bizarro-world

THE SCENARIO: Bizarro style (start on final click, damage/heal in reverse, KOd after start line)

MY SQUAD:

Moon Knight [Avengers Defenders War 062] 110
Atom Smasher [Giants] 97
Miss America [WizKids] 95
Moon Knight [Superior Foes of Spider-Man] 90
The Spectre [Joker’s Wild] 40
Sand [Harley Quinn] 35
Mercury [World’s Finest] 25

= 492 points.

HOW IT WENT:

It was a team battle royal format. I got stuck with the two relative newbies. I scored the most individual points but the other team wiped my teammates and won on team points.

 

BY PIECE:

Atom Smasher [Giants]

gi001

A classic favorite of mine in this format, big Al here gains a LOT of playability with the 2017 TK rules allowing for giants to be placed with the power. Willpowered, Giant Reaching 11AV Battle Flurry!

 

Mercury [World’s Finest]

Did someone say TK? His last click’s the same as his first, so he fit well.

 

Miss America [WizKids]

Normally I wouldn’t bother running a piece with 9AV, 16DV and just 2 printed damage, even with Hypersonic. But her Space Portal trait tho: Being able to gangpile a foe with the whole team from even further away than usual was worth doing. And she’s pretty much my favorite figure anyway. I got the maneuver off once at least.

 

Moon Knight [Avengers Defenders War 062]

Yes, his STOP click is wasted in this format. But he’s 18 DV Invulnerable and the 4 damage Flurry was attractive. And if not for my opponent’s Shape Change, maybe he gets a punch or two in instead of getting one-turned. Oh well.

 

Moon Knight [Superior Foes of Spider-Man]

This figure was just cheating in this format, being able to not only Running Shoot well (11AV 4 damage!) but also free heal thanks to hits. And even if the worst happens and he’s KO’d … well, he isn’t.

“When Moon Knight would be KO’d, you may remove 2 Tribute tokens to instead turn him to click #6.”

That’s his FIRST CLICK in this format. That’s just wrong. And it’s why Heroclixin’ has changed its Bizarro scenario rules: “No effect that names a specific click number can be used.”

 

Sand [Harley Quinn]

Got Prob? Yes. He’s also a source of shareable-via-JSA-TA 18 DV (among four on the team).

 

The Spectre [Joker’s Wild]

But who needs 18 DV when this dude has 19 to share with Atom Smasher, Sand and both wildcard Moon Knights? He also served as a taxi and occasional reliable shooter with 8 range, 11AV and 3 damage. Makes the team work!
