But my question at the moment is about the Y swing for Socrates. What do you think it should be set to in this case? Usually, a "1" makes a lot of sense for Socrates -- the presence of his special attack gives a lot more flexibility and the benefit in gaining initiative is very strong, especially when you only have four dice. On the other hand, against a button with speed dice -- especially MULTIPLE speed dice, a "1" can be a ticket to disaster, making losses of multiple dice -- which Socrates in particual can ill afford -- much more likely. My GENERAL recommendation
when going against buttons with (multiple) speed dice is to make your swing dice as LARGE as possible; but the desire for a nice victory condition may keep you from simply maxing out the swing. In this context, the need for initiative is yet another constraint.
So: the questions:
- If Morgan's X=4, what do you think Socrates's Y should be set to?
- If Morgan's X=20, what do you think Socrates's Y should be set to?
- What should Socrates's Y be set to for the opening round?
All answers are welcome -- I don't necessarily have a best answer myself -- but I'm more interested in your reasoning than your answer.
Socrates (from Fantasy set)
- 4-sided die [ 4 ]
- 10-sided die [ 10 ]
- 12-sided die [ 12 ]

(Stats do not count Socrates vs Socrates games.)
Morgan (from Brawl set)
- Speed 10-sided die [ z10 ]
- Speed 12-sided die [ z12 ]
- Speed 12-sided die [ z12 ]
- Speed X Swing [ zX ]
