Dear All,

I just want to double check something.

My team is:
CW Captain America #1
CW Tony Stark #11
FFCW Thor #2

FFCS Scarlett Witch (50point version) #6r
CW Vision #13
=400 point team

Can I start the game by merging the first three into 400 point Avengers Prime and the latter three into Scarlett Wich and Vision on turn one. -> 400+180 points?

MERGE
When this character is adjacent to other friendly characters that each represent
one distinct qualifying character listed on a Duo character’s character card and all
of them have no action tokens, give this character a free action to replace all of
them with that Duo character, the same number of clicks from its starting line as
this character. The combined point value of the qualifying characters must be equal to or greater than the point value of the Duo character (unless that Duo character previously used the Split ability to be replaced by these same characters). The Duo character can’t use the Split ability this turn. This ability can’t be countered.

The bolded part shows you that no, you cannot do that, unless you started with the duos (trios?) and split into the others.

Thank you!
