Today's review is Binary
from Supernova
Who?
Unique, 128 points, 8 range 1
target, 8 clicks of life, a flier, and an X-Men
Speed: HSS is the best, Running shot to follow, then
some charge…nice
Attack: Can never start with the 10’s anymore, but
all those 9’s aren’t bad. Incap and EE sucks with one
target, and Steal Energe can work because of the high damage
Defense: 18 from range, 19 on hindering is always
cool, not too bad all around, and easy to heal
Damage: Lots of 3’s with sporadic RCE and CCE, not
bad
The Good: Great movement
8 Range and HSS is
always cool
Lots of powers to chose
from
For once, a good change
of getting use out of Steal Energy
X-men team always helps
The Bad: RCE, Incap, Pulse wave don’t work with HSS
Wish the attack was
higher
If he gets hit, he gets
hit hard
Feats: ICWO for attack, Protected to keep him
around, Nove Blast as a deterrent from being swarmed are
probably the best
Overall: I like this click, reminds me a lot of LE
Nova. The problem is, LE Nova is cheap and does higher
damage. That brings up the question, why play Binary when
Super-Nova is so much better. At first, I never realized
about how good having pulse wave as a deterrent can be, but
it does work, and very well. On her own, she is not a bad
piece, but 128 points for a 9 attack and 3 damage is not
quite worth it in my book. She is cool, but not great.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 2.5 / 5
Sealed/Draft: 2.5 / 5
Overall: 2.5 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re cool,
addictive, and available….the things practically sell
themselves.”
