Covid-19 special edition. Wash your hands.
Sergeant Steel, Miss Information, La Comodora and Ermine vs Cosmic Inventor Writhe, Dark Argent Adept, Omnitron-X and Dark Visionary in the Maeryninan Refuge.
Good luck, heroes. And remember to wash your hands
...Wait, it's not Monday though. c.c What the heck.
Well, this wasn't too bad, honestly. The heavy defense team took a while to get going, but they've got plenty of area attacks, and of course the environment was there to speed things along. Word to the wise, take out the lightning dome if you want things to go even faster, there's a lot of lightning damage being flung at the villains in this game.
Argent Adept of all people finished things off with a dual Syncopated Onslaught to Sergeant Steel.
Really missed an opportunity here for Medico vs. Plague Rat, or Parse vs. Miss Information. Or both, in the team format. Maybe add Biomancer for the name and Luminary/Tachyon for the science angle. Set it in Megalopolis. Or would that all be too on the nose?
That's a great title. :-D Amazing!
Will take any and all ideas for related one-shots in the weeks to come!
Pretty easy mint. Writhe and Argent Adept kept 3 out of the 4 heroes isolated every turn, which greatly helped to reduce loss of health. Focused on Miss Information first as she was the biggest threat and causes the most problems with the team. The heroes completely ignored the mass gatherings at Sergeant Steel's base until the end of the game when everything had run its course and it was safe to venture out again.
I also had a pretty easy time, everyone finished at max HP except O-U at 20.
Writhe was a total powerhouse. He protected Visionary for a while until he got a bunch of cards, the Cloak, and Umbral Siphon out, then he kept using his "select a target, +1 damage to that target, use a power" to burn people down and stop Steel's healing. When Visionary turtled up or he got an extra power, he usually protected himself.
AA mostly kept himself healed up and passed power uses as appropriate using Harp / Supertonic.
O-U didn't get to do a whole lot, but I eventually had two Innervation Rays out, so that was something.
Visionary got Demoralization/Cocoon out and soaked damage while plinking away.
KO order: Ermine, Steel, Miss Information, La Capitan.
I originally tried to focus on SS, but Hold the Line kept Removed by Mod coming up.
Took out Ermine, then started on SS, bought him down low and kicked MI below 4, and the environment killed both of them in the same turn.
Then La Capitan gulped when Chiquito was eaten by Writhe and he repeatedly stabbed her with the Umbral Siphon.
Otherwise I had them on high lock down with Writhe protecting Omnitron and Visionary every turn (power + argetnt's ability) + argent was healing 2 HP a turn. I thought I had it in he bag easy...
Then... Levithian came out
Before Omnitron's turn (who had the destroy an enviroment power) Miss Information played the "hero's cannot use power card" and levithian smacked us all in the face for 4 damage... then Ermine destroyed Omnitron's destory enviroment power... Then Miss information made Writhe (who had about half his deck in his hand) discard all one shot's sending him down to 2 cards which also included his destroy enviroment card... so Levithian got to smack us again again the next turn.... I only stopped him because Argent finally pulled his destory enviroment power... But meanwhile while I was dealing with this combination of Earmine + La Camadora had cleaned out Omnitron's and visonary's hand, and had destroyred all of theri stuff...
It's been awhile since things have turned south so quickly for me... Got the Mint, but I came out with a nearly dead party.
Interesting match. The game went 3-4 rounds with zero damage dealt to the villains, but the villains didn't have much offense and the heroes had great defense.
The dynamic turned in an instant when Judge Mental came out, with Twist the Ether and two Coil Blasters on Omnitron. It ripped Miss Information and Ermine apart in two rounds. Steel wasn't far behind, and a huge Self-Sabotage explosion took out La Cap after Writhe had hidden the stupid anthropoid.
