The Book of Mechagodzilla (Kiryu)

[MrNobody]

Just an FYI, Fighting For Control is already a power name on Man-Bat.

[Ronin]

Ah, thanks! I kinda figured that was generic enough that we might have used it already - I'll make a note to swap it out by the time we're in editing.

[Ronin]

Power name updated, took some photos.

Spoiler Alert!

Front Side:

NAME = MECHAGODZILLA

GHOST IN THE MACHINE
After revealing an Order Marker on the card of Mechagodzilla's Driver and before taking a turn with the Driver, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 2 from your roll for each huge figure within 4 clear sight spaces. If you roll 5 or lower, flip this card over.

FLYING DRAG
Once per round before moving, you may choose for Mechagodzilla to gain the Flying special power for this turn. After moving, you may choose a huge enemy figure that Mechagodzilla passed over. Place that figure on any empty spaces adjacent to Mechagodzilla. It will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

TWIN MASER CANNON
Instead of attacking, choose up to 2 figures that are within 2 spaces of each other and within 6 spaces of Mechagodzilla. Roll the 20-sided die for each figure. If you choose only one figure and that figure is huge, you may roll for that figure twice. If you roll 12 or higher, that figure receives 2 wounds.

REGAINING CONTROL
While this side of the card is face up, any figure that was occupying Mechagodzilla still occupies Mechagodzilla as if he were a full cover destructible object. At the end of the round, flip this card over.

DESTRUCTIVE SPIRIT OF GODZILLA
After revealing an Order Marker on any other card you control and instead of taking a turn with that card, you must take a turn with Mechagodzilla. During this turn, if possible, Mechagodzilla must move closer to a huge figure and must attack.

PROJECTILE ARSENAL 5 SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4 + Special. Attack 5 + Special.
When attacking with this special attack, you may
• add 2 to the range; or
• roll 1 additional attack die; or
• choose all figures adjacent to the targeted figure, other than Mechagodzilla, to be affected.
After attacking with this special attack, Mechagodzilla may attack with it one additional time.

SUPER STRENGTH

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Mechagodzilla, Amuro (1050) vs Citizen V, Atlas, Meteorite, Songbird, MACH-I (1050)

Spoiler Alert!

Pretty big win for Amuro!Mechagodzilla - that said, he caught a few lucky breaks, and the Thunderbolts trade on their defense, which MechaG was able to punch through pretty easily.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mechagodzilla with 6/15 Life, Amuro with 4/4 Life

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Mechagodzilla, Jubilee, Wolverine (1240) vs RX-78-2 Gundam, Amuro Ray, Ms. Marvel (Carol), Omni-Man (1240)

Spoiler Alert!

Wolverine got dropped pretty hard by Ms. Marvel and Omni-Man, and he took an early OM with him, which swung the momentum against MechaG. MechaG also lost a big initiative where he had some prayer of turning things around, which led to a Team Gundam win.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Ms. Marvel with 1/5 Life, Gundam with 6/7 Life, Amuro with 4/4 Life

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Mechagodzilla, Weather Wizard (1000) vs Godzilla (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Ran this one a couple times. Kinda beefed it in the first game by running MechaG right into melee, and the genuine article got the better of him.

Took more advantage of it MechaG's ability to dictate placement with his masers in game two, and he eked out a win - a 3 Life Godzilla took him out at the very end of the round, and put an excess wound on Weather Wizard. Wizard took the initiative and put the last 3 wounds on Godzilla with his SA to win the game.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Godzilla with 7/20 Life
Weather Wizard with 3/4 Life

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Pretty even results here, and I like how he's playing overall.

The Flying Drag enemy movement only came up in one game - there's not a huge pressure to use it in the context of the Mechagodzilla vs Godzilla throwdown, because the main application is to get someone away from support figures (he yoinked Atlas away from Songbird in game one). It might have been more relevant against Big G on a different map, or in a >1000 match where Godzilla was getting backed by Anderson or something.

Otherwise, everything felt relevant and he's got plenty of dials to turn depending on how testing shakes out, so I like where he's at.

[Ronin]

Let's send him to testing.
