POWER OF BLACK ADAM
At the start of the game, choose a figure named Black Adam you control. While you control Osiris and that Black Adam, add 1 to Osiris's Move, Attack, and Defense numbers. After revealing an Order Marker on that Black Adam's Army Card and before taking a turn with him, you may take an immediate turn with Osiris, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

HERU AND AMON
If Osiris inflicts one or more wounds with a normal attack, you may either:
• Move Osiris up to 3 spaces, or up to 5 spaces if he destroyed the defending figure. He will not take any leaving engagement attacks; or
• Choose the defending figure, or all figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Osiris if he destroyed the defending figure. The chosen figures subtract 1 from their defense for this player turn.

'TROUBLED YOUTH'
If Osiris has destroyed a Unique Hero this game, he cannot take a turn unless you revealed an Order Marker on his card or took temporary control of him this player turn.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Initiative Titans. Changeling flies forward.
Osiris jumps into the Gundam and Black Adam advances.
Raven advances.
Osiris flies up the Gundam and hits Raven for a wound. Black Adam engages Raven and punches her for a wound, but fails to get a third with Power of Aton.
Titans Go! Starfire fails three attacks on Black Adam, Raven Soul Selfs a wound onto Black Adam, then Nightwing advances onto shadow and hits Black Adam for two wounds.
Osiris uses the Gundam’s triple attack to put one wound on Raven. Black Adam punches Raven for a wound, then hits Power of Aton to finish her.
Changeling and Black Adam both take lava field wounds.

Round 2: Initiative Titans. Black Adam heals one wound. Titans Go! Changeling hits Black Adam for a Python wound and takes a wound back from Courage of Mehen. Starfire Recklessly Engages Black Adam from height and uses Changeling’s two wounds for a triple attack. She KO’s Black Adam. Nightwing advances and fails a ranged attack on the Gundam.
Black Adam had OM1.
Starfire triple attacks the Gundam from height for two wounds.
Black Adam had OM2.
Tempest advances.
Osiris uses Gundam to attack Starfire normally, but fails to hit.

Round 3: Initiative Osiris. He uses the Gundam to attack Changeling from height, but rolls terribly and only gets one wound.
Titans Go! Changeling smacks the Gundam for a wound. Starfire triple attacks the Gundam for two wounds. Nightwing can’t hit the Gumdam.
Osiris uses the Gundam to hit Changeling for three wounds from height.

Round 7: Initiative Shadowcat. She engages Nightwing, but can’t hit him.

Unit Summary: Osiris and Black Adam targeted and took down Raven early here, but this just let Starfire put them through the meat grinder. Probably the wrong strategy in retrospect. Osiris in a Gundam was fun, but he didn’t get enough turns with Black Adam to make it really pay off.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (7) wounds on (Changeling (1), Starfire (5), Tempest (1))
• POWER OF BLACK ADAM: Used for bonding turns (3) times. Controlled Black Adam until (2nd) round.
• HERU AND AMON: Movement used (2) times; defense subtraction used (0) times.
• ”TROUBLED YOUTH”: Destroyed (Changeling) Round (3), Turn (5)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Tempest with 3/4 Life and Nightwing with Full Life win.

Deathstroke and shoots Black Canary for a wound.

Round 2: Wonder Woman sheds a JL Marker. Initiative Mercs. Deathstroke goes Machiavellian. Cheshire fails two ranged attacks on Black Canary. Osiris punches out Black Canary, who misses her cry. Deathstroke blasts Hawkwoman for three wounds, thanks in part to the defense subtraction.

Osiris had OM3.

Round 6: Initiative Cheshire. She double attacks and hits Wonder Woman for a third wound.
Hawkwoman can’t hit Cheshire.
Cheshire KO’s Wonder Woman with a double attack.
Wonder Woman had OM2.
Cheshire attacks Hawkwoman and takes her final wound.

Unit Summary: Osiris was a big target and was taken down early here before he could do too much offensively. The potential and synergy with his Merc Titans cohorts was apparent, however. This mostly came down to the Justice League having few answers for Cheshire and the Mercs having fewer answers for Hawkwoman.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (1) wounds on (Black Canary (1))
• POWER OF BLACK ADAM: Used for bonding turns (0) times. Did not control Black Adam here.
• HERU AND AMON: Movement used (0) times; defense subtraction used (1) time.
• ”TROUBLED YOUTH”: Destroyed (Black Canary) Round (2), Turn (1)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Hawkwoman with 1/5 Life and Green Arrow with 2/4 Life and a Poison Marker win a close one.

___________________________________________________________

He's a fun piece, I just didn't have terrible amounts of luck keeping him and his synergy partner going for long in the same game, which is probably a part of why they lost both. I think the potential is there, though, and those were just swings of the dice.

Belated my pleasure. He's fun, even if he didn't quite get his opportunities to line up for me. I could grock the potential. Hoping we can get him out in this next release.

[tcglkn]

Updated the links here since I moved the rest of them and this will go straight to release holding. Also gonna try to test this today for you.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Danke

Spent too long setting up my testing map and putting my stuff away from the con, but I have some armies picked and I’ll run the tests tomorrow.

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt (1 random glyph in the Fortress)
Units: Osiris, Black Adam, Captain America (Steve), Ms. Marvel (Kamala), Wasp (I) (1000) VS Fantastic Four

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: 2 wounds to Invisible Woman

Power of Black Adam: Bonding was nice, they took Invisible Woman out in one turn.

Heru and Amon: Only got to trigger this once, reduced IW's defense for Black Adam and she died.

Troubled Youth: He didn't kill IW so he was all clear this game

Kinda a swingy game, Black Adam and Osiris were able to take out IW quickly, but Human Torch Flame Oned them both twice (Torch took the full 4 wounds himself...) so Thing was set up to Clobber Black Adam and took him down in a single turn. Tighted up a little when Cap was able to kill Torch and Ms. Marvel used Embiggen to get a couple wounds on Thing, but Thing was still just too tough to crack.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mister Fantastic with 2 wounds, Thing with 2 wounds.

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt (1 random glyph in the Fortress)
Units: Osiris, Black Adam, Captain America (Sam) (800) VS Nightwing (I), Raven, Superboy (the one we just fixed), Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm) (800)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: 1 wounds on Superboy, 3 wounds on Raven

Power of Black Adam: Bonding was nice, getting two attacks on Raven is required.

Heru and Amon: Pretty much always chose the defense reduction mode, but I was going after targets I wanted to soften up for Black Adam.

Troubled Youth: Osiris ended up taking down Raven, so he lost his ability to bond which made things rough

Pretty quick one, it looked like Black Adam was going to steamroll the Titans after him and Osiris took out Raven then Superboy back to back, but he just couldn't land a hit on that pesky Acrobat and finally got worked down.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Aqualad with 2 wounds, Nightwing with 1 wound

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Couple of losses here, but I don't fully feel like they are Osiris' fault, especially in the Fan 4 game the dice were weighted in the Fan 4's favor a lot. I think he wants a slight point drop, but you like him at 240 for the Deathstoke build so I'd probably consider making his Heru and Amon power just trigger when he attacks since the move one is only really useful when he's killed someone and has to work on his own since reducing defense for Black Adam is almost always better.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

So something like this then?

After attacking with Osiris's normal attack, you may either:
• Move Osiris up to 3 spaces, or up to 5 spaces if he destroyed the defending figure. He will not take any leaving engagement attacks; or
• Choose the defending figure, or all figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Osiris if he destroyed the defending figure. The chosen figures subtract 1 from their defense for this player turn.

Would we be good with going to final editing with that or do we want more tests?
