Heroic Infinitor vs. Argent Adept, Captain Cosmic, Sky-Scraper (her image isn't shown on the cover) and Chrono-Ranger in the Time Cataclysm.
My goodness, this one was insane! Argent Adept has an absolutely attrocious deck order (I suggest using an early instrument card to shuffle it) and it will be a brutal slug most of the way.
I got Mint, but only barely. I had to tank for several turns at the end with lucky draws from Sky-Scraper and even had Constructs in play as extra targets to absorb damage towards the end. I had to wait for the final card of Infinitor's deck (Whispers of Oblivion) to get the win (as it is the easiest way to take out all the Manifestations in one foul swoop on his starting side).
The Time Cataclysm deck order is incredibly frustrating too.
Perhaps it would have been better to purposefully flip Infinitor? I don't know.
Oh, one thing I was glad to learn: Fixed Point does not stop Infinitor from putting cards underneath his card, thankfully. I ended my final hero turn with only one Environment card between me and victory and I nearly had a heart attack upon seeing Fixed Point, but I still managed to win...
Well Heroic Infinitor makes Manifestations indestructible from the get go so Fixed Point makes no difference. Chrono was my main source of damage as I set him up on the first round to get Masadah and a Temporal Grenade through a Micro Assembler. Then on the next round played a Sudden Contract and had Dynamic Siphon and Autonomous Blade on him so he could laying into the Manifestatioms. The Temporal Grenade came in handy so I could quickly deal with a Surprise Shopping Trip. All heroes (Infinitor included) ended the game in the teens.
Mint, my first ever win with Fixed Point in play! Also won on the last card in Infinitor's deck. Game got a lot easier once I drew the cards I needed for Skyscraper's tricks.
Well, that was close. I ended the game with Fixed Point in play, on Infinitor's last card. If I had reordered the damage, I could have won with Chrono at 1, and everyone else 0 or below. When Cosmic Crest is tanking Twisted Miscreations by virtue of being the highest HP hero target, you know you're dangerously low on health.
Also, have I mentioned how much I love Heroic Infinitor's victory pose? I find it hilarious for some reason.
Also, Heroic Infinitor, Kaargra Warfang, and Gloomweaver are the only villains that can be defeated while Fixed Point is in play.
Uh, yep! Her win condition isn't checked until the start of the Villain Turn. Destroy the Projections during the Hero turns, Environment plays Fixed Point, Heroes win!
I thought everyone was valuable between what they could setup. Chrono was the primary source of damage to the Manifestations in my game with his Masadah.
I played Dynamic Syphon and Micro Assembler on AA to get mint. It was bonkers (and took many many taps). AA shot the Syphon with scherzo, Chrono shot it with Bow, and shopping trip triggered it about 10 times. Cosmic and AA worked together to keep it healed. I bet AA used over 100 powers.
My win screen looks a lot like yours, OP. Minted, but it took about three rounds too long. Atlantean Throne Room came out and I went, "Yay, Thorathian Monolith will save us!" And then the Fixed Point showed up and everything was terrible. :C Another round of Infy playing all of his one-shots went by. But at least I got those extra rounds of Dead or Alive healing in?
Other than Chrono not being great against Heroic Infinitor, this was pretty fun, if harrying.
I probably didn't play Arget Adept optimally (I rarely feel like I do), but I used him as a healing machine. Harp, Inspiring Supertonics, and Rhapsody of Vigor with Dynamic Siphon kept everyone's HP up (including Infinitor's).
Cosmic Crest was helpful, it was fun playing Compulsion Canisters to have Manifestations damage each other, and Chrono-Ranger used the Masadah.
Like others, it was the last card in Infinitor's deck that ended it.
All heroes left with either 7 or 8 HP. (even Infinitor!)
Never saw Rhapsody of Vigor, so used Vernal Sonata and Emergency Evac to do what little healing I could. Seems like all of the one shots are at the top of the deck as by the end of the third round all of the Manifestations were at 0 or below. I luckily played Thorathian Monolith just before Surprise Shopping Trip appeared which meant loads of FastForwarding as nothing happened.
Well, until I played Aggression Modulator on it. It only did the rounds three times, but very sweet.
Yes, I'm an idiot. I did "try" and play Aggressive Modulator on surprise shopping trip, and must have done damage to only the heroes. Must learn to watch what is going on rather than frantically pressing the fast forward button.
I wish I'd thought of this, things might have gone a little better (not that I was hurting for damage done by the end). I just sort of had no idea what to do with Sky-Scraper in this one.
