I scored him a 4, 4.5 and 3.5, respectively. The Vet
still feels a tad inefficient for my tastes, so his
score stands...I'll never use him if I can use the
Rookie or Exp. I probably would have listed Ted here
much lower in the top 10 because of the Vet and the
fact that the Rookie is only as good as the team you
build him for. Alone, he's good but not great; with
a high DV to share, he's more than great. Same goes
for the more balanced but still defensively weak
Experienced.
Each reviewer picked his opinionated Top Ten HeroClix of
2007.
- 1st Place on the list would receive ten points. 2nd would
receive nine, and so forth until reaching 10th place with
one point.
- Once all the lists were compiled, each figure's total
points from all the reviewers was calculated.
SPEED --
Steady amounts and very mobile. The
last-chance Charge is incredibly effective. Your opponent
will be thinking Wildcat is theirs when BAM! he is back in
the fray.
ATTACK
-- Do we ever see an 11 on a click below 140 points
nowadays? Make that below 70 points in this case. Values
plunge to only resurface around the Charge clicks. It stays
above 8 all dial.
DEFENSE
-- Nothing mighty but decent enough to pass by. Regeneration
is spread perfectly, so a player can attempt it five clicks
in and can return to full-power. Then on his deathrow click,
Wildcat can shoot back up to his first Regneration.
Willpower on the lower edge of the dial ensures a possible
comeback.
DAMAGE
-- 3 works for me. I like that by the time Wildcat gains CCE
he will probably be adjacent to someone. Basically damage
above par every click.
FEATS?
Try to keep that low point cost. Auto Regenation or Haymaker
if there are any leftover points.
Once during a game while using Wildcat, I was reaching last
limbs. My friend's Blastaar had destroyed just about my
entire 300 point team. I knew if I KOed Blastaar I could
easily wipe out the rest of his team. But there was a
problem: Blastaar was on his best click (that included 19
defense). I was on the last move of my turn. Wildcat was on
his sixth click with a 10 attack. I hadn't used Haymaker yet
and I knew that a successful hit would be enough to kill
Blastaar. With a lucky dice roll and the right amount of
attack value, I nailed Blastaar and won the game.
-- That is how versatile Wildcat is. And why he is #2 of
Pojo's Top Ten HeroClix of 2007.
