Round 5 submission, GRAPPLING ROBOT (bonus):

New square types:

  • 2 range F / B / L / R "Pull Enemy 1 space closer, or
    (Trigger) End of Turn, Enemy Unit: If there is Bomber between you and target, pull it, it attacks the Bomber."
  • 1 range F / B / L / R "Square must be empty, and own value must be above X - Pay 2 own value, spawn Bomber. ", X for tiers is 3/3/5/5

Comments / ideas for the piece:

  • Combines Lich-like minion spawning (Bombers), and possibly double kill with attack and then pull-trigger.
  • Compared to Lich, you pay the price for spawns ahead, in army value, and there is limited amount of them (3/4/4/5).
  • Pulling into Bombers synergises with / enhances them in new way - they're now possibly a threat even from side or behind.
  • GR keeps the grappling ability, but without Bombers, it is not on trigger, and some other allies must do the killing (pulls to own blindspot).

Sidenote: Since I have hit limit on steemit actions, I will not be commenting / discussing things here as much anymore, those count towards the action limit too. I want to be able to post more submissions (not sure how many comments I would be allowed and when).
Edit: And thanks to some generous magic from Grand and alphacore, I can now comment even more, not sure if that makes others as glad as me, but ... :) .

Sort Order:  

Why would you use + rather than base? I get that it costs more so you can summon more bombers but overall it doesn't really seem to be worth it.

I was thinking just for that extra bomber (both base to +, and ++ to +++). Even if enemy has "free" (kill not by melee, without your piece dying with it) way to take Bombers out - the more you have, the wider area they can cover / defend. And so does GR to take advantage from them (move in and pull instantly). You can maybe place 1 as sacrifice, other on side for GR to follow with revenge. Also, vs setups that do not have way of disposing Bombers for free (you could almost say, they lack any EOD specialised unit :) , more Bombers are real pain, since any melee attacker dies with them. Tiers + and +++ allow you to have same GR, but more bodies for the body count contest / trade-off. And the more you have to trade with (above opponents minion count), the fewer enemy champions should remain standing when you're done with it :) .
