Norman does not have HUGE base stats.
See:
Noodile Cr
Nanook
Chiara
Tyd
And banned: Lyse Teria and
Zatman as well.
None of them cost you an extra pill when they win either....
I'm in the disappointed camp. The bonus is a new take on an old idea. The best part about the release is the intro of the Backlash ability which I assume will trickle to other clans.
The cards themselves are weak though.
Beef is decent but compared to the likes of Junta 4* like
Isatis,
Chiro or even
Burger he's pretty meh.
Norman is disappointing considering Jane Ramba has one less power but reduces damage and doesn't cost you a pill and
Trish is a virtual 8/7. Against SOA
Nahomi is just better. The other 3* is a worse version of
Rodney, a card released not too long ago.
I'm in agreement with others who've said we need an innovative bonus. A bonus that was "Mimic Opp. Ability" would be really interesting and fun whereas this is tired and boring.
