This promotional figure brings a new fighter to your team, packing unique abilities and a touch of luck. With 5 action points to spend on attacks that hit multiple targets, Young Ogrest can wreak considerable havoc on the battlefield. But beware, because the strategy here involves a bit of 'push your luck': if he doesn't deal damage in a turn, he recovers all his health! This adds an interesting 'all or nothing' layer to your tactical decisions. Think carefully if it's worth risking a turn without dealing damage to ensure survival, or if it's better to focus on attacking and hoping to hit. The 'variable player powers' mechanic is already a Krosmaster classic, and Young Ogrest fits right in, offering a new dynamic for those who already master the base game. He brings the character's essence with him, featuring fun references to his past and his relationship with Dathura, adding a bit of lore for fans. If you enjoy Krosmaster and want to expand your combat options with a character that mixes firepower with a risky recovery mechanic, Young Ogrest is a cool addition. He's perfect for those who like to plan every move but aren't afraid to play with fate in their hands (or dice!). ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game Krosmaster: Arena to use Young Ogrest?
