Looks solid. Of course I've never heard of her before, but still looks cool. Ok now on to the powers. If Shockwave is a Special Attack, shouldn't it say "Range Special. Attack 3." to start it off. Also you should metion whether LOS is needed or not to use Shockwave. As in "Arclight must have line of sight to attack all figures" or "Arclight does not need line of sight when using Shockwave Special Attack." Then for Tremor I think you need to specify that you Arclight is or is not affected by the attack.

With 3 defense and only 4 life Arclight isn't going to stay around long. Even with her specials, I'm not sure they are powerful enough to warrent a 170 price tag. Only playtesting will tell, but I'm think a huge drop in points is in order.

Good call on all accounts! As to her point value, I originally had her at 140, but upped it in consideration of regular HS play. Maybe I need to take her back down and see how it works out.

Thanks for your help!

Okay, I updated the card a little bit after playtesting, and hopefully this works better. I realized that I should be making a card that I would actually enjoy playing, and the 3 attack on the special just wasn't doing it for me in terms of MarvelScape.

She MIGHT need a slight bump in points, so I'll be back after some more playtesting.

The dreaded triple-post!!!

I added Typhoid Mary, who's a lot of fun to play - I haven't matched her up with Daredevil yet, but she works well with the "official" figures.

Troll Warrior · #6 August 23rd, 2007, 06:31 AM

Personally, I'd change Typhoid Mary's class to Feminist rather than Man-Hater, but other than that I give her, and you, a thumbs up!

Chuckrock · #7 August 27th, 2007, 12:52 AM

I'd agree with the troll. Good job!

Looks like Lil' Chuck and i need to step up and submit some of the one's we've come up with. I mean, when you have so many crappy clix models that you've gotten, you should play with one.

Jonathan · #8 August 27th, 2007, 06:18 AM

Thanks! Added Cheshire and Cyborg - let me know how I should tweak.

Cyborg needs a price bump bad. He has a 6 attack and a 7 defense, same as Thanos, is he really that powerful? Actually I guess I thought about it some more and he doesn't seem too overpowered. Sonic Cannon is like Shield Throw, but 2 less attack. And Tactical Sensors is worse than Counterstrike and Tactician on Captain. Ok ignore the comment about price bumping, unless playtesting proves otherwise, I like what you've done here.

Jonathan · #10 August 27th, 2007, 01:55 PM

Thanks, and my thoughts were pretty much like yours as far as Cyborg vs. Cappy are concerned.

Here's Vertigo, an X-Men/Spider-Man villain, who isn't really much of a threat now to anyone besides Hulk and Abomination, as everyone else has a ranged attack. She is still somewhat annoying to the other side, and it's really fun to see Hulk go leaping 10 spaces in the wrong direction.

Tiberius · #12 August 30th, 2007, 02:23 PM

I like vertigo on everything except for powers that effect the next turn. It isnt that it doesnt go with her powers or theme, I just never liked abilities like that because it is too difficult to manage (in my opinion anyhow). What about removing order markers for this turn instead of not allowing them to move next turn?
