**still being cagey to prevent spoiling things

All in all, we were very happy with the experience. If we were younger and had more free time, we probably would have dragged it out a little more just to do more of the scenarios we didn't do (there are so many scenarios in Frosthaven) but we really wanted to free up our weekends and play other games so we just decided to push towards the end at some point.

Mercenary highlights:

Base Set: Boneshaper and Banner Spear were real standouts for both power and fun factor, though both took a little to get going. I personally played the Boneshaper and regret not just playing it again after retiring the first time- that's how much fun it was for me!

Unlockables: "Astral," "Meteor," and "Prism" were all standouts for just how much cool, game breaking stuff we could get done with them, but I think if you asked anyone in our group, "Shackles" was definitely the character that had us going "holy shit this is so crazy good" every other scenario.

Jaws of the Lion: Voidcaller- If you bring any Jaws of the Lion character in to Gloomhaven 2e or Frosthaven, bring this one. The others are fun, but the Voidcaller was really, really fun.

Overall we were really liked the improvements going from Gloomhaven 1e -> Frosthaven, especially with the Mercenaries. Gloomhaven had a few dud characters but it felt like Frosthaven was nothing but bangers with some truly excellent characters. Maybe the Drifter was a little dull, but still effective. Have fun out there, gamers.
