Once Xplosion comes out this will be a very viable strategy. The following figures all have at least 6 Range and Stealth. I want you guys opinons on each of them.
ic ic068 Avengers 4 Captain America Experienced 47
He is pretty godd all around but his attack and damage drop too fast for my taste.
ct ct045 Fantastic Four 4 Invisible Woman Veteran 80
Useful on the first click but that is pretty much it. All they have to do is perplex a decent attack or BCFer and shes dead.
ct ct086 S.H.I.E.L.D. 6 Nick Fury Unique 62
Loses stealth fast an isn't cost efficient for his points.
xplosion xp007 Hydra Hand Ninja Weak 14
Decent for their points, but the veteran are far superior for cost.
xplosion xp008 Hydra Hand Ninja Experienced 15
The veteran is so much better for one point it isn't even funny.
xplosion xp009 Hydra Hand Ninja Veteran 16
8 Range 8 Attack 2 Damage. These guys are great for clean-up.
xplosion xp028 Brotherhood Mystique Weak 34
At cost she isn't bad, plus all versions have Brotherhood, which means you can get into position easier first turn. Being able to get to cover could definityly make or break a game.
xplosion xp029 Brotherhood Mystique Experienced 43
Brotherhood still, but this version has the extra click of Perplex, not that great. I'd prefer the Rookie.
xplosion xp030 Brotherhood Mystique Veteran 51
9 Attack for 2 Clicks, 2 Damage for 3 Clicks, and Perplex for 4. Loses Stealth fast like all the others though.
xplosion xp040 NONE Madame Masque Weak 32
I don't really like this figure because it is neutered in Close Combat except for Poison. Hit it for a few clicks and stealth is gone and the figure is open to outwitting. Her defense sucks hard too. Lower then the hand Ninjas.
xplosion xp041 NONE Madame Masque Experienced 38
See above.
xplosion xp042 NONE Madame Masque Veteran 50
I'm spending a sixth of my points on what now??
xplosion xp059 X-Men Psylocke Experienced 42
9 Attack for 3 Clicks. BCF if Based and enhancement makes her a great value.
xplosion xp060 X-Men Psylocke Veteran 45
Unless you really need the extra 3 points this figure is a great choice over the Exp. Higher DV and AV and more BCF.
xplosion xp064 Minions of Doom Taskmaster Weak 39
All Taskys are awesome plus they can borrow those teams abilities. Mystique's free move, Ninja's Hydra, and Psylocke's X-Men. This one has an 11 Attack and BCF with ESD if you get knocked off hindering terrain, plus a range of 6. Screw you U Elektra.
xplosion xp065 Minions of Doom Taskmaster Experienced 58
With this version gaining Enhancement and Master mind putting him next to Psylocke is awesome, you have control over who gets hurt between X-Men ability and MM. A nice 11 Attack again.
xplosion xp066 Minions of Doom Taskmaster Veteran 75
Take a 12 Attack BCF, sprinkle it with dual target Incap and Willpower 2 Clicks and you have one of the best pieces in the game. Once again with X-Men ability and Psylocke you can get Enhanced, Perplex your Damage up and keep him on Prime clicks. When he finally does get down there Outwit and Flurry mean he is going out with a bang.
xplosion xp072 X-Men Gambit Veteran 51
Good, but not great. More Perplex would be overkill at this point really. It is hard to put him on his good clicks and he doesn't stay for long. If you base him with a non-flyer he is screwed. Not an ideal figure in the least, Vet Mystique is a better bet for a stealthed Perplexer.
xplosion xp086 NONE Elektra Unique 160
Good figure, but too costly for a team like this.
I'm thinking a V Paramedic, E Black Panther and R Vulture would be a welcome 63 to allow mobile healing and breaking defense powers easier. Your thoughts now.
