I tried the solo thing last night. It may not have been the best time to do it, and I kept missing stuff (mainly things villains could do on their turn), probably because it was, you know, gone midnight so my brain probably wasn't working too well ;). Anyway, tried two games, everything chosen randomly via die-roll - that is, my hero, the number of incapacitated heroes assisting me, their identies, the villain, and the environment.
First up I rolled Nightmist, assisted by Ab-Zero, Expatriette, and Legacy (rolled in that order so that's the order they took their "turns"), versus Omnitron in Megalopolis. Well, Omni's first card was one of those 15hp-electro-zappy-things. Ouch. But one of my starting cards was Mistform which I promptly played. Kept that in-play for a couple of turns before realising that actually, I'd better just start playing stuff before Omnitron got a whole army out against me, since by then he'd also drawn an assault drone thingy and a repair drone. Clearly I didn't really think this through properly as the electro-widget of course zapped me at the start of Omnitron's next go, removing about half my health. Rooftop Combat was also in play from the Environment, which was good in that it meant nothing else was gonna be drawn, but bad in that it meant the electro-thingy hit me for 16 instead of 15 :P. By Omnitron's next turn I'd got out the damage-redirection amulet thingy, which caused the electro-thingy to basically kill itself next time around. By this point I think I had about 4hp left or something (from the other drone nibbling away at me), and Omnitron finished kicking my arse a turn or two later. The whole game lasted maybe 15 mins or something. Bleh.
Next up I rolled Ra (assisted by, again, three heroes, who were, again, Ab-Zero and, again, Legacy, plus the Argent Adept) versus the Chairman in the Realm of Discord. Well, this one lasted over an hour (it was about twenty to two by the time I packed up :P). Took out the Operative without a huge amount of bother. All three of my assisting heroes had "One hero can use a power now" as one of their three choices, so I was able to use this to spam the same power three times in a row (since you can use a power once per turn, right? And it was a different hero's turn by then so I could use it again, once for each other hero) and take out the various thugs and stuff. Two portal fiend thingys had come out of the Environment deck and spent most of the game slowly whittling each other down, since for a long time they both had joint second-highest hp, so I just had them hit each other. For a long time they were only doing one point of damage anyway, since there was nothing in the trash pile and there was a distortion out that added +1 to all damage. Anyway, I kept messing up and missing stuff (usually "End of villain turn" stuff) so I'd probably have got my arse kicked a lot earlier than I did otherwise. Ugh that villain is far too complicated a one to face when I should be going to bed, lol. Anyway, Operative went down without a huge amount of trouble. But Thugs and Underbosses kept coming out, so I was having to deal with them or keep taknig damage and/or losing my stuff. I think I hit the Chairman once, for about three damage or something, lol. Eventually I did manage to kill nearly all the minions (I think he just had a couple of Crooked Cops left in play), when the bastard drew a Prison Break card and proceeded to wipe the floor with me (I think I only had about 4hp left by that time anyway).
So yeah…erm, I think I need to work on this some more, lol :D.
That's a point…something that came up in the second game regarding damage dealt by some of the Environment targets. For some things (eg Explosive Bubbles), it says they damage the X number of targets with the highest (I think) hp, where X is the number of hp the attacker has left. In this case, five. So it attacks the five targets with the highest hp. Does that mean it attacks multiple things only if multiple targets are all joint-highest, or does it mean that it attacks the five highest, starting with the highest, and working down the list through second-highest, third-highest, etc?
