View Full Version : CT's Best Uniques
Friends, Romans, countrymen,
Lend me your ear/opinion! a friend and I are splitting a case of CT and diciding the figs according to type (VER, U) and then taking turns picking after duplicates are doled out.
My question is, what are the best Uniques in order? Basically list them from best to worst. that way he and I have a good gauge to use.
You all rock!

As Cybervenom said, replace Nightcrawler with Super-Skrull, shunt Kurt to #3.
(he is my favourite X-Man not counting Magneto, but he's not all that and a packet of crisps, y'know. Don't listen to ebay and it's prices...)

what! you Dutchhater!:D
Shunt Kurt to Nr.3 ! of with his head !!
I alraedy have Kurt on nr.3 and 2 and 1,because he's the ONLY unique which I must have at all costs!
OK, maybe not $50 that's just ridicilous.
But the be honest I'm tempted, because IF anyone else pulls Kurt out of a booster I still won't get him.:( :eek:
Here's what I hate:
1) One of my friends pulled a Nightcrawler and only played clix like twice!
2) Another friend of mine came across a Nightcrawler in a comic shop and doesn't even play clix, he just likes Kurt.
3) I'VE DUMPED ENOUGH CASH IN CT BOOSTERS TO FEED 100 STARVING CHILDREN IN SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY FOR A YEAR AND I ONLY GOT SPIDEY & TITANIA UNIQUES!

Spiral is quite good. Must get one.
I managed to pull Nightcrawler and Mr. Fixit on the same DAY. The week after that, it was Moondragon and Spiral. The only CT uniques I’m missing now are Fury, Skull, Mojo, and Titania.
I only say this to drive CPUX insane with jealousy.
Of course, this is after buying 20 boosters without pulling a single unique.
As for the thread, I’d have to rate the top 5 best uniques as:
1) Nightcrawler. Huge movement, 2 damage (only Invulnerable characters are safe, unless you’ve got Perplex as well), decent attack, and more difficult to hit than anyone else in the game.
2) Moondragon. She’s a great swiss army knife, with mind-control, TK, and Psychic Blast and 10 range. And for 71 points, she’s pretty cheap. The downside is the shallow-dial – she loses each power after 2 clicks of damage.
3) Super-Skrull. Rock solid, deep dial all the way down. Start off with a Running Shot for 4 damage, push for another running shot, then grab an object, walk up, and smash them. His defense is steady, and he’s a steal at 127 points. Only downside is that his defense makes him difficult to heal.
4) Spiral. BCF, Flurry, MOD. Her weakness is that you need a TKer to have her be most effective. Works well on Brotherhood teams.
5) Nick Fury. He is what makes the all-Shield team viable. A nice rainbow of abilities for the points, which makes it all the more frustrating that I haven’t pulled him yet.

It's quite easy to sneak a peek inside the boosters without opening them. Buying by the case is the only way to guarantee a really good Unique pull. With my CT case I got 8 Uniques: Nightcrawler, Fixit, Spidey, Moondragon, Mojo, Medusa, Super Skrull (x2). With the extra Super Skrull and desirable extras of Vets Logan, Doc Ock and Doom (among others), I was able to trade to get Spiral, Red Skull and an extra Mojo.

ok im sure im gonna get flamed for this but of the top three uniques i would NOT list nightcrawler. now here is why: cost, he is 83 points, and what do you get for 83 points....
hypersonic speed, a nice ability but hardly worth almost 1/2 a 200 point army and close to 1/3 a 300 point. Yes he may be the only marvel character yet with hypersonic speed and it is surley and expensive ability, but its good for hitting medics and steathly ones but after that its rarley very effective. And any player worth his or her salt when he sees hypersonic speed will protect his medic on a roof top etc. next you start with a 14 movement, a good speed, and it fits the hit and run medic killer but its not worth 84 points. i can get a 14 speed on V quicksilver for a mere 28 pts, while he cant do what nightcrawler can he is a perfectly good tie up fig. He starts with mere 10 attack. while 10 is about average for his point cost it is on the low end of average. nightcrawler does have a fabulous defence of 18 with super senses which is his high point. The 2 damage is nice but hardly note worthy. 7 clicks of life, not bad about average. So over all you pay 83 points for a glorifyed medic killer. Thank you but ill take elektra, logan, blade etc for that role and they are more versitile. Yes those characters take alot more time to get to the medics and dont have the durablity of nightcrawler but I can get a U elektra and a E logan for about the same points and in a game they will prove far more useful.
as to my top choice so for CT uniques....
1) Moondragon - simply put the best fig with mind control yet. white queen comes close but this girl can fly and has a 10 range. Then she gets regen in the end. plus some psychic blast and tk. A true swiss army knife and a good deal in most games.
2)Spiral - shes the one hit wonder, toss her at any one and with a little help from black cat or scarlet witch she can take out most characters in he two hits. Plus she is only 56 points and has doom team. Her only draw back is battle fury so you gotta tk her, but once she gets there she is truly a force to reckon with. She usually donest survive long but you can usually take out 100 points before she dies making it a very good sacrifice.
3) Nick Fury/Spiderman - I cant decide between these two, 62 and 67 points respectivily, both good mid range character. Fury is great for a stealth team and a must for a shield team. But him in hindering terrian and wait till someone comes in range, but a fig with toughness behind him and let mastermind goto work. With runnign shot and outwit later this guy will pull his weight. Spiderman can hold his own , super sense finnally combinded with a mid range defence of 16 makes him a soild choice. He can take one click and still hold his 10 attack. later he gets flurry with 2 damage. all in all a soild character.
next on the list i would but nightcrawler and superskrull.
just my thoughts.
As some have said, Super Skrull is very good, I'd probably say that he's number 1. I also think that Red Skull and Enchantress are underrated.

yes !yes ! listen to this man: Nightcrawler is worthless.;)
So if you have one send/trade/sell him to me !!!!
Like I stated earlier (or was it in another Nightcrawler thread), I could care less if Nightcrawler was bad or not , It IS simply the ONLY unique that I must have ( I hope WK doesn't bring out any of my other favourite X-men as Unique-onlies)!:rolleyes:
Why ? because he's unique ! If he was R/E/V It was still a musthave for me but then I could get 1 !
Why? WK, Why ?:mad: :confused: :eek: :(
