Book of Asgard Mithrilaxe

[NecroBlade]

This thread is for the discussion and trial of Fallen Templar's custom Asgard Mithrilaxe. Please refer to the Discussion Guidelines.



Playtesting should only include official figures.

Playtesting suggestions:
1) VS Romans. Bloodrush to break up the Shield Wall.
2) Strong melee heroes in the same point range, like Drake, Alastair, and Crixus. See if his life makes him worth the points.

Judges will be NecroBlade, hi1hi1hi1hi1, and ZBeeblebrox.

Let the discussion begin!

Did you read the discussion guidelines? Please don't just post "very cool." A little more detail about what you like about the card and maybe some constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Over all I like the guy, but think he has too much life, maybe six would make him worth his points.

Hmm, it does seem a bit hearty, even for a dwarf. But with only 2 Defense, I think it evens out. With playtesting, I may put in my vote for dropping it to 7.

[nonexistantnonexister]

6.5 lol.

[NecroBlade]

I want to like this guy, I really do, but for some reason, the wording on Bloodrush always throw him off for me. I like his other stats and abilities. Let me see if I can throw down some revised wording.

Bloodrush 15
If Asgard Mithrilaxe moves at least 5 spaces and ends his move adjacent to at least one figure, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 15 or higher, you may move any or all adjacent small or medium figures 1 space each. Figures may only be moved onto same level or lower spaces from their original space and do not take leaving engagement attacks from Asgard for this move. You may only roll for Bloodrush if Asgard was unengaged before moving.

Does that sound better to anyone?

It mostly does. The original wording included the part about the Bloodrush taking effect before Berserker Charge. Without that part included, there could be some confusion about possibly being able to move 3 spaces, then rolling successfully for Berserker Charge, moving another 2 or 3 spaces and then activating the Bloodrush. This could happen when trying to move up a hill where you can't spend your full movement.

That's a good point, but I think it adds unnecessary clutter. Why not just let the player choose what order they happen in? Sure it gives him a little more power, but it's a very little bit. And his life could be dropped to 7 to compensate.

So my suggestions thus far are to reword Bloodrush and lower the life to 7.

[Fallen Templar]

Alright, Asgard has seen a lot of playtesting here are some results for this dwarf

1. Consistently kills at least 100-110 points a game, I'd say most kills are squad figures, this average doesn't take into account falling death,

------------Sub-point 1: The usual body count is 1-2 heavy squads(Above 40 points) or One Strong Hero(Usually Strong Ranged, i.e. Syvarris or High Luck-Priority, i.e Morsbane, KMS, )

2. His life: It's a necessary just because you see 8 life doesn't mean he can go 1 on 1 Krug( I've Tried multiple times, he's never won ....)

3. The Old Wording I think is fine but the wording change is alright but I think the Berserker Charge Clause is needed.

He is a nice fig/card nut with 2 defense he can be a push over. I think that dropping his life to 6 or 7 and upping his defense to three might be a better way.

I think the wording chage on Bloodrush 15 is needed too, as well as the clasue about not being used after Berserker Charge. How about this:

The affected figures must be moved to a space of the same height or lower and will not take leaving engagement attacks from Asgard. The affected figures will take leaving engagement attacks from other figures. You may not use Bloodrush 15 after using Beserker Charge.

Now I think if consistanely beats opponents in the 100-110 point range then his cost should be bumped up to 110, or at least 105.

Also do you want Bloodrush to be used on friendly figures, because that is currently how it is worded. Personally I don't think he should be able to use an ability called Bloodrush on his own figures without hurting them.
