Does anyone have a handle on the difficulty of the heroes in Shattered Timelines? Maybe on the 4 point scale.
Kismet is a 2 or so, the Dreamer is a high 2 or low 3, La Capitan is a solid 3, Miss Information is a high 3 or low 4, and Iron Legacy is a solid 4.
Cool, thanks!
Interesting. A nice spread.
Would/Can you say Iron Legacy is a tougher fight than Chairman and Matriarch
His games rarely last long, so if nothing else I find him much less tedious than The Organization or The Matriarch.
Yes.
So many times, yes.
I think that Iron Legacy will prove harder than The Chairman or The Matriarch in the sense that there will be fewer winable games. If you don't get the right cards out early, you can very quickly fall so far behind that there's just no coming back.
I daresay the Matriarch has a lot of "right cards" associated with her as well. But Iron Legacy is no slouch - probably harder, but they both have weaknesses.
To the OP, my interpretation is something like
Kismet - 2, maybe a 1.
Capitan - 2-3.
Miss Information - 2-3.
Dreamer - 3.
Iron Legacy 4.
The difficulty numbers that I'll be displaying on the expansion's oversized villain cards will be:
Kismet: 2
La Capitan: 2
The Dreamer: 3
Miss Information: 3
Iron Legacy: 4
I got these numbers from a pretty reliable source...
Iron Legacy is quite possibly the single hardest villain to beat in the game. Sometimes I've played games where he takes each hero down to half health in the first villain turn.
Miss Information is not a 2; no way in hell. She's at least a solid 3.
Kismet is a low 2, but with the right combination of cards (Karmic Disjunction, Lady Luck, and Inconceivable Obstruction) she can pack quite a wallop.
La Capitan can be pretty hard. Her crew is all very powerful and annoying, and especially on advanced she takes a while to whittle her health down.
Dreamer is probably a 3. Some of her projections are downright brutal, and you can't even START to win until you clear the board, which can take a while with certain setups.
Visionary herself? Awesome. Glad to know she stays in touch with us mere mortals that are dependant upon linear time.
People have been saying that, but I'm not sure. I'd really like him to be the hardest villain to date. Maybe it's because I played early builds of him and haven't played the final build, but The Organization still seemed like the harder foe. But I'm not denying he's really challenging. His advanced mode certainly is the most difficult thing ever.
Chances are once I get my hard copy of ST and play the final build of Iron Legacy, I'll come back here and agree with everyone that he's the hardest. I mean, I could do it now, but I don't feel like printing the cards again and such. I'd rather wait.
Exactly my thoughts Evan, I also only have played the ealier build and he was difficult but i didn't think he was too difficult. I think as soon as I get my hands on a copy I will open it right up and take on Iron Legacy because I am insanely curious how much more difficult the guy has become.
