Not sure if creating a topic for the W1Ses is someone’s specific job; if so, I apologize for the usurpation. I’m assuming this forum works somewhat similar to that of several webcomics, where the community just collectively takes on the responsibility of creating a discussion thread for updates whenever they happen.
Whoof, this one was rough. I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed with Baron Blade than I was during the turn when he played Old Tricks - New Allies (for the first time; spoiler alert, there’s another one coming later). Just everything devastating that could possibly happen in this game did, most of it during that one turn. I’m also super-frustrated with the fact that every single time I tried to “handle” Plague Rat (meaning to choose targets for one of his hit-everything attacks, such that he deals damage to each hero and to any Environment target they find useful, then kills his last handler, and then deals boosted damage to all the opponents), one more Handler showed up just in time to ruin my efforts. And the combo of Miss Info’s Twisted Reality with Baron Blade’s Impulsion Beam is a nasty one I’ve never seen before.
I haven’t lost a lot of Vengeance-style games since I started paying attention to the music in the video game. Does the villain-victory song that gets played always correspond to the last-in-sequence of the villains? Because this one sounds like it has to have been intentionally written as a Miss Information theme.
Just don’t play Durasteel Vest on turn 1, or you’ll lose it!
