Unity's Power

Does unity's turn 1 equipment into a bot work on Villain equipment? Can she use it to make the villain discard equipment and turn it into bots for her? 

There are not any current villians that have cards with the "equipment" keyword (many have devices, omni has components, some have relics).  If there were, she would be able to sacrifce them to bring out bots

Yeah, any villain cards that would be an equipment card, are called devices in their keyword to prevent such situations. That and device just sounds more devious

Gah!! Those dastardly guys at >G!! I'll get you for this!!!

There is an incapacitated power that G-Unity has that may be to your liking!

What an Odd power

Blowing up a non-character card Device?  Try "awesome!"

The thing is, most Villains don't actually have Devices, so most of the time it's useless.

G-Unity seems to be filled with thematic goodies rather than outright mechanical dominance.  Blowing up an Electro-Pulse Explosive or one of Voss's ships is cool thematically rather than a consistent mechanical benefit.  Unity blowing up villain Devices is something fans speculated about for a month or two when she was revealed in the Kickstarter.  If it doesn't sound terribly fun to you, then I recommend playing her exclusively against villains with Devices or doing your best to keep her alive (which is a game in and of itself).

I'd rather have a specialized, thematically interesting incapacitated power than an innate power that just zaps 4-18 HP targets for free.

Voss' ships aren't considered devices. I know one is a Flagship but not 100% sure what the other is. Though I do agree it is awesome when you're up against Ambuscade, Omnitron, or even Blade.

I wasnt saying her power is bad, or that it should be changed. Its just....oddly specific lol

They couldn't just use "destroy a device card" otherwise people could kill Omnitron with no problem, and that may be a slight problem!

Played with unity again last night. Man, if she can manage to get those bots out then she gets ridobnkullous. I got the cube thing that lets her summon two bots and I got swiftbot on the first turn. 

Had 7 bots out by the end of the game. It was beautiful 

I have you beat, my last game with Unity I used almost every pillar and ended the game with 9 bots (2 raptors, 2 bees, Swift, Champion, platform, turret... and something else, maybe a second platform) I'd have had more but Omnitron used his fletchettes and I had to sacrifice Stealth bot to keep my raptors. Needless to say Unity was ripping apart poor Omnitron without even batting an eye.

I did have a question though. Flash Forge allows you to search for X golems or equipment and allows you to play it, that means you could look for whatever you want correct? Because I used it to get to construction pillars out (I started with a hand compromised almost solely of golems) and that felt like it was an incredibly powerful card

Flash Forge is incredibly powerful, but it doesn't put them directly into play, which is how I'm reading your statement.  It puts them into your hand.  Unless you have Swift Bot, that means you have to wait a turn before you start the Construction Pylon madness.  Incidentally, getting to broken with Unity often involves getting and keeping Swift Bot.

Oops, I knew it seemed like I was doing way too good that game. I was putting them directly into play.

Does that mean I win? 

LOL, maybe, it would have slowed me down, but I had a few lean turns so I might have gotten there.
