We need to slow down the Power Ranger designs so the rest of us can keep up.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Red Ranger

Version tested:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = RED RANGER
SECRET IDENTITY = JASON LEE SCOTT

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RANGER
PERSONALITY = DISCIPLINED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 220

GO GO POWER RANGERS
If no Unique Ranger Heroes in your army have the same name, after revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Red Ranger, you may choose two Unique Ranger Heroes you control to take a turn. Chosen figures must be within 6 clear sight spaces of Red Ranger and you may activate the chosen Heroes in any order. Red Ranger may be one of the chosen Heroes and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

RED POWER SWORD SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
When defending against this special attack figures roll 1 less defense die for each blank rolled and Red Ranger may attack with this special attack one additional time.

COMBAT FLIP 12
After moving normally, attacking, or defending with Red Ranger, he may use Combat Flip. Combat Flip has a move of 2. When moving with Combat Flip, Red Ranger has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 12 levels in a single flip. When using Combat Flip, Red Ranger will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

SUPER STRENGTH

Army Test
Map: City Park
Units: Red Ranger (220), Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Spider-Man (Takuya), Leopardon (1000) VS Frozone, Mister Incredible, Elastigirl (Helen Parr), Violet Parr, Dash Parr and Jack-Jack Parr (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Elastigirl was left with Jack-Jack to take care of.

Leopardon fell quickly to Mister Incredible, which made it hard for the Rangers to take out Mister Incredible who finally fell with Blue Ranger's -1 defense helping. Frozone was able to assassinate Red Ranger after that and Elastigirl and the kids cleaned up the beaten up Rangers.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Elastigirl with 3 wounds, Jack-Jack unwounded, Kids with 1 wound each.

Army Test
Map: City Park
Units: Red Ranger (220), Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Spider-Man (Takuya), Leopardon (1000) VS Captain America (Steve), Spider-Man (Avengers), Iron Man (Avengers), Spider-Ham and Howard the Duck (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

I thought Spider-Ham was never going to die since his Nonsense rolls just kept suceeding, but the Rangers were able to take this one after getting rid of Spider-Man early enough to limit the Avenger's efficiency.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Leopardon with 5 wounds, Blue Ranger with 3 wounds and Red Ranger with 2 wounds

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Feels pretty solid as is, they struggled a bit taking down Mister Incredible so he wrecked them. I think Blue Ranger is solid with just -1 defense too.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good.

[Lord Pyre]

(Just so you know the version tested is just your whole playtest again rather than the SP!)

Looking good though, excited to see these guys coming together. Not that we need anymore since that's a perfect 1000 point army already and a Spider-Man is necessary.

???

[Lord Pyre]

Quick on the draw there.

[Dr. Jekyll]

Appreciate the playtests @tcglkn , thanks!

With a record of 5W/2L, I'll wait for another set of playtests for him with the Blue Ranger's defense reduction of -1.

[IAmBatman]

Makes sense.

These Rangers were very enjoyable to play with, really hit me in the nostalgic feels. I couldn't resist going "Hiyah" every time a Ranger made an attack.
I feel that the abilities of the Red Ranger help give him that leader feel and when used with Ranger Analysist ability, you can really cut down some high defense figures but not at a overpowering extent. Think the point value is fair for Red.
Both matches were pretty close, I think the last match could have went very differently if my playing partner was more familiar with the game and characters.
Very elusive and pair extremely well with each other, I cannot wait for the rest of the team to be filled and if the ability text hints are true ...Dinozords as well
Side note. I know I didn't test the figures but I feel Blue Ranger could be bumped a bit points wise, maybe 190 and maybe make Reactive Shot brought down one or two numbers for a success roll. My opinion at least, there were probably other factors seen during their testing but maybe take a look at them when the full team is ready to go?

[Dr. Jekyll]

Two more wins here. Looks like the first game was pretty close while the second, not so much. I agree that the second game could have probably been a lot closer had his opponent known the team a little better.

Red Ranger seems to be performing well. I think I wanna bring up Blue Ranger's points to 190 though, still keep the -1 defense instead of the -2. I just feel like he's worth more with the synergy now.

Should be able to get plenty more tests out of Red, as well as, Blue with the next coming Rangers. I don't think anything needs to change power-wise.
I propose we move to Final Editing.

[IAmBatman]

Sounds good. Agreed with not changing the power set here at all. yea
