Sorry if this has been addressed, but I did some searching through the forums and couldn't find it. I want to play one of the SHIELD Field Agents with the dual starting lines. I realize you can't do that for figures that are using alter ego, but this is different.

Can I change which starting line I use on each round, or do I have to pick one for the tournament and stick with it? Are they considered two different figures, or one with two different options?

During a tournament you have to choose the figure, if you choose A then you have to use A throughout the whole tournament. A and B are two different figures similar to the skrulls.

Cool. I was just hoping the selling point was flexibility. But I guess in tournaments I am going to have to watch it, because it probably wouldn't be hard to switch dials during the tournament.

Thanks for the info!

Actually, it would be just as hard as usual, as your opponent should be verifying your team against build sheet, so you would have writtne down "Super Dude #001a" on the sheet. If you have Super Dude #001b on your team, they should just remind you that you used A last round.

That is, assuming your venue uses team sheets. Not all do, so just be careful.

We use sheets but don't include a list of figures. Everyone knows everyone and everyone pretty much trusts everyone. I do have some new players starting, so not to say they are not trust worthy, but things can get missed or forgotten. It might be a good time to revamp the sheet.

One of our venues has a sheet, most do not. The one that does uses it because we've always used it. I think there used to be an issue with a guy that would try to switch Feats, but that was before I played there regularly.

It does help with making sure your opponent knows what Feat is on who. (Though 9 times out of 10 we don't use Feats, and my teams are always printed out anyway, so that I don't forget who has what.)

I know that this is obvious, but I'm gonna say it anyway for those interested.
The thing with Figure#001a and Figure#001b would also apply for the new rookie dial systems.

Example: if you play SM#010r Supergirl (100 points) and SM#054 Black Adam (300 points) one round, you COULDN'T play SM#010 Supergirl (200 points) and SM#054e Black Adam (200 points) the next round of the same tournament.

does this apply to shazam adam? I thought you could alternate between the 2?

You can Alternate between Shazam/Black Adam because his Trait specifically allows you to. None of the other figures have this.

found the thread explaining that the cap shield guys have different #s simular to the secret invasion charcter.

here's a link

Wouldnt that mess with the point cost of the team anyway?

Who are you talking about? The Cap GF figures have the same cost regardless of which starting line you use. Black Adam/Shazam can be placed at either of its starting lines as well without changing the cost, as long as you only play half the dial. Going from "Black Adam" to using the entire duo figure would change the cost, but that's not what's being asked about.

My guess is that he was thinking of the Superman set figures with multiple starting lines at different point costs.
