Just wanted to point this out as well:

300 Point base has 10 clicks of life
Cyborg, starting on click 5, has 3 clicks of life
Starfire, starting on click 5, has 3 clicks of life
Changeling, starting on click 5, has 2 clicks of life

If you can manage to get all 3 of them off the base quickly, your 10 clicks of life just jumped to 18. Still less than 20, but much closer than 10.

Five years later, I am still not sold on the idea of putting a team on a single dial as opposed to making decently-costed versions of characters with natural synergy.

Vehicles seem to.have better synergy with a pilot than these team bases. I agree with Ridge, we should get better seperate team members than the group stuck on a large base running around the board. Its just odd and who the hell thought that would be more fun than seperate team members? This combine mechanic has gone too far.

Still very risky as you have three characters not at their prime points on their dials. Their dials are good clear through, but 3 clicks is easy enough to be handed out more than once in a turn. Not that I'm blind to the strategic value of the matter. You can use those three to tie up targets and perhaps even do some extra damage.

I could care less about team bases. I just want the individual pieces. Specifically, Tattoo Man and the new Cheshire.
