View Full Version : Most Competitive Justice League Keyword?

In light of recent Crisis OP, let's do this analysis/team-creation at unrestricted 500 points.


So with Crisis out and the various Justice League keywords fleshed out a bit but still fragmented, I was just wondering which one of the 6 or so variations does everyone think is the most competitive?

My favorites are these 3:

Is the best the classic Justice League of America (http://www.hcrealms.com/units-results.php?sortby=id&sort=ASC&nmeOpt=contains&nmeVal=&uniOpt=is&uniVal=any&setOpt=is&setVal=any&pntOpt=is&pntValL=&pntValU=&rnkOpt=is&rnkVal=any&rarOpt=is&rarVal=any&staOpt=is&staVal=any&scuOpt=is&scuVal=any&paiOpt=is&paiVal=any&temOpt=is&temVal=any&spdOpt=%3D&spdVal=&spdAbl=any&attOpt=%3D&attVal=&attAbl=any&defOpt=%3D&defVal=&defAbl=any&dmgOpt=%3D&dmgVal=&dmgAbl=any&sptOpt=is&sptVal=any&sptTrans=any&aktOpt=is&aktVal=any&dmtOpt=is&dmtVal=any&rngOpt=is&rngValL=&rngValU=&tarOpt=is&tarVal=&colOpt=is&colValL=&colValU=&typOpt=is&typVal=any&typAE=any&kwdOpt=is&kwdVal=Justice+League+of+America), with all of the most familiar faces and "rookie" versions of our favorite heroes? The biggest thing this keyword has going for it is its strong number of support pieces which should be a HUGE ADVANTAGE in larger point games: all incarnations of the BT-ing Atom, the host of highly-playable Starro slaves, etc. Not to mention pretty much the exclusivity of JL-keyworded TK is here...


JLA (http://www.hcrealms.com/units-results.php?sortby=id&sort=ASC&nmeOpt=contains&nmeVal=&uniOpt=is&uniVal=any&setOpt=is&setVal=any&pntOpt=is&pntValL=&pntValU=&rnkOpt=is&rnkVal=any&rarOpt=is&rarVal=any&staOpt=is&staVal=any&scuOpt=is&scuVal=any&paiOpt=is&paiVal=any&temOpt=is&temVal=any&spdOpt=%3D&spdVal=&spdAbl=any&attOpt=%3D&attVal=&attAbl=any&defOpt=%3D&defVal=&defAbl=any&dmgOpt=%3D&dmgVal=&dmgAbl=any&sptOpt=is&sptVal=any&sptTrans=any&aktOpt=is&aktVal=any&dmtOpt=is&dmtVal=any&rngOpt=is&rngValL=&rngValU=&tarOpt=is&tarVal=&colOpt=is&colValL=&colValU=&typOpt=is&typVal=any&typAE=any&kwdOpt=is&kwdVal=JLA) keyword is no slouch either, but its choices are much more limited to higher point cost figures (Kyle Rayner, JL Flash) as well as one of the cheapest and best Superman figures out there: The Man of Steel! However, what is arguably this keyword's greatest advantage is one 27-point wheelchair lady: Oracle herself.

Justice League (http://www.hcrealms.com/units-results.php?sortby=id&sort=ASC&nmeOpt=contains&nmeVal=&uniOpt=is&uniVal=any&setOpt=is&setVal=any&pntOpt=is&pntValL=&pntValU=&rnkOpt=is&rnkVal=any&rarOpt=is&rarVal=any&staOpt=is&staVal=any&scuOpt=is&scuVal=any&paiOpt=is&paiVal=any&temOpt=is&temVal=any&spdOpt=%3D&spdVal=&spdAbl=any&attOpt=%3D&attVal=&attAbl=any&defOpt=%3D&defVal=&defAbl=any&dmgOpt=%3D&dmgVal=&dmgAbl=any&sptOpt=is&sptVal=any&sptTrans=any&aktOpt=is&aktVal=any&dmtOpt=is&dmtVal=any&rngOpt=is&rngValL=&rngValU=&tarOpt=is&tarVal=&colOpt=is&colValL=&colValU=&typOpt=is&typVal=any&typAE=any&kwdOpt=is&kwdVal=Justice+League) is also a strong keyword, although team-building possibility is limited to more or less 1 version of a team because of its small piece selection. However, it's a compromise between the high-priced "JLA" keyworded pieces and the cheaper "Justice League of America" ones. Also, the much-coveted new Crisis KC Superman (http://www.hcrealms.com/units.php?page=dial&id=cr105&searchstring=isible`%20=%20'1'%20AND%20`keywords`%20LIKE%20'%|Justice%20League|%'%20GROUP%20BY%20`id `%20ORDER%20BY%20`id`%20ASC) has the "Justice League" keyword...


Now, granted, there are a few lynchpin pieces that fit in every imaginable category (ex. V Superman, JL Batman), but it's time to look outside the box!


Decisions decisions! It's the big show, it's the fight for the super-exclusive awesome Crisis-Supergirl-Event Dial + Starro + Galactus + Foom tournament day!

What team would you play and why?

So I guess there's no love for the league.
Sorry I tried... :(

Most competitive? I really can't say.

However, I am planning on running a JLA keyword team in the 600 point, DC-only unrestricted event. Mostly because I'm a big fan of the JLA and specifically the JLA-JLA. Morrison's run on the book is the finest the team has ever seen.

The only definites I have right now are JL Batman, Oracle and In Contact with Oracle. I originally had two theme teams set-up and was figuring out how to tweak them with feats, but the new theme team change has me shifting things again.

Most of it is which big guns to go with. V Icons Superman is a good bet, and probably one of the best choices I could choose, but I also want to use the new Kyle Rayner. Kyle will also allow a little more room for other figures and feats.

But for my money, JLA. Not necessarily more competitive...just that it's my favorite run on the JLA and it has my favorite Flash (Wally) and my favorite earth Green Lantern (Kyle).

I ran a Justice League Theme team today with JL Zatanna, OotS bats, V icons superman, and JL green arrow, and went 2-1 with it. They all have their pros and cons, but I really like zatanna, who seems to be quite the MVP due to her incap, pc, outwit, and support. oh, and she's a free moving taxi.

Since every keyword has Icons Superman and JL Batman, you can pretty much pick whatever you want since those two guys can pretty much guarantee you'll put up a fight.
