Brilliant Tactician

• Replace the text on the card with: “Prerequisites: Outwit and Perplex Choose a
character. Outwit does not need to show in the character’s stat slot in order for the character to use this feat. When the character uses Perplex, it may affect every target friendly character within 10 squares of it that shares a team ability with it. The character must have clear line of fire to each target.”

Fantastic Four

• Replace the last line with: “Any member of this team may replace its defense value with the unmodified defense value of any other member.


Disbanded

• Disbanded will affect characters with the Power Cosmic team ability.

Low Gravity

• Characters that are unaffected by knock back are not affected by Low Gravity.

Brilliant Tactician

• When affecting friendly characters with Brilliant Tactician, different combat values may be modified per each character affected.

Fantastic Four

• When a character with a wildcard team ability uses the team ability of a Fantastic Four member with the Fantastic Four card, the wildcard character uses the new team ability instead of the original Fantastic Four team ability.

Force Field

• The character that meets the prerequisites and is assigned the feat is the one that gains Toughness.

Shake Off

• A character that automatically breaks away deals no damage with the Shake Off feat (this includes when using Phasing/Teleport). A break away roll is required to use Shake Off.


Double-Base Characters

• If a double-base character has half of its base in hindering terrain and half of its base in clear terrain, it is starting its movement in hindering terrain regardless of which end the movement is lead with.

• If a double-base character has half of its base in hindering terrain and half of its base in clear terrain, only the half that is in hindering terrain would gain any benefits of hindering terrain when a line of fire is being drawn to the double-base character.

• A double-base character must end its movement so that its base rests on one of the squares within its movement range.

• If a line of fire is being drawn from one half of a double-base character and the line of fire crosses a square that the other half of the double-base character occupies, the line of fire is blocked.

Giant Characters

• A giant character must be one square away from blocking terrain to destroy it.

• A giant character with Super Strength must be one square away from an object to pick it up.

Transporters

• A transporter using the special transporter Move and Attack ability may continue its movement after making an attack, even if it became adjacent to an opposing character when making the attack.

• A transporter may only carry a single character.

Thunderbolts

• Characters assigned the Thunderbolts feat may not choose a team ability that is granted by a feat card when choosing a team ability.

• When a character with a wildcard team ability uses the team ability of an Avenger with the Thunderbolts card, the wildcard character uses the new team ability instead of the original Avengers team ability.

• Avengers characters using Thunderbolts may change their chosen team ability with each new round of a tournament.

Earthbound

• A transporter that gains Earthbound gains the standard boot type speed symbol. It is not a transporter when it has a standard speed symbol.

Stealth

• A giant character that gains Stealth (or a Stealth-like team ability) is considered to be stealthed when in hindering terrain, regardless of the elevation of an opposing attacking figure.

• A double-base character must end its movement so that its base rests on one of the squares within its movement range.

• If a line of fire is being drawn from one half of a double-base character and the line of fire crosses a square that the other half of the double-base character occupies, the line of fire is blocked.

Giant Characters

• Blocking terrain blocks adjacency to and from Giant characters.

• Standard characters and Big characters two squares away from a Giant character are not considered adjacent for ranged combat purposes.

• A Standard or Big character must be within one square of a Giant character to use Force Blast against the Giant character.

• A giant character must be one square away from blocking terrain to destroy it.

• A giant character with Super Strength must be one square away from an object to pick it up.

Earthbound

• A transporter that gains Earthbound gains the standard boot type speed symbol. It is not a transporter when it has a standard speed symbol.


Stealth

• An elevated character can see “over” hindering terrain, and thus can draw a clear line of fire to a non-elevated character with Stealth, unless the character with Stealth occupies a square with hindering terrain.
• A giant character that gains Stealth (or a Stealth-like team ability) is considered to be stealthed when in hindering terrain, regardless of the elevation of an opposing attacking figure.

So T-bolts can't copy the new FF TA! Cool!

But what about the flurry clicks for Sub-mariner E?

Yeah, I was kind of frustrated by that too.

But I am glad that they got the FAQ out in time for the set becoming "street legal!"

I think you covered it....."what about them?".

I think they're saying he's correct.

this from someone who has Napoleon Dynamite for his avatar!

j/k


Well now the question that begs to be asked is, were they figured into his point cost?

Yes, his dial is correct as it is on the figure. And the FAQ almost makes it live before the set is street legal. The set is live today, the FAQ is live Friday.

"A double-base character must end its movement so that its base rests on one of the squares within its movement range."

Someone want to clarify them? Does this mean the full base? So you can't just have Ghost Rider do a 180 at the end of his move to squeeze that extra square out of his range?

"So T-bolts can't copy the new FF TA! Cool!"

I think what they are saying is that a person needs to have that actual ability to copy it. You cannot just say "I copy the FF from the feat instead of the normal FF". If Moon Knight and Thing are on the same team, and Thing has the FF feat, MK can copy it, otherwise NO!

No, you cannot use the T-Bolts ability to give them the new FF ability, period:

So you can use the T-Bolts to assign the original FF TA, but not the new one.

I like what there saying is that a character using the Thunderbolts ability CAN NOT ever copy any TA feat cards. They can only use the original TA's.

Double based movement.
I think this is saying I can do a 90 degree turn (so I finish with head and tail level) but not the 180 to get the extra square like Sentinal, etc can do.

Thunderbolts and FF.
So She-Hulk Vet can copy FF and gets the regular heal.
I then put Sue Storm on the team with FF Feat, and both girls now share defense?

Marlow.

This could be phrased better, but I'm pretty sure they mean that: Yes, you can do the 180, since it says that the base must rest in one of the squares within range. This seems to leave you free to swing the other end of the base around and get that extra square.

Wouldn't hurt to have a judge clarify this, though.

No She-Hulk would only be able to use the Original FF TA,not the one granted by the FF feat Card.

Can you use a the team ability of a "normal x-man", say wolverine, with a T-bolted Avenger with the X-men TA?
