The Book of the Glyph of Sonic Gun

[Yodaking]

If it doesn't harm humans and only effects symbiotes, then targeted one hex shooting makes more sense to me. Makes it sound like it's be 'tuned' to a frequency that specifically effects symbiotes. Kind of like how a dog whistle works. Maybe include dogs here if you really wanted to increase it's potential use. Die Cosmo! Die!

Finally, Reed can cleanse the earth of those pesky space dogs.

Sounds like pretty good buy-in on the tweaked direction so far. Thoughts from @johnny139 ?

[johnny139]

I think trading away the general use stuff for the more specific, theme-y "knock the Venom off you" stuff is fun. Niche, like you said, but I don't think we're really hurting for more general-use auto-wound glyphs anyways.

[Ronin]

Alrighty, sounds like we've got a winner. SP updated. Let's send this thing to initial testing.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Sonic Gun

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Maximum Carnage (1100) vs Venom (II), Red Skull (I), Baron Zemo (Heinrich), Enchantress (II), Ravage (1100)

Spoiler Alert!

Had a couple Sonic Guns on the map. Amora picked one up early on. She used it one time when she wanted to move to high ground; she got herself engaged with Demogoblin, but wanted to hit Carnage, so popped him for a wound with the gun.

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Maximum Carnage (1100) vs Venom (Symbiote), Bloodshot, Sgt. Rock, War Machine, Captain America (Hasbro) (1100)

Spoiler Alert!

Sonic Guns sat unused on this one until the Venom symbiote seized control of Doppelganger in the endgame: Demogoblin scooped up the sonic gun and used it to repel the Venom symbiote from Doppel at the expense of a wound. He got Doppelganger back in his army, and destroyed the Venom symbiote, since it only had 1 Life left.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED GLYPH: It's a bit niche, but that's not unexpected. Inherently not as useful against the "high Life, low Defense" variety of symbiote, but I imagine it'll feel like it has a bit more bite against Symbiote Spider-Man and similar with their attack evasions. Definitely feels more interesting when the Venom symbiote is in play - should get more relevant as we add more "symbiote on the host's card" type units. (I've got a couple more in mind!)

Might do to lower the d20 roll a bit, given the nicheness.

[Ronin]

Bumped the roll down to 7. Proposing we move this to sanctum testing. (Since it's a throw-in, I was planning on just handling this like we did the Chili and letting sanctum members toss it into games)
