I scanned the spectre deck before our first play to get an idea of what my options were: I saw two potential damaging combos; one that boosts the projectile dmg all the way to the whopping 3 on 3 MOBs and one that allowed you to destroy all your equipment cards to do 2xCards dmg. Saw nothing that can help/boost allies.
You obviously didn't look hard enough. The Wraith has the Utility Belt, which lets her use 2 powers a turn. Micro-Targetting Computer, Throwing Knives and Razor Ordinance lets her to do 3 damage to 3 targets, and 5 damage to a target, who may or may not be one of the original targets selected. She can use Stun Bolts to reduce enemy damage, prevent the Hero with the lowest HP from taking damage with Smoke Bombs, stack the Villain deck with Infrared Eyepiece, lower Environment damage with Mega Computer. She has plenty of options for damage and control.
I did scan it and I did see those cards. She can only do 2 dmg combos: the 3 on 3 like you said and the "destroy equipment to do 2 X dmg". Yes I saw them. If you read any of my posts you will see that I did. Problem is you have to FIELD the equipment to do all this. Only once I managed to get the belt + dmg boost + dmg and did the 3 on 3 dmg. Then environment card pops up: destroy all equipment! 3 turns for nothing. Oh... the the drones I dispatched they were back due to Omnitron's ability... Talking about pointless..
But it's ok, I get it now (from all the posts here). If I had X boss and picked X, Y, B and Z heroes that wore a purple T-SHIRTs and we played on the 3rd full moon while the wind was blowing NNW, I would play a balanced game. I get it! Thats what I suspected after the first game which my group gave up after 3-4 turns. Or as it's known to other people: BORKED DESIGN!
You like the game! Good for you!
But I feel the original poster deserved something better than: "Ohh you will like this game cause it has a beautiful artwork (which it does!) and heavy on theme (which it does!)." Yeah? So does a normal comic! Go and buy a comic then! You buy a game because it's FUN to PLAY and not because you will sit there admiring the artwork!
