Need a general plan for Sentinal/Darkseid team!

[HCannonFodder]

Okay, next week I am playing a 300 pt team consisting of these members:

R Sentinal 100 pts.
U Darkseid 151 pts.
E Vulture 20 pts.
2 Shield medics?

He may not have both Shield members as medics, but how would YOU handle a team like this? The more I think about it, I think I might have to bring out the flying one w/ orange pom-poms to stand a chance. I have a general idea how to beat one or the other, but both of them together is making my head hurt...

Oh, and something else - by the WORST luck on the face of the planet, I have NO Uniques, LEs, or anything that would be considered "special."

My big hitters that I have are E Orange man (FL), R Kang, E Klaw, E Dr. Doom, E Annhilius, E Ultron, E Batman, E Boomerang, E Bullseye

Can you tell that I like using MoD members? :D

In the fodder/Support department, I have 1 V checkmate medic, 3 R Shield Snipers, a mix of other Hydra/AIM and Shield agents

ANY help and hints about Sentinals would be greatly appreciated!

Use the 100 point Sentinel to carry in Darkseid. Darkseid can attack, or MC the figure to walk up to the Sentinel for capture. Put Bullseye to pick off forces from far away, and maybe even Boomerang. I would avoid Vulture, have at least one medic. That's my idea.

[MisterId]

I Use A Sentinal Army.

It Consists Of 2 100 Point Sentinals. E Black Cat. 2 V Shield Snipers. E Mandroid Armor

With That You Can Use The Shield Ability From All Characters To Add To The Sentinal Or Anyone Else. Plus You Get The Reroll.

[shin-goji]

What do you use the Mandroid armor for?

[HCannonFodder]

You all misunderstand...

I'm playing AGAINST the Sentinal/Darkseid team!!

[PaladinKWA]

Playing against that team I would use Batman, a Doombot (if you have one), and Boomerang plus a lot of SHIELD troops.

Batman can use his Batman team ability to protect him from mind control. He can then outwit Darkseid's impervious and blast away for 3 clicks. Doombot can mimic Batman's team ability, taxi him and stay invisible. Batman has willpower and can 6-8 clicks in back to back attacks against Darkseid.

The Sentinel will take 12 clicks to kill, but once Darkseid is gone, the Sentinel will go quickly. Use SHIELD medics to heal Doombot if you push him and SHIELD Snipers to take out his medic and take pot shots at the Sentinel. Once Batman takes out Darkseid, he can join in the slaughter of the Sentinel.

Good luck!

I almost forgot, his Blackcat can not make your Batman reroll if he is in hindering terrain. Use Boomerang to take out Black Cat and help pound the Sentinel. Darkseid is your first concern though.

The Sentinel is relatively weak on it's own, and your opponent doesn't have any real support for it on his team. It's also much more dangerous while in the starting area because it can capture and dispose on consecutive turns from there.

Read your sentinel rules.
It can't be healed using support, so don't let your opponent do that. Sentinels also fall quickly against gang attacks.
Sentinels can also carry only one friendly figure at a time.

Darkseid can be tough because of his Imperviousness and outwit, but if you outwit his imperviousness, he's also quite easy to kill.

I guess your opponent's game is to use mind control to run figures over to the sentinel. For capture.

Clearly you're playing mixed, so you can field 10 movement taxis and all sorts of other fun pieces.

Try to field a stealthed outwitter -- Nightwing, Batman, U Catwoman, or Black Panther to deal with Darkseid's Imperviousness.

Then you'll want figures to do damage to Darkseid. For peak efficiency you could go with V Quicksilver and R Hawkman but there are many other good options.

Here's what I would field from your list:
85 E Batman -- Make sure he's hidden so that He can't be M/C'd or outwitted. His primary task should be to outwit Darkseid's Imperviousness

103 E Annihillus -- He should be able to hit Darkseid using Running shot

34 E Boomerang -- He should hitch a ride from Annihillus and either walk into the line of fire to protect the big bug, or try to knock darkseid off of the MC clicks.

If you have them, you should add:
29 R Scarlet Witch -- She's usefull, and if you can have her finish off the Sentinel, you get 100 bonus points. With her on your team, Annihillus is almost guaranteed to hit.

In general, you should stay back to encourage your opponent to move in, and then concentrate your firepower on Darkseid.

Ohh If Your Playing Against It. Energy Exp. With Shield Ability.

What do you use the Mandroid armor for?

I Use The Mandroid To Toss The Snipers On Roofs If Need Be.

[PaxZRake]

I would use my favorite team of :

V Nightwing
V Thor
V Doombot

Take out Darkseid first, use the Doombot to taxi Nightwing to hindering, outwit Impervious, hit him for three. Move Thor into position but make sure to stay out of range. Rest. Outwit whatever on Darkseid, hit for three, kill with Thor. Rest. Now kill the Sentinal.

[MisterId]

If That Is The Team He Is Playing You Will Probably Be Best Taking Out The Shield First. By Either Using Energy Exp. Or By Targeting Them Seperatly. Do This First Cause He Is More Then Likely Using The Shield To Add Damage To The Sentinal. Like I Stated Above Use Shield Also And Add To The Energy Explosion. Since It Seams Like It Is A Mixed Armies, I Would Use R Robin In The Team With Doom Team And Spider Team. Robin Can Lend Them The Team Ability And If Needed Create A Smokescreen So To Add To The Stealth, But Dont Use Him To Attack Keep Him In The Back. Have Maybe V Doombot Carring E Black Cat. To Deal With Darkseid. Maybe Put V Pyro and Avalanche So That They Can Add The Free Movement To Others, Plus Energy Exp, Pulswave. You Also Get Barrier. Just Keep Using Barrier On Darkseid Each Turn Swithing Back And Forth Between The Two. Finnaly Vulture But He Can Be Taken Out Just As Easly As The Shield. Just Remember Also That A Sentinal Can Not Shot Throw A Barrier. He Can Only Fly Over It.
