Darkwatch Setback Variant Unlock Hunters!

One thing I thought I would throw in there....it's possible that the "Fixer dies to to Chairman"-fu could just be handled by a pre-condition that you already have DW Fixer, either just unlocked or potentially on the team.  I just mention this because A) fighting Chairman sucks, and B) it really does seem like having to do that as part of Setback's unlock would be kind of re-treading DW Fixer's unlock, and I don't think they'd do that.

 

From the wiki regarding DW Fixer

> The hero team known as Dark Watch has gone through a lot. They were originally formed by Expatriette, Setback, and NightMist who were seeking to uncover the truth behind the events of the death of their friend, Mister Fixer. So, it was a bit of a rough start that the first major threat to Dark Watch was a mystically revived Mister Fixer! They managed to survive and even helped him reconnect his mind and body, so Mister Fixer became the fourth member of Dark Watch, fighting alongside those who risked everything to save him.

What they found, however, was not exactly what they were looking for. They learned of the death of Mr. Fixer at the hand of his old pupil, The Operative, but his corpse had been sent to the fabled Temple of Zhu Long. The three heroes fought their way to that temple, only to be forced to face in combat the very subject of their search. A resurrected Mr. Fixer who knew not the faces or voices of his former allies fought them at the command of the mystical Zhu Long. In the course of the battle, NightMist managed to reconnect Mr. Fixer’s mind to his body, and the four escaped the temple together.

Now, Mr. Fixer fights as part of Dark Watch. There is much unknown about how he returned, and his body seems to be healthier and stronger than before, but he still experiences great, undying rage. He is a harsher combatant than ever before, and the other members of Dark Watch keep their eyes on Mr. Fixer, both concerned for his safety as well as their own.

So if we assume that the Operative death thing has already happened via the DW Fixer unlock, then maybe something like having Setback, Exp, Nightmist, and Fixer on the team, maybe have Fixer die and get resurrected? And then maybe after that Nightmist plays Enlightenment on him? (It's about the only helpful thing Nightmist can do to someone else, and it says she reconnected him).  Obviously you'd need Temple of Zhu Long, but maybe the villain wouldn't matter?  I mean, sure, you could say it has to be Chairman so Operative can kill Fixer, but again, seems like you're redoing DW Fixer at that point.

If he joined DW when expatriette recruited him, that means she sort of "joined" first.  You may need to use DW expat (rather than regular expat) in the unlock.

Attempted Kismet in Rook CIty with Dark Watch (DW Expatriette, DW Mr. fixer, DW Nightmist, and Setback) No such luck.

Ugh, I hate Rook City. 

Baron blade with normal expat setback nightmist and fixer in rook, setback was first, expat got incapped, won, no unlock.

 

I tried this but using the order from the variant site Variants — Your place for all things In the Sentinels Omniverse!.

Expat, Fixer, NM, then Setback. Won, no unlock. 

I did Ambuscade vs Setback, Fixer, Expatriette, and Nightmist (all normal variant) in Zhu Long.

I had Fixer die and then get resurrected, and then Nightmist used Enlightenment on him, and he put Meditation and Harmony in play, and then we won.

No unlock.

Vs. Choke point at Insula Primalis. Setback, Greatest Legacy, fixer, Scholar, DW Expat.

Get Setback incapped via redirected damage from Wrong Place and Time. Silver lining had been triggered. Won the game. No unlock.

Ay records yet of someone unlocking him?

 

one way to find out on Steam is to see the global achievements, as it shows the percentage of people who own the game have it unlocked. I still think it's at 0%

 

though that doesn't show for non-steam users. 

Card art that might help

 

Setback:

 

(only artwork that is currently in the Video Game - If it includes a character (like Revenant or the Slaughter-House Six) that is not in the VIdeo Game currently, discounted for not being possible to use in the Unlock

 

Cash Out - Kismet

Friendly Fire - Tempest hitting Setback

Fumbling Fool - Wraith and Kismet

Kharmic Retribution - Apostate

Looking Up - some thugs and The Chairman

Reckless Rush - Plague Rat

Surprising Fortune - Omnitron - Cosmic? Kinda looks like V from Tactics...

Turn of Events - Ra and Plague Rat

Whoops, Sorry! - Bunker

 

 

 

Temple of Zhu Long

Rites of Revival - From left to right SetbackExpatrietteMr. Fixer, and Nightmist

Weak Heart

 

Wager Master

Unanswerable Question

Chairman vrs Setback, Expat, and Nightmist in the Temple of Zhu - Setback and Expat both incaped, and both raised by the Temple (with nightmist in Mistform and drawing 6 cards every environment turn because of those ones, its really easy to bring people back!) Victory (used Expats incap 1 hp target destruction to finish off the Chairman)

 

No unlock. 

I doubt this has much to do with it, since the art already depicts Setback in Dark Watch gear, but maybe the incapacitated art on his card indicates Expatriette must fall because he does not redirect damage to himself?

Someone on steam got it by using:

DW expat, Setback, DW nightmist, DW fixer. 

Vs

The Chairman in Rook City. 

Heroes must win.  

Fixer might have to strike the final blow on Chairman (and operative?). 

Attempting to replicate now. 

Spite in Rook City with Dark Watch

no unlock

Unlocked. 

DW expat, setback, DW nightmist, DW fixer 

vs 

Chairman in Rook City. 

Heroes won. Fixer incapped. 

Fixer struck final blow on Operative

DW nightmist struck final blow on chairman. 

Not sure if there are any other preconditions. 

Oh, that's it? That seems a bit anticlimactic...

Dark Watch defeated the Chairman at Rook City. No unlock. The following things were different than Braithwhite's game:

1. Did not use DW variants

2. Setback was only hero incaped.

3. Fixer dealt the final blow to both Chairman and Operative.

Failed to unlock.

It may be because I added Team Leader Tachyon in the mix. I also used Setback, and DW Fixer/Nightmist/Expat.

But Fixer did deal final blow to Operative, and Fixer was incapped. Expat dealt final blow to Chairman.

I got it, everyone but DW Nightmist was dead. She got the final blow. Setback took out the Operative.
