Advanced Cosmitron Round 8 begins

Setting down my critical systems will not kill me, information can never truely die

Cosmitron (21) Sentient Dropship

In Play: Not a thing

Trash: Terraforming, Disintegration Ray, Electro-magnetic Railgun, Electro-magnetic Railgun,Technological Singularity, Adaptive Plating Subroutine, Sedative Flechettes, Electropulse Explosive, Technological Singularity, Series 83 Assault Drone, Adaptive Plating, Series 83 Assault Drone, Interpolation Beam, Series 84 Automaton Drone, Series 84 Automaton Drone, Series 83 Assault Drone, Series 85 Repair Drone, Interpolation Beam, Disintegration Ray, Terraforming.

Bottom of Deck: Sedetive Fletchettes, Series 84 Automaton drone, EPE, Series 85 Repair Drone.

*******

Start of turn: Omnitron searches for components, finding none the Sentient Dropship stays around play.

Play: Series 85 Repair Drone enters play, plays Sedetive Fletchettes, which Parse discards with Buffer Overflow (almost like she knows Omnitron inside and out), which plays a Series 84 Automaton drone and an Electro-Pulse Explosive.

End of turn: Omnitron pew-pews "people". Tachyon would take 5 damage, does Setback redirect 6 (5+3 tokens) to himself? Writhe would take 4 (5-Block) and redirects it to Cosmitron for 3 damage (18) or does Setback redirect it to himself? Someone takes 5 damage, Parse, (possibly) Setback or Dr Medico, who?

Decisions need to be dealt with before Omnitron can continue his rampage.

This should be the current Health for the heroes

KNYFE: 6
The Idealist: 5
Dr. Medico: 8
Writhe: 9
Mainstay: 7
Parse: 8
Tachyon: 13
Setback: 8

Sentinels have DR 1. Mainstay has DR 2. Writhe reduces the first damage dealt to him and redirects it. Setback is dealt one extra damage and deals one extra damage due to his Unlucky Pool

I would say from Cosmitron Tachyon and Writhe are the first targets.  The third target would be between Dr Medico and Setback.  Which out of those I would prefer Medico take the damage. Cosmitron would have 3 damage redirected to him and then Writhe would be the target for the Automaton drone which would deal him 5 net damage.

Powerhound, your analysis sounds good to me. I don't think it makes sense for Setback to take any of the damage (at the cost of Unlucky tokens).

Will we be able to clear the board this turn? Tachyon's two Lightspeed Barrages for 14 each should help a lot there: One for the EPE, the other for Cosmitron.

I can either take Cosmitron down to below 10, or clear the drones and put both Cosmi and EPE in Lightspeed range

The second option seems more reliable, although it seems like we'd win either way.

Bear in mind that Cosmi does not need to have all devices destroyed like regular Omnitron, you just need to stop its core programming.
