kang is over-rated

[weaponX-111]

Kang, to me, is a very very good character... however is vet. version, after taking damage, is a waste of points. He has a good defense and he is loaded with powers but he only does 2 clicks in close combat...after damage he is of no use, unless you have him close to a medic...

however, since this weakness is known, why not build a team around the rookie kang that lessen the likelihood of Kang getting based?

Using pieces with the barrier ability can make this happen.

The effect Kang can have on the game is very powerful, but like any other hi-value piece, he MUST be protected in order to combat his weaknesses.

yea you have a good point... i still think kang needs a higher damage though

The only thing that is even remotely useful about Kang is that no matter how much damage he takes, his attack rating stays sky high, and he does at least 3 damage from range, thanks to RCE all the way down his dial. You're right, Kang stinks, but you've got all the wrong ideas about why.

R Kang is not a waste of points. I have successfully fielded a 300 pt team of Kang, Blastaar, Yellowjacket, Vulture and Hydra Medic (I dont like mixing heroes and villains). This team has beaten Dr. Doom and the Doombots and a Quasar/Ultron combination. Know your range and know when to get out of town back to the medic. This is one of my favorite teams right now. Ignore or attack Kang and Blastaar gets you, ignore or attack Blastaar and he not only gets more powerful, but Kang is going to hit you next turn.
