SotM Event #22: The Name Game for the App

After a few battles together, the heroes start to become a team, I think those teams should get a name. In this event, choose a three hero team from the heroes available in the app, there are 165 combinations. If you win three games with those heroes against three different villains, you get to pick the name of that three hero team. If you lose, you can keep trying until you get three wins. Let's see if all 165 teams can get names!

When you have named your team, please post the name and matches here too!

Form

Sheet

Also, don't forget to add the team to Event #21!

Advanced or regular for facing the three villains?

Regular.

I see that promos are not to be seen

Which for Legacy seems rather mean

Young Legacy has

her own personal jazz

but she won't get to name her own team.

With the promos, there were over 400 different teams so I left them out. Right now, this event has 165*3=495 games.

Not counting losses, 7 games in my first team has 2 wins.  #thisgamecheats

Did two groups so far.  First one was Haka, Wraith, and AZ or team Whaz! against Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Omnitron.  In some of the matches I think Haka and AZ hurt themselves more than the villain

The second group was Viz, Ra, and AZ known as the team It burns when I Viz faced Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Bomber Blade.  A bit of a slow setup but this team felt rather dominant after the second round.  

I played all of my matches in Silver Gulch.  

I was working towards your second team

To ninja is (to me) rather mean

I'd conquered Mad Bomber Blade

and fought Voss in the shade

and was working fry Dawnie's spleen.

(In all seriousness, though, my game against Voss was epic.  I dropped him with exact damage, with Visionary and Ra incapped and AZ at 1.  Thank goodness for Phosphorescent Chamber.

Also, in my Dawn game, I had the pleasure of watching Dawn merge with the sun, and then return to normal on the same turn.  Meteor Storm is fun!)

Team GoGo Gadget! took to the field. Wraith, Bunker, and Absolute Zero; just think of all the equipment! They dealt a stinging loss to Grand Warlord Voss on Mars, then crashed the Citizens of the Sun party on Insula Primalis (poor Dawn never got her Aurora on). Then, in a feat some would call suicidal, they took on Omnitron in Silver Gulch. The first two battles, Terraforming and Tech Singularities wrecked Team GoGo Gadget!, but third time was the charm. Gingerly firing around two carts of dynamite, our gear-happy heroes prevailed.

Fanatic, Tachyon, Legacy. A really good team, now known as Faster Than Light!

I added Team Cleansing Downpour - Legacy, Tempest, Wraith.  It was a month ago, but I beat all the available villains - many of them on advanced.  You can read the details here (with screen shots!):  https://greaterthangames.com/forum/topic/cleansing-downpour-challenge-6731 .

I'll have to try to think of some catchy names for the other teams I've tried.

Great name, I'm guessing this team wipes half of the time they turn a corner.

Fanatic, Absolute Zero, and Ra AKA Baptism in Frost and Flame!

I am really liking this event.

Haka and Bunker begin

with Legacy to help make them grin

their achieving great fame

while under the name

"Oh when the tanks come marching in"

My first team made it in 8 games, after an epic streak of villain luck ended, Haka, Tempest and Ra became known as Earth Wind and Fire.

Second team of Fanatic, Ra, Bunker fared better, with Bunker dominating matches against Voss and Mad Bomber Blade, and Ra (Drawn to the Flame) crushing Dawn in epic fashion.  They shall now be known as Happiness is a warm gun.  Fanatic sitting in for Expat until RC is released.

The past, the future, the present

and the heroes that they represent

have beaten their foes

from their heads to their toes

Ra, Viz, and Legs won't relent

FIRST!!!1!

I was going to ask, was that intentional or a typo?

Team Brutal Sacrifice consisting of Legacy, Fanatic, and Haka beat down Baron Blade, Grand Warlord Voss, and Citizen Dawn in Silver Gulch.  The game against Voss had not one but two uses of End of Days to get rid of Voss's battleships since only Fanatic could deal damage to them.  Blade was only a minor issue since he drew a second MDP at the start.  Dawn took two attempts as Fanatic never drew any Ongoing destruction and Haka didn't get Savage Mana so a beginning Return wiht the Dawn was trouble as it seemed Citizen Truth or Citizen Anvil were the one that came back.  The seidbd game I did get a savage mana and was able to cobble citizens.  It ended with Haka going on a rampage and spitting Citizens back at Dawn along with Sheriff Pratt.  

