Troq

Brief Discussion

Troq is probably the best character in the game. It’s not that any one his options are overwhelmingly strong on their own (though Beast Unleashed is pretty goddamn powerful), its more that all of his options are good nearly all of the time.

The suggested changes focus on nerfing his J, which gives Troq a third face card that completely ruin’s Zane’s day, and his AA which is actually so good at 1.0 speed that it’s literally been dubbed Good Move.


Consensus Changes

Troq doesn’t really need his Troq Armor ability as the speed of fast J already undercuts nearly every normal attack in the game. Since (reworked) :bbb: has a 3.0 speed Junkshot additionally slowing fast J to 2.4 speed seems completely reasonable.

Slowing AA to 1.2 speed and limiting War Stomp to once per turn are also both oft-mentioned changes to make his options just a little worse.

J Bull Rush
2.2 speed —> 2.4 speed

J* Troq Armor
Deleted

AA Eagle Totem
1.0 speed —> 1.2 speed

10* War Stomp [Draw Phase]
If neither player is knocked down, knock the opponent down, draw a card, and the opponent discards a card.
