And for you - if I had perplex, I would laugh at you. Eg - 19 defense + ES/D + 3 perplex = 24 defense.
you can call my black flash, galactus

Just like in Magic, there is very, very rarely a case of strictly better in Heroclix. It happens only on rare occasions, but a tiny fraction of the time there will be situations where even the "worse" thing will be preferable. And I'm talking in terms of all of Heroclix, not just the powers. As far as powers go there are clear cases where each has it's use.

I can't speak for others but I've played plenty of teams w/o Outwit or Perplex. On some theme teams it's not even an option.

Hmmm. There are a good deal of things I could say to try and prove to you that you are mistaken, but given the tone, I'm guessing you either wouldn't listen or would simply try to find fault with my logic and position. So instead, I'll just offer you this adivice:

Play a few games. Like maybe 10 or so with some friends. Go to a tournament or two and play some rounds with some different folks who have different battle plans, strengths and weaknesses. By then the veracity of you statement will be revealed to you without the need for a lengthy debate with a lot of unecessary toing and froing. Feel free to report back to the group to let us know what you discovered.

yeah I agree with you there. The power creep tends to make the newer figures better than old ones, which is expected in all games. And with abilities, you're right, of course there are better situations for some rather than others.

I'd prefer to call him cheater... since your Black Flash could never have more than a 22 defense without some sort of replacement value like Defend. Maybe you should bone up on the rules before talking about how unbalanced they are?

It does not work like that. If you're going to declare your strategy superior, know how it works. Rule of three caps your defense at 22: still high, but still hittable by very accurate pieces like the aforementioned Green Arrow/Batman.

Edit: Oops. Beaten to it. Disregard.

Oh so you don't understand the rules either? Ah...poor kid. Rule of three my friend. Rule of 3.

It's ok... your response was more civil so you get points for that.

I agree. He almost made me feel bad about my response. Almost.

Just wait for the delicious, delicious Poison. Pure damage with no attack roll! Yummy!!

And the REAL Galactus would crush Black Flash in no time flat. Period. The End.

Buddy, learn to play the game properly first, there is a rule of 3 for stat modifiers. You cannot modify any stat by more than 3.

So 19 defense + 3 = max 22 defense

Something else to consider regarding Outwit vs Psychic Blast/EW. Outwit is useless against Power Cosmic/Quintessence figures... guess what's not? Psy Blast/EW. Also having PB/EW allows you to use your Outwit on something other than defensive abilities (PC, Perplex, HSS, etc.)

Wait, what if I have a non-SP'd character with Psychic Blast, Outwit and the Superman TA? Wait, no Perplex, carp.

Well..there ya go...I really don't have to say much after this.

I can and have used the same Enhancement character for 6 range attacks...its glorious when you can.

Some clix cant have thier powers countered...EW and Psy Blast ftw (Power Cosmic and Quintessince especially).

Every power in clix has its place and use...rep to Matminus.

Bah.
