Episode 7: Cosmic Omnitron

I think I'll go with Fanatic.  I'll edit this with my draw after I get back on Sunday evening.

[Starting Hand--Holy Nova (x2), End of Days, Sanctifying Strike]

GI Bunker

I'll go Ranger.

Can I take Tachyon?

Certainly.

Fanatic, Tach and Crono vs. a villain with DR1 and no damage boosts, this could be fun.

I'm guessing the scenario involves Iron Legacy timeline heroes finding out that Omnitron is running the prison, doing experiments on the prisoners to improve ideas on how to fight superhumans, or use them or something.

I'm thinking Crono is involved in bringing the whole thing together and Fanatic is inside and they rescue her before they face down Omnitron.  As an Alien Tempest might have more trouble getting into and out of the Block than others, and Golem Unity might not be the best hero to bring against a dominating super evil compter.

That's my thoughts on the setting, anyone else?

I'll take Wraith.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that G.I. Bunker's base ability is going to see a lot of play...

I gather we're fighting the Advanced Cosmic Omnitron?

Any thoughts on team order? (Do we get to choose?) Tachyon first, presumably?

I typically like going in randomized order, it makes the game more interesting

Well, I drew my cards. . .

The ultimate Target, The Whole Gang, Kill on Sight, The Masadah.

That's a pretty rieiculous hand to start with.

I hope Omni starts with interpolation beam in play.

Grappling Hook, Utility Belt, Razor Ordinance, Smoke Bombs

Random order it is.  Accelerated assault, accelerated assault, lightning reflexes, and hypersonic assault for Tachyon.

Flak Cannon, Grenade Launcher,Decommissioned Hardware, Auxillary Power Source

Make up my mind. First post says "Price of Freedom Wraith". :p

On the front side, I believe damage dealt to all device is reduced by 1

Barring a good draw from Fanatic, it looks like we're not going to punch through and destroy the components this turn. But it looks good for next turn if G.I. Bunker uses Panzer-Buster. Destroying the components would flip Omnitron; do we want that?

Also, Wraith, you may draw a card with Grappling Hook if you want.

I don't think my turn depends on how Wraith updates her turn, so here goes.

I can take the higher damage (6 from the disintegration ray), altough it does hurt.

HP: 18

In Play: Jim's Hat, The Ultimate Target (Omni), The Whole Gang(S-85 repair drone.

Trash:  Displaced Armory

Additional Effects:  Ultimate Target

So someone hit the S-84 and drop it to 4 or less HP, and Fanatic can final dive and that will clear the field, and we can jack up Omni.

If we reduce the assault drone to 4, we can kill it when the Repai Drone dies with the Whole gang, correct?

Correct.

Just remember it has reduction of 1 on it.

EDIT:  Your assumptions are correct.  I'd save your multi-target damage for after he flips and drones aren't getting DR.  We can probably keep him on that side, so Hypersonic will be valuable for the big damagy thing, and Sonic Vortex if we all lose equips.

I could do Accelerated Assault followed by Sonic Vortex on my turn to damage both Omni and the assault bot, though it would be nice to hot Omni with Hypersonic Assault as well.

EDIT: That is, assuming it works the way I think it does.  If I play Lightning Reflexes, then Accelerated Assault, then Sonic Vortex, the Accelerated Assault would go into the trash after it finishes playing, so it would be in the trash when Sonic Vortex gets played, right?  (But Lightning Reflexes would not be in the trash, yes?)

Phantaskippy, I'm not sure what you're suggesting.  What I have in hand is multi-target damage and Blinding Speed.  On my turn, I'd like to either get a burst in the trash or prevent Omnitron from hurting us with Hypersonic Assault; were you suggesting not to play a card at all?

DPT, I'd say if you want to Accelerated Assault to get it in your trash, I was going to drop Grenade Launcher and hit Omni and the Assault Drone, so we wouldn't need Sonic Vortex this turn unless you really wanted to use it.

I'm just saying those cards have more value after he flips, it's cool geting a burst in the trash, but your good cards are much better after he flips or when the rest of us lose our damage, so throwing those cards just to get the drones here isn't as valuable as Bunker getting them with Gremade Launcher.  I'd still throw a burst just to feed the trash, but don't play multiple cards in this instance when someone else can do it and we can save your really good cards for when they are needed.  

So, correct me if I'm wrong, tasks are as followed:

Get Assault Drone to 4 hp.

Pound on OmniTron.

Fantatic (myself) Final Dives the Repair Drone (which kills the Assault Drone as well, as long as it's at 4 hp), and fling it into Omnitron.

Yep that leaves the field clear and Omni set to flip, and with Agents in control right now we don't have much to fear from the environment deck.

If my math is right, then yes--4 damage total from C-R and 3 from Wraith means the components go *smash*.

We still need GI Bunker to deal net 1 damage to the Assault Drone for the Final Dive trick to work this round...

GI Bunker is planned out.  He doesn't need to use Locomotion, since Omnitron will be flipping and loosing its damage reduction, so Bunker will be deploying and using a Grenade Launcher (barring some better option from Team Leader).
