Title lays it out: Do you intend to use the new terrain elements? If so, how do you plan on using them?

Let's get the obvious out of the way: If you have Super Strength, you're almost always going to want to use terrain. The more damage it can do, and the further it can reach, the better.

I'd also wager any team relying on will want to ensure a few puddles on the board. Nobody's picking those up to use against you.

As for the rest... I'm hesitant to put down terrain as terrain. The potential benefit to me is outweighed by the potential benefit to my opponent. I might get lucky and they have no Super Strength or TK, but that's not a risk I'm eager to take.

But... I could easily be wrong. For those who intend to use terrain markers as something other than a weapon, what's your plan?

Block off the map/Hinder initial moves with 3 of the 2x2 Blocking squares.

Which Play-at-Home kit had the 2x2 blocking? I bought one of each but only have one of the 2x2 blocking terrain pieces. I'm thinking of buying more just for the blocking terrain.

The Miles Morales kit has a 2x2 and a 2x1.

The boxed game has an L-shaped 2x2 piece.

Played with the new rules Tuesday night. My opponent forgot that Super Strength and Barrier are now friends, and he tried to hide behind a wall of Diablo-created terrain.

Rogue informed him of his mistake. It was honestly pretty glorious.

Now I'm probably buying the miniatures game, thanks for the heads up.

Here's all the terrain and their bonuses.

It'll be good to funnel your opponent into the areas you want them (barring Super Strength), or blocking off starting areas.

It can also be a good source of giving yourself some elevated terrain for the new Wall Crawler traits.

The only real issue I've seen when playing with them is Scarab TK's elevated into an opponent's starting area turn one, causing knockback damage during first turn immunity.
