So, played my first game with Unity. She's a lot of fun, but I had a question on how her golems work with damage buffs. For example, when agent adept plays his song to add 1 dmg to a target, each golem would count as a target, correct? I can't add that dmg to unity and up all the golems' dmg because they're dealing it, not her. If I wanted to up their dmg, I would have to choose two of them. That makes the most sense to keep her balance. How does that work with someone like Legacy who just does a blanket +1 to all heroes? I'm guess it just doesn't apply to golems, correct? Instead, it would only apply to her cards that say, "Unity deals...." Does she just not really synergize well with Legacy then?

In the Enhanced Edition, Galvanise (and Inspiring Presence) refers to hero targets rather than heroes so yes, it does work with Unity's golems and she synergises incredibly well with Legacy. Champion Bot adds to that so Unity and Legacy can put out even more frightening damage than Unity on her own.

Yeah, it's important to note the distinction between heroes and hero targets.

I thought Inspiring Presence specifies heroes, not hero targets, with the Enhanced Edition? :confused:  Unfortunately, I don't have my cards here - just the proof images from the play test forums, so it could have been updated before going to press.

The "Optimized" PDF says Hero Targets, which would include the Golems… waits patiently for copy to arrive in England

To be clear, I was going off the Optimized PDFs. FedEx says it will be with me in London on Monday. Of course it said it would be here today on Tuesday, so… waits, patiently or otherwise

To confirm, Galvanize, Inspiring Presence, and Imbued Fire ALL enhance ALL hero targets.  Compare this to Flesh of the Sun God, which specifies Hero Character Cards.  That would not protect the bots.

To confirm, can Inspired Repair be used to play a Golem?

That depends. Is Inspired Repair being played during Unity's Play Phase? If so, then no. If it's being played some other time due to, say, Scrap Metal, then yes.
