Skyscraper, Bloodsworn Champion!

Games Sentinels of the Multiverse

Okay, so she never technically got the "Champion" title, but she did embarass the crap out of Kaargra Warfang this weekend. ;)

First round, we had that title card that makes it so that whenever you do damage to a target, the next damage that hits that target is increased by 2. After a uick Galvanize turn by Legacy, Skyscraper started out strong with a Tectonic Chokeslam (favorite card name ever), dealing TONS of damage to pretty much everyone. She then clapped, dealing even more damage to just about everyone. She easily got the title card and won us a ton of points (6, if I recall correctly) in one turn.

After that, it was just kinda mop-up. Kaargra flipped twice thanks to "Get Back In There", but we took her down without much fuss, and the Canister took care of her minions, especially once she went Tiny and started picking them up to be placed back down again. Twice she placed a Link on Kaargra that made her discard the top card of her deck, and both discards were Fickle Fans. Once the second FF was in the Trash, we knew we could go for broke.

Meanwhile, KNYFE was doing insane damage, and Ra was keeping the heroes from being hurt by the gladiator who does fire damage that keeps the target from doing damage for a turn. We got out to an early lead, and it never felt in jeopardy. When it was, KNYFE or Skyscraper would just kick into high gear and get our comfortable lead back.

I've always enjoyed Skyscraper, but I've always kinda seen her as a one-size-or-the-other character, wherein I play her based entirely on what role I want her to take. This time, I played to the cards I had, and it was a ton of fun. It felt a little like a Chrono-Ranger placing bounties that allowed him to drop tach-nukes on the battlefield.

So much fun.

Another convert to the church of playing what you have.

I have to say that a lot of the credit goes to my wife, who, when faced with me saying, "I can do this, which will do a ton of damage to all the bad guys, but will do 3 damage to all of us...", said, "Hell yeah. They're just hit points."

That is the greatest lesson any player can learn.  They are just hit points.

5

True

6

Ah, yes.  The only hit point that matters is the last one.

7

The only hit point your hero really needs is the last one.

Unless you're Fanatic, or one of the Sentinels.

8

Man, Ronway sure has hacked a lot of accounts today.

9

The only hit point that is needed is the last hero's last one.

It was pretty funny, since KNYFE was also damaging heroes here and again, and all the healing we had was an eventual draw of Motivational Charge. It was fun to imagine Kaargra ringing the bell to start the combats, and Skyscraper immediately going huge, chokeslamming Kaarga and then clapping to shake the entire arena. I mean, Kaargra played "Get Back In There" first round, so obviously she was eager to see some stuff go down. :)