Legacy, Ra, and Haka showed the villains that you should mess with or underestimate the old timers. To keep in theme, the three heroes defeated the villains in Silver Gulch, Insula Primalis, and the Ruins of Atlantis. These three heroes fight crime and protect the world as The Senior Citizens.

Totally intentional.

Bunker and Absolute Zero are not impressed by the negative threads over on the Steam forum. They've teamed up with The Visionary (whose thread will no doubt appear some day from another poster who does not recognize awesomeness) to form the ironic squad "Worst. Team. Ever." 

Lol!  Best team ever!

Tachyon, Fanatic, and Unity join forces to fight crime as...The Witch Doctors.

AZ, Bunker, and Legacy combined forces to become Cold Steel Heart

AZ, Bunker, and Haka combined forces to Freeze them, shoot them, and kick them while they're down. 

Joined together by their love for justice and the color purple, and shades similar to purple, Visionary, Wraith, and Unity have come together as the Purple Rain.

Tachyon, AZ, and Bunker combined forces to be Speedy Repairs to take down Voss, Ambuscade, and Baron Blade.  

Bunker, Ra, and AZ took down Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Bomber as A soldier, an archeologist, and a janitor walk into a bar

Er, I think I submitted as forum name "Kix" when I submitted the Egyptian train-royalty Cheryl Tut (Tachyon Unity Tempest), but I meant Eviltoon.

Woopsie.

I get confused between all my different forum names on the web!

Fixed.

Haka, Tempest, and Bunker take on swarms of enemies together as the AOE Brigade.

Holy guacamole that combo was effective.

Legacy, Fanatic, Tempest. All three healed, all three AoEd, but  egacy spent a lot of it adding +2 damage to everyone else.

It was brutal how quickly they annihilated everything they faced. Grand Warlord Voss flipped once, never got the flip back and Ambuscade never even got to flip. Baron Blade flipped with four cards underneath. Just... so brutal.

Go go "Do You Even LFT, Bro?"

Now to work on Legacy, Unity, Visionary.

So, eviltoon, what are you going to call that one? And will it be a Beatles reference?

You guessed well! LUV is all you need just finished. 

Now for Fanatic, Legacy and Unity.

Should I warn the villains to get inoculated?

Wow, guessed my pun again! H1N1.

How about Bunker, Legacy and Unity?

Da ba de, da ba da...(ad infinitum)

You're some sort of psychic. I could've made a dozen blue references...

Yes. Eiffel 65.

It was either going to be Eiffel 65 or Team Fortress 2, and Eiffel 65 is funnier, in my opinion.

Tachyon, Unity, and The Wraith got together to take out a few villains. A few lab explosions did occur, but Uptight About Science won the day!

Tempest, AZ, and Bunker unleashed a Hailstorm of Bullets against Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Citizen Dawn.  

You would think that Legacy's buffs would only make Absolute Zero and Fanatic kill themselves faster.  However, after a rousing series of battles against Baron Blade, Omnitron, and Grand Warlord Voss saw all three of the heroes still standing, the team was dubbed "The Reverse-Ronway."  Maybe you don't need to incapacitate the heroes to win after all.

Ra, Fanatic, and Unity have banded together as Deux Ex Machina.

I love this group name!

Thanks, Andy. Your opinion is the most important of all the mods, especially Craig.

Haka, Fanatic, and Tempest defend the world's freedom as The Foreigners.

Was a boring day.

Absolute Zero, Legacy and Tempest competed as "Elemental Legacy" against BB, Ambuscade and GWV (I always fight these three, respectively using Insula Primalis, Silver Gulch and Mars Base).

Bunker, Legacy and Tachyon competed as "Get me a freaky fast BLT!", then Tachyon switched out with Tempest for "Get me a wet BLT!"

AZ, Bunker, and Unity formed the IT Crowd to take down Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Voss.   They got lost in time once but that didn't stop them for long.  

