Project Elite (2020) Characters Ranked (1)

 Now I want to rank the newest version of the game's characters from worst to best. Here we go!

21) Jake

The WORST one to be. If he rolls to "alien move" dice he loses a health. He heals a health for himself or anyone next to him is he rolls two "touch" symbols. So I guess thematically he keeps shooting himself in the foot and healing during the game. Making the player take the time out to move his health meter back and forth during the round in a frustrating series of events during the mission. 

Horrible and not well thought out character. Really confused why the created him. For the record there is no version of Robcart from the first game and I wish there was someone who was better at searches instead. 

20) Sandra

Replace a swarm card that is revealed with the next one from the deck....which may be worse. This is not very helpful and never used in the game when (and if) we pick random and someone gets her. (which is the only reason she gets played at all) 

What a dumb "ability" in that it can make matters worse for the team if she picks something else. Maybe they could've said "once per mission" she can avoid the alien spawning phase. That would send her near the top of the list in characters. But instead they went with something lame like this. 

19) Robert

Basically the same power of Sandra but with Boss cards. Again, the same can be said that he can make the situation worse by luck of the draw. Another pointless character and a lack of creativity from the designers who put him together. 

Just like Sandra, if his ability was once per mission to SKIP selecting a Boss Card he's be way more valuable. (maybe so house rules should go in effect here)

18) Mizi

She has the power to unlock anyone's dice for the round. Kind of good but really depends on the situation. If someone is badly damaged enough she could come in handy OR if someone plays with Gilgamesh. But only in those two unique situations would she be needed, which is why I ranked her near the bottom. 

17) Sarah

The healer comes in once again near the bottom but at least this time she's not last! With 2 "touch" rolls she can heal herself 3 of another player 2. An improvement from her earlier version but still the same issue as before. Good for the team, bad for the individual player. 

There's a need for this character in the game it just sucks that one player will not be able to help with the mission that much, therefore missing out on all the fun of blowing aliens away.

16 ) Apollo

One of the characters in the "Alien Allies Pack" He has the same power as Sandman did in the original game but this time when an alien is "pushed" it doesn't wake back up until the next round. Nice to have but again like Sandman, it doesn't come in handy most of the time. 

I wonder why they kept this power over into the new version of the game. Obviously someone thought it was good enough to have and even though there are several powers that are worse on this list, this isn't anywhere near the best to have. 

15) Gilgamesh

The good: He gets to reroll misses on hit die. The bad: He rolls with only 3 action die in the game. Making him pretty well balance. I've played with him before and he's not bad. Again, if someone were to play as Mizi, he'd be unstoppable but then again, someone would have to waste their choice on Mizi. 

Ok, I'll be back with more tomorrow!
