| 14s | to get to today I am so excited I've |
| 17s | said this before but today I really mean |
| 19s | it I am excited let's get into it please |
| 23s | welcome back to the show The Amazing the |
| 26s | one and only Matt Daner Grant principal |
| 29s | game designer how are you good sir hey |
| 32s | doing well good to be back awesome well |
| 35s | I don't know about you but I can hardly |
| 38s | believe that we're already in December |
| 41s | the year has just flown by do you have |
| 44s | any holiday traditions uh yeah |
| 47s | definitely |
| 48s | um the big one my favorite is just |
| 51s | Christmas lights I love Christmas lights |
| 53s | I love putting up Christmas lights uh |
| 56s | just yesterday I was telling my |
| 57s | neighbors all about the Christmas lights |
| 59s | I was putting up SL warning them and |
| 61s | making sure they were okay with it is |
| 64s | there a reason why they would not be |
| 66s | okay with you putting up lights there's |
| 68s | just a lot of them and they uh there's a |
| 72s | lot of them how many are we talking |
| 74s | about here |
| 76s | Matt I mean every year I put up all the |
| 79s | lights we have and then go buy some more |
| 81s | so it keeps growing oh I see we we do it |
| 85s | in phases we just kind of pull the box |
| 87s | out and then whenever my daughter comes |
| 89s | home we put more lights up and we just |
| 91s | keep doing that and every year we buy |
| 93s | more lights so yeah oh so you might say |
| 96s | it's |
| 99s | snowballs it does it is it does and it |
| 102s | will continue to well speaking of the |
| 104s | holidays I feel like I'm personally |
| 107s | getting a huge gift this year uh with |
| 113s | the announcement of a new team new |
| 116s | characters would you please do the |
| 118s | honors yeah so I am thrilled to announce |
| 122s | that we are adding Nightcrawler to the |
| 124s | game along with his extreme |
| 128s | X-Men uh which includes two more new |
| 130s | characters uh Forge and Sunspot and |
| 134s | reworks for Cyclops and Gambit I |
| 138s | absolutely cannot wait uh for me Marvel |
| 141s | and video games have always gone |
| 143s | together so whenever I played a Marvel |
| 145s | game I always picked Nightcrawler first |
| 147s | just always um I'm hoping this that |
| 150s | there's going to be lots of bamp with |
| 153s | our version oh oh yes uh the bamp |
| 157s | himself will be teleporting all over the |
| 159s | place um in fact he has the very first |
| 163s | uh unlimited range rebound chain attack |
| 166s | so if there are two enemies on complete |
| 168s | opposite sides of the battlefield he can |
| 169s | just teleport back and forth uh and keep |
| 172s | hitting them so you said unlimited range |
| 176s | can you get a little bit more granular |
| 178s | and and talk about the mechanics of that |
| 180s | his special attack is going to rebound |
| 182s | chain three times uh but each of those |
| 185s | chains as long as there is an other |
| 187s | enemy any other enemy on the field he |
| 189s | will reach them he will teleport to them |
| 191s | and hit them no matter how far away they |
| 194s | are a lot of our rebound chains are |
| 196s | adjacency base so they have to be right |
| 198s | next to each other um and Nightcrawler |
| 200s | with his teleportation powers bypasses |
| 202s | that and is able to rebound all over the |
| 204s | place before we dive into the kits could |
| 207s | you give us a little bit of backstory on |
| 210s | this new trait of the |
| 212s | extreme |
| 214s | X-Men yeah certainly so as you can maybe |
| 218s | guess by the name they debuted in the |
| 219s | early 2000s uh running from 2001 to 2004 |
| 225s | uh the team featured some familiar faces |
| 226s | including Gambit and Rogue uh with |
| 229s | Sunspot also making an appearance about |
| 232s | eight years later there was a second run |
| 233s | from 2012 to 2013 with a new team lineup |
| 237s | featuring alternate universe versions of |
| 239s | night crawler and cyclops uh we took |
| 242s | inspiration from both of those runs and |
| 244s | worked closely with Marvel to choose |
| 246s | Forge as our fifth member of the lineup |
| 249s | this makes Strike Force the only place |
| 251s | to see and play with this distinct |
| 253s | version of the extreme X-Men team thank |
| 256s | you very much for that setup now we are |
| 259s | going to talk about the team we're not |
