[Lord Pyre]

She's been workshopped a bunch of times over the last few months, so Bats and I ran her at the con. We were really happy with how she played. We played the trio, Eve, Invincible, and Omni-Man twice, once against the Outsiders, and once against the DBZ Androids + Falcon. The Invincibles won both games, though mainly because the other team couldn't crack Omni-Man's defense. So we were planning to drop his life and defense to make him play a bit nicer with the others, and adjust Mark and his points to compensate. Eve herself felt perfect and didn't want any changes.

[IAmBatman]

Then I ran her again with the changes to Omni-Man (7 Life/4 Defense) and Invincible (Desperate Attack working on 2 wounds on him) and got these results

Team Test
Map: Conflict Chernobyl
Units: Omni-Man (440), Invincible (360), Atom Eve (200) (1000) vs Fantastic Four (1000)
Unit Summary: There was a pivotal moment where Human Torch whiffed his defense and took 3 wounds. I rerolled it and he took 2 instead and Thing went Clobberin’ Time crazy and the Fan Four won with 1 Life Human Torch and full Life Thing. So then I played it back as Torch whiffing and Omni-Man with 5 Life won. Eve didn’t do much here but she did draw fire away from her allies and her defensive subtraction helped Invincible take out an Order Marker loaded Mister Fantastic.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [0] wounds
• MATTER TRANSMUTATION: Added [2] blocks for Eve and [0] blocks for her allies
• GUARDIANS TEAM UP: Used for [6] activations with Eve
• ATOMIC ALTERATION: Used to subtract [2] defense total from enemies

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Version 1: Human Torch with 1 Life and Thing with Full Life win. Version 2: Omni-Man with 5 Life wins.

Team Test

Units: Omni-Man (440), Invincible (360), Atom Eve (200) (1000) vs Superman (JL) (460), Batman (JL) (230), Wonder Woman (JL) (310) (1000)
Unit Summary: Eve got focused in on and taken out fast in this one. An initiative switch in Round 2 sealed her fate. Superman’s inability to rescue his allies really hurt him here. Superman rolled better than Invincible and Omni in end game, though, and finishes things off.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [2] wounds on [Batman [2]]
• MATTER TRANSMUTATION: Added [3] blocks for Eve and [0] blocks for her allies
• GUARDIANS TEAM UP: Used for [3] activations with Eve
• ATOMIC ALTERATION: Used to subtract [0] defense total from enemies

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Superman with 3 Life wins.

UNIT SUMMARY: She feels good. I think in future builds with Robot and the like she may have less of a target on her head. Here she’s the obvious go-to choice, because you don’t want her adding blocks to the Viltrumites and she’s the easiest to take out (plus it nulls the bonding turn). In other builds with more vulnerable or pivotal synergy pieces, I imagine she’ll have more room to breathe and act in a more offensive role.

Is she not starting with the markers? It's fine either way, just clarifying the intent as the wording currently just establishes the markers and then she must generate them during a round.

Edits.

ATOMIC ALTERATION
An eEnemiesy haves -1 Defense for each of Atom Eve’s Transmutation Markers on its card. If an enemy receives 1+ wounds from an attack, remove all of Atom Eve’s Transmutation Markers from its card.

I also playtested her at Con and felt she was pretty spot on. I love how she turn bonds now. Missed the healing a little, but the bonding was much better. Overall, I think she is pretty perfect for early story Eve.

[Lord Pyre]

Cool, didn't realize anyone else got to try her out

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Really? You sent me her write-up so I could try her! LOL

[Lord Pyre]

Hah I have no memory of this. I also missed an entire day of sleep at the con sooo.....

She doesn't start with the markers, no. She has to generate them to put them on her card/enemy cards.

[Karat]

Cool. Looks like she can pull them from her card or the Ether to put on an enemy. Seems fine to me though.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I feel like she should start with them, unless I read it wrong that creating them and placing them was an either/or decision? If she can generate and place on the same turn, then A) I played her incorrectly, and B) she is much better than I thought! If not, I would suggest she gets to start with some, though bonding now allows her to fill up on by the end of round 1, I suppose.

[IAmBatman]

1. She does not start with them on her card, so if someone read it that way, you read it wrong, sorry
2. She's allowed to place them either on her card or the card of an enemy. That's the extent of the "generation". No extra steps.
3. She's felt really balanced and fun as-is to me.

Sounds like you may have played her incorrectly?
