C3G Requests for Reevaluation

[Hahma]

What about if you "must" place those wounds on Aaron Cash instead of "may"? It could tame him down a notch.

The Heroes have voted to re-test Enchantress with the following changes:

NAME = ENCHANTRESS
SECRET IDENTITY = AMORA

SPECIES = ASGARDIAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SORCERESS
PERSONALITY = CHARMING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 380

ENCHANTMENT
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of taking a turn with Enchantress, you may choose a Unique Hero you control within 4 clear sight spaces of Enchantress that does not have the Super Strength special power. Take a turn with the chosen Hero. During this turn, the chosen Hero has Super Strength, and adds 1 automatic skull to any normal attacks it makes on an adjacent figure.

SOUL SWAP
Once per game, if a figure you control without the Mental Shield special power that is within 4 clear sight spaces of Enchantress is attacked by an enemy Unique Hero that is within 4 clear sight spaces of Enchantress and your defending figure receives no wounds, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. Players switch control of the defending and attacking figures, and their Army Cards. Remove all Order Markers from both Army Cards. If Enchantress is destroyed, all figures and cards affected by Soul Swap return to the players who controlled them before the Soul Swap.

MAGICAL DEFENSE
When Enchantress is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense special power, the most wounds Enchantress can take from this attack is one.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

Please post any results in Enchantress' thread.

Also, if the CRB has any combos are abusable strategies with Enchantress that come to mind, please post them here!

I know they mentioned Wolverine as a combo. Probably any multiple attackers are still good. I know they mentioned figures like Ragdoll and Blob for Soul Swapping. Punisher, Merlyn, Bob, and Atom aren't as abusable as they used to be (or they shouldn't be, at least! Feel free to test!).

I like this much better. It was hard to think of teams that could consistently beat an Enchantress pod.

It may be a bit late to make this suggestion, but I was wondering if simply adding a 'reveal an X on this card' requirement on Enchantment may make the difference? It retains the same theme (even allowing ranged figures to still get the boost, which seems thematic) but giving it a once per round restriction to make it less devastating. Plus, it has the added bonus of giving her, a fellow Thor villain, soft synergy with Loki. Hmm... Loki + Enchantress + Malekith + non-superstrength minions, anyone? Sounds like fun to me!
Ooh, that just gave me a thought - Soul Swap should probably be tested alongside Illusionist Deception, that could be deadly! In fact, the X change idea may weaken that combo as well - Loki would be required then for Malekith and Enchantress to be used to full effectiveness together whereas otherwise they may make for an overly deadly combo without him. It would weaken Enchantress and Malekith together while at the same time encouraging taking a team based around the three tricky Thor villains.

There is already and X reveal in Soul Swap. I think her points would be coming down if she could only enchant once per round, that would change the way she is played quite a bit.

With old Enchantress, you wanted any non-SS figures that had double skulls or multiple normal attacks, with a preference for range. Punisher, Merlyn, Shocker, Wizard, Mother Russia, Deadpool, Marrow, The Crow, Batman (II) with Batarangs, Fantomex, etc. Zsasz was also good because both of his powers had synergy. There was also Bob (if you had Deadpool) and Atom because they were great Soul Swap targets that got into range for free.

While those guys still aren't bad, now you might just go with one ranged figure and mostly melee heroes. Wolverine, Speedball, Swordsman, Talia, Puck, etc. And the Atom/Bob type figures aren't as useful unless you have Fantomex or some other way to redirect. Another option would be to throw in some Daring Decoys to try to force a favorable Soul Swap.

That'll teach me to read the card before I post! I really want to try a Loki, Enchantress Malekith build now to exploit Soul Swap.

Go for it! We need some reeval tests. Try to break her!

It's so expensive, it's probably too point inefficient to break her - I just think it's really cool!

Honestly, if anyone's going to break Soul Swap, it'll be Superman III... If that's broken, though, I think it's best served by a change to Superman so that Heroic Rescue requires an X reveal like Malekith does.

[IAmBatman]

Not following how that combination would be problematic.
