Solid play through! I really appreciate that you’re changing up the characters and the missions each video. Only thing I spotted this time was that Mr. Freeze should have technically been getting one more turn each round due to Batman’s Escalation ability. Don’t think it would have mattered though, because you were rolling really well with Supergirl!
I'm really enjoying these playthroughs! There are so many characters to play with in this game, I have trouble choosing a recommendation. Gordon looks like a lot of fun with his various support figure options. I don't remember if Catwoman is available as a hero or not, but she might be a fun addition, as well.
Thanks for making this video. I find the rule book a little confusing/not specific enough so it helps to watch someone else play. When Supergirl first attacked the Hired Guns, she could have made a ranged attack on the back ones even if the one in front was still there. Figures don't block line of sight, according to the rules. Seems odd that you can shoot through another figure but that is how I am reading it. Does that sound correct to you?
I failed on my first try, running out of time with one of the Enforcers left alive with 1 hp, right after the 4th hero took her turn during the 4th turn. Robin whiffed with his Boot to the Head, only dealing 4 damage to Freeze on 10 dice, forcing Batgirl to finish Freeze and ignore the Enforcer. Later I realized that the villains only win if Mr. Freeze is not KO'd at the end of the 4th round, so it seems to me, that technically the game goes past round 4 if Freeze is KO'ed, giving you unlimited time to save the bystanders. Some other things I noticed after finishing. From what I understand, you still need to spent a an icon to do a special action to rescue a bystander after removing entangle, so you would have needed to spend at least 6 icons to get them all, not counting movement need to get adjacent to them. I like the way you play the AI with more human initiative rather than the base rules, makes it more thematic and fun, but the Hired Guns would not have moved 12 minutes in. If an AI figure can attack twice at the starts of its turn, they do, unless they are attacking at a ranged penalty in which case they will spend one action to move before attacking. It would not have made a difference since both Hired Guns would have attacked Supergirl, likely doing no damage and they can't put her under fire anyway. But it does make a difference when it comes to villains, getting attacked 3 times in a row by some of them really hurts. Also, looks like you forgot to account for Escalate from Batman. Not sure how it's supposed to work right now. In the beta/demo from a year ago, it simply meant that the first villain initiative card drawn is played a 2nd time at the end of turn. In the full version it states that first "Arkham" villain card is played again, which would pretty much mean almost every villain gets to go twice each turn if Batman is around, which seems a bit overpowered.
Love this solo playthrough series! Very well made and entertaining. I'm learning a lot!

Supergirl and her cheerleaders combat the Master of Puns.

Happy holidays.
Thanks same to you!
At 31:40 supergirl should have been "under fire" from the hired gun making consecutive attacks at her. Enjoying this series, keep going :)
As stated in the video one of the upgrades for her makes her immune.
14:00 Don't you have to break the entanglement first, then use a special action to free the hostage?
yes, correct
Where do you found those playmat for the Heroes?
They were part of the Kickstarter if you mean the holders for cards etc.
@@FliksTabletopGaming yes... Thank you

I believe the only stipulation is that you can’t use a ranged attack on an adjacent target.

In reality, super girl should be able to just kill everything on turn one, The End.
Not painted! How dare!
There are 96 minis! That's a big undertaking
