Did you actually play them at 35 points or were you playing them at 30 points the whole time?

30, but I could see bumping them to 35, though that feels like a minor change.

And yeah, I did..fixed

Looking good then. Focus in on taking out the soldiers first and the Kree heroes can put a hurting on you. Focus in on taking out the Kree heroes and the soldiers suddenly become a threat. Seems fairly balanced and fun.

I'd rather stick at 30 if possible - I'd like these guys as cheap and plentiful as we can manage. I think they're at a pretty good place for public playtesting, at least, prior to any changes.

This is how I feel as well, and I fell they're about golden as is.

pre-yea to next phase @ 30

[IAmBatman]

30-35 looks like the right range. I'm OK going into playtesting with either and letting the playtesting reports tell us which it should be. Pre-yea at 30 or 35.

[Viegon]

I wouldn't be surprised if public testing showed they'd need to go up to 35, but I'm fine seeing them stay at 30 for now. Pre-Yea.

[johnny139]

Pre-Yea as well.

[Karat]

I propose we move to public playtesting at 30

[TrollBrute]

Yea

[Karat]

This passes

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Kree Soldiers don't quite feel worth their points, they never made up their points in all three games. I think they could use a 5 point drop, I know that can be pretty big for a common hero, but I feel these guys could use it; or bump their move, attack, or defense.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Really fun and interest design, but currently they just aren't that good. Strategy between moving Kree Soldiers to defend your Kree hero or to attack is really fun. I really like the direction of this design, but their points need to come down a little or something else needs to be bumped up to make them worth it.
