I recently purchased SotM and fell in love. I love thematic games that have fun game play and I primarily have been playing solo, so I look forward to future game nights with friends.
Tonight I decided to sit down and try out Omnitron after beating Blade on advanced mode a few times. Many games have been close but so far Blade has been taking a dive more often then not.
Enemy: Omnitron (Non-Advanced)
Location: Megalopolis
Heros: Haka, Ra, Wraith
Players: Solo
Having never played against Omnitron I opted not to look through his deck and went with 3 heros I felt like I know well enough to be able to focus more on making sure I got enemy interactions correct. Over the course of the game I only recall making one mistake that I needed to go back to correct so I think it turned out well as far as following the cards goes.
Things started off well for our heros. I saw 2 cards that scared me as the first 2 to flip onto an empty board. Technological singularity* and Sedative Flechettes*. 4 damage and the knowledge that Wraith was going to need to keep her lazer eye out for any singularities was a fine deal for the start of the game. After a good many turns that go back and forth, I let 2 monorails hit Omnitron, Wraith, and Haka to stave off a more devastating Electro-pulse Explosive. I look at the math and think that we should be ok since Haka has a fist full of cards and a huge punch coming, as well as Ra's Fire blast. Then there was a hostage situation![cry]()
. Omnitron plays a drone and then resurrects another to heal him up and dish us down to:
Haka: 9
Ra: 6
Wraith: 7
I check how many cards remain in Omni's deck. Just 2 left, and I knew exactly the 2. I knew what they were because I put them there with Wraith's ability. I run a quick calculation... Ya I think I still got this. Wraith saves the people on monorails and slams a dagger into a drone. Then she uses her Razor ordinance to rip through a the other drone. Ra blasts Omnitron with his staff while Haka uses his large stick to finish off a whirling drone and slam into Omni while they tried to save the hostage.
Omnitron nearing 10% energy remaining took to the tops of the buildings#. The police stayed down below to escort civilians while the daring heros rushed to the top of the nearest building to try and finish Omnitron off for good. But alas his retreat was merely a ruse to get the heros out into the open. In his rampage his launched a round of tranquilizing flechettes#. Haka Tried to tough them out to his best ability but soon even his tattoos didn't seem to give him strength.
Haka: 6
Ra: 2
Wraith: 3
Then as the heros tried to take cover a black hole# sucked Haka's two grand weapon's, Ra's Staff, and Wraith's body up into a large explosion, sending Haka and Ra to their knees. Wraith was no where to be seen and our other 2 heros had no more strength to carry on, leaving Omnitron to continue his assault on the citizens that remained.
Haka: 0
Ra: -1
Wraith: -11
I am not sure if I could have come back to win after having all the Equipment and Ongoing's ripped away from my troops but I loved the fact that because the heros had to head to the roof top Omnitron was able to finish them then and there. Great story! Great thematic! Great game!
*TS- Destroy all equipment cards, Omnitron deals each hero character card 2 lighting damage for each equipment card belonging to that hero destroyed this way
SF- Omnitron deals each hero target (H) plus 1 projectile damage, Destroy all hero ongoing cards
