Okay so I recently traded for a dou flashes, the flashes from the brave and the bold, and I am having trouble deciding what to use them for, I usually use Brutes or just all around and obviously good characters, so I am asking for help with the dou flashes as i see their clearly great use, so I'm asking the people of the forum how best to use the flashes.

It really depends on your team. I would not recommend using them in 300 or 400, and maybe even 500 pt teams. They are just too expensive for what you are getting. In larger games, the start of their dial is pretty versatile. If you HSS you cannot CCE or Duo Attack. If you Duo Attack you cannot HSS or CCE. They are all power actions. Once you get to their 4th click, they have that sweet Flurry power that you should abuse. If you don't want to leave them adjacent to someone, you ca still use the 14 speed HSS. Don't be afraid to push them, but remember that after that 6th click they lose HSS and go from Super Senses to Defend.

i was thinking 400 so i could put in a good secondary attacker and boost up the flashes with feats like armour piercing, so that the damage gets done for sure.

Heres my idea for the army, 400 points

The flashes 225, Armour Piercing 10

Venom 73, Vampirism 12, pounce 15

That leaves me with 65 points, im thinking a prob or 2 or maybe somebody with outwit, maybe perplex or support, either way it'll be a little guy. but im thinking outwit would be great thing to have on this team, maybe thinker.

An outwit on your team is vital. If some jerk is using Kid Zoom, you get a major disadvantage.

not really, i can use the flashes for other stuff

Actually, I agree with him. The Flashes are versatile enough to not be a stick in the mud without HSS. They just have to survive basing someone with the 16 defense and Super Senses. Probability Control will help that.

I figure I can get a cheap prob and a cheap outwit for 65 points, just gotta figure out who

The Flashes have PC through their Damage white power.

I did not realize that, thank you rowdyoctopus, for my outwit i was thinking i would use thinker, i like him, but im not sure.

ive been tryin to figure out what to do w/ them myself, i really want to play them but chkn out everytime i build a team w/ them, for a time i was thinkin a flash team, but then i was like "kid zoom crap" lol i may build one anyway idk

It helps to know who you are playing. I know that no one at my venue will play Kid Zoom so I have no fear amassing a Flash (or HSS in general) team. In fact, I started to get ragged on at my venue because I would run the Black Flash and Inertia together week in and week out. Now I have more figs and have some different options.

go for the dou flashes, there so awesome

I have not had a good opportunity since I got them. I really do not want to use them in a game with 400 points or lower. We are a casual group at my venue but people still field competitive teams and I just don't think it would work very well. I was thinking of running the Central City keyword theme team though:

The Flashes 225
HT128 Flash 101
CR Kid Flash 45
Max Mercury 71
Total - 442

Then use some combination of Armor Piercing, Swingline and Damage Shield or maybe some other feats.

Okay so here's my current the flashes team

The Flashes 225, Armour peircing 10
Venom 73, Vampirism 12, Pounce 15,
Thinker 55

still ten points left, trying to figure out what to do with them, I could put Sunder on Venom or I could put Vault on him as well, Im not sure which one, as i on ly have three points left for feats its those or alias, which wouldn't work very well on venom or flash.
