i guess so but then said character is taking TWO unavoidable just saying

Not necessarily. Chthon causes damage when the character is a given an action token, Atum when they make attacks. If you could find a character with the right combo of keywords who could make free attacks (Prime Elsa and HoX Gambit, with caveats)

Also another thing holding Atum back is its decided during force construction. So you don’t have that luxury of switching between rounds or deciding not to use it at all, that character is stuck with it for whatever event you’re playing it on… I don’t think Atum will be the sideline staple that Chthon or Khosnshu and co. are

Does anyone else wish that the marble / white bases for the gods was started in Next Phase so that Khonshu and his friends would have them?

God pack. Does anyone else hope we could actually see a themed booster of gods? It might not be 5 chases, like Notorious Black Lanterns, but it would be super cool to pull a booster with all white bases.

I just watch Edisons Tabletop Gaming video of him opening his brick of Black Panther. He shows us Gaea's dial near the 26:55 mark and she is a beast. 300 points and 11 clicks of life. Lots of pink. I don't know how to code, so I hope someone can add it later.

I don't think any CUR team from this set could take her down. Enjoy the video and be awed like I am by seeing her dial.

She looks great but...shes not worth it, her avatar ability may work with KONG who has colossal willpower but on any other standard animal I dont see it playing out well...
(correction: She would play best with Snowbird)

Mother Nature: SIDELINE ACTIVE - During force construction, you may choose a character with the Animal or Asgardian keyword to be Gaea's Avatar. That character can't be equipped or be chosen to be another character's Avatar. This game lines of fire drawn to that character are hindered, and that character has "At the beginning of your turn, heal this character 1 click. // When this character clears action tokens, if they're not named Gaea, deal them 2 unavoidable damage."
Elder God: Font of Creation: SIDELINE ACTIVE - When the character chosen for Mother Nature is KO'd, you may immediately generate Gaea from your Sideline or KO area on click #1 in the square that character last occupied. If you do, this game at the end of each of your turns deal all friendly characters 3 unavoidable damage.
Spirit of Growth: At the beginning of the game, generate up to 3 hindering terrain markers in any squares.
Nature's Fury: Shape Change. // When Gaea attacks, before choosing targets you may remove any number of non-debris terrain markers within range from the game. If you do, deal 1 penetrating damage to each opposing character that was adjacent to one or more of the removed terrain markers.

A little disappointed that Gaea doesn't specifically generate 'Plant' hindering terrain markers for greater synergy with recent figures that do (Man-Thing, Poison Ivy, etc).

Spirit of Growth: At the beginning of the game, generate up to 3 hindering terrain markers in any squares.

So two questions about Gaea. 1- her first trait implies you can choose a Gaea on the main force to be Sideline Gaea's avatar? That seems redundant. 2-Her second trait, would I deal my team 3 damage on my turn & my opponent deal 3 damage to their team on their turn, or am I dealing everyone 3 damage to my team every turn? It's worded just weird enough as to confuse me.

1) SIDELINE ACTIVE means that the effect will remain active even when on a Sideline, not that it only works on the Sideline. Main force Gaea can choose herself, or Gaea on the Sideline can choose someone else.

2) You're only dealing damage to your own characters on your turns, your opponent's figures are fine.

Echoing a common sentiment, this and Storm are surely not Legacies we needed (or wanted) on top of getting new figure(s) of them in the set.

Thronechalla is fine, he's the title character and does something a little different from his main set counterparts.


Hmmm... not unique, keyword restricted for the abilities on the 30 pt version, but he has good keywords. He won't make you forget Porters, but that's a pretty good support figure.


Honestly, I was relieved that she didn't do anything with Plant terrain. It's fairly affordable meta (well, it is if you got Man-Thing and Swamp Thing in your brick/case), without having to hunt a chase.

And though people are already saying Gaea would still be a good fit for Man-Thing, I'm not really seeing that.

He becomes a walking giant with permanently hindered stealth. He removes tokens with giant willpower so he doesn't need to clear and take damage. He heals himself now. He really is very very good.

Other options:

Beast Boy colossal to choose a stealth TA.
Prime Man-Thing.
Deadpool & Hit-Monkey. (Though they don't have willpower)
