Here's a thread dedicated to my attempt to pick my favorite hero, the hero who I will tend to pick whenever given a choice. Feedback and wagering are both welcome.I plan to determine this through the very scientific method of playing games with all of the characters until one stands out above the rest. Usually solo, but if I can scare up another player or four, I'm always willing to share.
Early predictions for favorite hero: Unity (robot roll call!), Argent Adept (time to get musical!) or either of the guys from Shattered Timelines (to be purchased later). I also potentially like the look of America's Greatest Legacy. I'm also on the lookout for a hero who feels similar to my favorite hero: Saint Walker, from the Green Lantern universe.
My first (solo) game on this long and thrilling (if pointless) quest pit Alternate Absolute Zero, Alternate Bunker and Dark Visionary vs Omnitron at Insula Primalis. I actually lasted nine turns (Dark visionary lasted eight) but only managed to damage Omnitron for 34 points.
I may not have been using the decks right, it seemed that only Absolute Zero was doing much damage. Bunker saw one damaging power card, but it was quickly wiped out with a Singularity. Visionary only dealt damage via one shots. Oh well, maybe if I had done more deck manipulating somehow.
So far, only Absolute Zero (called Sub Zero throughout the game) has impressed me a bit. But, who knows what my future plays will bring?
Side question: Do you use the number tokens provided to represent damage or to represent remaining Hit Points? I tried both ways and decided that I prefer they represent damage, except in the case of heroes, where I feel like I need to quickly be able to deduce how many HP they have left.
Until next time,
Take care!
