How does Guise's copying and stealing work with the Sentinels?
Specifically their signatures and Sentinel Tactics. Are both the individual heroes' names and "the Sentinels" replaced by "Guise", or just one of those?
Those instances would all be replaced by Guise instead. It would require some setup but he wouldn't often get much use out of Sentinel Tactics. Edit: Though with Blatant Reference out he would be able to use his base power each hero turn. Hmm..... guess I have another Shenanigan to add.
Or any other power he was given, such as Cosmic Weapon. Combine with Barbarbarian for even more damage.
The other shenanigan is Caliginous Form + Human Shield. Caliginous Form isn't as good as Total Beefcake, but it doesn't cost you an extra play like Total Beefcake does.
Just thought about thist, if the card for Medico is out, Guise won't be dealing any damage, instead he'll be healing people.
Here’s a good one: guise the barbarian, blatant reference, and I’m that guy, while the sentinels have Hippocratic oath. 3 healing every turn.
Beefcake and Caliginous form should stack. (we won't find out for sure until a ruling is passed down)
If they do Guise can really rock the Sentinel's setup.
Also consider Sentinel Tactics.
The first time one of Guise deal damage each turn you may use a power.
Uh, yes please.
For Clarity:
The Sentinels
Idealist
Writhe
Mainstay
Dr. Medico
These are all names of heroes, all would changed to Guise.
Wait, what? Their character cards wouldn't change at all. Not sure if thats what you meant.
No, I mean on an ongoing card. If an ongoing card says "when The Sentinels" and Guise uses "Uh Yeah, I'm that guy" on the Sentinels, the text copied to "Uh, Yeah" would change "The Sentinels" to "Guise."
And for Hippocratic, why not go ahead and borrow a Jackhandle before attacking. . .
This goes without saying. But I like the way you think!
but wouldn't guise heal all non-hero targets if he stole the jackhandle while copying hipocratic oath?
Nope!
The real question is what would happen if you stole Jack Handle, and then copied say… Tempest's base power?
And even if that didn't blow up the world, how about copying grenade launcher? 3 distinct hits.
Jackhandle + Squall:
You would deal damage to all non-hero targets (Squall), so you choose the first target to be hit, and turn that damage into all target damage.
Then you pick the second target for Squall to hit, and turn that into all non-hero target damage.
Then you pick the third target for Squall to hit. . .
and so on until Squall runs out of targets to aim at.
I actually mark which ones I've aimed at in these cases.
The first time I ran across it was with Writhe's attacka target, that target attacks all non-hero targets. (Writhe Attacks Fixer, who goes crazy)
Similarly Jack Handle you would pick a target for Squall, then Crowbar would hit a second, repeat the same way.
And, because of hippocratic oath, all of that turns into healing...
OOOOOHHHH MAN.
