does collateral damage supes have the keyword? he would pwn with all that perplex!! wait... u dont have perplex... R U CRAZY!!! guess ur hoping outwit wins the game... stupid ICWO, that makes ur team suck IMO.

[lastcastle]

unfortunately the only superman with gotham keyword is man of steel le and world's finest. I originally built the team with legacy vet batman and man of steel but I had the points for world's finest so i changed it.

i think thats the one im talking about, it has the bat ally TA. He is really good with that kind of help!

[lastcastle]

you are thinking of the the new guy night superman but unfortunately he hasn't got the gotham keyword, just the ta. world's finest and the man of steel mail away are the only ones that do. does anyone know if they ever errated the oracle from alpha combo with icwo. does she still grant esd/perplex/ and mind control? or is it just one power?

Bat Sentry is Unique, so make sure that your judge/opponent will allow three of them in the game.

I'd also consider using Commissioner Gordon from Alpha (50 points) and Contingency Plan. At 1500 points, with 15 actions (unless you're playing with a lower action cap), you'll definitely have leftover actions, allowing you to build up tokens on the card easily. Also, I'd leave the Commish in the back, hiding, until the end of the game -- his three clicks of 17 Defend can come in VERY handy at the end of the game, when it gets harder to hit that 17. Just look at World's Finest -- for 10 of its 18 clicks, it has less than a 17 Defense. If your WF gets smacked around, just bring up the Commish and give WF a 17! The Commish's numbers are better too (8 range, 10 attack, 2 damage up front).

our tourney is going with 8 actions for this event and they do allow multiples of certain characters but for the most part it is highlander rules. bat sentry is one of the exceptions though.
commisioner gordon from alpha was originally on the team but capt gordon is so busted that I can't not use him. the only one i was iffy on to use was anarchy but a little prob couldn't hurt.

[WolvieFan9]

Well, at least your venue is making sense with the Bat Sentry rules -- it SHOULDN'T have been a Unique.

I think Anarchy will be good for the team, especially with that high a point value. Prob won't hurt, you're right, and at that high a point value, you probably won't mind using a 70 point figure as a tie-up/sacrifice piece if need be.

If you roll a three then a critical miss you will be swearing this statement!:p

As for the team, while I'm not a fan of World's Finest, I love all the Bat affiliated figures. They can do a lot of damage, or just cause havoc, and if one dies it's just 70 or 80 points usually.

I would swap Robin, for AA robin put flashbang and protected on him. and maybe use contingency plan along with in contact with oracle. so you can get a max plus 3 using those two feats, and any other perplex you use.
You could also put Thundering blow on Worlds Finest OR OoTS Batman, it grants you a +1 to damage to all friendly charcters who attack after the character feated with thundering blow. Gotta love feats that give you a free use of a modifier in terms of not costing a non free, or one use free power action to use. Like vendetta and stuff like that. And if I may suggest, if its a friendly game, use bizarro world and or deep shadows to help.

You can get buy without deep shadows, but bizarro is great, roll a crit miss and the target heals, roll a crit hit and the target takes an action token off.
I used Bizarro worl with ExtraOrdinary day, 3's were crit misses, and 11's were crit hits. and my opponents lands a 3 or an 11 often, it was great to get free clicks of healing throughout a long big point game such as teh one you will be playing.

my 10cents.

[lastcastle]

there was definately going to be a pc on the team it was just a matter of whether it would be anarchy or alpha riddler. I was planning on bringing deep shadows but i expect a lot of theme teams so it will most likely get cancelled. arkham robin is a definate possibility plus it leaves me room for a couple more feats.

IN CONTACT WITH ORACLE†
Cost: 10 per character chosen
Choose two or more characters; Oracle may not be chosen. Chosen characters are Agents. As long as it is not the target on Mind Control, when an Agent is given an action you may choose to give one of its combat values +1 until the beginning of your next turn. If Oracle is on your force, you may remove her from the battlefield at the beginning of the game and place her on this card. At the beginning of any of your turns, you may assign a power action to any Agent with zero or one action token and turn Oracle’s dial to any click. The Agent given the action may use any power showing on Oracle’s dial until any Agent with zero or one action token is given a power action to turn Oracle’s dial. If your last Agent is KOd while Oracle is on this card, Oracle is also KOd.

Yes, you can use all of the powers showing on Oracle's dial, although you cannot use a power if the character already has the power showing on his dial.

NBPerp took the question to Game Design awhile back, and GD did not disallow BA Oracle from being used on ICwO.

[lastcastle]

if that is the case, then arkham robin is definately in over the crisis and thwart will have to go to someone else. making him an agent and giving him esd to go with his combat reflexes like nightwing is sweet.

[lastcastle]

updated team with arkham robin instead of crisis and added a few more feats.

thank you all for your suggestions my next team will probably be jla or justice league of america. want to try the new wonder woman with inspiring command. I think she could be busted.
