[catwhowalksbyhimself]

it is, it is, a wonderful thing, to be the typo king.

[abenavides]

Oh wow, sorry. I do monitor this thread and I kept completely missing that it's my turn!

Tachyon plays Lightning Reflexes to get 2 card plays
Then I'll play Synaptic Interruption and Synaptic Interruption (I assume I can use these all at once eventually?)

Finally, I'll use Research Grant to draw 2 cards.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Synaptic Interruption is not Limited, so you can indeed have as many in play at once as you like.

Accelerated Assault: One-Shot,Burst--Tachyon deals each non-Hero Target 1 Melee Damage.
Fleet of Foot:One-Shot,Burst--Each player may draw a card. You may play a card.

The police shoot Voss for a total of 2 hp.  He is now at 12.

A confusing all out brawl in the narrow ally takes place.  Voss runs out of other end, clearly injured and now for the first time genuinely running for safely.  He pauses for a brief moment to issue orders to his fighters above, who strafe the supports of the monorail system about.  The who rail looks like its about to collapse on the heroes below as they emerge from the ally themselves, an unconscious troop of alien left behind and two squads of police following.

This concludes Round 7.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

All damage dealt to Voss reduced by 1 for every Minion in play.  Voss's current reduction is 0.

Voss plays Gene-Bound Bionaut.

Voss Hits Scholar for 2.  He is now at 15 hp.  Voss hits Tachyon for 3.  Would Tachyon like to Destroy a Synaptic Interruption to redirect the damage?  If you use it to kill the Bionaut, it will be dead before it deals its damage.  Don't forget to also discard a card for Research Grant.

[abenavides]

Yep, I discard Fleet of Foot

And use Synaptic Interruption to redirect damage to the bionaut.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

In that case, this concludes what may very well be Voss's last turn.

It is now Expatriette's turn.

[Deaths Jester]

I play Unload and use all four powers on "Pride and Prejudice"...that should knock Voss out with a one point overkill!


"You're days of world domination are over, punk!"

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Sorry, but a given card's power can only be used once on any given turn.  It still works out pretty well though.

So shotgun for 4

Assault rifle for 2

Pride for 2, which also triggers Prejudice for 2

Then Prejudice for 2.

Total damage twelve.  Game over.

Voss doesn't get far before a heavy volley of gunfire from Expatriette brings him down.  He barely survives and is still unconscious when FILTER arrives to collect him for their extra-dimensional prison.  They glare at Tempest as they go.  "Next time, alien."

Voss's fleets and armies, meanwhile briefly try to continue the attack, but they soon start fighting each other as several of Voss's Senior officers lay claim to his throne.  They soon abandon Earth, racing to be the first to lay claim to the home world.

While the damage to the city comes to millions, the casaulties were fairly low.  Tempest is officially declared Mynerian ambassador to Earth and given diplomatic immunity, much to FILTER's irritation.

HEROES WIN!

Good job all.  That went fairly well.  You were lucky that Voss's ships and Lieutenants never came out, but I think you could have handled them.

If there is still interest, I will start another game shortly.  I will add all remaining heroes to the mix, plus the promo variants.  Since there was interest in both Omnitron and Gloomweaver, we will likely play one of them.

Good job saving the multiverse, heroes!

[Glitch Girl]

Whoo! 

Well, that was fun.  I have to admit, I was a little worried about my choice at first, but DANG she got powerful fast.

I'd like to try it again so count me in for a second run.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Wraith (and both variants) are known for not having really useful base powers, but give her a chance to build up and she shines as either a damage dealer or deck controller, depending on what you need.

[Deaths Jester]

Well, I guess I'd say I'm in seeing as I've finally got the hang of Expat.  Thought I'd end up failing with her like I did Wraith in the previous game (never got the better equipment that time) but I think Expat really shined for me.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

For the record, I don't think you failed with Wraith.  You destroyed a couple of nasty environments and got some of her useful weapon cards into play.  Nothing spectacular, sure, but you freed up the other heroes to do their spectacular stuff.

Expat worked out okay too.  I think you underestimated the value of the shotgun though.  It does exactly as much damage as pride and prejudice together and pierces armor like nothing.  Pride and Prejudice are better if you get damage boosts into play against unarmored targets, or stockpile Ammo on them while firing other gun.  Pride and Prejudice worked out well in this particular case.

Odd that most of her Ammo cards were never drawn.  At least you got that Unload just in time to finish things.

I'll start up a new thread and get going on the next game within a day or two.  I have 7 never heroes to throw in the mix, plus all or most of the possible villain and environment option.  Including the really hard ones, if you want a challenge.
