Subject: 300 Point Ranged Destruction - DrStrange86

 

Hey folks, this is the first team that I won a tournament with.  It basically abuses cheap pieces with great range and movement.  It was back in time before Protected was even made.  I also did not have the Thunderbolts card at this point.  It works surprisingly well in the Armor Wars lab map.

 

V Hawkeye (FF) w/ ICWO + TS = 114

V Blackfire w/ ICWO = 86

V Lockjaw w/ ICWO + Double Time = 53

R Scarlet Witch (FF) = 35

E Paramedic = 10

Lian Harper x2 = 2

 

In the lab map, position the two attackers as needed, leaving lockjaw to be harassment, taxi, and attacker.  Use the Transporter with Hawkeye and ICWO the attack to run and shoot with a respectable 10 attack and run away behind hindering.  Lockjaw can carry blackfre and hide her from abuse for a while.  The next turn, push Lockjaw to run to a medic, and let Blackfire attack with her long range and double targets.  The beauty behind this team is the fact that Blackfire has 2 and Hawkeye has 3 targets, almost guaranteeing a hit on some character if the main attack misses.  Scarlet Witch can help with that as well. Lockjaw can then be healed and run around and attack using the transporter to harrass support pieces.  I went 3-0 with this team and won 2 of those games outright. 

 

In larger maps, you can pretty much play it the same way, though you may need a turn to get everyone in position to attack effectively.

 

In the game today, you can take out the trick shot and paramedic (since she is retired) and save yourself 30 points.  With this, you can give Thunderbolts to Hawkeye to give him Ultimates, then use the remaining 25 points on whatever you want.  You could use it on a rookie Doc Mid Nite(pretty much the cheapest medic now) and a 1 point pog.  Personally, I would put Nanobots on Hawkeye and Lockjaw, since both of them are off 3 damage after 1 click.  Then, use Lockjaw to carry your three remaining points of 1 point pogs to tie up pieces, allowing blackfire to take pop shots.  The Debris battlefield works great for this, because the more items out there, the more healing and more pushing you can do. 

 

Well folks that's it for today, if you have any questions, drop me a line [batmandx@aol.com].
