Today's
review is Winter Soldier from Avengers
We’re back!
I kinda
know who he is, but not good enough to not say Whoclix
He is a veteran
(super rare), 70 points, 10 range 1 target, 7 clicks of
life, and no team
Special Power: Ruthless Ally –
Give him a close or ranged combat action, before attacking,
give his damage +1 while dealing 1 unavoidable damage to a
adjacent friendly character
Speed:
Stealth, Running Shot, then Charge…I typically like move
and shoot first but this ain’t bad
Attack: Very nice values for the points, but the
super strength is really useless where it is placed
Defense: Average values that get a little low,
toughness can keep him alive a little longer
Damage: Wow, 5 damage from range, reminds me of
Ultimates/Transporter Hawkeye. It gets low but the power
helps with that…if you want to hurt any pieces of yours that
is
The Good: High attack
Lots of
movement powers
Huge
frontloaded damage
10 range
The Bad:
Super Strength is useless
Low defense values
Damage gets really low
Feats: Trick Shot is not worth it IMHO, just because
you can only get a click out of it. Protected and Nanobots
are all I would really use.
Overall: Here is an interesting piece. Back in the
day, I would slap trick shot on him, then have him get
carried around by lockjaw and hide in between buildings and
tear stuff up. Since we cannot do that anymore, we hafta
see if he is worth it. For 70 points, he makes a superb
secondary attacker. The upfront 10 attack for 5 damage is
really…really good. The stealth keeps him from getting hit
back until he gets based, and with a 10 range that will take
longer that you would think. He needs a TK’er, because you
want to chuck him out there, make the huge attack, and be in
hiding. I only wish he had the 11 attack upfront, but I
guess that would make him too good. The damage I like,
because after he gets protected pushed off his first click
he can still move and shoot for 3 damage with high attack
numbers. He is a pretty solid piece overall who makes a
great secondary attacker.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 3.75 / 5 (too much HSS to deal
with here)
Sealed/Draft: 4.5 / 5
Overall:
4.25 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re cool, addictive, and available….the
things practically sell themselves.”
