Team Test

Map: DARK DIMENSION

Units: Iron Man (270), Captain America (240), Doctor Strange (320), Hawkeye (170) (1000) vs King Ghidorah (1000)

Unit Summary: Rescue Mission plus Cap’s bonus made Hawkeye feel pretty strong for the cost. The Avengers had better dice here and just got wounds on Ghidorah too fast for him to counter.

Game Summary

Spoiler Alert!

Initiative Avengers. Cap and Ghidorah each advance. Iron Man advances with Doctor Strange. Ghidorah advances and hits Cap and Iron Man with Winged Lightning Bolts but can’t hit Iron Man with Gravity Beams. Iron Man has Cap engages Ghidorah and punches up on him for 2 wounds. Hawkeye moves forward and attacks Ghidorah from height disadvantage, 7 spaces out, but using Rescue Mission and Cap’s boost to roll 6 dice. He hits Ghidorah for 2 wounds and Cap gets the stealth move from Rescue Mission to back up. Ghidorah double attacks Iron Man from height disadvantage and takes him out, then hits Doctor Strange for a wound.

Initiative Avengers thanks to a Doctor Strange reroll that also places Hawkeye and Cap next to him and heals Cap one wound. Cap punches down on Ghidorah for 3 wounds, taking off a head. Ghidorah gets 1 hit on Gravity Beams against all enemies, making it worthless, then puts a wound on each enemy with Winged Lightning Bolts. Hawkeye chooses the defensive subtraction option on Trick Arrows and rolls *all skulls* on 6 dice (Rescue Mission + Cap) and puts 5 wounds on Ghidorah. Cap backs up away from Ghidorah. Ghidorah double attacks Hawkeye for 2 wounds. Doctor Strange finishes Ghidorah.

Team Test

Map: CONFLICT CHERNOBYL

Units: Hawkeye (170), Black Widow (230), Nick Fury (220), SHIELD Troopers (x2) (220), Banshee (160) (1000) vs HYDRA 1 (Baron von Strucker, Red Skull, Crossbones, Madame HYDRA, HYDRA Agents x3) (1000)

Unit Summary: Hawkeye was part of the Drop Team here so his Rescue Mission aspect didn’t come into play as they attacked early and managed to take out Red Skull and some HYDRA Troopers before falling.

Game Summary

Spoiler Alert!

Red Skull chooses Crossbones as his servant. Hawkeye and a unit of SHIELD Troopers are the Drop Team. Strucker and Madame HYDRA were ripping through SHIELD Agents in the mid game in response, but then Widow went boss level in clean up and tore through Strucker, Crossbones, Madame HYDRA, and several troopers to pull off the upset.

The Drop Team drops. Initiative SHIELD. Troopers hit Red Skull for 3 wounds with a Killbox. Hawkeye uses the -2 Defense on Red Skull but only manages 1 wound and Red Skull somehow survives to activate Crossbones, who can only take out 1 SHIELD Trooper with a double attack. Red Skull moves forward and takes out the other 2 SHIELD Troopers from the Drop Team. Fury has the backup Troopers advance and Hawkeye double attacks from height and takes out Red Skull and a HYDRA Trooper. Baron von Strucker puts a Death Spore wound on Hawkeye, then three HYDRA Troopers attack Hawkeye, but they can only get a second wound on him. SHIELD Agents advance. Only one gets in range to attack and fails to hit Strucker. Hawkeye grapples back to disengage and double attacks HYDRA Troopers but can only hit 1. Madame HYDRA can’t hit Hawkeye but the HYDRA Troopers just manage to finish him off.

Initiative HYDRA. Strucker has Crossbones and three Troopers advance thanks to his Intelligence Network. Strucker’s Death Spores take out the three remaining SHIELD Troopers, then his HYDRA Troopers advance behind him. Banshee and Fury advance. Banshee takes to the middle of the map and screams, hitting a HYDRA Trooper who’s behind a tree and Crossbones, who takes out an adjacent Trooper so he only takes 1 wound. Fury can’t get into attack range. Madame HYDRA hits Banshee with her venom for 2 wounds. HYDRA Troopers fire at Banshee, and he rolls poorly on defense and falls. Fury advances and shoots Madame HYDRA for 2 wounds. Black Widow advances but can’t get into range. Strucker makes Fury eat a Death Spore. HYDRA Troopers take out Fury but can’t hit Widow. She moves to height and double attacks, taking out 2 Troopers.

Initiative Widow. She zaps Madame HYDRA for 1 wound and takes her OM2. Then fails to hit Strucker before retreating to height. Strucker hits Widow for 1 wound with Satan’s Claw, then the HYDRA Troopers attack her three times for 1 more wound. Widow can’t hit Strucker with a double attack. OM2 is gone for HYDRA. Widow hits Strucker for 3 wounds and zaps the X off of him. Crossbones advances and snipes Widow for a third wound.

