Hero Rebalance: Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)

Notes from Design:

With this Green Goblin rebalance, we wanted to bring him a bit more in line with more modern 5-star designs while staying true to some of the character's original design intent. We rebuilt him using our new design methodology, expectations around ability costing, and overall expected match play length. With this in mind, we reduced the costs of his abilities, brought his generation ability, health, and match damage modifiers up to modern 5-stars while leaving the original concept of the Green Goblin intact.

 

He should be relatively faster and a bit more interesting to use for controlling the board with his countdown tiles, as well as a boost to his passive for fortifying a significant amount more tiles.
