Project Pokemon Playtesting Thread: Kangaskhan and Bulbasaur

[Kroz]

I did playtests as an ally. You can too.

[NightSwipe]

Bulbasaur Playtest: I will edit this post as I finish battles.

All battles held on Lost Scenario: Utgar's Invasion at Feldspar Pass.

Hero Tests:

Spoiler Alert!

Hero Test 1: Bulbasaur vs. Me-Burq-Sa Winner: Me-Burq-Sa, no wounds.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative, moves into the swamp. Me-Burq-Sa moves forward. Paralyzing Stare fails, but MBS manages to give Bulbasaur 2 wounds. Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip, but both attacks fail. MBS succeeds in Paralyzing Stare, and gives Bulbasaur another wound for the win.

Hero Test 2: Bulbasaur vs. Air Elemental Winner: Air Elemental
Winner of Second Battle: Bulbasaur, 1 life left.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative, moves forward. Air Elemental moves forward as well. Bulbasaur moves closer and uses Vine Whip; dealing no wounds. Air Elemental gains height, and rolls 4 skulls. Bulbasaur blanks.

Seeing as that was luck on the AE's part, I ran it again.
Part 2:
Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative. He moves forward, and the AE does the same. Bulbasaur has a chance to use Vine Whip, but he blanks on both attempts. AE engages, gives Bulbasaur 2 wounds. Bulbasaur uses his normal attack, killing the Air Elemental.

Hero Test 3: Bulbasaur vs. Theracus Winner: Bulbasaur, no wounds taken.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative. Theracus engages and attacks, but Bulbasaur blocks. Bulbasaur retaliates, dealing 2 wounds to Theracus. Theracus attacks, but is blocked. Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip, and Theracus is killed on the first attack.

Squad Tests:

Spoiler Alert!

Squad Test 1: Bulbasaur vs. Marro Dividers Winner: Dividers, 2/3 members alive

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative. Both Bulba and the Dividers move forward. Bulbasaur is within range to Vine Whip a Divider, but both attacks miss. The Dividers approach, one getting adjacent to Bulbasaur. The Divider's attack misses, however. Bulbasaur moves away from the other Dividers while staying engaged with the Divider that attacked. Bulbasaur attacks and kills the Divider it was engaged to. The other dividers engage Bulbasaur, but neither of them can wound him.
Round 2: Dividers win Initiative. Their attacks give Bulbasaur 2 wounds. Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip, but it fails. The Dividers attack and destroy Bulbasaur on their next turn.

Squad Test 2: Bulbasaur vs. the Fyorlag Spiders Winner: Spiders, 1/3 members remaining.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative and moves forward. The spiders follow suit. Bulbasaur moves forward again and unleashes a Vine Whip on two of the spiders, killing 1. The other 2 engage Bulbasaur and attack, dealing a wound. Bulbasaur tries to leave engagement with one of the spiders, and takes a wound upon disengagement. He uses a normal attack against the spider he is still adjacent to, killing it. The last spider rushes Bulbasaur, and attacks, killing him.

Squad Test 3: Bulbasaur vs. Venoc Vipers Winner: Venoc Vipers, 1/3 members remaining.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur wins Initiative. He moves forward, as do the VV. Frenzy kicks in, and all 3 VV get adjacent, dealing him 1 wound. Frenzy fails. Bulbasaur Vine Whips the vipers that are on even ground and lower ground than himself, killing the one on lower ground. The Vipers attack, but are blocked, and Frenzy fails. Bulbasaur tries Vine Whip on the remaining two vipers, killing the one on even ground. The lone viper gives Bulbasaur 1 wound, Frenzies, then kills him.

Army Tests:

Spoiler Alert!

Army Test 1: 2x Marro Stingers, Bulbasaur, Greater Ice Elemental vs. Warden 816, Major Q10, Zetacron Winners: Bulbasaur's Army, with Bulbasaur (no wounds) and 5/6 Stingers left.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Bulbasaur's Army wins Initiative. Greater Ice Elemental moves ahead first. Q10 moves forward and Wrist Rockets, giving the GIE 3 wounds. Bulbasaur moves adjacent to the GIE. Zetacron moves forward and attacks the GIE, killing it. The Stingers move ahead, and 1 attacks Q10, but doesn't do any damage. The Warden moves forward and targets a Stinger, but the attack misses.