Initiative Widow. She takes out Strucker, who had OM1 and hits Crossbones for 2 wounds but fails to zap him. Widow finishes Crossbones, who had OM2. and one of the remaining HYDRA Troopers. Widow takes out the second to last HYDRA Trooper and Madame HYDRA. The last HYDRA Trooper whiffs an attack from height.

Initiative HYDRA. The last Trooper gets a 1 hit attack from height that Widow blocks and then she strolls over and takes it out.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted [4] wounds on [Red Skull [2], HYDRA Trooper [2]]
  
• GRAPPLE ARROW: Used [1] times, felt [handy for staying non-adjacent]
  
• TRICK ARROWS: Used the 2 attacks option [2] times, the -2 Defense option [1] times, and the damage dice option [0] times; felt [good]
  
• RESCUE MISSION: Got the bonus for [0] attacks; felt [like it could’ve shone if I’d waited to drop him]
  

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Black Widow with 2 Life wins.

UNIT SUMMARY: He pairs nicely with Cap and with SHIELD and feels like a solid value for his points, but probably within reason. If other tests come in strong, I wouldn’t oppose a 10 point bump. I like how he plays.

 

[MrNobody]

Hmm…should Trick Arrows go back to being an SA?

I worry that SHIELD is getting a little too tee-d up to love an attack bosoter, which they don’t currently have to my knowledge?

If they didn't have such strong thematic ties to Cap I'd be more in favor of that .... As is, I like the pull to Cap. Cap + Black Widow (230) + Hawkeye seems like a fun trio to build a team around.

___________________________________________________________​

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Like the design with rescue mission. Trick arrows is a cool power, but I found myself only using the “-2 defense” one though. He’s pretty dangerous if you just keep him up on height all game and the grapple arrow keeps him mobile if anyone tries to take him out. In the first game hawkeye seemed a little spicy, the JL would’ve lost even sooner if it weren’t for a lot of good rolls defending and Archangel missing his auto-wounds. Second game Hawkeye was tested at 180 points, In game 2, Hawkeye was tested at 180 pts, he fits the point total, just a lot of lucky rolls at the beginning to take away Hawkeye’s team’s bonding, but after the bonding was taken away, he was still useful and playable. Overall, like the design, but he could be 180 Points and I'd still draft him.

 

[japes]

I watched the end of the first game and played against him in the second game. anywhere from 170-180 would be draftable. He has a lot of tools to work with and I'm sure someone can find a spicier build Kid worked the angle of getting a boosted Rescue Mission to allow some after move damage dealers gets some free shots. Seemed pretty viable as a strategy. Knowing that I focused on taking out War Machine early. I also won every initiative until after Iron Man was taken out I think so he didn't get to stack that -1 onto Hawkeye's -2 defense to really strip me down. I think if we replayed that game KidA probably wins it with what he learned from that game. He'd never played with Dr Strange and neither of us had played the Gotham folks yet.

 

[Ericth74]

I think a move to 180 makes sense and keeping Trick Arrows a normal attack.

I propose a vote for Final Editing

 

[IAmBatman]

yea

I like him at 180

Wording suggestions:

GRAPPLE ARROW
Once per turn, instead of his move or attack action, you may place Hawkeye within 3 spaces and no more than 25 levels below his base or above his height.

TRICK ARROWS
Before attacking a non-adjacent figure within 6 spaces, choose 1:
• Hawkeye may attack twice per normal attack action. The same figure may not be attacked more than once.
• The defender has -2 Defense.
• After combat, if the defender took 1+ wounds, you may roll X damage dice against it, where X = the number of wounds it took from the attack.

RESCUE MISSION
Hawkeye has +1 Range and Attack when targeting a non-adjacent enemy that is adjacent to 1+ allies. After combat, if the defender took 1+ wounds, you may maneuver each ally that was adjacent to the defender up to 2 spaces with Stealth.

We could also make Grapple Arrow into a special move if that's preferred. Right now the Grapple Arrow triggers off of maneuvers while the special move version would not, so it's a slight mechanical change.

GRAPPLE ARROW 3 SPECIAL MOVE
Move 3. Height 25.
This ability may only be used once per turn. Hawkeye may use this ability instead of an attack action.

 

[MrNobody]

I dig it as a Special Move.

 

[Ericth74]

Late getting to this, I also like switching Grapple Arrow to a special move.

@Arch-vile do you feel that the Rescue Mission change is a must? It's a power on 2 other cards, wasn't sure if it was something we needed to go back and update or not.

Will update the other 2 powers now, thanks.

 

[Arch-vile]

Wasn't aware Rescue Mission is a reuse, I wouldn't change anything on it in that case.

 

[Ericth74]

Wasn't aware Rescue Mission is a reuse, I wouldn't change anything on it in that case.

Thanks. Cyclops 170 and Yondu have it
