I think that passes now. Thank you!

It does

[Lord Pyre]

I feel like Ultimate Sacrifice should say one OTHER Unique Hero you control? So he can protect his lady?

Otherwise anything you're looking for here? He looks like a good Starlord / Cap pairing, especially since he can carry one of them with him and has a double attack. GCW are the other obvious choice. Anything else?

It shouldn't say one other because of the case when there are no others. But anything you feel like testing is OK with me.

Since he has the carry, Bane might be better than Cap for him. Though Cap does help protect Star-Lord. Robot, Bane, Star-Lord, Kong would be where I'd start, though, for a generalist build.

Well currently if there are no others then Kong himself is the only choice. Seems like a theme break. I'd almost rather it not come into play at that point.

It's better than it not coming into play at all. Remember that your opponent chooses the unique hero. They should always choose the one easiest to wound.

[Lord Pyre]

I mean, there's no theme of him trying to sacrifice himself to protect someone if they pick Kong. If you want to build your army with no Unique Heroes other than Kong to get around that, then great I guess? Generally squad based armies in C3G aren't amazing so you'd be neutering yourself.

He's just getting mad when he gets wounded and going off, still protecting his common/event allies. And GCW are amazing.

[Lord Pyre]

If you want to keep the theme of him protecting his squads or common figures, why don't we do something like this?

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
At the start of the game, choose an opponent to choose an Army Card you control. If a figure from that Army Card receives one or more wounds from an opponent's attack, immediately move King Kong up to 6 spaces, move all of your Order Markers to this card, and you must place all of your Order Markers on this card until King Kong is destroyed.

If you really need him to be able to be picked, I'd rather rename the power to be "Gorilla Rage" or something like that. I don't see any "ultimate sacrifice" if he gets shot and gets angry about that.
