In today's blog post I look at the last category of Aristo - The scorers. https://intothehexadome.home.blog/2019/07/15/aristo-roles-scorer/ As always, I appreciate any feedback and (inevitable) rules mistakes :)
I would say you're missing Hammerhead in that category. I consider him as much as a pure scorer as Gata or Bixie.
He placed Hammerhead as DPS (Scorer secondary) which I think is a fair interpretation. Yes, you can get 9 spaces in one activation and, yes, you can knock an opponent out of the zone as you do so, but (with at least two poison tokens) you can also pretty reliably gib 3 or less health Aristos. So I'd argue it's hard to call what side he falls on predominantly.
Dart is a pretty good scorer, as is FinalBoss(though I find FinalBoss pretty good at everything). I would use them as pure scorers. I think you could consider Kozmo scorer in some ways, but that would be more of a secondary role.
Yeah, many of those have scorer as a secondary role, and are listed in the other articles, I just didn’t want to list the same model twice :)
I think that I agree with @Kelthret that Hammerhead is a Scorer first and Striker second. But it certainly does seem to be one aspect of the game begging for expansion.
Scorer certainly has the most contention about who fits into it. Not surprising, as there are very few 'pure' scorers. I agree that Hammerhead is very good at it. I think I should maybe write a second article about hybrid score pieces, as there are a fair few of them :)