Round 2: The Warden's army wins initiative, and Zetacron targets Bulbasaur, but deals no damage. Bulbasaur attacks the Warden with Vine Whip, giving him a wound. Q10 moves closer, and Machine Pistols the 3 Stingers and Bulbasaur. He kills a Stinger. The Stingers move ahead and roll for Stinger Drain, but nothing happens. They attack and destroy the Warden, and give Q10 2 wounds. Zetacron targets Bulbasaur, but he blanks. The Stingers move up again, and Stinger Drain works. They give a wound to Zetacron.

Round 3: Bulbasaur's Army wins Initiative. The Stingers hold their position and Stinger Drain works again. They destroy Q10. Zetacron kills a Stinger. The Stingers attack and kill Zetacron.

Army Test 2: 3x Warriors of Ashra, Bulbasaur, Syvarris vs. 2x Deathstalkers, KMA Winner: Syvarris, 1 life left

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: KMA's Army wins initiative. The KMA spread out. Bulbasaur moves ahead. The KMA move forward again, and 2 of them fire upon the Ashra; 1 Ashra falls. The Ashra move out, toward the KMA. The Deathstalkers move out. Syvarris moves out, and targets 2 Deathstalkers. He kills one of them.
Round 2: The KMA win initiative again, and move back slightly, while staying within range to fire on the Ashra. The Ashra block all attacks, however. The Ashra move ahead, but their attacks fail to do anything. The Deathstalkers charge ahead. 2 of them manage to engage an Ashra, but their attacks fail to do anything. Bulbasaur moves up to height and Vine Whips a KMA and a Deathstalker. Both attacks fail. A Deathstalker charges forward, engaging another Ashra. The Ashra blanks, and goes down. The Ashra that was engaged with 2 Deathstalkers blocks both attacks. Syvarris moves to height, and fires upon 2 Deathstalkers, killing 1.
Round 3: Bulbasaur chooses to use Leech Seed on a nearby KMA. The KMA win Initiative. They move further back, but within firing range. They give Syvarris 2 wounds and kill an Ashra. Bulbasaur moves forward a space and targets a Deathstalker with Vine Whip, but it blocks both attacks. 2 Deathstalkers charge ahead. A Deathstalker already engaged with an Ashra attacks but is blocked. An Ashra moves to assist a fellow Ashra under pressure from 2 Deathstalkers. 1 Deathstalker falls. The remaining Deathstalkers move forward and attack the Ashra. 2 Ashra fall. 1 Ashra attacks a Deathstalker, killing it. Bulbasaur's Leech Seed takes effect, killing a KMA and healing one of Syvarris's wounds.
"Halftime": Bulbasaur, Syvarris (3 life left), 4 Ashra vs. 2 Deathstalkers, 2 KMA.
Round 4: The KMA win Initiative. The Deathstalkers attack Bulbasaur and Syvarris, giving Syvarris 2 wounds. Syvarris gets more height while staying engaged, and attacks a Deathstalker, killing it. The KMA move ahead again, targeting 2 Ashra, which they successfully destroy. Bulbasaur uses a normal attack on an adjacent Deathstalker, but it blocks the attack. The KMA move closer to the battlefield, attacking Bulbasaur and an Ashra. The Ashra falls, while Bulbasaur escapes unscathed.
1 Ashra, Syvarris with 1 life left, and an unharmed Bulbasaur vs. 1 Deathstalker and 2 KMA.
Round 5: The KMA's Army win Initiative (again?!) and the last Deathstalker moves adjacent to Syvarris, but his attack doesn't do any damage. Bulbasaur gives up height to use Vine Whip on both the Deathstalker and a KMA, but both of the attacks fail. The KMA move closer to the action, targeting Bulbasaur, giving him 1 wound. The last Ashra move adjacent to the last Deathstalker, and in a lucky attack, the last Deathstalker falls. The KMA hold their ground, targeting the last Asra and Bulbasaur. Both Bulbasaur and the last Ashra fall. Syvarris gets height and fires at the KMA (Thank goodness for 9 Range!) 1 KMA falls, the other Stealth Dodges out of the way.
Round 6: Syvarris with 1 life left vs. 1 KMA
Syvarris's Army wins Initiative (finally!). He takes steady aim... strings his bow... and... blanks. Both times. :/ The KMA is still in range, so she fires, but it is blocked. Syvarris moves back so he can fire on the KMA, but the KMA can't fire on him unless the KMA moves. The first arrow hits its target, and that's (a very lengthy) game.

