Re: 2021 C3V Playtest Tournament - Round 2 until 10/4
Just finished with Vegie Dad.
Fun game; Kalagrith got a chance to shine (albeit in a loss).
I spent an early OM to develop Sonlen, which I think was a mistake as it let Vegie Dad charge in quick with 1 Basher + goblins (aided by Valda). I was able to kill the Basher, but not until the turn after he killed Raelin, which was a poor opening trade for me.
I had Kalagrith + greenscales on the hill protecting wanok most of the game after that, and Kalagrith killed a ton of goblins but was never able to kill the 2nd basher. Vegie Dad slowly killed Sonlen and the greenscales and eventually brought down Kalagrith (who had been dancing between the central 4 heights) with attacks from below. Vegie Dad won with 5 goblins, a full life basher, and a 2 life Urk (who did nothing but take a wanok wound).
I think that early Sonlen OM was the biggest mistake I made, since Raelin likely would have lasted most of the game without it.
gg!
Thoughts on testing figures:
Kalagrith - I like Kalagrith's SA a lot; it was fun and challenging to deploy (having to avoid hitting your own units, maximizing # of attacks while protecting the dragon, etc.). The dragon lasted a long time this game, even without Raelin, probably longer than it should have, but attacks of 2 aren't very high to do much damage with and the dragon had height most of the time. With the 7th life though survivability feels good (long, but not overpowering). I thought the figure played well, although I'm not sure where I'd slot it yet on a dragon power ranking list.
Playstyle wise, it feels most similar to Mimring with needing to avoid hitting your own screen with the SA, but definitely different enough to feel unique.
Ziggo - Ziggo hit his first Environment suit to avoid taking 3 wounds from a Kalagrith SA, which let him survive for a lot longer than he would have without it. After that, Ziggo mostly just held a high ground spot until he was used as expendable rabble for the last basher. Taunt wasn't super useful, but that's partly because I was using mostly SAs and didn't have a ton of greenscales for normal attacks.
