Help with first Tourny

[MKelly67]

I have watched a couple of tournaments and I have entered in one this saturday. I have a few figures so my choices are limited, but here goes:

Prof X U
Dr Strange R
Human Torch R
Cyclops R
Logan E

I put these together to experience alot of different powers.
My strategy is to use the Human Torch and Dr Strange as taxis/fighters and Cyclops and Logan for fighters (range and close). Prof X for Mind Control/Leadership.

I am looking for any suggestions for a team that will use alot of the powers and will be fun to play. I am not looking to win just play.

[Xavier PhD]

it would be easier to help you if you gave a list of all your figures...

hmmm okay this is good, you have pretty much enough pieces to be competetive and actually win a tournament.

i think half the fun is making your own team and seeing how it does so i'll give you some guidelines for an easy to use straight forward team and if you want i'll make a team for you later.

1) you have plenty of medics... need one
2) i'll tell you right now, with the list of possible taxis you have, you NEED the doombot and you NEED an avenger or brotherhood member.
3) you need one character with at least 11 attack and 3 damage
4) do not use a character above 120 points for a 300 point game although e thor might work and do not use above 100 points for a 200 point game
5) think in terms of actions... make your team so that there will be a minimum of pushing.

okay, build another team and i'm SURE it will be better.

:p

[harles2000]

look into v or e she-hulk, e logan, e *and* v aim medic, r doombot, e black panther and r scarlet with or e black cat(less PC, but she has leap/climb, which can get you out of trouble or into range easier)

[MKelly67]

OK guys, how about this team

She-Hulk E
Logan E
Both do three damage and good defense, pluse Logan has Claws after his damage goes to 1

Doombot R
Invisible Girl R
Taxis (thought I would need 2)
Invisible Girl's defend will come in handy

Boomerang E
Good range and multiple attacks.

Blank Panther R
Outwit/Stealth

AIM Medic E
Support

This gives me 300 and Avengers/Fantastic Four/Hydra/Sinister Syndicate team abilites for the Doombot

[Xavier PhD]

thats a much better team IMO than the first one...

but invisible girl (rookie) cannot be a taxi since she doesn't fly... other than that all i can really think of is that your attack is a little low but you i guess you make up for that in invuln, toughness, and defend.


one other thing, i think since you have boomerang you need a shiled agent on the team... that way you can energy explosion with 2 targets amped up to at least 2 damage (and a maximum of 4 damage to each player if they are situated right)

:p

[harles2000]

that doesnt sound bad at all but one flaw - rookie invisible girl doesnt have flight, so no taxi. sorry

so maybe drop the invis girl and pick up a shield sniper and a shield medic

[MKelly67]

Duh!, about Invisible girl. Here is a revision to the team

She-Hulk E
Logan E
Both do three damage and good defense, plus Logan has Claws after his damage goes to 1

Doombot R X2
(I do not like using duplicates, but these are robots, so I guess it is okay.)
Taxis and Wildcard abilities

Black Panther R
Outwit and Stealth

Boomerang E
Good range and multiple attacks.

Shield Sniper R
Support for Boomerang

Hydra Medic E
Support

This gives me 300 and Avengers/Fantastic Four/Hydra/Sinister Syndicate/SHIELD team abilites for the Doombot

That last one is a pretty well balanced team. I think you can do well with it. She-Hulk and Logan are both solid pieces. Use She-Hulk to lead the attack and follow up with Logan. Be sure to use her charge to pick up an object to add to your damage.

[ESA661]

youe team looks great. very well balanced :). however e she hulk is very close in points to the veteran and maybe you should rearrange the team a little so you can swap she hulks.

[scowlingone]

I think it's important to get the veteran AIM Medic in there somewhere; it's the best non-LE pure medic in the Marvel game.

And believe me when I say that the best medic you can afford is always the way to go. Heck, at 300 points I don't even mind playing with 30-40 points worth of medics.

I would consider a revision of MKelly's team:

V AIM Medic 16
E AIM Medic 17
V She-Hulk 120
R Doombot 27
R Mandroid Armor 28
E Logan 49
E Black Cat 32
E Hydra Operative 11

Total: 300 points.

Use the Mandroid to TK any model 10 spaces. She-Hulk is a good choice, as she can Leap/Climb out of combat onceshe gets hurt. Black Cat is just as effective as Black Panther in a support role; I find that PC is often more of a game winner than Outwit.

You've got Avengers, Hydra and SHIELD team abilities for the Doombot and Black cat to take advantage of, so you have three free moves on the team.

I'd play this. Heck, I may well play a version of this on Saturday. She-Hulk is a brutally effective model.

[LuckyJ]

If I were you, I would not use Prob Control and Outwit in such as small-point game.

If you use a She-Hulk, the Veteran is MORE THAN WORTH 10 extra points. The FF ability isn't very good, and she would give your doombot his free movement. For 10 points, let's see what you get:
1) Double the Charge (2 extra clicks)
2) Defense and attack one point higher on every click.
3) an extra click of life
4) 10 movement instead of 8
5) an extra click of invulnerability
6) an extra click of 4 damage

She's really good, the veteran, and I just thought I'd let you know. But I wouldn't use 120 points on her unless you've got a dumpster or a coke machine from the adventure packs.

[MKelly67]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I like all the ideas. However, I just found out that the judge changed the points to 200 :rolleyes:. I came up with the following two teams from my 300 pt team:

Team 1
She Hulk R
Bommerang E
DoomBot R x2
Black Panther R
Shield Sniper R
Hydra Medic E
200 pt

Team 2
Logan E
Boomerang E
Doombot R x2
Black Panther R
Hydra Medic V
Shield Sniper R
199 pt

To LuckyJ -- I kept Black Panther for the Avengers team ability

Is it a good idea to keep the 2 Doombots? I thought the free move for both was worth it.

[Xavier PhD]

the 300 point team was fantastic.

i think both 200 point teams will have trouble on offense.

but still good teams, i'd go with the she hulk team and make sure you place your objects in easy to get spots because you will need them.

[MKelly67]

Thanks everbody. I will go with the She-Hulk team and let you know how it goes.
