C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT : ROBIN '66

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = Robin (‘66)
SECRET IDENTITY = DICK GRAYSON

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CRIME FIGHTER
PERSONALITY = ENTHUSIASTIC

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 60

UTILITY BELT 1
At the start of the game, after Order Markers are placed and before initiative is rolled, you may place one Utility Equipment Glyph of your choice on this card. Robin cannot lose this glyph by receiving wounds unless he is destroyed.

“HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!”
After taking a turn with a figure you control named Batman, if that Batman is within 6 clear sight spaces of Robin and is engaged, you may place Robin on an empty space adjacent to that Batman and at least one enemy figure. Then, if that Batman is a Valiant Crime Fighter, you may attack with Robin. Figures moved by this special power will not take leaving engagement attacks.

SOCK!
When Robin attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack and no skulls are rolled, you may count all shields rolled as hits.

Army Test
Map : HIGHWAYS & DIEWAYS (No Glyphs)
Units :
Robin ‘66 (60), Batman ‘66 (140), Bishop (170), Jonah Hex (130)
= 500

VS.

Superboy *YJ* (210), Robin *YJ* (150), Impulse (140)
= 500

Spoiler Alert!

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview : Superman has the potential to do some crazy damage. The Red Team is going to want to use Jonah/Bishops range to whittle Young Justice down before they can get in.

Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Used 2 times, 1 wound to Superboy
UTILITY BELT 1 : Used Police Scanner for positioning in the early game.
HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN! : Used 2 times.
SOCK! : N/A

Robin takes the Police Scanner. Batman takes Police Scanner, Smoke Pellets, and Kryptonite Gauntlets. Jonah Hex chooses Superboy for Bounty Hunter.

ROUND 1 : Red Team initiative.
Both teams jockey for position in the center, taking potshots all the while. Superboy tries to fly in for a big attack, but Batman uses his Smoke Pellet to get out of dodge.

ROUND 2 : Red Team initiative.
Batman and Robin pounce on Superboy, but he tanks through their attacks. Impulse runs down the field after Jonah, dealing 3 wounds with his attacks. Adam and Burt attack Superboy again, nearly killing Superboy. Superboy uses his Tactile Telekinesis to move Robin to low ground and kill him. Jonah scores 2 wounds onto Impulse.

ROUND 3 : Young Justice initiative. Bishop enters the battlefield.
Impulse starts the round, killing Jonah but taking a wound in the process. YJ gets the advantage this round, with Impulse also killing Batman.


ROUND 4 : Red Team initiative.
Bishop uses the initiative win to get the kill on Impulse. Both teams stalemate this round, with the only action being a wound onto Bishop.

ROUND 5 : Young Justice initiative.
Superboy and Robin both fail to wound Bishop. Bishop safely disengages from them both, and gets some great Concussive Blast rolls to kill them both in one turn. Red Team wins!

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Bishop 3/5 Life

Post-Game Thoughts : Maybe a little light of a performance from Robin ; He only got 1 wound, but it was onto the most valuable member of the blue team. Getting 4 utility glyphs for 200 points seems like it could be really useful in some matchups.

Army Test

Units :
Robin ‘66 (60), Batman ‘66 (140), Savage Dragon (280), John Dusk (220)
= 700

VS.

Blacksmith (210), Captain Cold I (90), Golden Glider (110), Girder (190), Weather Wizard I (100)
= 700

Spoiler Alert!

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview : Rogues have some solid utility and bonding. I think I’m going to use Batman/Robin as an early game duo, and try and have them take out a valuable unit like Captain Cold or Weather Wizard.

Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Used 5 times, 1 wound to Golden Glider, 4 wounds to Blacksmith, 4 wounds to Captain Cold
UTILITY BELT 1 : Used to avoid an attack from Girder.
HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN! : Used 1 time.
SOCK! : N/A

Robin takes Smoke Pellets. Batman takes Smoke Pellets, Bat-Rope, and Bolas. Golden Glider chooses Captain Cold for Rogue Duo.

ROUND 1 : Red Team initiative.
Mostly just movement from each team. Batman takes a wound from Blacksmith on OM 3.

ROUND 2 : Rogue initiative.
Batman takes a wound from Golden Glider. He and Robin then go after her, and take her down. Captain Cold takes Batman out with his special attack, so Savage Dragon takes the remaining OMs. Dragon/Dusk move up, with Dragon dealing a wound to Girder on OM 3, and Dusk moving some people around with his special attack.

ROUND 3 : Rogue initiative.
The Rogues focus fire Savage Dragon this round, wearing him down and getting the kill. Robin works his way around the side of the center height, and manages to kill Blacksmith in two attacks! John Dusk ends the round heavily wounded.

ROUND 4 : Red Team initiative.
Robin is absolutely on fire with his rolls, killing Captain Cold in 2 attacks. He takes 2 wounds in the process though, leaving a very wounded Robin and Dusk against Weather Wizard and Girder.

ROUND 5 : Rogue initiative.
As hot as Robin has been in this game, he and Dusk die fairly easily to Weather Wizard and his lightning. Rogues win!


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Weather Wizard 4/4 Life, Girder 4/6 Life

Post-Game Thoughts : Robin was absolutely on fire, rolling 3 skulls left and right. The rest of his team let him down a bit though, and the Rogues have such good OM efficiency that they were able to grind the red team down.

