Throughout the campaign there will be times when something is blocking your movement, but there is a note that it can be “jumped over”. This does NOT mean that any of the hero’s can simply jump over it. Only a hero with an Action card with a subcategory (jump) can do so! And there are only three heroes that begin the game with a “jump” Action card:

1. Vera – Jet Pack is a Gear (Jump) card
2. Sigyn – Enhanced Mech Legs is an Ability (Jump) card
3. Talya – Jump and Run is an Ability (Jump) card

Note1: Also remember that you must count the square(s) that you are jumping over as part of your “jump” movement. You canNOT safely end your jump ON the thing that you are jumping over :) Well, you CAN end ON the thing you wanted to jump over, but landing on it will have you suffer it’s consequences.

Note2: Playing a “jump” Action card let’s you jump over enemies, allies, characters, barrels, crates and other things. Just not a wall or a closed door!

Jet Pack

Hero: Vera – Jet Pack lets her jump over things and for quite a distance as well (5 squares or even more with a good die roll). Note: you cannot jump over walls or closed doors.

Throughout the game, now and then you will encounter crates … I am planning on getting some 3D miniature crates to liven up the game :) Here are what I found on Etsy:

Crates

=> Sci-Fi Crates (Etsy EZscenics)

=> Chests (Etsy EZscenics)

=> Crates, Barrels, Chests (collection by Lazy3D)

I likely will add a page to list all the bits and pieces that can deluxify the Rogue Angels game!

Barrels:

Set of 20 oil barrels 18mm wide, half standard and half damaged looking
=> Etsy SST Oil Barrels

Set of 20 armored barrels 18mm wide
=> Etsy SST Armored Barrels

Set of ?? barrels (can be either 28 or 32mm scale)
=> Etsy Lazy3D Barrels

Set of 10 barrels with lids about 16mm wide (28mm scale)
=> Etsy EZscenics Barrels

If you are looking for a hero that thrives on “the attack” and even has benefits from damage taken, Eradicator is your guy!

Highlights for Eradicator Action cards:

• Has an Effect card that will deal unblockable damage to an adjacent enemy at the end of his turn as long as the card is in his cooldown track AND at least one damage card is also on the cooldown track
• Can interact with an object from a good distance (up to 4 squares away).
• Can deal damage to an enemy up to 3 squares away PLUS push the enemy away another square (or more with a good die roll) dealing even more damage if it’s movement is stopped.
• Has the only Action card that does damage to the enemy and then also to himself! Actually a second Action card can do damage to himself as well if you chose to add a die to the action.

Power Feedback Armor 

• Card classification: Gear / Effect
• Cooldown Track Slot: 1
• Dice: 1 die (but not connected with the action)

At the end of your turn, before the free rest action, deal 1 unblockable damage to an adjacent enemy for each damage card you have on your cooldown track.

This is an interesting Effect card in that it only functions while there also is a damage card on the cooldown track. But that means that it kicks in when Eradicator is in the midst of a battle! And using a red or green token Eradicator can actually pull an enemy CLOSER which then can put that enemy adjacent so that this card will take effect! The die rolled is not connected with this action and only can be rolled when the card is played. Boosts available when the card is played (not later as an ongoing effect):

• Red token: Pull an enemy 3 squares closer to you
• Green token: Pull an enemy 3 squares closer to you

When attacking an enemy, your attack is diminished by the amount of shields the enemy has. This greatly reduces your “attack power”, often even down to nothing if the enemy has shields of 3! Thus, to enemies with shields, these ten heroes are terrible (to them)… wonderful to us! Why?

WHY? Because when your hero attacks with UNBLOCKABLE damage, the enemy shields are not considered! A hero can deal 1 unblockable damage to an enemy with 3 shields and do one damage whereas a hero who attacks normally with attack of 3 would deal ZERO damage!

These are the ten heroes who can attack with unblockable damage who the enemy shakes with fear considering them a terror:

(1) Xalia

Not only does she have the highest unblockable attack of all the heroes, she also has a second card that does more than one unblockable damage as well!

Zealous Claymore does the most damage of any weapon in the game! Using a green token to add a die roll can up the unblockable damage to 5 or 6 (with a roll of +1 or +2).

And she has a second unblockable attack weapon as well:

Exo Shuriken is almost as good as her other weapon! It deals damage to ALL enemies within a range of 2 plus it deals more than 1 damage plus the damage is unblockable! Note that the die roll is not related to the attack action (+1 or +2 has no use).

Hacking and Interacting is a key element to Rogue Angels. You will be doing it A LOT. And these six heroes give you an edge of hacking from further than just adjacent (plus the sixth hero on this list lets you choose what color the first token is). I also included an honorable mention for 5 other heroes at the end! Quick summary:

• Interact from the furthest distance:
  1. Range 8: Laelia (with dice roll or +2 and +2)
  2. Range 5: Adryel (with blue token)
  3. Range 4: Memnon, Eradicator
• Interact with the most tokens:
  1. 8 tokens: Gia (spending 1 focus to repeat the interact with +2 die roll each time).
  2. 6 tokens: Memnon (with +2 die roll and red token)
  3. 5 tokens: Talya (with +2 die roll and yellow token)
• Interact with more objects in the same action:
  1. 2 objects: Gia
• Interact and choose the color of the token:
  1. Talya

(1) Hacking Device

Hero: Memnon – Hacks from the furthest away (without needed a good die roll or token). PLUS gets 3 interact tokens (even more with a good die roll and an extra one using a red token).

Half of our heroes can run, sprint, rush or even jet pack for at least 3 squares! The best mover is Vera with her Jet Pack that lets her jump 5 squares or even more with 1 die roll.

(1) Fastest Move: Jet Pack

Hero: Vera – She is the only hero that can move 5 squares (up to 7 with a good die roll). And the big bonus is that this is a JUMP so she can jump OVER things (like an acid river).

Only five of the 16 heroes in Rogue Angels have healing power … and I’ve called them the Favored Five! I will try to list them here with the ones that I think are best at the top of the list:

1. Laelia (the best card)
2. Vera
3. Adryel
4. Jastin
5. Antathys

(1) Advanced Drone Medic
(the best healing Action Card)

Hero: Laelia – Can heal herself or another hero within 4 squares (or with the 1 die rolled, could be up to 5 or 6 squares away). Play this card and remove 2 Damage Cards of your choice!

The seven best Action cards regarding weapons with the longest range! These will help you do damage to an enemy from a good distance (helping to keep YOU out of THEIR range). Less than half of the 16 heroes have weapons with a range over 5! Laelia is the BEST in this category. These are the seven:

• Range 8: Laelia
• Range 7: Bassilus, Antathys, Tarira, Memnon, Melithys, Jastin

(1) LONGEST Range Weapon:

Laser Sniper (Range 8)

Hero: Laelia – plus it deals up to 4 unblockable damage!
