I don't hate Premier Claire as a character, no. I just hate the fact that she's beaten 2 characters who are outright better than her (Mysterious Mask, Billy) to get to this point of the bracket, and...

If there is any justice, Wesker will win this round, and he definitely has my vote. He does EVERYTHING better than Claire: shop rushes (2 dec as opposed to 6), survives (triple-digit health over...

I think what people tend to forget about Claire is that she effectively has no late game. By turn 20 or whatever, who cares if she's getting 40 additional ammo with her hand? How many more weapons...

Not me. I'm going with Mask. Claire's fine and all, but she suffers from too much: 70 health, less relevant abilities in the late game, not enough oomph overall... Mask just has her beat. She always...

Hunk vs. Billy is pretty close. I think I have to give it to Billy though, mostly based on longevity. The Reaper's still pretty new to the fold, and while he is very good (one of the best rushdown...

Both Mark and Chris are great with the proper pools, though I think Mark has a lot more focus in his strategy. The problem is that his strategy can be shut down fairly easily considering EVERYONE...

Wesker, easily. Premiere Barry is great, and definitely one of my favorite characters for playing aggressively. But Wesker just has too much going for him. High health total, cheap shop rush ability,...

This one's close, but I'm going with Jill. Neither are anything special overall, but I'll at least give Jill props for being one of the best 1v1 characters, and she has a respectable health total....

Definitely Barry. Not really close either.

I have to ask... What is so great about Boundless Battlefield? As opposed to other trash cards like Quirk of Fate and (especially) Ominous Battle, that is.

I was originally going to add that Story is the only mode used for tournaments, but that's actually not the case. The Win-a-Mat tournaments from GenCon 2012 were actually all Partners, because (if I...

The thing about Partner mode is that it's just that: a different mode. It would have its own tier breakdown, much like Outbreak (Excella is probably still top, along with aggro characters like...

I guess I can agree about Jill vs. Krauser, if nothing else. I forget that Krauser has one drawback in this set that no one else really has: a much more difficult time getting rid of Reliable Blades,...

Glad to see a list finally come together. In looking over it, I don't really disagree with too much of it, but I am curious about a few placements, so I'd love to hear the reasoning.

Why So High?...

Nooooooooooope. LIN Chris pretty much rules. One of the best characters of all time.

I think he was agreeing to that, actually. At least, from what I gathered, Evilbear seems to understand the concept of drafting. Either way, I... kind of agree, but I'm not sure there's a way to do...

No, it doesn't work that way. Green Herb specifically states "You can trash this item...", which means it has to be trashed using its own inherent effect. Trashing it another way (i.e. Shattered...

Oh, I could spoil my vote for that one... but then I'd have to kill you. But I don't want to have to do that because I love the game you design. :)

Anyway, gotta give it to Becca for today. Cheap...

Leon pretty much dominates here. His abilities always generate value, and he's next to unbeatable with Gathering Forces. David, on the other hand, is borderline unplayable.

From Page 1 of the Mercenaries FAQ:

Q: So this skill reduces any instance of damage by 10?
A: Yes, no matter what the source is.

As with other abilities, "can" only implies once per turn, so yes, if you buy 4 cards in a turn, you can move one to another player's discard pile and the other 3 are yours.

Sheva's Level 1 is still useful, always, but even with rifles, she's still not beating Ada once she reaches Level 2. You're right, it's not a contest.

Got a few questions that have come up about the new cards recently...

1) Giant Killing Lv.1: Does this reduce splash damage, i.e. Nemesis?

2) Medic Lv.2: If you heal your character while at...

Even one Fierce Battle is enough to get him a justifiable hand. That's 80 damage without a weapon, or 95 with, say, two Ammox30s, a Riot Shotgun, and 5 random cards. True, Krauser's drawback is...

Love this app! I have a suggestion or two though, if I may, plus a glitch I noticed this morning:

1) I believe you already mentioned control over your resources, so this may just be another...
