This Heroclix team works well in either a 300 or 500 point
setup, and it hinges on one fig in particular. The 195 pt LE
Amazo. What you do is set yourself up with a TKer, I
personally prefer Rookie Infinity Challenge Magneto, The LE
Amazo, and on the three hundred point version, try to
squeeze in a cheap probablity controller or a perplexer or
two. Con artists and Rookie Scarlet Witches work great for
this, and allow you a little more "oomph", or a chance to
let the dice work for you instead of against you. Use your
TKer to toss Amazo ten spaces out, and then use his
hypersonic speed and insane attack value along with his
damage of three and ranged combat mastery, and you can
usually knock out two lesser figs in the first turn,
especially if the other guy doesn't know exactly what's
about to whack him. If you really need to whip out some
nasty damage, perplex his damage value up by one, and you've
got a twenty range on your first hit, doing six damage to
two enemy characters, and you can use his ten range and
hypersonic speed to safely park him right back where you
started him. Clear'em next turn, and repeat the process.
For the 500 pt team, I like to throw in another beatstick,
usually Soldier X, Cyclops, or another run'n'gun type fig.
This allows for huge ranges, and to take some of the
pressure off Amazo, as well as supplying him with a strong
defender to move opposite him turn-wise and keep him from
getting screwed by an outwitter team. Also, in addition to
rookie Con artist and Rookie Scarlet Witch, I'll try to
throw in a cheap Outwitter. A medic is also a good support
choice for this setup, because while Amazo's first three
clicks are stupidly nasty, he's easy pickings after that,
especially for a regenerating blades/claws/fangs fig. As a
side note, at any point in his dial, veteran Soldier X is
always useful to this team in some respect, starting with
Running shot, Outwit, and toughness, and later on picking up
Telekinesis, and Ranged Combat Mastery while maintaining his
Running shot and Toughness.
