I figured out that the first synergies section is Outgoing Synergy, so he wouldn't have anything listed as all his boosts are general use and not limited to a class/faction/personality/etc. Then the second section just lists all the tags that are called out by other cards, which at some point will be linked to a post containing all Incoming Synergy for those tags. I haven't been listing the Publisher or Symbols so far as they seem either really minor (Publisher) or everywhere (Flying/SS).

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

would a Lantern keyword make sense from a White Lantern Guardians build standpoint?

 

[MrNobody]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

A Lantern keyword could be cool.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

Yeah, a keyword like that would be cool. Probably worth talking through if Lantern is the optimal keyword for it. Don't some ringbearers go by different names than "X Lantern"?

 

[MrNobody]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

I think even if they call themselves something else (like the Star Sapphires) they’re still “classified” as Lanterns? Ringbearer would also be cool though.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

I do like Ringbearer. Do they all actually use rings? I know there are some weirdo "special" types that came into play post-Blackest Night (which is where most of my knowledge would come from).

I guess a downside is it gets sticky if we ever do Lord of the Rings.

 

[Arch-vile]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

I would go Lantern if we’re making a keyword. Not all the lanterns use rings, even in the pre-Blackest Night days (like Ion). But all are generally part of a Lantern Corps or call themselves X Lantern. Lantern is also an in-universe term so it just sounds nicer to me too.

That's the type of info I was looking for. Lantern sounds good then.

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Design

OK, just because there are a few changes here, I'd like to do some light testing, after which if things look good, I'll probably be happy to move right to final editing.

So I propose we move this to initial playtesting.

Army Test
Map: DARK DIMENSION
Units: Green Lantern (Hal) (JL) (300), Green Lantern (Kilowog) (310), Wonder Woman (JL) (310), Green Lantern (John) (JL) (280) (1200) vs Thor (430), She-Hulk (Avengers) (370), Wasp (Avengers) (160), Captain America (I) (240) (1200)
Unit Summary: Kilowog was targeted and picked off before Hal really got rolling. Thor’s combat dice were hot in end game and Hal couldn’t hit Indomitable Will to stick it out. Big stats on either side, but the Avengers had better turn efficiency. Hal had solid offensive output but couldn’t make up for losing his allies too quickly.

Spoiler Alert!

Game Summary: Kilowog spends two turns burning markers, then John snipes an advancing She-Hulk from the start zone for 3 quick wounds. Wonder Woman uses a JL Marker. John snipes She-Hulk for a fourth wound. Thor’s hammer hits Kilowog for two wounds from range. She-Hulk hits him for a third with her leap. She-Hulk would punch Kilowog out, but John saves him at one life. Hal engages Thor on height but rolls badly and can’t hit. Thor punches out Kilowog. She-Hulk leaps into John for a wound and then punches him for two more. Hal hits She-Hulk for a fifth wound from height. Thor punches out John and She-Hulk pummels Wonder Woman for a quick four wounds. Ouch. Wonder Woman sheds a JL Marker. Hal KO’s She-Hulk from height. Thor KO’s Wonder Woman. Hal engages Thor and hits him for two wounds thanks in parts to a defensive whiff. Thor fails God of Thunder Strike. Hal hits Thor for two more wounds. Thor rolls 6 skulls and one-shots Hal.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [7] wounds on [She-Hulk [3] Thor [4]]
• GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT: Won initiative [3] times; subtracted stats [5] turns
• GREEN JET BOOST: Allies used his special move [0] times
• AIR RAID SA: Was not used.
• INDOMITABLE WILL: Rolled [0] for [1]

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Wasp with Full Life, Captain America with Full Life, and Thor with 4/8 Life win.

Army Test
Map: GREEN LANTERN MOGO
Units: Green Lantern (Hal) (JL) (300), Green Lantern (Kilowog) (310), Wonder Woman (JL) (310), Hawkwoman (260), Green Construct Shield (20) (1200) vs Drax (II) (350), Gamora (II) (300), Groot (Baby) (105), Rocket Raccoon (II) (195), Star-Lord (250) (1200)
Unit Summary: Played with Hawkwoman as a Warrior in this one so she wouldn’t disrupt the testing too much. Hal did a solid job on offense but was a target since he had the largest attack and failed his only Indomitable Will roll. Hawkwoman and Wonder Woman eeked it out in end game.

Spoiler Alert!

