Cheap? She's #### near easy!

[shin-goji]

So we have cheap [pun intended] Perplex with the street walking Con Artists, and cheap Enhancement with Psylocke. Am I missing anything else? I'm wishing I could get some cheap Enhancment for my Sentinels, but Psylocke is sporting that delicable X-Men team affiliation on her base which means they won't be teaming up. The Con Artists, on the other hand, will be pimping for Sentinel domination.

EDIT: Whoops! Sorry, I meant to type in darn instead of ###. My bad!

While con artists are nice... we are going to see them fielded 4 or 5 at a time.

They will be prime targets for a Pulse Wave (finally, a use for it!) or multiple long range shots... since their ability is only one click.

From my experience... we played on Heroix... he had V Thor, R Black Panther, R Doombot... and 3 con artists.

Taxi Thor... Perplex up to 7 damage, Running shot...

made me sad.

[shin-goji]

I would hesitate to field more than three at a time, honestly. That eats up points that could be used for good back up characters. I'm thinking Mark III Sentinel, R Invisible Girl, some Con Artists and Pyro and a SHIELD Agent if I can fit them in.

Here's my 300 Point team: Anti-Mutant Hysteria (http://www.hcrealms.com/cgi-bin/quickviewteam.cgi?teamname=AntiMutant&username=shin-goji&action=text)

I think I like the idea of perplexing up a sentinel. make the damage insane.. or perplex the damage.. oooo

[shin-goji]

I would perplex his chances to hit, then have him Runnng Shot and EE with a SHIELD Agent. That's two clicks this round, then a double shot of 5 and 5 on the next round :)

[Angelofhate]

Perplex up his movement, carry two con artists.. drop them when you land next to the hard hitter... then perplex up the AV and capture that figure for massive points :)

Why is it each time i try looking at someones team via link, it says sever error, is there i program i need to view these documents?

[shin-goji]

Hmm, HCR has been a mite screwy lately.

[ludd_gang]

A lot of people aim for the "one big shot"- but if the "one big shooter" falls you left with a gang scrubs. Also, you've got to make sure the shooter hits, so you need a high AV.

Thor's a good candidate, but you do run into the pushing issue. Ultron's another good option with a Vulture taxi. Sentinel has a low enough AV that I'd worry about its consitancy.

In the end though- it will work well against other "one big shot" strategies, but fall short against a balanced team, IMO.

Quick question.

I am a big Sentinel fan, and have read the rules over, but I can't see the section where it says how many friendly figures you can carry at a time.

I know you can CAPTURE up to two enemy, but only on different turns. Anyone have any advice on this?

[shin-goji]

You can only carry one friendly figure ;)

[Mongoose]

I believe that all the perplexers and enhancers were created to give people with natural damage a bonus over Firelord. Ex. Magneto does 4 damage naturally, whereas Firelord does 3 (He can't have his damage augmented if he uses RCE). Of course now all the sluggers will be killing people outright. "Look there is Savage Hulk w/ a Dumpster, being aided by 3 perplexers. Whack!!!! Aghhhhhh!!!" (10 points of damage later, we see anyone in the midst in the KO range.

[shin-goji]

E Ultron and Perplex w/ Enhancement. KAPOWIE!!!

[ScrewTape]

From my experience... we played on Heroix... he had V Thor, R Black Panther, R Doombot... and 3 con artists.

Taxi Thor... Perplex up to 7 damage, Running shot...

Whoever came up with that strat is a genius. :)

Oh yea.. You need V doombot so you can hit leadership on turn 2. If you do that you can push all the con artists then attack for 7.

[Angelofhate]

Yeah, I meant to say V doombot. He'd outwit my invuln... or super senses... and then "make me his #####" with thor. It's rather hard to get around and im trying to think up a counter strategy.

Until that day, I will forever be at the mercy of this norse god reborn.

[napa]

All this cheap perplex and enhancement is going to make me rebuild my VetBoomerang/IG formation. triple target ee destruction,yeah!

No need. Perplex has a 10" range. Con Artists don't need to worry about LoF to the Sentinel through figure bases. They can stay in the background and he has a 10" range as well.

[Angelofhate]

You evil ninja monkey, you.

You think good. Me take idea.

Or something like that, heh.

[shin-goji]

I need me some ninjas. Can't wait for XP!!!!

[napa]

I need some as well. i'm going to buy abou 26 boosters tomorrow to get my fix. i wonder if they make a patch or some of that gum for this addiction.;)
