Aristeia!: Masters of Puppets

About this expansion

Aristeia!: Masters of Puppets is a 2019 expansion for 2 players, offering approximately 90 minutes of play. It introduces Fiddler and Gaia, two highly skilled engineers whose robotic creations bring new possibilities to the HexaDome.

Fiddler uses her Jackbots to combine damage with control. As a DPS fighter, she can attack offensively while also making it more difficult for opponents to reach the scoring zones. Her engineering skills and physical modifications have made her a lethal competitor in the arena.

Gaia takes a different approach as a controller support. Her Gorgoneions provide her team with unprecedented mobility while allowing her to hinder or even nullify enemy movement. This makes Gaia a powerful presence when positioning and access to the HexaDome matter most.

The expansion introduces a new mechanic for Controllers and their Minions: robotic devices that let these characters take their abilities to another level. Fiddler’s Jackbots and Gaia’s Gorgoneions each offer a distinct way to influence the arena and shape the flow of play.

• Fiddler: a DPS fighter combining damage with access control through Jackbots.
• Gaia: a controller support focused on mobility and restricting enemy movement.
• Controllers and Minions: a new mechanical focus built around robotic devices.

With its focus on cyber-electronics, robotic allies, and unconventional movement control, Aristeia!: Masters of Puppets expands the ways players can contest the HexaDome. These two engineers bring a distinctly new form of control to the arena.