| 261s | going to go into the details of all the |
| 263s | kits because it's we'd be here all day |
| 265s | could you give us a highlevel |
| 267s | description of the team uh including |
| 269s | some of the highlight synergies of the |
| 272s | characters yeah for sure so the extreme |
| 275s | X-Men are your next mutant raid team so |
| 279s | they will be just breezing on through |
| 281s | those incursion 2 raids once properly |
| 284s | built while the The Raid is their |
| 286s | primary goal they also have more so than |
| 289s | previous teams they have less locked to |
| 292s | raids and less locked to extreme X-Men |
| 296s | specifically and a lot more opened up to |
| 298s | all X-men not just just the extreme |
| 300s | X-Men as for their specific utility in |
| 303s | other modes that's still kind of like a |
| 304s | play and find out they are a raid team |
| 307s | but they are not as locked to raids as |
| 309s | our previous teams now specifically |
| 312s | Nightcrawler he is your speed battery |
| 315s | night crawler's special ability costs |
| 317s | three energy very very low and provides |
| 321s | speed bar to himself and his team and |
| 323s | that's increased in raids even further |
| 326s | but even outside of raids every three |
| 328s | turns he's uh speed bar to the team um |
| 331s | and this same ability is also the |
| 332s | aforementioned unlimited range rebound |
| 335s | chain so constantly speeding up the team |
| 338s | constantly bouncing around the enemies |
| 340s | Nightcrawler's cool speed bar mechanic |
| 342s | is gated by charges he starts with two |
| 345s | he cannot gain anymore unless you bring |
| 348s | Forge one of forge's cool things that he |
| 350s | does for the team is on his ultimate |
| 352s | ability he applies plus one charged to |
| 355s | all of your X-Men allies he also applies |
| 358s | plus 10 charged to Cyclops get into that |
| 362s | later but yeah this is one of forge's |
| 363s | big things is he's the the charged |
| 365s | generator which keeps your team charged |
| 367s | you may be familiar with Gambit Gambit |
| 369s | also starts with some charged and runs |
| 372s | out uh no longer if you bring Forge you |
| 375s | can keep putting those charges on Gambit |
| 377s | and Gambit can keep throwing out ability |
| 379s | blocks Forge is also the primary healer |
| 381s | of the team you really are going to want |
| 384s | him to be able to sustain through all of |
| 386s | the raid nodes and he can revive he's |
| 388s | the kind of backup emergency button when |
| 391s | your run starts to go a little South he |
| 393s | can help you get back on track Forge |
| 394s | also has an invention mechanic which is |
| 397s | on his turn he will craft one of three |
| 400s | random inventions and each invention |
| 402s | does different things uh over the course |
| 404s | of three turns he will gain them all but |
| 406s | importantly when you're fighting as |
| 408s | Forge or against Forge you can see |
| 410s | visually these different inventions turn |
| 412s | on and off there's like a shoulder |
| 413s | Cannon and a and eyepiece and his gun |
| 416s | transforms it's awesome but these things |
| 418s | don't have like buff or debuff icon you |
| 420s | have to actually look at him and see |
| 421s | which of his things are turning on and |
| 423s | off another and each each of the bonuses |
| 426s | each of the bonuses is really cool and |
| 427s | impactful so when the battle starts when |
| 429s | Forge takes his turn there's this moment |
| 430s | of excitement like okay which how am I |
| 432s | going to play out this battle depending |
| 434s | on which invention comes up and then |
| 436s | we've got Sunspot he is your energy |
| 439s | battery his special gives out one energy |
| 442s | to all of your X-Men allies his ultimate |
| 444s | gives out two energy and also on spawn |
| 447s | he will give out energy but it's based |
| 449s | on his own charges so this is a RAID |
| 452s | specific mechanic or it's intended that |
| 454s | way that over the course of multiple |
| 456s | battles you'll build up sunspots charges |
| 458s | higher and higher so you enter battle |
| 460s | two and three with a powered up Sunspot |
| 463s | already ready to fight his charges go up |
| 465s | to 10 and he gains more passive healing |
| 468s | he gains more damage when he reaches a |
| 470s | threshold of five charges he actually |
