Support Kits on the Way!

We’re gearing up to send out the first wave of Monsterpocalypse Support Kits!

What is a Support Kit, you ask? It’s a package of goodies we send to stores every few weeks containing products to use as tournament prizes. Every Monsterpocalypse kit contains a monster Mega form as well as promo units! Each event gets a number of the promo units equal to the number of registered participants signed up for the event—so if everyone registers, everyone will receive a figure. As you can see, registering for the events is very important. If you don’t register, you may get left out of the killer swag!

Our first Monsterpocalypse Support Kit contains Mega Armodax and the promo version of the Hunter or the Explodohawk.

The cool thing about our Monsterpocalypse promo units is they all have the Cloak ability, so we’ve produced cool shadow variants of the units. Though these units cost more to play, Cloak gives them another level of protection—and their ability to avoid blast attacks can really pay off.

The shadow version of Hunter has a pretty nifty application. Because Hunters are long range, they can hang back at a distance from enemy units and pluck them off one at a time. If you can pick up radar you can stretch this out even farther. If set on a far flank, the Hunter can produce 1 Power Die for you by taking an enemy unit off of the map almost every turn. Not many players are willing to dedicate the resources necessary to close the distance with the shadow Hunter and then execute an attack to take him out. Often, inexperienced players will let you pick off their units one by one until the end of the game, essentially converting the A-Dice they paid for those units into P-Dice for your Power Pool. Now that’s a change for the better.

The shadow version of Explodohawk is especially useful when you have to get him across the map to throw himself at the enemy monster. Most Explodohawks spawn, move, and explode, but that’s not always possible. The extra protection Cloak provides is sometimes enough to get the shadow Explodohawk to where he can lay his smack down on the enemy monster. An extra 1 damage during a unit phase never hurts, I’ll tell you what!

If you want to get your hands on these shadow units, though, you need to register for your events. It doesn’t take long and the benefits are obvious. So go out there and register to play!
