C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Superman (V)

Version Tested:

NAME = SUPERMAN
SECRET IDENTITY = KAL-EL

SPECIES = KRYPTONIAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CHAMPION
PERSONALITY = INSPIRING
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7
MOVE = 7
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 7
POINTS = 380

FREEZE BREATH 11
Before taking a turn with Superman, you may choose up to two figures adjacent to Superman. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 11 or higher, the chosen figures subtract 1 from their Defense number and may not move this player turn.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR SUPERMAN
When Superman attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, add 3 + X to his Attack number. X equals the number of Wound Markers on the cards of friendly figures engaged with the defending figure, up to a maximum of 3.

HEROIC INSPIRATION
If Superman is destroyed by an enemy figure, for the remainder of the game, all Unique Heroes you control add 1 to their Attack number and any 20-sided die rolls.

Pretty hard hitting match out of the gate. Fantastic rolled a 1 to start the match, so they stuttered trying to get out of the start zone, which Superman and Martian Manhunter capitalized on and rushed them with Plastic Man in tow. Unfortunately, even though they powered through Invisible Woman and Fantastic quickly, Human Torch mostly eviscerated them with Fo4 and Supernova.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
He's super simple and fun. Plays like Superman, and 380 feels just fine if not a hair high. Hitting Freeze Breath to setup Canary's attack, his attack, and Green Arrow's attack is satisfying. This Looks Like a Job for Superman requires him to help wounded teammates to really pack a punch, but even at it's base makes for some decent power. Heroic Inspiration leaves his team with a chance to push through in his absence. Fits in a lot of Justice League armies, and makes for a nice inclusion with general bonders like the Avengers/Ms. Marvel.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good! Are you happy with where he's at or did you want to tweak up a tad (a lower roll for Freeze Breath or +1 move are all I could think of there).

[Arkham]

I’m pretty happy with where he’s at. A small tweak that’s maybe worth 10 points would be reasonable, move up to 8 to stay in-line with the baseline of the other versions and Captain Marvel Billy makes sense, but not totally necessary. Wouldn’t change any results.

Don’t want to see him drop from 380, at least not 370 since we already have 2 options there, but I’m fine with continuing as-is and making a tiny tweak if public results come in a hair short.

[IAmBatman]

Sounds good. Pre-yea for public testing as is, then.

[Arch-vile]

Looks good. pre-yea

[Arkham]

I propose a vote to move to Public Playtesting.

[MrNobody]

Yea

[Arkham]

Need 1 vote still.

[Lord Pyre]

Sorry still catching up on a few threads! I really like this guy. Feels very Superman in a neat clean package. Very cool!
