EXPERT CAMPAIGN Scenario 1 | Bishop Vs. Unus | Age of Apocalypse

[@psovitzky]

Yes! Bishop is SO fun. I am using your Justice deck and a leadership magik deck to go through the box. Not campaign yet. Still trying to learn how things work. So far Unus was pretty easy (standard after all) but four horsemen are not super easy. They activate constantly!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Really cool to hear you’re bringing this Bishop deck 😁 excited to hear your take on this box after you finish it but I totally agree with Bishop being fun. He’s totally the highlight of the box for me which is tough to say since I really enjoyed Apocalypse

[@OresteGamba]

Awesome gameplay! Thanks for the video!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks Oreste 🙏🙏🙏

[@EarthTwister]

Age of Apocalypse looks like so much fun!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

It’s a blast!!!

[@jurassiczombies7363]

Really enjoyed this one! Unus is a cool villain with the gene pool permanent and this is the first time I’ve seen the missions in action. It’s an interesting mechanic

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Glad to hear, Daniel! Yea I’m loving Unus and Gene Pool. Missions I’m not so big on, but maybe that will change!

[@jurassiczombies7363]

@@webwarriorfanatic What is it about the missions that didn’t do it for you?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@jurassiczombies7363 the biggest thing is the rewards. If I’m essentially removing my allies from the game to do these missions, I’d want a reward better than a 1 cost upgrade that I opted to not accept :/

[@jurassiczombies7363]

@@webwarriorfanatic that makes sense. Coincidentally I also just saw your Reddit post before you replied. I think if you look at missions as an extra challenge in the campaign mode it’s not as bad. As in you’re not trying to get a reward but trying to avoid a consequence. But I remember playing the mad Titan campaign and I really enjoyed the buffs you get from completing the challenges so the new box missing that could be a negative. Not sure how I’d actually feel though since I haven’t played AoA.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@jurassiczombies7363 that’s probably a better mindset to have haha. Yea my only reference is the Mojomania campaign and the rewards there were sooo good getting an upgrade/support in play to start the next scenario with. Probably because of that I found this one underwhelming. But also that reward was really easy to obtain 😂

[@JJEMcManus]

Nice 👍 also nice 1K 👍

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks JJE 🙏🙏🙏

[@guarism0]

Cool, I'm liking this box, still hoping for my LGS to get it this week 🤞🏻. I'm wondering if Bishop can rush.🤔

[@webwarriorfanatic]

I’m hoping for you too!!! I think Bishop would be a strong rush hero even though I’ll probably never play him that way 😂

[@TheBearDrew000]

Whats your thoughts on the mission side scheme?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Not my favorite. It’s a little too tedious, not enough tie into the scenario, and rewards are lackluster :/

[@mcandyr]

I’m definitely sad there was no expert 3 to go with standard 3, but I also like how much you can pair the different standards and experts to really hone in on a difficulty

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Expert III would be great! Something with more synergy with Pursuit counters would be interesting!

[@andrelisandrulionelis2493]

Well it seemed real easy though, means the box itself is on the weaker side :/

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Box is definitely not on the stronger side but I do feel like Unus with the missions is a challenge!

[@manlok6687]

Why you don’t block the attack with professor X, seems like that is a waste for colossus toughness

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Gene Pool adds 3 threat everytime an ally is defeated by anything other than consequential damage! So I wanted to avoid chump blocking whenever possible.

[@Bugnone21]

@@webwarriorfanatic Isn't ProfX defeated regardless cause it's getting discarded by his "end of the round" effect? Thanks, and good gaming! :D

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@Bugnone21 thank you! And yes really good point I should have been more clear-the wording on Professor X says he gets “discarded” and that’s different than “getting defeated” so he still avoids adding threat to Gene Pool. There’s a ruling that when a minion is discarded through player card effects, it bypasses their “when defeated” effects if any because it’s not considered to be defeated!

[@Maxoratus]

Well played ! I was not a big fan of side missions when announced. Seeing you play, well, it confirms all my thoughts. What a complexity/cost (4 allies, milling deck…), slow tempo….to get this lame reward when you have everything already setup for the last hit… Don’t understand the idea of FFG on that.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks Max! Yea I feel that. If the reward was outstanding I would totally be down delaying the game to defeat the mission but at this point it just feels bad :/

[@Mordred41407]

I definitely felt the slower pace, but I focused on clearing the missions first so I got more out of them over the course of the game. You do get a boon for the rest of the campaign as well. I like them better than a lot of the other campaign gimmicks.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@Mordred41407 I felt the boon a lot more in scenario 5 because I was able to allocate allies to clear the mission a bit earlier. Can definitely see that!
