Faust [Superman/Wonder Woman 056]

The figure designed by the 2014 Worlds Team champs, Faust scores high on the F.U.N.-ometer.

  • Lacking a lick of armor or even the Mystics team ability or Stealth, Faust is so, soooo soft with only Energy Shield/Deflection to protect him at first. Players might be a little nervous about his attack and damage skills, but his low defense numbers nullify the fear factor. FELLOWSHIP level: Solid
  • But those 3 dice tho: Getting to roll three dice and picking the best two for attacks via his Pocket Dimension special power is top tier! Even better is his Shadow Walk SP that allows him to Sidestep and warp from hindering to hindering before doing so. (That’s also a nice game balancing design that subtly encourages you to play him a certain way.) Mid-dial, he gains the ability to get no-attack-roll damage AND healing but forces him to be close — gotta hope Super Senses holds up. If not, maybe he can Regen from his last two clicks with the help of Prob Control…or you just use his regained Shadow Walk to Sidestep to relative safety. UTILITY level: Moderate.
  • A rare Outsiders member — but one thankfully not saddled with the pricey team ability — he also fits on Shadowpact and Checkmate, of all things. Other than that, Heroclixin’ sees Faust a lot like Zatanna: NIFTYNESS level is Low due to most of the appeal coming from the dial.

Still, if it’s F.U.N. you’re wanting, this is a Faust to deal with!
