Dragonfly and I cornered Andrew Parks and Manny O’Donnell and got them to let us take a few pictures of one of the Wave 12 expansions:
Frost Giant Troop!
This is, of course, a silly post for April Fool’s Day. Happy April Fool’s folks.
But what if it wasn’t? Here’s what they would look like against Tiamat:
Frost Giant Troop vs Tiamat!
What kind of upgrades would such a troop have? Remember that, so far at least, all troops have had only Heroic or Monster upgrades. So, let’s assume the Frost Giant Troop would have four Monster Upgrade slots.
Here’s my first suggestion:
We Have an Axe to Grind:
You must have at least 5 Soldiers in your Troop to activate this Upgrade.
Discard this Upgrade in order to make a Range 4, 5 dice attack against a Creature who has just moved out of your Front Arc.
Must be a Frost Giant Troop to equip.
Cost 5.
RAIN OF BOULDERS
You must have at least 5 Soldiers in your Troop to activate this Upgrade.
Discard this Upgrade in order to make a Range 4, 5 dice attack against all
Creatures (Ground OR Air) in your Front Arc; for every HIT or CRIT rolled
roll an additional ATTACK DIE.
Must be a Frost Giant Troop to equip.
Cost 5
Oh how I would for this to exist! I laughed when I saw how small it made Tiamat look
LEAPFROG GRAB
Must have at least 2 soldiers in your troop.
Disable this upgrade and place 2 Duration Tokens on it to initiate a 3 Dice attack that penetrates armor against a flying or swooping creature in your forward arc. If this attack inflicts any damage the affected creature receives the continuous effect below in addition to any hits/crits sustained:
Continuous effect: the affected creature immediately receives both a ground token and an exhaustion token.
Cost 4
Must be a troop of large base creatures to equip.
