Review by Stormwolf
Spoiler is a minor character from
the batman series. She got to be Robin for an
extremely short while when Tim Drake couldn't do
it anymore, having had his secret discovered by
his father. But Spoiler didn't do the job up to
Batmans standards, so he got rid of her. On to
the click
Cost~
(R) 15 points, 4 clicks, 0 range,
no team ability
(E) 17 points, 4
clicks, 4 range, no team ability
(V) 22 points, 5
clicks, 4 range, Batman ability
Movement~
All versions of Spoiler
start out at a movement rate of 9 with
leap/climb through most of the dial.
Attack~
starts out at 8 (9 on
the Vet) with no powers throughout the dial
Defense~
starts at a respectable
16, but then falls horribly. On;y power is a few
clicks of combat reflexes
Damage~
A few 2's, then 1's. No
powers.
Sculpt~
Way cool! The sculpt is
easily the greatest feature of the figures
inclusion in the set. It captures the character
perfectly, and is a really nice looking sculpt.
It's one of the cleanest i've ever seen
Final Thoughts~
Spoiler isn't worth
much, this i'll admit. She will not be seeing
tourney time, she'll be avoided in sealed
booster (well, maybe the vet would be used), and
most gamers who must win to have fun probably
wouldn't give her a second chance. Hell, most
would probably take robin, who is more useful
for the points. But with the exception of sealed
booster tourneys twice a month, I mostly do
friendly play. And Spoiler (rookie) has become
my little mascot since I pulled her out of the
booster. She runs like crazy when my wife or
friends try to base up on her, then she tries to
help out during the end-game, when all the other
clicks are worn down. The point is, too often
people who play this game (myself included) will
dismiss a figure because it isn't powerful or
useful enough. My thoughts are, find a goofy
little piece to be your mascot. You'll find
yourself working harder to save that piece than
some of your bigger pieces on the board when you
develop an attatchment to it. But enough
rambling.
Tourney Play~ 1.5 / 5
only if you have
points to spare, and nothing better to use them
on, sadly
Sealed Booster~ (RE) 1.5
/ 5 easy
pickings (V) 2.5 / 5 stealth
is always helpful in this environment
Friendly Play~ 5.5 / 5
hey, i'm a bit
buyist, what do you want???
