Me and another experienced player showed two other people how to play today. Against Voss in Atlantis things went easily enough that I decided to show them what a hard game can look like. Our second game, therefore, was Dawn on advanced mode on Mars. It turned into a cakewalk! I couldn’t believe it. Won with everyone in double digits. Ra, Tempest, Visionary, and Bunker.
Bizarre… What made it so easy?
One of Visionary’s first plays was to bury the four citizens in the trash back into the Villain deck, so we were never in danger of Dawn flipping to become invulnerable. Visionary also used Precog to great effect multiple times on the Villain deck and once on the Environment deck. Beyond that, I think it was a combination of everybody getting useful cards and Ra, Tempest, and Bunker all being able to dish out a lot of damage. Bunker got ammo drop and the omnicannon early, plus got boosted from Visionary to draw extra cards. Ra had out imbued Fire and Tempest had a lot of one-shots that were doing damage.
