View Full Version : Teen Titans help, which Robin?

The format next week is two 400 point teams, your opponent picks which you use.

I'm building a Teen Titans team for it, and I put on the CR Robin, because I like the Tim a lot and the outwit is a great addition, also I don't have much other options for breaking invulnerability.

Then I remembered Nightwing is the same amount of points, actually has the TA, and leadership which would help my 5 man team, and of course the Outsiders TA, which speaks for itself.

The team looks as follows without either:


JL Flash 114

CR Speedy 45

HT Hawk 69

UN Raven 81
- Automatic Regeneration 12

321, exactly enough for just one Robin or Nightwing

Any thoughts on which to use?

The golden boy is probably the Crisis Nightwing. AA Robin is also acceptable, as it leaves you room for feats. Avoid Crisis Robin. He's not as good in play as he is on paper. If you're feeling risky, Red Arrow is also pretty good in that range of points, but serves a different purpose.

And now you have two teams. You can make your opponent decide which one he will be facing Robin or Nightwing.

I love it when a plan comes together.

do you have the rookie raven? you'll free up a lot of points that way (neither of the vets offer much in terms of what you're paying for compared to the rookies).

I asked a friend who is a Robin buff, and he says my team is comic accurate with Nightwing, I'm happy that I can an accurate team with what little Titans I have.

I've played Crisis Robin a few times, he's done pretty well each time, but Nightwing does always do better. One of my friends has forebayed me from playing him because of that unoutwittable 19 defense.

And now you have two teams. You can make your opponent decide which one he will be facing Robin or Nightwing.

I got a great laugh out of that one, thanks. The other team will be an all symbiote team, a non-theme, which is extremely uncommon for me. (Not using the figure symbiote though)

do you have the rookie raven? you'll free up a lot of points that way (neither of the vets offer much in terms of what you're paying for compared to the rookies).

Sadly, no. It's a huge jump down in points, and would open up so many possibilities. The only other Raven I have is the white experienced Raven from Icons, and I'm for some reason willing to forgo more feats for her to be able to push.

I've gotta disagree here. The Crisis Robin is great, usually my choice over the Nightwing. Granted I only play the CR Robin over the Arkham version when I play Brilliant Tact on him.

Drop Raven to a Rookie if you have her to free up some points.
