Feats

[asgardianwarrior]

What are the best feats in your eyes?

In this please tell me why you can thunderbolt bullseye(WoS).

[Rellkin]

um all feats are good in the right situation. that said this is what my venue deems the most bang for your buck feats.

Fortitude
Protected
In Contact With Oracle
Trickshot
Brilliant Tactician
Double Time
Vendetta

and you can T-bolt Bullseye cause he has the prerequisite keyword.

[rpweld03]

I am a HUGE fan of Swingline for the speedsters I like to play. They get to ignore hindering AND they get a +1 bonus to speed.

Other than that, I mostly use Fortitude to protect bricks, Automatic Regen for those who can use it, and Mental Shields on those with mind control. Oh, and Sometimes Lunge. Basically, I just use the utility feats.

[asgardianwarrior]

So even if the keywords have some sort of avengers in it, you can thunderbolt someone?

Used to be you could T-Bolt anyone with Avengers TA.

Things have changed. Now you can only T-Bolt guys who have the Thunderbolts keyword.

I love Taunt. Nothing like having old Black Manta force your opponent to waste an action going after him. Honestly, I like it simply because it's fun.

Auto-Regeneration. To be fair, this is how Regen should work to begin with.

Ambidextrous. It's fun, and it's reasonably priced for what it does...and is priced based on logic. Plus, Running Shot dual target Mind Control with Jean Grey is just too much fun.

Darkness Within. It just allows you to make people so much more thematic. "Doom says you must suffer so that he can be more powerful!"

(notice I didn't really throw down the "uber" feats...most of them I can do without)

no ATAs are longer feats they also no longer are assined based on TAs but keywords. For the curent ATAs check out the normal distrabution articles on the Heroclix web site.

There is a handful of "duh" feats WK has made. By "duh" I mean they are priced so cheaply and can be so effective you almost have to use them.

They would be:
Lunge
Protected
Loner
Not So Special
Inside Information
Maneuver
Contingency Plan
Warbound

Then there are some really good feats provided they are on the right figure:
Auto-Regeneration
Nova Blast
Armor-Piercing
Shellhead
Stunning Blow
Brilliant Tactician
Submerged
Nano-Bots
Inspiring Command
Entangle
Camouflage
Coordination
Pounce
Alias

If you are playing among friends or have a judge who is experimental you can follow my link in my signature to the custom feats my venue uses. They will really crank your game to 11.

But why wouldn't you just make the level 10 stronger?

The old ATA feat cards are no longer any good, they are now updated as ATA cards.
While the old ATA feat cards worked on the team symbol on the character's base; the new updated ATA cards work on the character's keywords.

You can get them here:

and DC

This one goes to eleven.

Anyway, my recommendations:
Lunge
Thwart
Dissent
Contingency Plan
Armor Piercing

I also try to mix it up, and use feats that I didn't use to, just to see what fits my personal play style.

I've mostly stopped using Fortitude and Brilliant Tactician, because I got tired of feeling like I "had" to play them.

[kh2003]

Stunning blow is my personal favourite

[MaxFortune]

Stunning Blow -- which makes Incap not only useful but deadly.

Mercenary -- the most abused feat in my toolkit. Three Batman Allies + Alpha Huntress + Mercenary = somebody getting a crossbow bolt up their strap

[tyroclix]

But why wouldn't you just make the level 10 stronger?

Because of the children. You always have to think about the children...

[invisibo]

the single best feat is protected--while people have posted lots of good feats, protected is the best.

[traitorarmor]

My favs tend to be;

Lunge 5 pts
Entangle 8 pts
Stunning Blow 10 pts
Not So Special 3 pts
Auto-Regen 12 pts
Outsmart 10 pts

Those ones I will actually try to build into my builds if possible.

Unstoppable 5 pts
Manuver 8 pts
Opportunist 10 pts
Recharge 5 pts
Contingency Plan 12 pts

These ones are to fill points.........I really like Opportunist but I very rarely find a good build to use it with. :ermm:

Thunderbolts, although no longer officially a Feat, is one of the best "Feats" (peripherals). Providing that much versatility to a variety of already useful characters and the fact that ATAs can now be Wildcarded? For the points it is possibly one of the best "bang-for-your-buck" peripherals to add to a character.

I love Taunt. Nothing like having old Black Manta force your opponent to waste an action going after him. Honestly, I like it simply because it's fun.

LOL I like using it with a 12:bolt: fig like Tomar Re. Keep another long range sniper adjacent, like Crisis GA, and have Tomar Taunt someone into GA's range. It's a costly tactic but fun if you can pull it off!

Lately, I've been a fan of using Immortal Contempt with SR Valkyrie. Great feat for her.

Lately, I found myself getting more and more away from feats. It used to be that I'd play Fortitude on all my bricks, Armor Piercing, Protected etc etc etc. We'd play big 2,000 point games, and I'd end up with 100~200 points in feats :confused:

Now, I'm playing 2,000 point games with less than 50 points in feats. Recently I played a 2,000 point JSA (keyword) team with AP and Swingline on Jay Garrick (the old HT Unique :p) and Shellhead and Protected on SR Spectre.

These days I find myself using Lunge, Swingline, Trick Shot, and Contingency Plan the most.

I don't like Protected a whole lot. there are few characters I will put it on anymore (mostly Power Cosmic/Quintessence folks who are capable of deflecting powerful blasts or using powerful shields, oh, and Man of Steel for that Defend click).

Pounce is now restored to its former glory though, and I really like if for my old school Spider-Man figs.

Lunge is a great card. One of my favorite feats, and a staple 'filler' feat on a lot of teams for me.

Alias is another one I'll throw on quite often, to fill up 3 points.

Ambush is great for those figures that 'can use' Stealth ;)

I'm loving the low point feats more than the high point ones.

[PsychoHippie]

I seem hardly even able to play Dr. Doom without putting Fortitude on him. It's a crutch and I know it, but I've even caught myself putting it on him in situations where I KNOW I WON'T EVEN BE FACING ANY OUTWIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should join a support group or something...

No one's mentioned Sidekick yet? I love that one. Especially when I'm sidekicking someone to Hulk 2099.

[Dekion]

My venue does not use feats or BFC.Maybe it's better that way.
