Main deciding point for me still is if we want to give them something offensive to do on their turns? Or just treat them as pesky passive pieces.

I guess also, I've tied their respawn to having a "main character" around, IE a Unique Hero. With the 1.0 version, I often found their respawn frustratingly unbeatable in the endgame. Are we cool with that change? I worry it could hurt builds where you bring them just with Shredder, since he's not the toughest cookie. But he also has all that recruitment now to help with that.

d20 probably needs upping in practice. 14 could be cool, to match the Turtles.

[IAmBatman]

Only question is if we go up to 14+ do we think 150 points will hold or will they need some other juice to get them there?

I don't mind them being more passive/normal attackers. Maybe an attack of 4 if they are "elite" though and we want their points to hold with a significant nerf to their resurrection?

[japes]

If it works out I'd like the make them a bit more attacking and go with the 14+ roll since they should get more opportunities with the OM on the Hero triggering the roll.

[MrNobody]

Yeah, tbc I think their ressurection here is a pretty straight buff from the 1.0 version. (Which it’s my fault for not linking in the OP.) So a higher roll makes sense.

Do we think 4 Attack is enough to make you want to take turns with them? 4 attacks of 4 isn’t bad, they’ll just fall fast.

I think giving them a reason to have an OM also sells the connection when the Clan Ninja are drafted with them and Shredder.

4 attack works for me. 14+ feels high for the resurrection power. I personally think 12 should be the max, its theirmany power. It should be hitting often. No need to match the Turtles in my opinion.

[japes]

I agree shouldn't move it just to match turtles. So we can hone in on what that number needs to be during testing.

[MrNobody]

Updated with 4 Attack and an 11+ roll on the respawn. I figure we can tweak from there.

Let’s go to Initial.
