The Book of Duploids

[japes]

Triplicate girl was my original template for these guys so that's where I got it. I'll get to this soon.

No need to update, I think for the Unique Heroes portrayed as squads it is fine.

My understanding is that you would "read" the left box as [Personality Species Class], just because on how grammar works.

I think Vengeful Metahuman Criminal works here since it is a unique character divided so we are all good.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Duploids @100 points, 3 Defense

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Kingpin (I), Duploids, Mysterio, Mysterio Holograms (470) vs Robot, Crossbones, Ragdoll (470)

Spoiler Alert!

Duploids got mopped up pretty good here in the first game. Never got that blank on defense. They ate a few Crossbones attacks but didn't have any offensive accomplishments, and all dropped in one attack each.

Same story in the second game - wasted some attacks, kept Crossbones tied down, never replicated. They did score a wound on Robot though.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes):
Mysterio with 1 Life and Mysterio Holograms
Kingpin with 3 Life, Mysterio with full Life and Mysterio Holograms

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Kingpin (I), Duploids, Mysterio, Mysterio Holograms (470) vs Spider-Man, Songbird, Kick-Ass (470)

Spoiler Alert!

This is the game where the Duploids decided to throw some blanks. They no-sold 4 attacks and brought back 2 destroyed Duploids. They also brought down Kick-Ass and finished off Songbird. Endgame came down to Duploids vs Spidey. They got enough cracks at him that they eventually brought him down.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): 2 Duploids

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Worth noting that they were up against builds that didn't have great squad-busting tools; didn't think it would be very informative to run them against Punisher and see them get lit up. So their results look a bit strong here. They're also streaky just by the nature of the Self-Duplication power. Hitting it once multiplies your chances to hit it again.

Absolutely still worth grabbing as filler in Criminal builds at 3 Defense. Annoying tie-down that moves for free.

Cards updated to Defense 3

Duploids were dropped to Defense of 3 BTW. If you were already aware of that and still think there is an issue let me know. I feel the full combo is worth the set cost but I can re balance and put more in the Duploids and take some out of Multiplex.

Nah, I was rolling pretty hot on the blanks for them. If they were still 4 defense there'd be an issue, but I think they're OK as is.

I really know nothing about them, I was just teasing since I know they’ve been deemed strong along the way. I haven’t actually checked out what all they do yet.

fair enough. I respect your opinion on things like this so if you did have an issue I didn't want to ignore it. Thanks for clarifying.
