Captain Cosmic: Requital

[Tskami]

When Hugh Lowsley - the hero known as Captain Cosmic - was attacked by OblivAeon, he would have been slain instantly if not for the last minute intervention by his brother Nigel, the villainous Infinitor. In a moment of rare clarity, Infinitor could sense the impending assault based on the whispers in his mind. He used his twisted projections and connection with the vast cosmic power to tear a hole through reality, hurtling himself to the location and moment of his brother's would-be demise. Instead, OblivAeon's blow caught Infinitor full-force, but not before Nigel caught his brother's hand in what would be their final moment.

Now, Captain Cosmic harnesses both his power and his brother's. The whispers of OblivAeon only serve to fuel his rage. He will quiet the voice of his brother's killer.

So theories. Heroic Infinitor is my guess for the enemy. Not sure what else is needed though

Just got him! Unlock log here: https://pastebin.com/HnJW2Jtw
Focused on playing a bunch of constructs. Ended up beating Infinitor with Captain Cosmic after a big Construct Cataclysm. Picture: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1180065451

Well, with Dethkite's unlock and screenshot, that theory is out the window. Could be one and/or both Infinitor variants for it.

That was fast.

I wonder if I'm first? I tagged Handelabra in a post on Facebook.

Yeah I can stop this really boring game where I’m trying to beat heroic Infinitor without him flipping. :)

Failed; tried having Captain Cosmic just do as much damage to Infinitor as possible while not doing much with Manifestations or Constructs. So those are likely involved; CC killed 6 Manifestations himself in Dethkite's game, and all unique Constructs (though that seems to step on XPW CC's toes a little bit).

My successful unlock: https://pastebin.com/Rr5ZsuK5

Based on what I did versus Dethkite and so as to not step on XPW CC's toes, my guess for the unlock is Win a game as Captain Cosmic against Infinitor. Captain Cosmic must destroy at least 5 Manifestations, and must deal the final blow on Infinitor.

If it's not that, it's probably something requiring a certain number of Constructs *and* Manifestations destroyed.

Just got him, here's an unlock: https://pastebin.com/BLHLCDKr

Team was Legacy, TLT, CC, Scholar of the Infinite and Fugue State Parse at Freedom Tower vs Infinitor.

Notable things: I let Cosmic do a lot of damage and break a lot of manifestations and Constructs, as well as score a killing blow. The rest of the team supported as best they could, with Legacy buffing damage while trying to find his ring, Tachyon doing all kinds of AoE and silencing multiple nasty manifestations while giving us all the cards, Scholar was tanking up a storm, and Parse was buffing damage and feeding extra plays to Tachyon and Cosmic. Also found a hilarious appreciation for Ironclad Maintenence Bay, Fugue State Parse and Hypersonic Assault...saved me from some nasty hits multiple times XD

Also unlocked.
Legacy, TLT, Tempest, Omni-X and CC in MDP.

All constructs were out and subsequently destroyed with Construct Cataclysm; a blow which destroyed Infinitor.

Not much of note other than that to be honest - CC probably destroyed fewer Manifestations than other heroes.

No log I'm afraid, as I was on my phone.

Ok what about the card Whispers of Oblivion in Infinitors deck? I just had a failed unlock and the card never hit play through solid deck control by Parse. Story wise it would make sense.

[Mr Mopsy]

Just unlocked Captain Cosmic did the final blow. Whispers of Oblivion was played the round before. No manifestations remained Construct Cataclysm was not played.

Failed unlock: https://pastebin.com/degxAFPk

I tried a game with Legacy, F6Tachyon, Hunted Naturalist, Xtreme Prime Wardens Tempest, and Captain Cosmic vs Infinitor in Final Wasteland (given that we've had unlocks in Freedom Tower and Mobile Defense Platform, the environment didn't seem to matter).

Captain Cosmic double skipped all his turns. I got through the entire villain deck, though Machinations of a Madman never entered play. Each type of Manifestation entered play and was destroyed. Infinitor flipped once and back once.

I'm guessing the unlock requires Captain Cosmic to do something or requires Machination of a Madman to enter play. I also noticed that Machination of a Madman was played in every unlock but none of the failed, so my guess is the following:

Defeat Infinitor with Captain Cosmic on the team. Machinations of a Madman must enter play.

Tried (and failed) again: https://pastebin.com/0YFFPzYE

Similar set up, but with Ra instead of Hunted Naturalist. Still double skipped all of Captain Cosmic's turns. This time Machinations of a Madman entered play, though Insanity didn't.

I did a bit of analysis on the unlocks. In each of them, all of Infinitor's cards entered play with exception of Whispers of Oblivion, which did not enter play during Tskami's unlock. In failed attempts, including Tskami's most recent, either Insanity or Machinations of a Madman did not enter play.

I'll play a bit with double skip Cosmic tomorrow to try to get all of Infinitor's cards out in one playthrough, just to verify that Cosmic does in fact need to do stuff to get this unlock (or at least rule out Infinitor's plays as being the only requirement beyond the game setup).
