Riot Quest: Flubbin and Mekanoshredder Enter the Wasteland
The next crazy characters to enter the Riot Quest arena are Flubbin and the Mekanoshredder, let’s take a look!
Flubbin
Do you remember Gubbin from the Riot Quest starter set? We’ll Gubbin’s sister Flubbin is here and ready to drop bombs!
Flubbin comes in 4 parts and is on a small base
There is a ton to like about Flubbin; good speed, very high defense, super mobile and a great attack. Flight keeps Flubbin pretty safe from melee attacks granting additional defense versus non-flyers who foolishly attempt to melee her. Flyby is a fantastic ability letting you interrupt your move to attack and then continue moving – this is going to come up a lot as Flubbin’s Gravity Bomb attack is only range 1. Spotter makes those ranged attacks even more reliable and to top it all off Gravity Bomb gives you 1 Blue and 2 Red dice! All of this is offset by a very low Stamina of 2 so be careful – one good shot a Flubbin is back to the cooler.
Flubbin comes with the riot gear Lead Balloon. This will prevent your model from being moved by the enemy and also will prevent any non-enemy effects from damaging you. Pretty handy.
Mekanoshredder
The Mekanoshredder is 3 metal pieces and comes on a small base.
With a solid defense of 3/8, this little Shredder is a tough one to crack. Assimilated Parts is an interesting action that gets stronger as the game goes on, granting re-rolls for each riot gear in your discard pile. In the early game, Scavenge will give you coins so you can buy that gear, 2 loot tokens just for hitting an enemy model isn’t bad. With an SPD of 5 and 3 Blue dice on the Metal Jaws attack, the Mekanoshredder is likely to get those hits as well.
The Enormous Monkey Wrench will let you swap the place of 2 enemy models by spending an action. Why? Why not! Moving enemies around open up a ton of possibilities and it’ll be up to you to figure out the best way mess with your enemies.
What do you think about Flubbin and the Mekanoshredder? Who will you be adding to your wasteland crew?
