Character Bio - Sam Scudder became involved in crime at a young age. While incarcerated, he became obsessed with learning about and traveling into mirrors. Eventually succeeding, he used his mirror gun to create a new criminal persona, the Mirror Master. He joined up with the Rogues and hasn't looked back since.

-Combinations and Synergies-

Incoming Synergy:Outgoing Synergy:
  • Mirror Master may move up to two Rogues with his Through the Mirror World special power.
  • Mirror Master may use his Through the Mirror World special power after an adjacent Rogue is attacked due to his Rogue Retreat special power.
Immunities, Benefits, and Weaknesses:_________________________________________________________________

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-
  • Through the Mirror World is a very versatile power, especially when combined with Rogue Retreat. Its most obvious use is to ferry some Rogues to high ground at the start of the battle, but don't discount using it for a quick escape or teleporting an enemy away at an opportune time! It works especially well with teleporting a lockdown figure like Tar Pit (or even himself) adjacent to an enemy to protect more valuable Rogues.

Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

NAME = MIRROR MASTER
SECRET IDENTITY = SAM SCUDDER

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ROGUE
PERSONALITY = TRICKY

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 6
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 160


THROUGH THE MIRROR WORLD
Instead of taking a turn with Mirror Master, you may choose an adjacent figure, or up to two adjacent figures if they are both Rogues you control, and place Mirror Master on any empty space within 8 spaces of his previous position. You may then place any chosen figures adjacent to Mirror Master on empty same-level spaces. Figures moved with this special power will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

ROGUE RETREAT
Once per round, after Mirror Master or an adjacent Rogue you control is attacked and after placing any wounds, you may immediately use Mirror Master’s Through The Mirror World special power.

LACK OF REFLECTIONS
If Mirror Master is on a shadow space, all other special powers on this card are negated.

Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

There are two Mirror Master mini options. I found pics for the flat one, but if anyone has the one where he's half out of the mirror, that'd be cool as it looks nicer.

Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Pretty straightforward here.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Looks good. I think the one figure/full turn limit and the Rogue restriction on the reactive power will really reduce any generalist appeal here. So unless I'm misreading what he has to offer, it seems safe to test him in faction armies exclusively.

Maybe a start zone bomber build one time just as a sanity check?
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

I've got him at about 165 on the calculator, btw, so I think you're dead on here. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

OH cool you added the weakness...thanks.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Cool. I remember him being a little more amped-up at one point, but it looks like his power level has been moderated a little.

I imagine the ability to move an enemy figure reactively will be a little annoying, but it's got a reasonable number of restrictions built in.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Ah, derp, didn’t even think about the enemy movement. Snatching someone up into Mirror World is definitely on brand for him, though, so I like it. :-D
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Glad people are liking this one. I updated the wording on Lack of Reflections after looking through similar powers.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

Very basic but I think he'll be a fun factional piece - no notes to speak of!

I also have a preference for the "stepping out of the mirror" one, as fun as the flat piece is. :lol:
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (breathing)

I'll propose for initial testing.

Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (vote for initia

yea. Look forward to seeing how he plays. Tarpit seems like a likely combo. Maybe Magenta too?
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (vote for initia

yea

I'm a bit worried about his kiting potential, but willing to see how it shakes out in the initials.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (vote for initia

People talk about kiting a lot, but I don't think it's a strategy I'm very good at implementing. For rubes like me, any chance you could breakdown a hypothetical turn by turn to show how you could kite with a unit like this?
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (vote for initia

I typically view kiting as a Silver Surfer type thing - Attack, then run away with hyper speed. Anyone that can move after an attack can use it to hopefully avoid Melee attacks. (Really only effective in the endgame.) So with Mirror Master he could attack, then after being attacked teleport far away to avoid being attacked the rest of the round. But he’ll still take that first attack, so it shouldn’t be anything too crazy.

This passes
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (wait for initia

Yeah, the idea that he still takes the attack is what struck me as making this non-problematic. Is he really able to avoid any attacks while still attacking? That's typically what I'd view as kiting/problematic as well.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (wait for initia

I’m not talking about the reactive thing, I’m saying to use Cold II to get a turn with a Rogue and then have Mirror Master port them away.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (wait for initia

Ah, interesting. I'll try to exploit that in testing.
 
Re: The Book of Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) (wait for initia

:up: Thanks for clarifying.