Game Summary: Wonder Woman and Kilowog use markers right away in round one and Kilowog sets up a defensive position with the Shield Construct. Hawkwoman advances to his position. Guardians take a hill near their start zone, podding up. Wonder Woman uses another JL Marker. Hal moves into position with Kilowog on height and one-shots Baby Groot (his only target). Rocket advances and shoots Hal for one wound and destroys the Shield Construct. Hawkwoman attacks Rocket, who blocks and drops a bomb. Rocket shoots Hal for a second wound. Drax advances. Gamora uses her Flanking to engage Hawkwoman. Hal hits Rocket for two wounds from height. Wonder Woman uses her last marker. Guardians get initiative. Rocket shoots Kilowog for a wound from height disadvantage. Star-Lord advances and with Gamora flank Hawkwoman for a wound. Hal advances, Drax engages him, and Hal uses his special attack, getting a total of 3 skulls against the full enemy team. Rocket takes a wound and drops a second bomb. Star-Lord takes three wounds, Gamora blocks and moves, and Drax takes one wound. Rocket advances and blows up his bombs, wounding Kilowog and KO’ing Hal. Rocket can’t hit Kilowog, but Drax engages him and KO’s him. Hawkwoman hits Star-Lord for one wound from height and recharges Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman uses her last marker again. Hawkwoman finishes Star-Lord and recharges her. Rocket is killed when he tries to attack Hawkwoman. Drax engages Hawkwoman. Rather than attacking three times, he has Gamora use her flanking and both unblockables hit Hawkwoman for two wounds. Hawkwoman takes a swipe, then KO’s a whiffing Drax. Hawkwoman strikes Gamora for two wounds. Gamora takes height and KO’s Hawkwoman. Wonder Woman faces Gamora in end game and uses her last JL Marker. Gamora is lassoed to height disadvantage during movement and can’t hit Wonder Woman. Wondy takes a wound from Honed Reflexes. Next round, Wondy has no bonus and Gamora punches her for a wound, then wounds her with Honed Reflexes, then punches her for two wounds. Wondy hits back for three wounds. Gamora can’t finish it with an attack, and then finally falls.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [5] wounds on [Groot [3], Rocket [2]]
• GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT: Won initiative [1] times; subtracted stats [X] turns
• GREEN JET BOOST: Allies used his special move [0] times
• AIR RAID SA: Inflicted [1] wounds on [Rocket [1], Star-Lord [3], Drax [1]]
• INDOMITABLE WILL: Rolled [0] for [1]

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Wonder Woman with 1/6 Life wins.

Army Test
Map: SACRED SHRINE
Units: Green Lantern (Hal) (JL) (300), Green Lantern (Kilowog) (310), Doctor Fate (390) (1000) vs Fantastic Four (1000)
Unit Summary: Hal was able to rack up 4 wounds quickly on Reed and could’ve torn through the Fan Four with a bit more luck, but instead Thing went on a Clobberin’ Time rampage. Despite the big margin of victory, it felt like if a few rolls had gone the other way, this would’ve easily swung for the Justice League.

Spoiler Alert!

Game Summary: Fate starts with an 8, but steals a 17 from the Fan Four initiative roll. Fate advances first, getting an extra space thanks to Hal’s Jet Boost. Kilowog burns his markers per usual in this round and sets up near Fate for future wound transfers. Torch and Reed both fail attacks on Fate from height disadvantage. Fate secures initiative by taking back an 8. Hal engages Reed and punches him for a quick four wounds. Fate steals a 20 from Mister Fantastic, giving him the 8. Human Torch avoids a swipe but then misses his Flame On Roll against Hal. He hits Fate for a wound. Mister Fantastic can’t hit Hal from range. Hal fails to finish Reed. Thing goes full Clobberin’ Time on Hal. Hal blocks 5 hits, then would fall to 9 hits, but Fate ensures he hits his Indomitable Will roll. Fate takes back a 6. Reed punches Fate for a wound. Fate fails to finish Reed from height. Thing Clobbers Hal again and this time Hal can’t hit his Indomitable roll and Fate can’t help. Reed can’t hit Fate. Fate can’t finish Reed next round but he makes sure to kill Reed’s leadership roll. Kilowog smacks Human Torch for three wounds. Torch takes a swipe but Flames On Kilowog and Fate for two wounds each. He attacks, rolls all skulls, and finishes Fate from height disadvantage. Fate was poised to swap some wounds around on his turn. Thing goes full Clobberin’ from height on Kilowog and finishes things.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [4] wounds on [Mister Fantastic [4]]
• GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT: Won initiative [2] times; subtracted stats [3] turns
• GREEN JET BOOST: Allies used his special move [1] times
• AIR RAID SA: Inflicted [0] wounds.
• INDOMITABLE WILL: Rolled [1] for [2]

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Thing with Full Life, Invisible Woman with Full Life, Reed with 1/5 Life, and Human Torch with 1/5 Life win.

___________________________________________________________​

UNIT SUMMARY: Green Jet Boost rarely came into play because he was paired with all fliers. I suppose JL Batman appreciates his having it and Fate at least likes the extra space of movement to try to establish position early. The main goal here was to test how he felt with Kilowog. He was definitely a nasty customer, but big attacks could take him down and as long as Kilowog was in striking distance, he could be dealt with. I’d consider putting some distance restriction on Kilowog in 2.0 to make sure his bonus stays killable, but I don’t think the combo with JL Hal is problematic.

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Final Edit

Should the first power do the whole -1 Attack / -1 Defense thing?

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (Justice League) - Final Edit

GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT
If you win initiative, for the remainder of the round, figures engaged with Green Lantern are -1 Attack/Defense.

Like so?
