to the twofer.

I am confidant that the pair can be tweaked as necessary to keep the cost in a desirable range. Yea for testing.

[johnny139]

Yeah, that makes sense to me as well. Yea

[Karat]

Yea

[Ronin]

This passes

I'll let johnny roll Scott and Barda out once Barda passes.

[MrNobody]

@johnny139 @Ronin
Anything you want to see here? I did them + Cap & Bucky in game 1, but I'm a bit lost on what to do with the second game.

[Ronin]

Don't think there was anything I was particularly after on my end. Maybe go big and try a JL thing?

[johnny139]

Yeah, looks like I'm the only one with a JL build so far (and not a particularly intricate one), so maybe go for that. Like Miracle/Barda + Superman/Martian Manhunter + another Champion or two?

[Scapemage]

I would also recommend Justice League build, especially since they are going to be released in a Justice League booster.

[MrNobody]

Here you go! Hope that JL build was big enough.

This was a total turnabout. It looked for sure like Team 1 had it, but you jut can’t keep a good Slasher down. There was some really funky luck in this game, and Scott whiffing his Defying Death roll cost him big time.

In pretty much the opposite of last game, Mr. M pulled off a ton of Death Defies, keeping him alive for a really long time. Miss M tried to kite them, but the stats just weren’t in her favor.

___________________________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: They feel pretty balanced. Scott literally lives or dies on the D20, so it might make sense to try him with some D20 boosters. But I don’t think he’s any crazier than Spider-Man who costs 30 points less. He’s also pretty good at holding onto Glyphs. Barda is tough and offers a surprising amount of strategy with her figure switching, but she’s nothing game-breaking. Her Rod SA is very powerful, but not a huge amount stronger than her normal attack.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Really feeling these designs! They act just like the characters should. Like I said, Scott feels a lot like Spider-Man; hard to pin down and bouncing all over the place. Barda has just enough tricks to be more than just a beatstick and that makes her a ton of fun. Really excited for the potential of using the Grappling power to tie together the Furies, and just to see these characters in C3G.

[IAmBatman]

D20 boosters being good for Scott is cool, because it makes the JLA Batman connection work well.

[MrNobody]

Ooh a Constantine/Bats III build seems like a must-test now that you mention it.