Final thoughts coming later today, or some other time. Sorry, but I'm tired.

[White Knight]

I know it's early to post, but I did a few quick playtests with Dratini. Here is the summary:

Dratini versus 10th Regiment
Dratini won the first battle
10th won the 2nd battle

Dratini versus Zettian Guards
Dratini won 1st battle

[White Knight]

Did some more quick playtests of Dratini:

Dratini versus Atlaga
Atlaga won 4 out of 5.
3 of those wins were Bolt of the Witherwood (Atlaga was rolling really well).

Dratini versus Thorgrimm
Split 1-1. Thorgrimm won the first battle. Dratini won the second.

Dratini versus the Feral Troll
The Feral Troll mopped up Dratini both times.

Dratini versus Erevan Sunshadow
Erevan won the first battle. Dratini won the second.

Hopefully we'll get some more Bulbasaur and Kangaskhan playtests soon!

I would still suggest dropping Charizard's defense to 4 because most squads can't even break through his defense of five. Also, looking at the dragons in Heroscape, Charos has 5 att/def, but doesn't have a squad killing move. Braxas has a squad killing move, but only has 3 defense. Anyways, these are just my thoughts while testing out Charizard.

Thanks for doing these playtests! This is exactly the type of squad killing power we had in mind when we designed Charizard!

One question: What map were you using for the Charizard playtests? It seems like Charizard was able to attack on the first turn of the first round--pretty much in the enemy's start zone. On a bigger map, the Knights of Westin and 4th Mass should have spread out so that Charizard could not kill all of them at once. Maybe try 4th Mass with some Deathreavers to tie up Charizard and gain some protection.

I'm not surprised Q9 did so well. Charizard, for all his power, can only attack any specific figure once per round (as opposed to Q9 which can attack Charizard with 3 attacks of 3).

Dropping Charizard's defense to 4 sounds reasonable. When I get a chance, I'll playtest him with both 4 and 5 defense.

Any thoughts on Kangaskhan?

Found it. I didn't use any of the glyphs though.

Spoiler Alert!

I did most of the battles on the map Fissure. I realized when I did the knights that Charizard destroys squads, and he was able to get in the knights starting zone on the second turn, but was within range of 7 of them on the first turn. I didn't know whether we would be counting that playtest, so I did three more squad playtests. The 4th Mass. tried to spread out, but that is hard to do when trying to get Wait then Fire. Once they were in range of Charizard, he essentially wiped them out. The drow playtest was done with very careful movement, only a maximum of three were in Charizard's range at any given time (except the fourth one that got attacked by one skull and died, I didn't realize the last one was within range until I was making the attack with Charizard.) .

The first 6 battles were on about four 24 hexes with 2 7 hexes for height, but the rest were on the map Fissure. That map has a lot of elevation, so it does favor Charizard as he can fly.

Kangaskhan seems very well done, but I don't think most people would use Dizzy Punch rather than a normal attack, especially when you can gain height for an attack of five. Rolling a 17 just isn't very likely. I would change the attack of Dizzy Punch to 4, or lower the number to be rolled for it to take effect.

[Sotalk]

I'm new to heroscapers. Is there anyone I can playtest to help.

[Sotalk]

maybe like Blastoise or Venasaur.

This project is in limbo, but White Knight finished off the first 151 Pokemon. I'm sure he would appreciate any testing you would like to do. Scroll up a few posts and you'll find a link in his signature for Kanto Pokemon.

I'm still keeping up with Pokescape, and I'd love to hear any results from playtesting.

You can find the Pokemon (including Blastoise and Venusaur) designed by Project Pokemon that still need playtesting here:

Project Pokemon Playtest Thread

You can test any of the Pokemon you want and post the results in this thread.

[Sotalk]

For playtesting EX: a 150 pointer against a 150 pointer or just around the PT pokemon.
