Thor, Hero Of Midgard & Loki, Prince Of Lies Revealed ~ Marvel Crisis Protocol Reveal Breakdown

[@travisskane5459]

And here I thought I was done with buying boxes for a little while. 😅

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@travisskane5459 Yep lol, these guys look amazing (both models and stats-wise)

[@loselot6044]

Thor is going to go crazy on OG Captain America's team 2 power Size 4 Long throw will go crazy

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@loselot6044 Yeah that throw is gonna be really strong, and the turn 1 medium pounce on a medium base is big too

[@loselot6044]

@ZetroxWargaming I know. I thought Namor and Shang-Chi looked strong but this Thor makes me a bit concerned for the health of the game

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@loselot6044 I still don't think this Thor is any better than a Hulk, even Namor and Shang-Chi, while strong, certainly have downsides. I think we're seeing a lot of mobility and damage in some of these newer characters which is really strong, but to make up for it they've got much worse defensive tech generally.

[@loselot6044]

@ZetroxWargaming He has throws and a size less push and Namor has a LOT of control tech on his spender

[@PureBrawler]

I play Cap1 and Dorm, so thor2 is going to be online with those abilities every turn and it sounds awesome. Can't wait to try him out. I do like the uniqueness of loki's leadership, at first I thought it was just another by to modify leadership and we already have enough of those but it's a very loki themed twist. All the tactic cards seem very fun, might have to brush off my asgard list to see them in action.

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@PureBrawler yeah Dorm and Cap1 are both gonna be fans of Thor. Definitely loving the leadership for Loki, great twist from the usual reroll ones.

[@shanewalker3427]

This box is so hype. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@shanewalker3427 It's gonna be really fun once it hits, so glad to see Asgard getting some new toys!

[@shanewalker3427]

@@ZetroxWargaming Yep. I was trying to update my Asgard roster over the weekend and there are some difficult/interesting roster choices now.

[@richardanderson6895]

Dormammu welcomes them.

[@ZetroxWargaming]

@@richardanderson6895 Dormammu welcomes all! Thor is probably pretty solid with him, and Loki could be fun for doubling up on skull counting.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

I like these characters. Both seem good without being broken. I am liking Loki more than Thor. I would be surprised if this Thor is Avengers affiliated as they have a 6 threat already and he seems to be very asgard focused, but it isn't outside the realm of possibilities. Overall i think they nailed these characters and I am excited to see the other two.

[@ZetroxWargaming]

They actually explained the lack of Thor leadership as being because he's spending so much time as a hero of Earth (hence why Loki took over Asgard), so I feel like that can only really point him toward Avengers. Do agree regarding the balance, and I also find Loki more interesting, but both seem fun to play and quite solid.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

@@ZetroxWargaming Yeah that definitely leads me to believe it is avengers then. That is kinda crazy considering

[@KainSilencer]

And people complained about og CGR and Malekith. His stats are like Malekith except he has 1 health more for 1 less threat and access to Odin's Blessing.

[@ZetroxWargaming]

Unlike both of the other mentioned models though, he doesn't count skulls offensively or defensively, which is really big for dice averages, so he hits weaker than either model pre-nerf, and dies faster too. He also doesn't have the crazy displacement that CGR has, or the insane mobility Malekith had from turn 1.
