Well, he's kind of a wuss AV, after all
Hostess Heroes last night cleaned Klamor Maestro's clock. Despite his being an AV (and thus currently regenning 11x as fast as he used to), we didn't have much problem. Hell, the stupid 'fan boys" were a bigger irritant.
In the pic we have (front) Ho Ho, Brownie Points, Twinkie Kid; (back) Bear Claws, Princess Peep, Ginger Snap, Ring Ding. Oh, and in the middle, Klamor Maestro having his noisy head handed to him.
Ho Ho and Princess Peep both dinged 25. Halfway (numerically) to 50. Yikes.
It's a bit funny. I enjoy playing Ho Ho -- doing the tank thang with a big team and all. But there was something kind of exhilerating about first building her, and having practically any option. Doing a regular big team is spoiling me -- makes me want to do more of it, but with different ATs. Another blaster. A different controller. A claws scrapper. Endless possibilities ...

Maetsro, actually, but what matters is that we kicked his arse.

Hey, looks like my "fanboy" nickname for the Ascendants is catching on!
I was really surprised to see an "Attendant" patrolling the hall ahead of me, not having heard of the Council using Carnie names before. I was even more surprised when I was suddenly fighting an "Ascendent," and even more to find that I couldn't touch him.
They're not dangerous so much as annoying. When the group you're fighting is down to just Ascendents, and you have to stand around waiting until one of them folds up his fan so you can do some damage again... Bleh.
You know, Dave, you could create a new alt for the HH. I switch between Brownie points and Fig Neutron, after all. (Anybody remember my first HH, Captain Funyun? Whatever happened to him...?) Anytime you and Margie want to play different characters, I can bring Fig along and try to keep Snap alive.
[Tangent: Why, oh why, does the preview option on this BoH not recognize paragraphing? It works just fine on DDtB!]

Everyone loves trying to keep Snap alive!
It's a group project!

Yeah, they're a lot wimpier (aside from the Invulnerability thang) than their counterparts.
Yes, keeping Snap alive is a regular project. Ho Ho's improving her timing to get her Taunt off *just* before Snap's snipe, so that I take the alpha response, not her. :-)
And, yes, I know I could create a new HH, but it wouldn't be the same -- plus Ho Ho's beginning to hit the sweet spot in power, and I hate to give that up, too. :-)

As to the paragraph breaks -- no clue, Avo. The template set up here is very different from that on DDtB, so it's not surprising, but not easily diagnosed. (See, "Why don't you have buttons for doing URLs and bolding, Dave?")
