Looking pretty balanced! You know you can edit posts, right?

Yea for testing.

I do, I've just always done it like this so it bumps the thread each time a new test is posted/the tests don't get buried if other people have been commenting. If it's annoying, I can change it, but no one's mentioned it before so I assumed there wasn't a problem with it, and there is a method to my madness!

[IAmBatman]

I could see it confusing people who read every post and then wonder why they're reading the same information over and over.

[Arch-vile]

Yeah, I'd edit the posts. No point repeating the info when it's linked in the OP anyway.

Ark usually just updates his first post then offers a "Initials posted" bump when he finishes.

Yea.

This!

And this!

[Lazy Orang]

Okay, fair enough, I'll shift procedure! (Assuming I remember next time this comes up... my intent is reliable, but I can hardly say the same for my memory! )

This Passes! Will post her to playtesting later today.

Question for you guys - should I throw in Razer as a bonus for playtesters who test Aya? She doesn't need him to function, but he's one of her stronger pairings and a pairing she was specifically designed around. I'd like your opinion before she's posted.

[Arch-vile]

I don’t think it’s necessary but I don’t have anything against it.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah that's firmly up to you and what you want to see!

[Lazy Orang]

Thanks, chaps! I appreciate it. My gut says throw Razer in, so I've just put the advert up.

Match with a couple big swings in momentum that made for an interesting matchup. Fate fell early, and in hindsight was a bad call here since he got ate up by the auto-wounds and mobility of the opponent.

___________________________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
Seems fairly balanced. Decent potential with dropping people in with unblockables before attacking, but it felt manageable for the opponent in both games. She pairs nicely with Hal, and Arkillo was an interesting try just to get him into your opponent's face for some nasty wounding early on with the 2 unblockables + Eviscerate + Attack he gets when placed. I wasn't much into the design due to the stuffed power text(maybe some re-wording and re-organizing could help? For example, the random initiative bit tacked on, and not liking the repeating of "at the start of the game" in the same power, or 2 powers having to reference her still being on the card to benefit) involved and the Lanterns not really needing the movement/placement, but I had fun with them!