| 472s | gives more damage to all of the extreme |
| 474s | X-Men and these charges drive his ons |
| 477s | spawn give energy to all of the extreme |
| 479s | X-Men which is very important to their |
| 482s | their success in raids being able to |
| 483s | start a new battle with your ultimates |
| 485s | ready to go is good Sunspot can also |
| 488s | clear charges from all enemies only one |
| 491s | charge from each enemy but basically |
| 494s | he's soaking in the the Rays you know he |
| 497s | takes one charge from each enemy and |
| 498s | grants them to himself so against teams |
| 501s | with lots of charges he's extra |
| 502s | effective at kind of clearing those |
| 504s | charges away and ramping up his own |
| 506s | charged capacity uh very quickly I love |
| 509s | cops he got lots of good stat increases |
| 513s | to kind of bring him up to line with our |
| 514s | modern characters um and additionally |
| 517s | you know he's he's the leader of the of |
| 519s | the X-Men I mentioned before we were |
| 521s | trying to lean further into just pure |
| 523s | X-Men Synergy it's especially true on |
| 525s | cyclops he has a lot of pure X-Men |
| 526s | Synergy not specifically tied to extreme |
| 529s | but then also with the extreme X-Men in |
| 532s | raids he has the capability of going up |
| 535s | to 40 charges he was previously limited |
| 538s | to 20 |
| 540s | and now both on his own kit his passive |
| 542s | can slowly get up to 40 based on your |
| 545s | extreme X-Men turns or as I'm mentioned |
| 548s | previously with Forge Forge can just |
| 549s | give him 10 and that plus 10 also goes |
| 552s | up to 40 that is cyclops's job now in |
| 555s | raids is gaining charges and telling |
| 558s | people to get off his lawn we all know |
| 560s | and love Gambit and now he's even better |
| 562s | some of his things that were locked to |
| 564s | Crucible are now Crucible or raids some |
| 567s | of his things that were locked to |
| 568s | Crucible are now just everywhere such as |
| 570s | his ons spawn charged used to start with |
| 572s | one plus one in Crucible that's now just |
| 574s | plus two everywhere he also gained stat |
| 577s | boost to bring him up to par not as much |
| 579s | as Cyclops circling back to something |
| 581s | you said uh a little bit ago that the |
| 584s | extreme X-Men we expect that those can |
| 586s | probably Sim incursion rate are we |
| 589s | talking about like the highest level |
| 591s | difficulties here like if you max out |
| 592s | the team that that's the goal yes when |
| 595s | they come out the highest difficulty |
| 596s | mutant nodes will be simble by the full |
| 600s | extreme X-Men they do have some |
| 602s | mechanics that that help them with that |
| 604s | Forge has some reactive healing and some |
| 606s | any turn healing so he's always kind of |
| 609s | topping off the the lowest Health people |
| 611s | uh Nightcrawler gives out evades to your |
| 613s | lowest Health allies so that helps the |
| 616s | the AI get through these battles okay so |
| 618s | we added some mechanics in there |
| 620s | specifically with potential simming in |
| 623s | mind yes absolutely uh a lot of their |
| 625s | raid specific mechanics are also at |
| 628s | least the way I've been I was thinking |
| 629s | about is like oh in raids they really |
| 630s | need the AI to do this thing properly so |
| 633s | I'm going to add this in ra as a raids |
| 635s | bonus to help them help them him a big |
| 638s | one is actually Cyclops cyclops's |
| 640s | special applies taunt to enemies so you |
| 643s | can get around enemy taunts but now in |
| 645s | raids it also applies taunt to your two |
| 647s | healthiest X-Men allies every time |
| 650s | cyclop specials he's distracting the |
| 652s | enemies having them attack whoever's the |
| 655s | healthiest so constantly having the |
| 656s | enemies attack whoever's healthiest |
| 658s | constantly having Forge heal whoever's |
| 660s | lowest all of these things combined to |
| 662s | let the AI pilot its way through the |
| 664s | battles for us so Diamonds Are a new |
| 666s | feature to the game so we should |
| 667s | probably touch on that really quick as |
| 670s | players are powering up this team you've |
| 672s | got five characters you've got some |
| 674s | choices on which you're going to try and |
| 677s | get to three diamonds first do you have |
