A over stressed suggestion

By kyten44, in X-Wing

I just wish that Black Market Slicers would let you roll dice equal to the number of stress tokens and remove damage equal to the number of hits rolled. This would help it nuke Dengaroo if the Dengar player overused Zuckuss/Overclocked but otherwise remain fairly ineffective.

OMG! Scum beat Rebel's at Worlds. We have to nerf then more!

That's what a lot of you sound like. I guess after Zuckus it will be time to go after Manaroo and then Mindlink and then......

If my X wing's viewscreen has a small fault, I don't scrap the X wing!

Stress is not broken, there are certain cards/ships that can bend the rules of the mechanic. Tycho, R3-A2 and Zuckuss are the main ones being discussed as 'broken' and Zuckuss is the biggest one.

Zuckuss is equivalent in effect to a focus token for your attack, except it involves spending 1pt and a crew slot, and gives you stress. So, it's clearly not worth it... Unless you spend (a) 40pts+ on manaroo or (b) a full party bus with 1 green dice and no way of turning around. If you spend that much on the combo, it's fine - especially considering how it still won't hit a defender on average, or Soontir.

A good game mechanic is a hard rule, only bent in a few instances. Look at football (soccer) - you can't touch the ball with your hand - unless you're the goalkeeper. Look at FPS games - a lot of them (e.g. BF1) have 'OP' pickups which bend the rules of gun damage.
