C3G Unit Discussion - SSE S1 ; Part 2

[Ericth74]

Not sure if re-evals are done for weak units or not, but if so I always thought he was a great candidate

[Tornado]

So far I think only Zod and Dredd have been deemed unworthy enough.

Out of curiosity, to try to understand a differing opinion, what about it is good?

I guess that's not fair. The skull doubling makes it stronger than it might be otherwise. I think I actually skimmed over that part when looking at it for my comments. So he's probably about 170ish in value.

[Lord Pyre]

You have a 50% chance of getting 2 skulls. That's not bad. Not to mention you get to do that 5 times in a single turn, AND you could lose a few of those attacks for a hail mary shot at 4 skulls if you want. Lots of options.

It's not game breaking, but it's a solid SA.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

He'd be pretty good with Red Skull II I'd think.

His SA is a gamble, but I think it's still decent. Hes still probably a bit over costed. But certainly not 90 points so.

I've barely ever used him since I hate that Disengage plus Staff Valut mean he just randomly hops around a bit each turn. Tis just silly.

[Arkham]

I like the SA(which is why I re-used the mechanics on D'Vorah). The rest of the card is where it feels a bit eh. 150-160 feels like a more appropriate cost when you compare him to others in the 140-160 point range that would likely be more competitive picks.

As-is, 2/D+ just based on costing really.

[Lord Pyre]

So.... Look at this guy compared to Gambit.

Banshee is solid, flying and a good SA, and the super speed to grab high ground so your opponents can't. Nice figure.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, he's decent. The scream is a nice one though mostly an anti-squad power, which isn't that strong in the meta. His speed is nice, but 4 Life, 5 Defense without any defensive powers doesn't give him much staying power. He's probably best equipped as a second/third wave option in a Mutant army where he can speed up to the front lines when your front line troops have fallen.

3/B-

[IAmBatman]

Oh, I also upgraded my rating of Gambit to C- in the compiled rankings because I wasn't giving his special attack enough credit.

[Xael Raymand]

One of the few Agents with flying.
