Do 4 yeas pass?

Also, what do you all estimate the points at?

[Ronin]

Yep. And I'm not sure... mid-upper 100s?

Did you need someone to hit the initial? I'll have time for that this week.

[quozl]

If you could do the initiial, that would be awesome! Thank you!

[Ronin]

I'll start on her tonight and, assuming all goes well, finish her up tomorrow.

[quozl]

Wonderful!

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Mirage

Army Test
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Mirage @175, Cable, Sage, Armor, Jubilee (800) vs Luke Cage, Iron Man Mk IV, Iron Fist, Ragdoll (800)

Spoiler Alert!

Cable and Mirage both kind of flop in this one. Luke and Danny manage to close quickly on the road and beat em down. Mirage gets a Greatest Fear down once, but Danny rolls high enough to beat it on his first shot.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 0 wounds to Ragdoll in 1 attack, 0 wounds to Iron Fist in 1 attack
• Psychic Arrows: never rolled
• Greatest Fear: placed once. Danny came up with a 16 and immediately got rid of it.
• Damage Taken: 1 wound from Iron Fist in 1 attack, 3 wounds from Iron Fist in 2 attacks (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Luke Cage with 3 wounds, Iron Man and Ragdoll unwounded

Army Test
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Mirage @175, Cable, Sage, Armor, Jubilee (800) vs Nightwing, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire (800)

Spoiler Alert!

Better luck for the Mutants this time, as Cable and the Sidekicks manage to do the lion's share of the work, leaving Mirage and Sage to throw down with Nightwing. Mirage eventually manages to take down Nightwing on a couple whiffed rolls.

She dropped the Greatest Fear DO a couple times early on, once preventing Cyborg from advancing during his turn and once failing to stop Kory from taking a turn. She didn't bother with it once the Sidekicks went down - definitely burning your own turn to probably burn an opponent's didn't seem worthwhile.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 4 wounds to Nightwing in 6 attacks (all Sage-boosted) (destroyed)
• Psychic Arrows: 1 roll, 1 success (successful before Sage boost). Nuked the X off Nightwing (which was not helpful because Nightwing's teammates were dead)
• Greatest Fear: placed two times. Cyborg rolled a 4 and burnt his turn destroying the DO. Starfire rolled a 17 and dispelled the Fear
• Damage Taken: 2 wounds from Nightwing in 4 normal attacks & 2 special attacks

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mirage with 2 wounds and Sage unwounded

Army Test
Map: Ivy's Greenhouse
Units: Mirage @175, Professor X, Deadpool, Angel (Warren) (770) vs Captain America, Bucky, Valkyrie, Zombie (770)

Spoiler Alert!

Mirage disrupts the Avengers' advance a couple times and gives Deadpool some extra time to take potshots at them. She also manages to score some wounds on Zombie and Cap, though she never has a chance to roll for Psychic Arrows. She would have gone down a little sooner, but Chuck used Psychic Defense X to block a 5-skull attack roll from Cap. The Mutants' range gives them a definite edge, and they use their better board control to take out Cap and Valkyrie just before Professor X can go down.

Unit Summary:

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): 1 wound to Zombie in 1 attack, 2 wounds to Captain America in 3 attacks
• Psychic Arrows: never rolled (Cap and Zombie both had no OMs when Mirage wounded them)
• Greatest Fear: placed the DO three times. DO was destroyed by Valkyrie the first time without ever requiring a d20 roll. DO wasted a Captain America turn the second time, when he rolled an 8. DO was no-sold the third time when Cap rolled an 18
• Damage Taken: 1 wound from Bucky in 1 special attack, 3 wounds from Cap in 1 attack (destroyed)

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Deadpool unwounded (healed back up from a max of 2 wounds), Angel with 3 wounds, Professor X with 3 wounds

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Definitely an effective figure to park on height and throw the occasional turn in a Mutant bonding build. She isn't hugely menacing, but she can definitely mess with enemy efficiency, and being a Mutant gives her a lot of build options.

Psychic Arrows didn't come into play too much here, but it definitely could against the right army (or if she were played in a build that played up her normal attack more).
