Villian Character Guide:

Foot Soldiers:

Mastodon Troopers

  • Locations: Resistance Hideout & Zord Graveyard
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Warnings: The Mastodon Troopers work as Lord Drakkon’s enforcers. Due to their powers being created from destroyed Power Coins, the Mastodon Troopers have several attacks that use dice to determine damage.

Monsters:
Black Dragon

  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Warnings: Lord Drakkon is an evil Ranger and as an evil Ranger, he needs an evil Zord. Black Dragon is that Zord. While Drakkon can pilot him, Black Dragon also acts on his own agenda. Rangers may underestimate his strength due to his low health stats, but his heavy attacks will force Rangers to be quick to act or fear losing their battles permanently.

Ranger Slayer

  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Warnings: Kimberly Ann Hart from the World of the Coinless is a formidable warrior. As the Ranger Slayer her powers have been corrupted and she is being controlled by Lord Drakkon. Being a Ranger, her attacks will deal damage based on dice rolls, and being the powerhouse she is, its a lot of dice. The Ranger Slayer has her name for a reason and the Rangers should be wary of her power.

Boss:

Lord Drakkon

  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Warnings: Lord Drakkon is powerful and no one dares tell him different. A evil Ranger himself, Lord Drakkon uses the corrupted powers of two Power Coins fused together. On top of being able to deal out massive amounts of damage, he is able to absorb energy from the Rangers, making him stronger than before. Rangers need to come prepared for the worst when facing Lord Drakkon.

 

That concludes Episode 3 of Soundout’s Heroes of the Grid Showcase! Stay tuned for the next time when we wrap up Phase 1 of the game….