‘Sock!’ still hasn’t come into play, but I checked the Batman 66 playtests and it was a similar situation there.

Army Test

Robin ‘66 (60), Batman ‘66 (140), Batmobile (250), Luke Cage (190), Swordsman (160)
= 800

VS.

Black Panther *Avengers* (210), Doctor Strange *Avengers* (320), Iron Man *Avengers* (270)
= 800

Spoiler Alert!

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview : Trying a Crime Fighter build. I'm thinking Batman and Robin in the Batmobile are going to wait until they zoom towards an isolated member of the blue team.

Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Used 2 times, 1 wound to Dr. Strange
UTILITY BELT 1 :Used to avoid Black Panthers attack.
HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN! : Used 3 times.
SOCK! : N/A

Robin takes Smoke Pellets. Batman takes Smoke Pellets, Batmobile Remote, and Bolas. Batmobiles takes Caltrops. Batman and Robin start the game in the Batmobile.

ROUND 1 : Crime Fighter initiative.
Mostly movement from both sides. Swordsman blasts Iron Man for one wound.

ROUND 2 : Avenger initiative.
Strange extracts Iron Man and heals him. Iron Man flies forward and shoots Swordsman for 1 wound, and Black Panther also moves up. Black Panther gets into the backline, and kills Swordsman thanks to his height. Cage retaliates by one shotting Iron Man. The Illuminati have been whittling Cage down all round, and he dies after whiffing a roll against Strange’s attack.

ROUND 3 : Crime Fighter initiative.
Batman drives the Batmobile closer to Strange, and then he and Robin hop out, each of them dealing a wound to Strange on their attack. Black Panther moves forward and tosses some daggers at Batman, dealing 2 wounds. Using the Batmobile Remote, Batman gets a wound onto Strange, but Strange avoids the Dynamic Duos normal attacks. Batman burns his Smoke Pellets to avoid Strange’s attack. Batman bolas Black Panther, and Strange ends OM 3 with 1 life left.

ROUND 4 : Avenger initiative.
Using Arcane Avenger, Strange places Black Panther adjacent to himself and Robin. Panther kills Robin in one hit on a good roll, and the wounded Batman dies to Stranges attack. Avengers win!

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Black Panther 4/4 Life, Dr. Strange 1/6 Life

Post-Game Thoughts : The Illuminati had some solid defensive powers that made them tough to kill. Batman and Robin in the Batmobile aren’t powerhouses, but they had some really fun tricks up their sleeve to keep the game competitive.

General Thoughts on the Tested Unit : I had fun with him, particularly in the endgame of game 3. ‘Sock!’ never activated, but it’s just a little reliability insurance for his mediocre attack of 3. ‘Holy Smokes, Batman!’ is fun, letting you get the duo into melee fairly easily. They're both squishy, but taking Smoke Pellets helps out.

He’s maybe a touch weak, but I honestly don’t think it’s a huge deal. You’ll mostly be bringing him and Batman ‘66 so that you can have 4 utility glyphs for 200 points.

He did get lucky and stick around a bit and get in some lucky hits near end game to make it close.

• UTILITY BELT 1: Placed Police Scanner.

___________________________________________________________​

Just wanted to post my first test for posterity. They felt a bit outmatched, but the Cops and some lucky dice rolls let them stick around long enough to be close.

I'll try to run two with the updated version.

Unit Summary: It’s tough, because once Batman falls, he’s hard to activate, and even with a screen of Cops, Batman falls before he does terribly much damage. Still, he was fun, and I don’t expect too much from this version of the character. He could drop a little in points and be fun but he’s not unplayable at his current cost, probably just not really something you’d consider taking competitively without a Gundam.
For Elm Street, the hills were still definite points of contact, with the Inmates coming to the Cop start zone this time, but it didn’t feel unbalanced or like a determining factor.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (3) wounds on (Joker (3))
• UTILITY BELT 1: Placed Police Scanner.
• HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!: Placed Robin (5) times; attacked with Robin (4) times

Unit Summary: Robin was a lot easier to move here and the house and trees along with the Smoke Pellet gave the Crime Fighters plenty of cover to get to the enemy hill without being sniped. Once they got there, though, Red Skull, Crossbones, and Bane were just stronger figures.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Inflicted (1) wounds on (Red Skull (1))
• UTILITY BELT 1: Placed Smoke Pellet. He didn’t end up using it, since Batman used his, then combat went into melee.
• HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!: Used for lots of moves and one attack.
• SOCK: Counted (0) shields as hits.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Bane with 2/6 Life, Red Skull with 3/5 Life, Crossbones with Full Life, and Oracle with Full Life win.

___________________________________________________________​

UNIT SUMMARY: Ace probably has stronger stacks, so not worried about that one here. The Batman/Robin duo feels fine, but definitely not very powerful without any stat boosters of any sort or any defensive powers to keep them around.

Re: The Book of Robin ('66) - public playtest

Thanks Bats! I’m not expecting this Robin to be anything too special competitively honestly , since Batman ‘66 isn’t great. Gonna keep him at 60 for the time being, the new HSB should help.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Robin ('66) - public playtest

Yeah, I agree with that. I'm honestly fine with him not being particularly competitive. It'd be a bit odd if he outshone Batman '66 in that regard. I do eventually want to do a Batmobile '66 which could help them out.

What with this design having Utility Belt and all, feels like a missed opportunity not to run an African Death Bee Antidote Pill Utility Glyph.
