Hi people, how is it going? Welcome to the 3rd COTD
this week… what? no,
this is not the last, I told you we were gonna make
it up to you, didn’t I?
Anyway, back to what brought us here: Red Tornado.
Like the others, we’re
reviewing his R/E/V, and like the others, I plan on
focusing on the Vet. He
costs 67 points, 6 range 1 target, no TA, 7 clicks
of health:
Stats:
Speed: 11, 10, 9, 9, 9, 8, 8. Force Blast everywhere
but his 2nd and 3rd
clicks.
Attack: 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 8, 7. Tk for his first 3
clicks, then 2 of Quake,
then 2 of Smoke Cloud.
Defense: 18, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 14. Starts with
Willpower, then follows 3
clicks of Energy Shield/Deflection, then is
Willpower again for 2 clicks.
Damage: 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2. CCE on his last 2
clicks.
Analysis: Well, first that anything, I think that
,like Ragman, he’s well
represented; and also like Rags, his sculpt is very
cool. That being said,
let’s see how useful this guy can be: I love his
defense, he stays very hard
to hit until his 5th click (if you can keep his
Energy S/D from being
Outwitted) I Especially love him starting with a 18
def and Willpower. His
damage is ok for his cost I guess. Can actually be
nice, but that’s actually
near the end, and I dunno if you’ll wanna risk him
into close combat in
those circumstances. His attack is ok too, nothing
especial… but his Tk is,
it’s what makes him useful and the reason you’d use
him: a Tker that can
give a good fight. His Quake isn’t anything
especial, and his Smoke Cloud…
well.. Anyway, his Speed: well, clearly, nothing to
say… decent numbers…
Force Blast on him, with the changes, is not gonna
be too bad, but neither
is it gonna be much better :S…
Conclusion: Not too sure about 300 points games, I
think even there he MIGHT
be nice… any higher, he can be great… the only other
Tker competing for his
position would be V Jhonny Alpha. Who is best? I’m
not sure… Depends on your
I wanna dedicate this whole week of COTD to the guys
in the Heroclix Forum:
GhostRider2099, Hollow Gollem, Gambit121, Smaug317,
RurouniKJS, etc., etc.!
