Vampire Lord seems pretty darn good in DTA. or at least, portal crawls. There are caveats - a bunch of her moves are more focused on setup and that's not as useful in this environment, her defense isn't very defensive, and she has relatively low damage output. But the flexibility of Blood Power, especially the heal for all the damage you do at 4? So good. And she has built in CP gain and card draw.

Yeah, we're just about done with a campaign of Vampire Lord, Shadow Thief, and Pyromancer, and that heal is insanely important.

Shadow Thief is me and it's a trip. I spent more status removals pulling Shadows off myself than any negative status, just so I can set it up again same turn.

I'm debating between getting the Gunslinger/Samurai box or the Tactician/Huntress. Which is more fun?

*tap mike* is this thread still on? Oh holy crap - balance fixes for Huntress, Vampire Lord, and Tactician are coming with the Santa vs Krampus box? Looks like you can download them. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dicethrone/dice-throne-santa-vs-krampus e: from Facebook - quote:Huntress: dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jul 5, 2022 |

What up Dice Throne thread! Recent convert and now between my brother and I, we have all but 4 characters (Moon/Bard & Widow/Strange). I too was hoping for unique characters again, but X-men is the next best option in my opinion. My brother was hoping for World of Warcraft class characters though. Who is everyone's favorite character to play? It seems played out, but Cursed Pirate is still really fun. Easy to be strong with and the balance of when to flip is a fun thing to consider. A lot of my friends like Paladin though and I find playing as and against Paladin to be a very frustrating game.

Next two heroes for X-men previewed today: Storm and Iceman. They join Wolverine and Psylocke. I’m assuming we have 4 more to reveal along with some details of the co-op campaign over the next few weeks. Dream list for the next four for me are: Colossus, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Jean Grey (with a board flip to make her Phoenix).

I confess I haven't followed that closely. Not because I'm not interested, but because I'm already all in and will definitely be getting the battle chest, lol

They would be missing a huge trick if there wasn't a Gambit character where you could throw away cards to empower abilities.

As much as I want Gambit, for some reason I think if they already did Psylocke, Gambit is out. Also Rogue with an ability to steal other players’ status effects or something could be neat.

Next two characters to the surprise of no one are Cyclops and Jean Grey. https://youtu.be/GNrjBMSf1ks?si=m9_zesCoC0QhgZle Interestingly, Jean Grey is not quite a board flip character. Instead there is a card to put over the center of the board, but keeping the ultimate the same, when she is in Dark Phoenix form. Also, one of the board game sites posted a preview and mentioned that the last two characters are Gambit and Rogue which will complete the set. (Video is private now.) They are also supposedly doing an 8-box and (2) 4-character boxes. Overall I’m pretty excited about the set. Storm and Iceman both look fun to play. I didn’t get Colossus or Nighrcrawler, but love the theme overall. For folks who did the kickstarter on previous sets, what is the lead time on these once the Kickstarter starts in October?

They go fairly fast. Whatever their estimate is, it's probably going to be good within a month in either direction. Roxley knows their poo poo. I'm obviously in for the full battle chest. And whatever else they want to sell me tbh.

Oof. Triple post time. Leaflet updates for Thor and Spidey just dropped. These may or may not be final. The buffs for Miles seem significant. Nerfs for Thor seem gentle - maybe enough? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1j7io_yKOTXnkvG3j-xC67fxdMoVVDN1d&usp=drive_fs

thor nerfs are really just to how often his guard break can activate + electro tokens for cards I think? not really much of a nerf, he'll still be really good. kickstarter goals look like they'll be adding a fuckton of villains to the core box which will really sell the value of it, there's gonna be probably more than a dozen and a half by the end.

Seems like the retail X-Men is going to use a different form factor than the tri-fold battle chest trays we've become used to, probably to cut manufacturing or shelf costs. Two boxes, four heroes each. So. If you are gonna want it, now's the time I guess? I'm picturing something like the first printing of Dice Throne Season 1 with the flat cardstock boards. Which isn't terrible but it's a huge step down imo.

Two boxes, four heroes each. I saw that too, definitely a worse solution than the awesome trays and trifold boards. I’m sure it cuts down on shelf space a ton if you can have a flat stack of boards, a few tokens, a stack of cards, and 20 dice in a flat box, but one of my favorite things about DT is just how easy it is to grab your character and go. Hopefully they keep the existing battle chest format for future releases, at least on KS.

Yeah - I think this is because this is a Marvel thing with Target presence and poo poo like that. I don't think they're giving up the battle chest for their own properties. I hope.

The discussion I'm seeing elsewhere is that Roxley doesn't have the retail rights for this set (Marvel in general?) and the retail company is the one that decided on the changes. They also apparently plan on continuing to print and (from their own website) sell X-Men Battlechests. Just not at retail.

The Santa vs Krampus set is available again, for anyone like me that missed it last year. Game Night did a play of the new Missions game (a very early version, not final rules or art). Seems interesting, though there is an issue where quite a few cards are useless as they can only affect players and not enemies (which explicitly don't count as players).

dwarf74 posted:Most should work against bosses at least, right? Hope so, lol AFAICT the rules right now say no if the card refers to a player. I think ones that say "opponent" would work? It's obviously a very, very early edition so I'm sure it'll be figured out before release. I haven't played Adventures so I dunno how hard it has been previously to make the game co op.

It seems highly unlikely to me that Missions operates differently in that respect. Part of the point is that your heroes should interface directly with the coop content with what they do without needing them to have special hero specific content just for coop.
