63. Killmonger, Usurper

Now, there are a couple of team tactic cards that come with this young man, those being Killer Luna's Glory and Synthetic Heart-Shaped Herbs.

Have you played either of these? Do you run them regularly? What are your thoughts on them?

I have indeed.

I have tried to make synthetic heart-shaped herbs used so many times.

So that one is, he may spend one.

So it's an active card, unaffiliated.

And he gains the poison special condition when he does use the card.

And it gives him a three cost size three throw at range two for enemy characters or terrain features.

giving him something extra to spend power on is just super, super nice.

The fact that he gets poisoned is probably the thing that hurts most.

Yep.

Now that Spirit of Wakanda has been changed to not being able to pass true power, I think I might try and throw it in again just because that slot is a little bit awkward there now.

Yeah.

No, very fair.

I played it all the time when I was running him, but obviously it was before the updates and his untamed force wasn't as good.

The poison is a bit of a pest, but I just found the one thing he doesn't have in his card is displacement.

It's allowing him to displace the vast majority of models in the game.

And it's also giving you another little chip damage option.

Pick him up, throw him into something else, or throw something at him if they've got two health left and you haven't quite got them.

So I think it's really good value.

But the poison is the downside, right? Because you don't want to spend an action to shake poison.

But hopefully you're generating enough power off his builder and his gainer or people hitting him that you can use the majority of his kit.

Because the rest of his kit's not super expensive, right? Because...

uh three cost spender which is pretty reasonable and then two cost superpowers um if they just kind of ignore him after that and he can't use his kit and you're whiffing on your attacks and it feels kind of sad but yeah i think it's just the one thing that his actual character is missing other than some defensive tech for himself he's just rolling dice with a high health pool um uh yeah i think it's a pretty cool car i recommend re-exploring

100%.
