Today I’m
straying away from my reviews and making my own top eleven
list. Why eleven and not 10? Because I’m indecisive so
leave me alone!
This top
Eleven list is about the best heroclix ever made. This does
not mean the most expensive or the most deadly. A good
example is Con Artist is a lot better then Gladiator even
though Con Artist is would be destroyed by him. I’m
included the released Fantastic Forces Characters as well.
Amazo U Trick
shot with Amazo is the ultimate in cheese team. Hyper
Sonic Speed, Impervious with a 17, Ranged Combat Expert
and Super strength all for 195. Usually expensive
characters like this are not worth it, but he is so hard
to hit. Even if you can fine a way to deal him damage he
will gain plascitity or phasing and run away to be
healed. This all leads up to you winning and you
opponent crying.
Johnny Alpha V
The best of the support telekinesis
characters. He has an insane attack of 11 and his team
ability can boost it by one. He of course has
telekinesis most of his dial, but he also has stealth.
He has an 8 range and hits for three. Even if you can
see him you still have to deal with a 16 defense that
has super senses through most of the dial.
Jinx The best
well rounded figure in the game and the ultimate
secondary attacker/support piece. She has probability
control, psychic blast and phasing to start. She has 6
very strong clicks and her defense stays high the entire
time. Her range of 8 and pulse wave near the middle of
her dial come in handy very frequently. The icing on
the cake for this character is wildcard team ability
which has limitless possibilities.
KC Green Lantern:
In general I’m not a big fan of the big
expensive characters, but KC Green Lantern is the
exception. Weighing in at an under-costed 225 the
lantern has a 20 defense. Something that only unusable
characters used to have. He will hit you for 6 clicks
and he will do it turn after turn with willpower. Big
characters major flaws is having to push to kill a
character. Green and mighty never has to push and
doesn’t lose a step all the way down the dial.
Havok V He is
the Ultimate cheap attacker. The veteran is only 44
points and hits for 4 clicks. With energy shield
deflection he is an 18 to shoot at. He has a respectable
8 range and energy explosion that makes you change how
you set up your figures. His leadership on his starting
click can be very useful for a small team. Near the end
of his dial he gains pulse wave which basically is just
like giving everyone the middle finger before he dies.
Sue Storm LE.
She is the Ultimate in Defense Pieces. 19 defense and
the Fantastic Four Team Ability is gold. With the new
card that is available to change team abilities it means
that all your wild cards and Fantastic Four Team Members
will have 19 defense no matter where they are on the
board.
Black Adam V or E
Everyone knows that super strength and
Hyper Sonic Speed is the Ultimate Combo and Black Adam
is the cheapest figure with it. He swings in and hits
for 6 clicks then runs away like a little girl so you
can’t hit him. Black Adam leaves you with few options.
You just have to chase him.
Jane Foster LE:
But she is just a paramedic all she can do is heal! Yes
and healing is the tide turner in any game. How often
do you push a character so you can hit your opponents
that extra few clicks. If you’re at the brink of losing
and suddenly you have a brand new healed Firelord, you
can win. It’s that simple. A successful heal is the
best. Often though you have to make that tough choice
with your healer, do I push her? Do I go for broke
knowing that it will be harder to heal the following
turns? Jane Foster has willpower and willpower on a
medic is simple perfect.
Ultimate Thor:
186 points of pure brick. He hits for five pretty much
all the way to the last click. He has a low defense
yes, but he has damage reducing abilities and ten clicks
that make him live way longer then you’d want him too.
His 10 range and two targets with running shot on a ten
speed gives him the first attack most of the time and
when he attacks you’re character usually becomes
worthless. Oh and did I mention his lowest attack is an
8 and for only 1 click, usually he is hovering around
12.
(tied for first)Con Artist R
The hooker is always useful. Perplex is
arguably the best ability in the game. For 11 points
and two power actions you get perplex. She has to be
the most overally used figure in the game and with good
cause.
(tied for first) Firelord
Is there anybody better? No, he is the
best ever made. Every version of him is under-costed by
at least 60 points. All of them are under 100 points
and hit for 5 clicks. His veteran has a speed of 12,
attack of 13, defense of 18. He has barrier for most of
his dial and energy explosion for the fun of it. He has
a long dial of ten clicks and nearly everyone of them is
great. At the end his defense is so low that anybody
can heal him. Firelord is the king of them all and the
only Heroclick to ever warrant banning from tournaments.
