Hey I'm the guy that knocked him out! He runs an Etsy shop with sweet sweet acrylic stuff. Curled paw creative.

Cool. So is the list as hard hitting as it appears from is list?

It CAN be. I did a good job of fighting bossk in a position where he didn't get to fire off the entire chain of attacks often. When I was out of position, I was fortunate enough to have my rolls get me just close enough to sacrifice a shield, stop the full chain in its tracks. With all the defensive tools defenders have, it was easy enough to fight from the upper hand.

Flying vess off the table with only his shields gone was a misstep, but I flew my face off to pull it out.

Does sound like a small amount of luck is needed to survive the firepower of this list is needed in order to win agianst it. Congratulations on your victory sir