Good name, Powerhound. I tried that team a couple of times against Voss, but it didn't pan out.

It took a while to get the damage on Voss but with Bunker first in turn order he normally could take out the minion that was played that round, AZ has Sub Zero Atmospshere out so only Voss and Silver Gluch were dealing any damage, and once Unity was able to keep two raptor bots in play Voss was chomped quickly.  

I saw someone put Bunker/AZ/Unity on the board and I was kinda bummed. I'd lost five matches out of seven, was about to do my eighth match... and it was claimed!

"IT Crowd" is good. I was gonna call them "SXSW". They are a REALLY uncomfortable combo for me. They took down Ambuscade and Baron Blade (both proved tough) but I couldn't manage down Voss, either. The environments tended to board wipe Unity pretty frequently, no matter which environment I chose. Super frustrating.

It took a whole to build them up but by the end or the third round at worst I wasn't having much trouble picking things off.  Typically tried to use Silver  Gulch to my advantage to take out lower health villain targets.  

When I was fighting Dawn with Unity, I generally tried to keep one citizen at low each HP or bring out Bee Bot as Kraken insurance.

Finally added in some stats. If anybody wants me to track something else, just say so.

Considering it's all I did, I gave AZ/Leg/Haka the name "Stall for Haka".

This event has now been updated to include Rook City. We only have 261 more teams to name!

Haka is hungry. With Unity and The Visionary, they are Part of a Complete Breakfast.

Haka may or may not have eaten golems and decoy projections for breakfast.

Nice

You jerk, I read this and freaked out thinking RC was now live on the app.

Fanatic, Unity and Wraith take down Dawn, Ambuscade abd Omnitron (after a horrible 3rd round loss to Voss) to form Holy Golems Batman.

AZ, Haka, and Fanatic formed the team Stop Hitting Yourself! to take down Ambuscade, Blade, and Voss. 

Absolute Zero, Legacy, and Ra (through much effort, a few loses, and a plethora of fire damage) defeated Baron Blade, Omnitron, and Cosmic Omnitron and earned the name "That's not burn cream!"

Nice! How did Ronway not snag that one =)

Aaagh! Someone sniped the one I spent hours trying to do. "That's not burn cream!" is pretty good, though.

I don't think Ronway has heavily participated in this.  At least that's what I assume

With Grand Warlord Voss, Mad Bomber Blade, and Omnitron taken care Fanatic and Tempest help Haka teach his kindergarten class that, like the number five, "Three is a Prime Number."  The children are left wonder what a prime number is.

Is it boring that Legacy is my favorite character?

Anyway. Legacy, Absolute Zero and Tachyon teamed up as... "Fast Acting Extra Strength Icy Hot" against Baron, Voss and Ambuscade.

Sadly I have not. A mixture of things is causing my lack of participation in this event: I have been busy (you may have noticed my overall posting activity has dropped within the last few months), can't think of a team names, and enjoy playing random so much it is hard to set down and play as 3 of the same heroes in a series of games.

Haka, Bunker and Tachyon are now Eats, Shoots and Leaves!

Lol!  Awesome.  These names are great guys.  Thanks for cracking me up.

Aaaand I'm-a "Chargin' mah LAZUs!" with Absolute Zero, Legacy and Unity.

Hot damn they had some difficulties with Baron Blood. And Grand Warlord Voss was all luck. But Ambuscade was a cakewalk.

Only 34 more Legacy teams to go! Gonna just chug through those...

I think, you, me, and eviltoon have put in the most names. Eviltoon I think is leading with number of team names contributed.

The Stats tab has that info.

Absolute Zero, Legacy, and the Wraith defeated Ambuscade, Baron Blade, and Grand Warlord Voss.  They will forever be known as Team Motivational Charge.

Fanatic, Tachyon, and AZ formed Holy Science AZ who took down Blade, Voss, and Omnitron. 

Fanatic, Tempest, and AZ joined forces as Holy Hailstorm to take down Blade, Voss, and Dawn

Bunker, Fanatic, and Fixer are BFFs.

