End of Villain Turn: He hits everyone for 3 (AZ and Bunker for 4).

I feel like there's a good chance we can kill him by the end of round 3, and that chance goes up if we keep absolute zero alive. I can fire off my cannon twice, for a total of 14 damage. Expat can hit him for 6 damage this turn, and hopefully at least 3 next. KNYFE can do five this turn, and hopefully at least 3 next. I guess, what play maximizes your damage over the next two turns, considering damage this turn isn't going to be reduced?

Well:
I'm going to play Onboard Module Installation and draw a card...because what I can do is going to depend on what I draw here.

Okay, my max expected damage over the next 2 turns (depending on what I draw obviously):
I play Iso Transducer this turn...Legacy hits me for 5 fire damage and I hit him back for 6 cold.
I play Frostbound Drain and hit him for 4 damage next turn, then become incapacitated from the fire damage to myself.
Total: 10 damage (8 with DR), and I'm KO'd. (could be 1 higher)
(Note: if I get KO'd on his turn, I can still activate Expat for 4 damage, or someone else if they can do more...so that doesn't actually change my damage output).

Alternative Plays:
1. I play Frostbound Drain now and hit him for 4 damage unreduced. I get KO'd on his turn, and activate expat next turn. total 8 (7 with DR).

Okay, here's an option (I think?)
I play Null-point this turn. Two possibilities:
1. IL hits everyone first. Then I should probably take a damaging hit first, then heal. My total HP probably ends around 8-9HP.
2. IL doesn't hit everyone first, then I take a healing hit, my total HP ends around 14HP.
Either way, next turn Visionary plays Twist the Ether on me.
I play Isothermic Transducer. I deal myself 1 Fire damage (7 OR 13HP)
I twist the cold to fire+1 and hit myself again for 2 HP (5 OR 11 HP)
Twist to fire+1 hit myself for 3 HP (2 or 8HP)
1. ends: Twist to fire+1 hit IL for 5 damage
2. keeps going: Twist to fire+1 hit myself for 4HP (4HP remaining)
then hits IL for 6HP total.
Which is 4 or 5 damage given Damage Reduction.

That should be able to drop me back to lowest HP again to absorb IL's next hit also if we don't take him out.

So, I can be super-defense with mild offense if I play Null-Point now.
Or I can go down in a blaze of glory.

I'm leaning towards blaze of glory, as I think that's our best bet to win. And if I don't die before my next turn, I could always play null-point then if it's not looking like it will work out...which would keep me alive and absorbing his hits pretty effectively from then on (one fire torching him back, switched with ice to heal me up)
It'd just be nice if we hadn't dropped to <10 HPs already to start the sequence.

The way it's going I guess I'm on board with the blaze of glory plan.

Alrighty then, I'll go with it...

Let's hurt him.

Play Battlefield Experience
Power: Battlefield Experience

This does 3 melee and 3 energy to Iron Legacy but destroys my card. Upon its destruction, I get to draw and play a card. My draw is:

Rolled 1d35 : 16, total 16

Kuildeous · « **Reply #56 on:** September 08, 2014, 10:56:03 am »

I drew Overdo It, which was not that appealing to me before, and it's still not appealing to me now. So I'll play Wrecking Uppercut for 4 damage and the top card of Iron Legacy's deck gets discarded. I believe we don't know the top card, so it's going to be:

Rolled 1d18 : 2, total 2

End result is Iron Legacy should be at 15 HP now, and that one card is in his discard pile. I draw:

Rolled 1d34 : 25, total 25

Kuildeous · « **Reply #57 on:** September 08, 2014, 10:57:28 am »

Ooh, another Wrecking Uppercut to add to my hand.

And Iron Legacy discarded Beat Down (that was lucky, but there's another one in his deck)

Battlefield damage deals 2 melee and 3 energy damage, the Conduit Blade only increases your energy damage.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #59 on:** September 08, 2014, 01:26:00 pm »

Bah, that's true. So I only did 8 damage, bringing him down to 17. I'm not used to KNYFE, especially the partial damage increases.

Former Allies. Each player discards a card. I'll discard External Combustion.

A Drowned Kernel · « **Reply #68 on:** September 10, 2014, 05:09:39 pm »

Unless something terrible happens with his next Villain card I think we have this. End of the Villain turn he's going to be at 10 HP, I think we can manage that much damage this turn.

Dsell · « **Reply #69 on:** September 10, 2014, 05:14:13 pm »

Discarding the only card I have.

Discard Focused Apertures

I'll discard Overdo It.

I expected much worse from Iron Legacy. I've seen him be so brutal. But really I think the good luck of removing most of his Ongoing cards helped us immensely.

And besides, as a group, we lost 60% of our health. That's nothing to sneeze at.

A Drowned Kernel · « **Reply #73 on:** September 11, 2014, 12:11:02 am »

Watching how he plays out, I'm willing to bet that in general when you face Iron Legacy, by the end of round three you've either won or you're dead.

His next Villain cards is:

Rolled 1d16 : 12, total 12

A Drowned Kernel · « **Reply #74 on:** September 11, 2014, 12:14:15 am »

Iron Strike! Deals Knyfe 6 melee damage, and destroys Twist the Ether and Mental Divergence.

End of Villain Turn: Iron Legacy deals Absolute Zero 6 melee damage (putting him at one hp

) and heals 6 health.

The Visionary is up!
