DAY 0- Choose Your Monsters
So I've been trying to get Candyce to try Monpoc. Thanks to Danny for posting this series because we both have this activity to do together. This is goint to be a lot of fun I think.
For our monsters, Candyce picked Ultra Zor-Magna, I went for Ultra Xaxor.
Ultra Zor-Magna:
Originally Candyce picked Quantum Magna while reviewing other posts online, I feel bad because I never mentioned which forms we had, my bad. So Ultra Magna it is. Not having played Monpoc Candyce looked up each of the monsters we have and went with the one that fits her play style when it comes to video games. A good and solid choice I think. Magna fit her rogue style play perfectly and her abilities and triggers perked Candyce's interest not only for this monster but the game in general. After looking at the complete abilities sheet, all thise symbols can easily scare someone away from a game. Assisted by some unit and monster reference sheets we made, this will become a moot point soon enough. And as a bonus, Magna is a girl monster. We have managed to get a nice Shadow Sun collection, so just some research on units will keep us busy.
Ultra Xaxor:
I picked planet eaters for my Faction mostly because of their look, the units are interesting and its a faction I've wanted to play since discovering this game. While playing the game to learn it I found myslef brawling a lot, so picking a blaster will hopefuly improve my game play at ranged combat. Xaxor is one of 2 monsters we have for Planet Eaters, Zorog was my only other choice. But he's a brawler and I wanted to try blasting. Another big reason for Xaxor is his blue abilities. Planet eaters units are mostly grounded brawlers, a blue jump ability is amazing at fixing this somewhat. No ranged combat but it's an answer to flyers. Charge is another bonus for the extra B die, those little brawlers get a hand up as well as an extra B die for Xaxor's following fire Ultra combo.
I pretty much have my units picked out, i want to try and keep this pure, but I do have a few Bugs for a nice B plan. Buildings might take a bit, but I know theres a lot we have for extra P die. Shadow sun on the other hand. I'm sure there is pleanty figures to make a well rounded out army of pure SS units, we also saw a nice splash one paired for quantum Magna, I think thats a good plan B as well. And the building front should be easy. But these are for other days. Really looking forward to learning 2 armies with a combined effort. See everone on the next day or in your Mastering Monsterpocalypse thread.