Take Fanatic, the Wraith, Unity

And Ra, Tempest, and lastly AZ

My new joke is here

Check where they all appear

to learn how to keep an idiot busy

(Actually, the teams were AZ, Fanatic, and Unity, and Ra, Tempest, and Wraith, but that didn't rhyme as well.)

Also, Pydro, you need to update the sheet.  I think that when you added the new teams, you forgot to extend the formulas for the name column.

Fixed. Thanks!

Fixer, Unity, and Tachyon clean up the streets of the world as The Maintenance Crew.

AZ, Bunker, and Mr Fixer combined forces as Slow and steady wins the race.   They managed to defeat Voss, Spite, and Ambuscade.   Let me tell you this was probably one of the more frustrating teams.   Often I found myself being unable to deal with Ongoings and that made attempted matches against Plague Rat and Blade result in losses.  Honestly, Mr Fixer was typically my most effective hero but he also ended up the first to die a lot too.  

Introducing Team Two Equals Zero: featuring "Sucker Punch" Tachyon, "Wrathful Gaze" Ra, and Mister "Tire Iron" Fixer. Those last two hit points are for chumps! Handily taking down Baron Blade, Plague Rat, and Citizen Dawn. Sadly wasn't quite able to pull off the "defeat on Powered By The Sun" side. Next time!

Not all heroes have a natural advantage. Some have to struggle, to strive, to survive. Those who put themselves in harms way against the forces that terrorize this planet, knowing that the only things standing between them and their doom are their wits and their skills are truly Beyond Human Limits.

(Expat, Fixer, and Wraith, for the as the no powers team. Fun fact: The last game with them was actually won by the police backup, for extra flavor!)

BULLET HELL: (Grandpa) Legacy, Visionary, and Expatriette. Legacy gives Expatriette more powers, Visionary gives Expatriette more cards (her greatest weakness), and Expatriette loads, reloads, and unloads her many many guns into her many, many enemies. Villains defeated include Cosmic Omnitron, Mad Bomber Baron Blade, and the Chairman because SOMEBODY had to.

Grandpa Legacy, DW Expatriette, and DW Fixer join together as Soldiers of Fortune

They fought Voss, Mother Dearest, and Plague Rat.

Fixer, Tempest and Visionary showed Ambuscade, Mad Bomber Blade and Citizen Dawn why they're Team Twisting The Ethers! With Grease Monkey Fist, Elemental Subwave Inducer and the titular card Twist The Ether, there is no damage type they can't do!

AZ, Expat, and Fixer formed Cold Blind Justice.   They took out Ambuscade, Bomber Blade, and Voss.  

Haka, Legacy, and Mr Fixer joined forces as Too old for this sh*t.   They took down Omnitron, Matriarch, and Voss.   

Let’s see if we can finish this off. From now on, you only have to win 1 game with thr team to name it. That still leaves 191 games yet to be played!

The form still requires three villains to be chosen.  

AZ, Bunker, and Expat are Setting up the Bomb.   They took down Baron Blade despite his devious disruptions. 

I always forget stuff like that. Fixed. Thanks!

Fanatic, Expat, and Wraith took down Citizen Dawn as the Femme Fatales.

Mr. Fixer, Expat, and Bunker defended the streets of Megalopolis from Baron Blade's bombs as The Powerless.

Absolute Zero, Mr Fixer, and Tachyon formed Frost Fever to fend off Plague Rat in Insula Primalis.  

The Even Worst Team of Mr Fixer, Expat, and Visionary defeated Baron Blade in the Ruins of Atlantis.  

I actually like Ancient Kung Fu. AOE are us is also good, but I already named a team the AOE brigade. Tempest is in both teams. Maybe they can do a future crossover event.

Whew. Finally did all the Legacy ones.

Unity is pretty frustrating on his teams: you end up with two people doing slow-build-up utility support.

Fanatic, Visionary, and Mr. Fixer teamed up as the Knights Radiant.  (Although Visionary didn't actually deal any radiant damage to Citizen Dawn).  Eventually, Omnitron-X and the Scholar will be invited to join their team, but that may be some time in coming.

Looks like we are all working through Fixer next! Let's do this.

I've been going through AZ matches myself lately.  

Absolute Zero team ups are done.
