TOP 10 ATTACKERS UNDER 50
POINTS
By: DrStrange86 - Jim
Hey everyone, I am a big fan of making teams out of a lot of
little guys who can do a lot. Used right, these little guys
can dominate any big guns out there. Another great thing
about these guys is that none of them are really hard to
get, making team building a breeze.
I should also mention that I am not including any members of
the pit crew in here (R Jean, R Black Panther, Destiny, Con
Artist, Paramedic) because everyone knows how broken those
one trick ponies are. This list is about attackers.
10. Cyclops V (DR) – What more can you say about a click
that can do 3 damage from a 10 range for 40 points? Slap on
nice attack values that start with a 10, some sporadic RCE,
and some Psychic Blast at the end, and you have a piece that
can stay very dangerous throughout the game.
9. Clarice Ferguson LE – Why is this little TK’er on the
list? Well it’s simple; she is a TK’er who can also be a
major hassle to your opponent. Besides that ever-useful
ability, she also sports a full dial of phasing to help her
move wherever she wants. She also sports a 6 range with 2
targets, giving her a nice chance to hit with her 9 attack
for 2 damage. Her click of Super Senses gives her a chance
to stay around a little longer, and her Energy Explosion
works great with her 2 targets. Her attack drops quickly,
and she only has the one click of Super Senses, but she is
quite a bargain for 44 points.
8. Storm V (DR) – Why are the best pieces out of Danger Room
the cheapest? For 40 points you get a lot: Stealth, RCE,
very nice and consistent attack values, and a good taxi for
all teams, especially X-Men. She also sports an 8 range
along with a pretty nice defense for the entire dial. Just
like the comics, she is a true team player who brings a lot
of attack power.
7. Spymaster V – One of the best new attackers to come out
in a while, all of these pieces are great, but the vet
stands out above the rest. He has an 8 range with a very
consistent attack and is dangerous for the entire dial. He
is an amazing bargain for 29 points.
6. Scourge V – Most of the time, when you spend 21 points on
a piece, you don’t get much. This is not the case here. An
11 attack for 2 damage with stealth and shape change all on
the same click. His range of 6 is a little limiting, but
your opponent is going to have a tough time getting to him.
His defense is low (14 tops), and his life is short at only
4 clicks, but you get more than your moneys worth with him.
5. Havok V – The first of the overly ridiculous attackers.
44 points gives you a 10 attack and 4 damage. But wait,
there’s more. You also get a healthy range of 8 with an 18
defense from range thanks to ESD. Once he takes some damage,
he can either harass with pulse wave, or help his friends
with the X-men team ability.
4. Mockingbird V – Wow, what a package for 34 points. A 19
defense (CR) and the ability to do 4 damage (CCE) for these
points is amazing, simply amazing. Her attack values are
also good and the fact that she is an avenger makes it even
better. Slap on Alpha Flight for a better attack, or
Thunderbolts to help her and any wildcards on the team. She
is by far the best piece to come out of Sinister.
3. Blackfire R – This little girl has it all; running shot,
an 8 range, a 9 attack, and 4 damage. The low defense is a
problem, but the way to play her is to slap the Vendetta
card on her, keep her in the back, then TK her out to finish
off that Ares for some major points. Lucky Break also helps
make sure she hits that crucial attack. For a base 48
points, she is an amazing piece, even though her Exp is the
best of the three.
2. Bullseye (IC) V – All of them are good, but the Vet is
the main attraction. An 11 attack, 18 defense (from range),
3 damage (RCE), and the ability to share it with a wildcard
all for 43 points. Add in a 10 range with 2 targets and you
are bound to hit something from very far away. Trickshot and
Lockjaw are his best friends: carry, hide, and shoot.
1. Lockjaw V – Ah, the infamous one. What more can you say
about Lockjaw that hasn’t been said before? He has
ridiculous movement, a long dial, a transporter with
phasing, and even toughness to make his long dial even
longer. Let’s not forget the LAMP teams and trickshot abuse
as well. All this and the vet tops out at only a measly 38
points?
