The Book of Shadowcat (AoA)

[Arkham]

Good catch. I’ll make sure he’s aware of that. At least he didn’t seem to manage to get more than one figure wounded with it at a time, but the more attempts I’m sure helped skew it into her favor more than it should have.

Gamora and Nebula were first to engage Colossus but unable to inflict damage. Wolverine attacks Gamora but was blocked and wounded with her Honed Reflexes, fortunately this triggered Wolverines Berserker Rage to attack Gamora again and healing after. Shadowcat uses her Ghost Assasin to harm Gamora and attack but blocked by Honed Reflexes. Starlord uses Distracting Fire giving Nebula a chance to re engage Colossus.

Colossus deals a heavy blow on Nebula, Wolverine leaves engagement from Gamora to attempt an attack on Nebula. Gamora re engages and attacks Wolverine. Nebula continues her attacks on Colossus which he retaliates by punching her out of existence. Shadowcat walks through Starlord and attempts an attack. Colossus and Wolverine team up on Gamora. Nightcrawler bamfs Gamora out of engagement.

Shadowcat walks through Starlord again while Colossus lays a beatdown on Starlord taking him out of the game. Gamora engages Wolverine and destroys him. Shadowcat phases through Nightcrawler and attempts an attack on him unfortunately Nightcrawler bamfed out of the fight to engage Professor X. Colossus ends the round by beating down Gamora.

In the final round Nightcrawler attacks Professor X and continues to be elusive teleporting after every block. Colossus finally catches up to him and wins the game.

Ghost Assassin

Adamantium Claws

Reactionary Phasing
Used a lot to great effect.

Cable is the first to engage in the fight attacking Cyclops, Cyclops retaliates with Optic destruction dealing damage to Angel and Cable. Gambit gets teleported with Nightcrawler and then attacks Cable. Cable attacks Gambit who retreats with Nightcrawler.

Domino engages Cyclops, Nightcrawler then ports Blob to engage with Domino. Sage attempts to attack Shadowcat who phases through the attack. Domino ends up destroying Cyclops as Shadowcat phases through Cable and attacks Angel. Cable attempts two attacks on Shadowcat who phases through both attacks. Domino continues her kill streak by slaying Nightcrawler then sets her sights on Blob. Cable attempts another two shots on Shadowcat who again phases through his shots.

Shadowcat continues to phase through Cables attacks while Blob continues to block Dominos attacks. Shadowcat phases through Cable which ends up bringing Cable down. Sage and Shadowcat start to exchange blows with one another. Angel joins in the fight against Shadowcat who phases through attacks. Gambit rushes in to aid Shadowcat and takes out Angel.

Shadowcat begins the next round targetting Domino, they both exchange blows with one another, blocking at every turn. Sage removes Gambit from battle and attempts multiple attacks on Shadowcat who phases through them with ease.

Shadowcat phases through Domino bringing an end to her constant attempts on Blob. Sage continues to attack Shadowcat unsuccessfully until Professor X joins the fight to finally take out the elusive Shadowcat. Blob engages Sage and after a few attempts takes her down.

The final couple rounds were primarily Professor X and Blob exchanging blows with one another until Blob came out the victor.


Winning Team
Blob 1/6 Life Remaining

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
Not one to lay heavy damage but is still useful to phase through opponents to deal unblockable damage which is what was needed to take down a couple figures in these tests. Super elusive, mostly because of lucky rolls, but will prove to be a problem if not taken out of combat. All in all a real enjoyable character to play. Definitely useful teamed up with fellow mutants.

Still feeling good here.

Ok, so after looking things over, here's where we're at:

@175 4-3
Very close loss. (1 life)
Very close win. (1 life)

Close loss.

Close-Medium win.

Medium loss.
Medium win.
Medium win.

I think we're probably good at 175. However, looking at hitting the right point values for the faction overall for optimal army building and to give our index a little more diversity, I like Shadowcat at 185 instead of 175, and then Colossus at 315 instead of 325.

We don't have as many 185 as we do 175, and we don't have anyone at all at 315. It also further separates Shadowcat from Shadowcat (II), who is at 170.

I propose a vote to move to Final Editing @ 185. , and subsequently change Colossus to 315(now that he's back down to 2 defense), but I'll do that in his thread.

[tcglkn]

Yea, support both of those changes.

[Yodaking]

yea

[Arch-vile]

Yea to both.

[japes]

yea to both

[Arkham]

This passes.

Cards are up. I'll call for a vote to On Deck in a few hours.

[Lord Pyre]

Fine by me Pre-yea to On-Deck

[tcglkn]

My favorite part is the bunny in the comic art.

Pre-Yea, everything looks good here.

[Arkham]

I propose a vote to move to On Deck.
