Spectrum has been so fun.
From what I've played and/or played with (which is almost every hero), she is probably the strongest hero in terms of strictly threat control.
With a "base" 3 thwart, 3 copies of Photon Speed, being able to run the efficient flipping and aerial cards in Lay Down the Law and Yaw and Roll, Spectrum starts out VERY strong (at thwarting). Her scaling is simple resource generation which is.. neat. I'm a fan of it (because I like simplicity in general) but it's not the strongest nor the weakest.
One of the biggest problems with Spectrum I've encountered is the lack of survivability/alter-ego support so we add in a couple of cheap allies and some copies of Making an Entrance to cover that.
Utilizing One Way or Another and Skilled Investigator, we can get some extra card draw, then using Overwatch to minimalize the cost of clearing the side scene we pull. Note that every Making an Entrance boosts your "base" 3 thwart by 2. Even when I only ran 2 copies of Making an Entrance, I very commonly used both of them and thwarted a total of 14 using Overwatch.
Deft Focus is included to help pay for Gamma Blast, Photon Speed, and Energy Duplication.
Ready to Rumble is included when you inevitably need to change forms to deal damage to that minion your friends couldn't deal with.

May 06, 2023Why not run more Skilled Investigator for a MP deck? It'll thin your deck too - on the cheap (self only) & yet still effective - so that both/all are more efficient. With 8 Thw events in deck, I'd like to see Sense of Justice. I also think Multitasking would be a better option in MP than Yaw and Roll. It should get 4 Thw for the same cost (S+1) rather than 3 especially in a MP deck. Where is Heroic Intuition if you are running Making an Entrance & Overwatch? I'm finding more & more side-schemes are getting "so not worth it" for One Way or Another with the forced entering/defeated responses (plus any ongoing effects) that you get with a net +2 mana/cards for, especially if the group only has <3 Skilled Investigator. Essentially your 2 (3draw - 1cost) cards/mana needs to defeat that scheme, or you are going backwards and adding injury to insult if there are any said "forces responses". |
May 09, 2023Not sure what "MP" means but here's some answers: Why no Heroic Intuition? I wanted to keep scaling simple and cards cheap. Since Spectrum starts with 3 thwart, and I don't run any The Power of Justice, I decided to leave it out. I haven't had a case yet where I was just 1 threat off. Why no Sense of Justice? Again, no The Power of Justice, and I think the sweet spot is 3 resource generators. There is a point to be made with Multitasking. Really the choice boiled down to, "I always want to get +3 threat removal from Overwatch." |

Looks fun! Not sure how you'd squeeze it in, but Chance Encounter could be nice with so few Allies.
