Deadline vs. Captain Cosmic, Mr. Fixer, Omnitron-U and Unity in the Dok'thorath Capital
This is a pretty standard Deadline fight with no big surprises. An fun and easy Mint for me. I do wonder why the battle to protect humanity is happening on the Thorathian homeworld, but it's still a lot of fun :).
There are some nice combos in thsi setup too, especially Omni-U playing Equipment for Unity to make bots (and get exrtra damage to boot).
Mint. Good showcase of Captain Cosmic and Mr. Fixer being BFFs. Try to keep Fixer's stuff from being destroyed and you won't regret it. Dual Crowbars, Grease Monkey Fist, Harmony, Cosmic Weapon + Overdrive is a sight to behold.
Mint, ended the game with a fun finisher…
Hasty augmentation on Mr. Fixer with his Crowbar, Monkey Fist, Harmony setup to hit Omnitron-U for 6 (destroying all components for 2 damage each) and then 9 to Deadline for the win.
By the time I won all heroes were in single digits but the game felt fairly safe throughout regardless.
Yeah, this was an easy Mint. Deadline's not too hard and messing around with Omni-U was fun. :) Kinda wish I'd saved Hasty Augs for Defensive Blast instead of his base power, though, since the damage boost doesn't happen.
Easy win. It would have been mint but, for the first time in any of these one-shots, I screwed up and hit rewind without catching myself first (d'oh!!!!). It was over something unimportant too - switching the order of targets that Fixer hit with the crowbar with. Sigh.
Ouch.
I minted too, but I was really tired of the Freedom fighters before it was over.
Mint.
All heroes in single digits at the end, because I kept making mistakes (like accidentally hitting Mr. Fixer's Strike power instead of Cosmic Weapon...this happened multiple times and absentmindedly choosing to have Captain Cosmic shuffle his trash into his deck rather than discard from Ataxia Sphere...while he had Unflagging Animation out and several constructs in the trash)--things I would have used the rewind button for....
Definitely BFFs. Don’t neglect Augmented Ally and/or Dynamic Siphon so Fixer can use at least 2 powers each round!
I didn’t even get to use Overdrive.
All hero HP was in high teens except O-U… Fixer may have sliced him in the face with that Cosmic Weapon one time… with Hasty Augmentation…
Mint. Definately a team of BFFs. Ended the game by bouncing a few Dual Crowbars off of constructs for 7-9 damage to Deadline's face, with Unity Hastily Augmenting two Defensive Blasts. Everyone was at low health by the end, but I could have easily dealt 12+ more damage in the last round, well set up, and Deadline had just nuked so I was in no serious danger.
Ouch, got my Mint as well, but ended with Unity and Omnitron at 1 each, Fixer at 2 and Cosmic at 3 HP! Cut it way too close with way too many stupid misplays. Also, I'll echo the sentiment of getting seriously sick of the Freedom Fighters!
Mint, with a lot of damage coming by way of either Unity or Deadline destroying O-U's stuff. No real trouble here -- leaving the looters out meant that the Rebel Base came out quickly, meaning the next set of rebels were on my side.
Unity didn't get much out, but got O-U to do a huge defensive blast -- and then Deadline offed himself by taking out that card.
Mint, but it was kind of a boring, no-fun slog. Just about every turn, there was some sort of environment/Deadline effect that did 2-3 damage to *every* target on the board, which wiped out constructs and 'bots almost as soon as I could get them out. Plus, some of these heroes' best combos/tricks (Salvage Yard, Robot Reclamation, Omni-U's base power, Unflagging Animation) depend on them getting stuff out of their trash, and the %#$@^#% Severed Ley-Line meant that their trash kept getting recycled into their decks.
By Round 3-4, I could tell I was going to win by Fixer just relentlessly pounding on Deadline, and the rest of the heroes chipping in little bits whenever they could keep their best bots/constructs/components out for more than a round or two. Winning isn't much fun when 3/4 of your heroes never really get any of their good combos going. The thought of the wet "crack/gush" sound as Fixer took Deadline out by burying a crowbar in his skull kinda made up for it, though.
