INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
If JoJo has 3+ wounds when attacking an enemy with a normal attack, add +1 hit.

HAMON HEALING
Before cleanup, you may reveal Order Marker X on this card. During cleanup, if there are 1+ revealed Order Markers on this card, you may heal this figure 1 wound.


KEYWORDS: Hamon User

[ALEXAN2507]

Basically the 1.0 design I did years back with some wording changes for 2.0, I'll throw out some little explainers here.

Hamon is essentially an energy like the Sun's energy that can be produced by humans by intensely controlled breathing. In JJBA, it makes you really good at killing vampires and zombies as a result. It also helps you recover from wounds a bit quicker than people generally do, but it's not a crazy Wolverine healing factor or anything.

Sunlight Yellow Overdrive is a technique Jonathan uses that basically amounts to using Hamon energy to let him throw a rapid flurry of blows, hence the two attacks.

This one's a fairly straightforward design.

Could you just do something with the Light damage type and avoid doing a niche counterdraft power? (Tbf, "Pillar Men and Undead" and "figures with Light Weakness" are probably about equivalent groups right now, but we've kinda moved away from hard counterdrafty powers as an aesthetic.)

Otherwise, I might move the powers around like so and just give him full time healing. Having to roll a d20 to get a once-per-round heal trends into that "why am I working to get what others have for free?" zone.

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
If JoJo has 3+ wounds when attacking an enemy with a normal attack, add +1 hit.

HEALING 1
During cleanup, JoJo heals 1 wound.

Just keeps all the attack stuff together instead of Hamon User being a 2 powers smooshed into 1.

I was largely basing the -2 Defence on the Nth Metal Mace power that's still more or less how it was in 1.0. I'd probably prefer to use your second tidy-up idea here, but I'd also want to add Hamon User as a keyword since I had some synergy powers on other cards designed around it.

NAME = TIDAL WHALE
IDENTITY = N/A

UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
SPECIES = ROBOT
CLASS =
PERSONALITY =

SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE ?

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = ???

DUFF MCWHALEN IS A CLEAR REFERENCE TO GUNS 'N' ROSES. AND YOU KNOW WHAT GUNS 'N' ROSES HAS TO DO WITH MEGA MAN? NOTHING! HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN!
During Tidal Whale’s transition, you may choose an enemy within 4 clear spaces of Tidal Whale that does not have Ice Resistance and roll up to 4 combat dice. For each shield, knockback that figure 1 space.

HIS STAGE IS AN UNDERWATER SCROLLING STAGE. SO ALREADY YOU HAVE AN UNDERWATER STAGE AND A SCROLLING STAGE. AND HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN, BY THE WAY.
After Tidal Whale’s ordered activation, you may activate up to 1 unit if he made no move actions this turn and up to 1 other unit if he made no attack actions this turn, then end your turn. Activated units must be Common or Uncommon figures that are Robots or have Water Affinity.

HIS NAME—I LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT THINKING ABOUT THIS! HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN!
During cleanup, you may inflict 1 wound on a figure that is exactly 5 spaces away from Tidal Whale.

FACTION = MAVERICKS
PUBLISHER = CAPCOM
KEYWORDS = Inorganic
SYMBOLS = SUPER STRENGTH, WATER AFFINITY

Soundwarp posted some fun ideas for Mega Man X villains in-sanctum and I just had to do it. He's canonically called Tidal Whale now because Capcom is staffed by cowards.

Gave him a leadership thing, which would feel odd if he was the only MM boss guy to have one. But that feels like something we could easily figure out.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I had some vague ideas for a Wily that makes someone your Robot Master on the Discord somewheres.

But Mavericks obviously don't have to work the same way even if we wanted to use that.

BETTER CONQUEST THROUGH ROBOT PROXY
At the start of the game, and whenever his Robot Master is destroyed, Wily may choose 1 Unique Android Hero to be his Robot Master. After revealing an Order Marker on his Robot Master and taking a turn with it, you may take a turn with up to two common or uncommon Androids you control that have not taken a turn yet this player turn. No more additional turns yo.

NAME = SPEEDWAGON
SECRET IDENTITY = ROBERT E. O. SPEEDWAGON

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ???
PERSONALITY = ENTHUSIASTIC

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 3

BUZZSAW HAT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4 Attack 1
Choose a non-adjacent figure within 4 spaces to target with this attack. For each skull rolled, add one Hit.

SIDELINE ENCOURAGEMENT
If Speedwagon is unengaged, JoJo figures within 5 spaces of Speedwagon add 1 to their Attack and Defence.

SPEEDWAGON WITHDRAWS COOLLY
When Speedwagon is targeted for an attack, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, you may immediately move Speedwagon up to 5 spaces with Stealth.

[ALEXAN2507]

Fairly simple deal here- Speedwagon's main thing in JJBA is acting as the commentator for fights for the reader/watcher and providing general assistance to both Part 1 and 2's JoJo's. Also his hat has buzzsaws in it.


I haven't changed this one much from my 1.0 idea, besides changing up the statline a bit. I see him as probably a sub-100 points guy.

[IAmBatman]

Well, at least it'll be easy for you to roll with the changes if this gets made.

NAME = BARON ZEPPELI

UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = MENTOR

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5

ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

HAMON MENTOR

Pillar Men and figures with the Undead keyword have -2 Defense against Baron Zeppeli’s normal attacks. At the start of the game, select one figure with the Hamon User keyword to be Zeppeli's Apprentice. When Zeppeli's Apprentice attacks with their normal attack, count 1 blank rolled as a Hit.

TORNADO OVERDRIVE
Move 3. Height 10.

Baron Zeppeli gains Flying and Stealth. If Baron Zeppeli attacks on a turn he used Tornado Overdrive, add 1 Hit to whatever is rolled.

ULTIMATE DEEP PASS OVERDRIVE

When Baron Zeppeli is defeated, add 1 to Zeppeli’s Apprentice Attack and Defense for the rest of the game.

HAMON HEALING
Before cleanup, you may reveal Order Marker X on this card. During cleanup, if there are 1+ revealed Order Markers on this card, you may heal this figure 1 wound.

KEYWORDS: Hamon Master

[ALEXAN2507]

As with Jonathan, the -2 Defense for Undead and Healing are representing Hamon powers. Hamon Mentor and the Apprentice stuff is pretty self explanatory, it's the role he fills for Jonathan in Part 1. Tornado Overdrive is basically a leaping attack. Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive represents him passing on his life force energy before he dies.

[MrNobody]

Have you considered the Mentor class?
