On the printable gift certificate thing for the delayed expansion there are what look like art prints on the right. One of them shows the Terminarch holding some sort of platform with Legacy and someone else on it. Any ideas on who the second Kung Fu Jones looking guy is? Looks kinda like Tiger Jackson from Tekken. I've searched but didn't find anything on it.
Some speculate that it could be Mister Fixer thanks to the clothes being some what similar, including the coloring.
Yeah we (read: me) talked a lot about that character on the PT forums.
Mr Fixer used to go by the name Black Fist when he was younger. Being a martial artist named Black Fist brings up images of 70's blacksploitation characters from that era. The character in the picture we are talking about also has an afro.
Idk. Read into that if you want to.
I assume the rest is playtester-sensitive information?
The rest of what? That was basically it.
Oh, I thought since it was discussed among the playtesters, that it was implied Black Fist would make an appearance later in the sets.
We are not certain the guy in with the afro is Black Fist at all. We talked about it because it was a character no one was familiar with.
Makes sense to me. A 70s, afro wearing Mr Fixer promo might actually get me to give his deck a shot.
DWFixer didn't do it for you? I thought that woulda fixed most peoples issues with him. Yay puns?
I don't have any issues with him, I've just never been interested in playing him. Regardless of the innate power.
I haven't played DW Fixer but the idea of having to destroy stuff to deal 3 damage seems really situational.
It's pretty great actually. It takes one turn of setup, but you can start power cycling through your own weapons/styles and keep churning them out. ToolBox is the best because it nets you cards first then you can destroy it. Tons of teamates will have situational stuff out as well if they feel like helping you out. It's a pretty strong tactic and since you can search for styles you usually have a bunch. It promotes diversity of his play states where original fixer, once you find the perfect tool/style combo you pretty much don't change your board at all unless a wipe happens.
It seems interesting, although it slightly goes against my playstyle to recklessly break things to do anything. I like setting up with ongoings and whatnot, and becoming a utility character. Although I guess things like Harmony would be nearly useless.
And he doesn't have to destroy anything provided the board is clean anyway, right?
Right, the damage isn’t dependant on the destruction.
Two words: Bloody Knuckles.
I'm aware of that interaction.
Funk Strike: Deal Mr. Fixer and one other target 1 toxic damage.
Call it Disco Inferno and make it fire damage and I'm in.
It has to have "strike" in its name, or else Overdrive won't work.
Darkwatch fixer is a favorite of mine as I use him after characters with risk cards like the extremely potent but dangerous hunter and hunted so chrono can do all his stuff and fixer removes the risk to do his damage. I also use him before heroes with utility cards: milking damage from a ground pound after the villain turn but before Haka is satisfying without being too damaging. And believe me if you can get jack handle, grease monkey fist and harmony other players suddenly become generous with their stuff allowing you to pretty much do the equivalent of a rampage without the drawback. Irony is Darkwatch Fixer is extremely good with standard Setback: use risk and then let fixer get your ongoings to the trash if they happened to be dangerous. If all else fails fixer has plenty of equipment and ongoings in his own deck to fuel his bitter strike.
While I prefer Regular Fixer I must say that DW Fixer makes much better use of Riveting Crane.
DW turns a damage-based support hero into a Carry, he needs to be fed, but his damage is almost untouchable.
I find it to be quite rewarding. I guess I just don’t mind recklessness!
Well, it would be quite suprising if you did, really ;).
