Shattered timelines comes out friday

Variant unlock guesses, probably incomplete:

AZ: Freedom 6 Zero's ice powers are in overdrive after a bad experience, so: "Absolute Zero incaps himself with fire damage." 

Tachyon: Freedom 6 Tachy is pictured with the HUD goggles and lets everyone else draw cards, so "With HUD goggles in play, play all 3 copies of Fleet of Foot in a single turn."

Wraith: F6 Wraith appears to be using the Operative's weaponry and does Melee damage: "Wraith Incapacitates the Operative with damage from Combat Stance."

I assume Bunker, Unity, and Tempest will have to be incapped somehow to unlock their variants, but I don't have good guesses how. 

Unity incap with all Freedom 5 bots out?

Dreamer's mostly tough because you don't want to use your "all villain targets" tricks. 

Kismet can be as frustrating as Miss Information, if she manages to pull a lot of Jinx cards and gimp your heroes. 

Possibly. Or maybe with Con's Bunker in play. Or both. 

She's wearing Fixer's hat, too. Maybe he'll have to be in play or incapped. 

Golem Unity is wearing Fixer's hat because Fixer is dead - Christopher told me that before the Dark Watch Promos were released. He also said that whenever you see Fixer without having his hat, he's dead. So of course I got very excited when I saw the DW Fixer artwork… and interestingly enough, when I actually paid attention to the art on Meditation.

Iron Legacy just wrecks everyone - whenever you fight him, the game will be short. It's just a matter of who dishes out enough damage first. Fanatic can be very useful if you get the right cards in time(first-turn End of Days, then Wrathful Retribution a couple of rounds later when you're nearly dead).

Kismet I find can be tricky if she gets too many Jinxes out. Lady Luck and Inconceivable Obstruction are both pains in the arse, especially if they both come out at once. The latter is much worse in a high-target environment (and no trouble at all in the Freedom Tower ;)).

La Capitan is another one I find tends to be a bit of a pain, especially if she starts getting too many crew cards out (this can happen fairly quickly).

The Dreamer is similar to Miss Information in that she's easier with a smaller group of heroes. I think she's probably the villain I find most fun to fight from this expansion. And one of the more unusual out of all the villains because technically, she isn't one.

Apparently Friday has come early this week. The timelines have definitely shattered. The iTunes store has it available to update now.

Yup!  I'm downloading it right now!

 

Whee!  Greatest week ever in the whole Multiverse!

Whoops.  That's a new one Apple with the early approval.

Uhh, does this mean we (iOS users) have early access to the variants?

It's released today. https://twitter.com/handelabra/status/692460002452357120

No earlier than Steam and Android which are also out now.

This is gonna have the unlockable Tempest where you nuke one of your ongoings to draw 3 cards right?  Aw man, I was hoping for the variant where you can play 3 cards at a cost of 3 life, and yes I can see the gift horse and he has very nice teeth. :)

That said, are us vidgame users going to eventually get the Prime Warden variants to play with?  4 of them look like very fun variations on their base characters (can't speak for Capt Cosmic since I've never played with him period)

Freedom Six Tempest's innate power is to destroy one of his cards; not just ongoings.

Yes, the Prime Wardens will come to the video game.

 

Awesome, can't wait!  And thanks for sucking up way way way way too much of my last month's spare time!

You're welcome =)

I haven't been able to load it onto my nook HD, unfortunately. I've tried: clearing the cache for Google Play Store, clearing the data from Google Play Store, force closing Google Play Store, verifying that I have enough storage on the device, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, completely powering the device down, and checking for Google Play Store updates (of which there were apparently none). Any other suggestions? I'm anxious to see Jim and O-X in action!

I'm putting my money on the Prime Wardens coming with Wrath of the Cosmos, seeing as that's how it was for the physical game. Doubt we'll see Rogue Agent K.N.Y.F.E. though...

You know, I just realized: Since they're doing Vengeance after Mini-Pack 3, that means we'll be seeing Ominitron IV before Omnitron III (Omniblade).
