Re: Invincible - Design

Totally reworked design to give him a bit more personality rather than just "punch." A little bit of a generalist leader-y thing. He'll bond with Atom Eve (Who's possible rework is here)

I think the soft synergy on the 3 would be decent. You focus on Mark first, and Even and Omni-Man will mess you up. You focus on Not-Mark first and Mark will mess you up while he boosts his friends' defense.

Re: Invincible - Design

Should just be "damage dice" in the first ability. Wording looks good otherwise.

Dig the direction in general. Does 6 Attack feel a tad light for him thematically?

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: Invincible - Design

Thanks, fixed the typo.

I just carried over his attack from the first design. I don't mind going up to 7 I just want him slightly under Omni-Man. His life and attack being one less works for me.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Invincible - Design

Yeah, one under Omni for Life and Attack feels spot on for me as well.

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: Invincible - Design

I'll go with that for now.

And the 360 here doesn't have to stick. Just trying to make him, Eve, and Omni-Man all be 1000. So we can adjust here and adjust Eve. Though I do like both Mark and Nolan being 800 together, even if they have no direct synergy.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Invincible - Design

For sure. I'm all for tweaking all three of them until we hit a point where the three together feel good at 1000.

Re: Invincible - Design

I think I'd restructure the first power and eliminate a comma.

DESPERATE ATTACK
After Invincible's attack action, if he has 4+ wounds or if an ally within 4 clear spaces has 2+ wounds, you may roll 2 damage dice against an adjacent figure.

Got it

Re: Invincible - Design

I have never played the original but this looks fun. a 800 point build with Omni Man sounds like a blast...for at least one player

Re: Invincible - Design

Small edits. Missed a one -> 1 in Superhuman Endurance.

BRUTAL INSPIRATION
If Invincible inflicts 1+ wounds on an enemy on your turn, allies within clear sight of Invincible receive +1 Defense until the start of your next turn.

SUPERHUMAN ENDURANCE
When defending against a normal attack, add 1 block. At the start of each round, heal 1 wound.

I like the changes. Wouldn't be surprised to see him creep up a little in cost.

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: Invincible - Design

Ah, actually didn't use the updated version at all from Omni-Man, whoops. Got it now.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Invincible



Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Invincible (360), Nebula (600)
Vs.
Spider-Verse: Anya, Spider-Man, Assassin Spidey (600)

Spoiler Alert!

Recap: Turns out Mark and Nebula are really good against Spiders. Mark had a lucky hit on Anya way too early, killing their efficiency. Then when Pete dodged Mark’s attacks, Nebula stepped in, rolling for autowounds. Pete lasted quite a while, but even with regular 5 die attacks he couldn’t roll more than 2 skulls most of the time, and all the wounds he added to the pair were healed up. I believe they each healed 3-4 wounds each, just because it dragged on and Pete could only score a wound at a time. But even a single lucky hit from the Spiders would have made this quite a bit closer.



Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Invincible with 1 wound, Nebula with 4 wounds.

___________________________________________________________​

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Invincible, Ms Marvel, GL Guy Gardner (JL) (1000)
Vs.
JL Trinity (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Recap: Good game, if not long. GL got wrecked pretty hard pretty fast, Bats’ autowounds plus Wonder Woman ‘s attacks finished him pretty quick. Carol and Mark laid the hurt on Wonder Woman, but Supes started blocking everything for her. Invincible changed to hit Superman, trying to finish him before his last marker is used, but no go. Bats keeps sniping with his autowounding batarangs, while Superman and Wonder Woman keep the pressure up on Mark’s face. Eventually Mark’s dice run out of luck, completely missing 3 Desperate Attack rolls in a row, and Bats finishes him with a batarang. Could easily have gone either way if Mark’s dice kept up, but all in all pretty balanced, considering Superman and Wonder Woman were basically written off as dead and just waiting for the last die to hit them.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Superman with 6 wounds, Wonder Woman with 4 wounds, Batman Unwounded.

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Invincible, Avengers Iron Man, Falcon, Weather Wizard (1000)
Vs.
Fan Four (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Recap: Avengers had a bad day. Johnny did some massive damage with his Flame On, and he made it happen that the swipes gave him 4 wounds, powering up Ben, who massively damaged Invincible. The FF rolled a few 20’s, and they cut down Weather Wizard and Falcon pretty quick. Iron Man’s attacks couldn’t crack Johnny’s 8 defense even for a single wound, and Invincible was trying his best to take out Sue, but even with multiple attacks and damage dice, he only managed 2 wounds on her before Ben showed up and pummeled him. Bad luck all around, but it definitely shows he’s not overpowered at least.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Reed and Ben with 0 wounds, Sue with 2 wounds, Johnny with 4 wounds.

___________________________________________________________​

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: I really like him. His abilities give your opponent a bit of a losing puzzle, attack him and power him up, or attack his defense boosted allies (Who are probably offering synergy), and also power up Mark. He’s definitely tough, but not infallible. Happy with this design for sure.