| 679s | any recommendations on on which you |
| 681s | would recommend prioritizing the obvious |
| 684s | answer is Nightcrawler because okay |
| 687s | Nightcrawler another way to approach it |
| 689s | is |
| 690s | you want the the backup emergency button |
| 692s | to be the strongest and in that case you |
| 694s | want Forge to have uh the highest stats |
| 697s | because he's he's the Healer his heals |
| 699s | are based on his health |
| 701s | stat and he has the revive he has the |
| 703s | only Revive on the team so if Forge does |
| 705s | go down then you could your your team |
| 708s | could fall apart but it's probably more |
| 710s | effective to just make a Nightcrawler a |
| 712s | complete damage monster first or Cyclops |
| 715s | if you want to go for the biggest 40 |
| 716s | charged ultimate of all time throw |
| 719s | diamonds on |
| 721s | cyclops 40 charges please 40 piece |
| 726s | charge 40 charge times three diamonds |
| 729s | plus offense up uh yeah equals not just |
| 732s | get off my lawn get out of my |
| 734s | neighborhood yes and of course we always |
| 737s | have to talk about ISO and always again |
| 739s | I say subjective play with what you want |
| 742s | guys um but Matt could you give us some |
| 746s | recommendations if people are looking |
| 748s | for them on so we for each character |
| 750s | yeah definitely so starting with |
| 753s | Nightcrawler usually these these latest |
| 755s | and greatest damage dealing characters |
| 758s | you just put striker on by default but I |
| 760s | think Nightcrawler is actually a a |
| 762s | Raider because his basic attack has lots |
| 764s | of bonus attacks and those bonus attacks |
| 766s | do not translate to his counter assist |
| 769s | ISO attack and he does have some crit |
| 771s | Synergy he gains more regen per crit for |
| 773s | example Forge as your team healer it is |
| 778s | always acceptable to use the Healer ISO |
| 781s | on your healer characters did a lot of |
| 782s | my testing with the Healer ISO on him |
| 785s | but also Striker conversely how Striker |
| 788s | is maybe not the best for Nightcrawler |
| 789s | Striker is maybe really good for Forge |
| 792s | because forge's basic gives out deflect |
| 795s | and Regen to all of your X-Men allies so |
| 798s | if you can proc those extra deflect and |
| 800s | extra Regens consistently then Striker |
| 803s | is a worthy alternative to healer |
| 805s | Sunspot is actually another example of |
| 808s | the way his basic works and the way his |
| 810s | passive works with the charged mechanics |
| 812s | you want Striker on Sunspot because that |
| 814s | gives you extra basic attacks through |
| 816s | the iso assist and that gives you more |
| 819s | charges and the more you charge him up |
| 821s | the better he gets the more energy for |
| 823s | your whole team uh so this one more than |
| 825s | usual I'm going to say probably just go |
| 827s | with Striker on Sunspot but also he is a |
| 830s | a massive debuff character as well so um |
| 833s | skirmisher the extra Focus from |
| 835s | skirmisher is also good for him Cyclops |
| 838s | as we just mentioned he does some big |
| 841s | damage with his big ultimate and for |
| 843s | that purpose I once again like Raider |
| 845s | because if you can get crits on that big |
| 848s | 40 charged ultimate you are a happy |
| 852s | X-Men and then Gambit I know a lot of |
| 854s | people use Gambit as a Raider and I |
| 856s | don't see any reason to to change that |
| 858s | he has really important uh crit Synergy |
| 861s | on his passive giving the team a aades |
| 863s | you can just leave your Gambit as Raider |
| 865s | all right Matt well I am one happy |
| 868s | camper uh again you know my favorite |
| 871s | character to play as this game in games |
| 873s | is finally coming Nightcrawler uh I feel |
| 875s | like I've got to talk about it just one |
| 876s | more time can we just talk about how |
| 879s | great this is going to be please he's |
| 881s | the best Nightcrawler is the best I'm so |
| 883s | excited I've been watching him like |
| 886s | teleport all over the battlefield for |
| 888s | for many weeks now and I'm so so excited |
| 891s | for everyone to be able to play around |
| 892s | with him and uh I can't wait to read all |
| 895s | the comments about him and and I'm just |
| 899s | so excited for all of the extreme X-Men |
| 901s | really I actually love Forge as a |
