If that pic works for you japes, it works for me.
Very cool. Should be able to wrap this up soon.

I just glanced from my phone but it looked usable. Is it the correct mini though?

[Tornado]

Yes. The upside down figure is going to be best, the crouching figure is tiny.

Updated figure info and linked figure pic. Thanks Bambam.
@japes let me know if you need anything else for the comic and background art. I tried for some Canadian wilderness pics but I am open to whatever. Thank you.

Looking good here.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Puck

Army Test
Map: Sacred Shrine
Units: Puck, Baron Heinrich Zemo, Red Skull (C3G), Captain America (C3G), Bucky, Angel (Warren) (1000) vs Nightwing, Red Robin, Superboy (Kon-El), Starfire, Raven (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

The two teams met up more-or-less in the middle of the map. The Titans took an early blow when Red Skull and Puck teamed up to take down Starfire. Puck used Bouncing Puck to move Starfire away from her teammates to keep her Defense down (and also hit her for a wound) while Red Skull hit her for three more wounds. Puck took a couple wounds from Nightwing, but Red Skull used the Cube to pull a wound off of him and destroy Starfire. After Red Skull dealt a wound to Superboy, he chained another turn into Puck, who hit Red Robin for would-have-been-3 wounds (Superboy elected to take one wound instead) and Nightwing for would-have-been-2 wounds (Nightwing got away with Acrobatic Mastery).

Puck dropped out of the fight for a little bit (mostly due to the fight being taken around the other side of a pillar where Red Skull didn't have clear sight to him). In the meanwhile, the Titans managed to bring down Angel and Red Skull.

With Red Skull down, Zemo starts giving more turns direct to Puck, using him for two purposes: keeping Raven separated from her teammates and hitting Nightwing with auto-wounds. His multi-attacks also come in handy against the clustered Titans. In the following melee, Puck wounds Nightwing twice with Bouncing Puck and uses his normal attack to put 2 wounds on Raven, 2 on Superboy, 2 on Tim, and finish off Dick. In exchange, Superboy hits him once for 2 wounds and Cartwheel Defense saves him twice.

Puck's reign of terror comes to an end when Raven uses Soul Self to wound him twice in a row, on an initiative-swing double turn. Superboy, Tim, and Raven might have stood a chance against the remainder of some armies, but they have a hard time piercing Captain America's defense, and he and Bucky clean them up.

Unit Summary:

• Normal Attack (Whirlwind Assault): 13 total attacks. Dealt 2 wounds to Red Robin, 2 wounds to Raven, 2 wounds to Superboy, 2 wounds to Nightwing (destroyed). One attack that would have dealt wounds absorbed as 1 wound by Superboy
• Bouncing Puck: Used several times to separate Raven and Starfire from the herd. Dealt 3 wounds (1 to Starfire, 2 to Nightwing) in 5 uses
• Cartwheel Defense: Used to move Puck (either out of danger or into it) 3 times. Prevented 1 wound.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Captain America with 2 wounds, Bucky with 1 wound, Baron Zemo unwounded

Army Test
Map: Sewer Labyrinth
Units: Puck, Martian Manhunter I, Archangel, Skrull Infiltrator x2 (800) vs Iron Patriot, USAgent, Super-Skrull (Rl'nnd) (800)

Spoiler Alert!

A weak showing for Puck here. He bounded into action and used Bouncing Puck to drop USAgent in the drink, and hit him for a wound. Unfortunately, his height advantage led him to get cocky, and he tried attacking USAgent. He dealt no damage and took 2 wounds himself from Ruthless Counterstrike. On the next turn, Iron Patriot attacked him twice and Puck rolled no shields and then one shield to go down early. Martian Manhunter didn't quite pull his weight either, leading to a pretty big victory for Team 2.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Iron Patriot with 2 wounds, U.S.Agent with 2 wounds, Rl'nnd with 1 wound

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: He feels solid at 220. No faction play (yet?), but he's a fun, versatile figure with a good deal of utility.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Fun design! Really liking Cartwheel Defense; 2-shields-blocks-all is a clever way of making a slightly more 'stable' acrobatic power. He's the kind of guy who's probably going to be working his way into a few of my generalist builds.

[Tornado]

Let me know if anyone feels a price bump. Otherwise I will propose Final Editing at 220 soon. Thanks everyone!!!

[IAmBatman]

4-2 in public testing. I don't think he's broken at 220, but might cheat up to 230 just to feel "safe." That said, 10 points is never going to make that much of a difference, so you've got my support at either cost.

[Tornado]

I am cool at 230 as well. I could see him getting a boost down the road from Operative synergy. Thanks Bats.
Any and all thoughts are welcome.

japes, let me know if everything is cool Art-wise. I know you OK'd the figure pic, I imagine there is enough comic options, just not sure if those background pics work for you. Thanks

[Viegon]

I'm fine with either 220 or 230. Pre-yea to Final Editing either way.

[IAmBatman]

Likewise. Pre-yea.

[Karat]

Pre-yea

[Tornado]

I propose Final Editing at 220.
