Based on the new challenges, it seems that K.N.Y.F.E. will be the nemesis of Progeny rather than the Scholar (at least I think the general assumption among non-playtesters was that the Scholar and Progeny seemed like a natural nemesis fit?) and the Scholar will square off against Biomancer...that one IS completely new to everyone, right? I'm not just missing something there?
I would hope K.N.Y.F.E. wouldn't be Scholar's nemesis.
Interesting... I've never heard about this Biomancer character before, but looking at the icon for the achievement we've definitely seen him. White hood, orange face with a square jaw... After work I'll have to find the card. I KNOW I've seen that face somewhere before...
Wait, where is Biomancer referenced?

Find The Scholar's section in the achievements.
Got is. Isn't that the guy on Sucker Punch
Yes, yes it is. I wish I was on my computer right now, it took me forever to load that thing up.
Also Slaughterhouse Six is hte name of Ambusacde's team and the Challenge Modes look insane (Akash immune to all non hero damage!) That might be the default way to play Gloomy now
So much new info over the past few days!! Man, I really love this kinda thing. I really do.
1) I've said this numberous times here on the forum. We will see body-doubling robots. We first saw a bit of this in Argent Adepts deck, and the idea was solidified by art in Tactics. Scholars nemesis Biomancer (as seen in Tachyons card Sucker Punch) is the guy creating these things. I would have pegged that guy as a Unity nemesis personally, but Homunculus has ties to alchemy so it makes sense.
2) Some interesting "primary nemisis" listings for sure. Untiy Bunker and AbZero, as said by Christopher a few days ago, already have their primarys in the game. Unity being the primary of Iron Legacy though is realy interesting. Thats something Id like to know more about. Visionary have the Primary nemmy of Toy Master (when there is no nemmy symbol in the card game) is also interesting and I wonder if that is something that could be changed in the future. Also, look for Operative to be the main villain of whatever deck turns into the ninjas/assasins themed deck with Heartbreaker.
3) There is a "sinister six" type team just like we all speculated about called the Slaughter House 6. Look for these guys to be the ones formated into Vengeance type decks.
4) Adam, those covers are awesome. My favorite by far is the Baptism by Fire cover. So great. You're the man. Don't believe those things Christopher says about you.
Prime Wardens #25 Breaking Point:
THAT IS DARK VISIONARY PEOPLE!!!! I'm freaking out a bit.
Also Legacy #202. man.
Looking forward to playing Kismet and Ambuscade.
Not so much Cosmitron. First turn ouch.
I hope these challenges make their way into the video game. Things like that are great when you unlock something cool or get points for bragging rights.
Once I got into the villains document, I had one other thought --
I think we've finally seen Ryan Frost's face!!!!!!!
(Christopher, is that really it, or is that a decoy?)
I'm right there with you! That would be fantastic.
I figured it out (although of course I’ve been ninja’d by now) and it is definitely the sucker punch guy. Note, whether that’s actually Biomancer or just a homunculus is still up in the air, but whatever
Everything we have learned about nemeses has been added to the spoiler list. It's out in public, after all.
Also, the unknown character art speculation thread needs to be updated.
What page?
12, I think. Right next to the Wager Master's entry. You can see Guise's foot in the background.
Yeah that is Ryan Frost's face, great explanation for that picture too, but you have to wait for that.
Thread updated.
So we're discussing the challenges in general in this thread now yes?
I want to see Setback in a villain challenge with Cosmitron, or any environment that uses 
, particularly Wagner Mars Base and Self-Destruct Sequence!
