardless of if the faction goes odd/even.

[Skinderella]

Thanks MrNobody!

225 or 235 I'm happy with to tie her with the pilot. I'll bring the pilot up on the public design thread later this evening.

The Overwatch faction as a whole I'm not too worried about specific points overall, but I think characters that work together could be worked into the evens/odds.

D.Va and Lúcio aren't tied to the Overwatch team currently (though Lúcio is part of it in Overwatch 2, and D.Va is getting a comic next month where she'll likely be recruited by Cassidy for a new team). I think ones we would want to tie the points together would be ones like Winston + Tracer, who were both Overwatch and are seen together a lot, or Reaper + Widowmaker. I think D.Va and Lúcio can be designed either way, as with some others like Symmetra, Hanzo etc.

[FreshFoods]

Been fun following this one.

Having this one and the pilot both end in 5 makes sense. 235 and leaving her as is would be my choice

[MrNobody]

Fwiw, I really like the idea of Winston+Tracer and Reaper+Widowmaker being matching leader pairs.

[Skinderella]

Agreed. Winston + Tracer is the ideal leader combo for the actual faction, or maybe just Winston with Tracer synergising well. He was the one to initiate the Overwatch recall (also why I mentioned an Overwatch Recall story card in the past), she was the first to answer.

I think Widowmaker and Reaper could have synergy with each other, but I think Doomfist should be the leader for that faction.

Widowmaker would be a particularly easy mod to do, likely the easiest of any OW character. Would be nice to have more characters outside the Monopoly 6.
