M’Baku & His New Rules Smash Into Marvel Crisis Protocol
M’Baku is straightforward in his weaponry; his main method of attack making use of a Knobkerrie. You may be surprised at first to find this coming at you from Range 3, but when you stop to consider the reach a man of his size would have, it’ll soon make sense. The Strength 5 Physical attack is going to provide him power equal to the damage he deals and his endless training allows him to make full use of the body mechanics in play. When rolling a Critical in the attack, he will be able to Push the target character Away Short and if he happens to also roll a Wild, he’ll then be able to Advance Toward them Short, setting up the next round of pain he plans to deliver.
When up close and personal, he makes full use of the power he has earned by spending 4 of it to unleash the Wrath of the Jabari. This may only be a Range 2 attack, but it hits at Strength 8 and allows him to throw Size 4 or less characters Medium in any direction before dealing damage. If he rolls a Wild and Hit in the attack roll, he comes down on his enemies like an Avalanche. This special rule allows him to Advance Short and make a Knobkerrie attack against a different enemy character.
He’s made for combat and really comes through with some powerful attacks. His basic ones, like his builder, are pretty strong, and he can throw targets all over the battlefield.
Plus as a leader for Wakanda, he can help his team hold objectives better, and modify dice even.
Blessed by Ghekre is the introduction of a new Leadership to the Wakanda affiliation. This Leadership allows an allied character who is contesting an objective token to avoid being Pushed or Placed once per turn if they manage to roll a Critical, Wild or Shield when affected by an enemy effect.
Not only does the blessing of their god allow them to hold steadfast when protecting that which they hold dear, it also allows them to shift the odds of battle in their favor once per turn by changing a single die result in their attack roll to a hit when they’ve rolled one or more Wilds.
Next up, he has a bunch of abilities. First, he is excellent at stopping the enemy from pushing anything and can throw terrain himself. Then, he is just super solid and can’t be pushed around!
Team Tactics Cards
When it comes to the Team tactics cards in this expansion, M’Baku is good at supporting other Wakanda characters and can buff up their attacks while getting free movement. Then, other Wakanda affiliation characters can gain a bunch of different effects, and lastly, Klaw can play Supersonic Shred and just deal all sorts of damage!
