That's cool. Makes more sense now that you explained it a little more.

- MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game.
Pass, this whole test form is a mirror test though.

- BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding.

All Tests Run On: Custom (City Block Lexan matwith 4 Warehouse Ruins.)


Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 210-220
- Give a brief summary. It's hard to test Mirror Mirage correctly. Ideally, I would choose where Mirror Master's face marker would go, but when solo scaping, I have to make it random so I don't know where he is gonna go. That said, both his powers are really useful.

Spoiler Alert!

Mirror Master w/ 1 wound.
Mirror Master w/ 2 wounds.

_____________________________________________________________

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 200
- Give a brief summary. Apokolyptian Tech is a good way to bypass Mirror Mirage, but Mirror Master was able to use TTLG to avoid getting swarmed at least once.
Units: Mirror Master VS Parademon Shock Troopers x2.5 (200)
Shock Troopers win w/ 2 left

_____________________________________________________________

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 210
- Give a brief summary. Mirror Master was able to avoid an early Kill Box SA with his Mirage power.
Units: Mirror Master VS SHIELD Agents x2 (220)
SHEILD Agents w/ 1 left

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 140-150
- Give a brief summary. He didn't do much damage himself here, but when he used TTLG on Oracle she got killed the next turn so I think that's worth a good bit. Tangling with Booster Gold was a challenge for him the whole game.
Units: Mirror Master (150), Gorilla Grodd, Green Arrow (Oliver) and Creeper (650) VS Flash, Oracle and Booster Gold (650)

Spoiler Alert!

Oracle got killed in one shot by Grodd early in the game after Mirror Master used TTLG to swap places with her. Booster gave Mirror Master 3 wounds with his SA. Gorilla Grodd kills Flash after a couple of good attacks from height. When Grodd went after Booster, Booster got a 6 skull attack from height and Grodd whiffed (He had all the OMs for the round so Booster gets 2 free turns). Booster kills Creeper from height with his two free turns. Leaving Green Arrow and Mirror Master w/ 1 life against Booster Gold with full health. Booster killed Mirror Master with his SA (a great counter if he can get close enough because he is usually gonna get a second chance to attack Mirror Master.) Booster was then able to catch up with Green Arrow and finish him off while only taking one wound.
Booster Gold w/ 1 wound.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 150
- Give a brief summary. Mirror Master and Flash duked it out so to speak here with Mirror Master taking advantage of Flash's speed and taking the height from him.
Units: Mirror Master (150), Hush, Doctor Light and Scarecrow (700) VS Flash, Professor Zoom and Batman (700)

Spoiler Alert!

Hush has a Vendetta against Flash this game.

Mirror Master was a nusance to both speedsters this game, but mostly Flash. He would only take 1-2 turns per round, usually taking Flash's height (but occasionally Batman's) from him then shooting at either speedster. Mirror Master gave Flash and Batman 2 wounds each over the course of the game, but fell to Professor Zoom's SA, who used it to chase him and hit him 3 times in one turn even though he was Miraging away. In the end the bad guys pulled ahead when Hush killed Batman for the win.
Dr. Light with 3 wounds and Hush with 2 wounds.

He's feeling pretty powerful. I almost think making Mirror Mirage not work against Special Attacks might give him more of a counter. (Besides, it almost gets annoying putting markers out every time he is attacked)

[IAmBatman]

hmm ... yeah, that's a bit too powerful for my taste, especially with Captain Cold feeling like 100 points. I'd prefer the two were a bit closer, which may call for some tweaking on both ends!

[tcglkn]

Dropping his attack to 3 here might be a good call as well. TTLG makes it easy for him to get hight.

[Griffin]

A special attack counter makes it impossible to get that cool mirror mirage theme going against Flash though, as he is just gonna run his SA all the time. Is his defense and attack too high maybe? Try dropping those a bit.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Put me down for Attack to drop.

[Griffin]

Lowering his effectiveness is a good idea, and you do that by dropping the attack/defense.

[tcglkn]

Dropping his defense probably wouldn't hurt either. He already has a good defense power.

If you guys want, I can restart testing with 3A/3D. I think that could easily get him to the 140-160 if not lower.

That always seemed like the Flash's thoughts when he took on this guy .

I'm fine if to both of these changes to get his cost down.

Yeah I always thought of him the more powerful of the 2 but close maybe up to 50 diff at the most.

Cheers

[IAmBatman]

Sounds like an attack/defense drop is the key here. Maybe Cold just needs that leadership power after all? I'll think on it overnight ...

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing them meet in the middle.
