Hey, sorry if this is a repeated question. I swear I read some errata last year that said resources couldn't be used on collossals, is that still a thing? Or is it simply the power battery that stops working?

There is no such rule. And I have no idea why the Power Battery would matter.

A few specific characters can't use resources (their character cards will tell you this).

And some effects, like the new-ish Equip, only work on standard characters ( are not standard). So Galactus can't use Hulkbuster parts.

But there is no such rule like you are indicating.

You can absolutely use resources on collossals

You cannot equip an entity (or anything else that qualifies as "equipped") to a Collossal

A teambase or vehicle cannot use a resource

But a Sentinel can absolutely use the Power Plant or a Power Battery

Sentinels actually prefer the Phoenix Force ...

... cause Nimrod absolutely needs to be able to render Mystics damage.

I had the same misconception at first. I think it was due to them introducing "Equipping." But as stated, that is referencing an Entity. I blame there not being a rule book to refer back to when you think you hear such things...

Wow awesome. I have no idea where I thought up that errata from. I need to play more HeroClix - that's probably the issue.

Can duos use the infinity gauntlet? Thought they changed what symbols can use resources.

Yes, a duo can use the infinity gauntlet.

They changed the definition of a "standard character". At this time, primarily for the purpose of what can have things "equipped" to it.

A duo can use a resource. That's the same as it's always been. Resources aren't "
equipped" to a figure - things like Ophidian, Parallax, Brainiac, Eclipso, Hulkbuster pieces (to name a few) - those are "equipped". But resources aren't.

go here:

and do a control-F and search for "standard character"

The time I ran an Infinity Gauntlet on a 300pt Advanced Sentinel was my favorite thing ever because it could push every turn, never take damage, and the Soul Gem ensured it just wouldn't die

But never use the Utility Belt on colossal Manhattan. He likes his freedom, if ya know what I'm sayin'.

If a character is not a standard character, then it can’t be equipped. Using Eclipso as an example, he can’t be equipped to a bystander character, or any character that possesses one or more of the listed combat symbols.

that's correct and also not relevant.

The "equip" mechanism is applicable to (a) entities (who had it errata'd onto them) and (b) those figures with the "equip/effect" terminology on their cards (examples include Eclipso, Brainiac, Jocasta).

Resources do NOT have this equip/effect terminology (ok, the BotS says "equip", but there's no "effect", so that's a different terminology).

Resources can be used by colossal figures even though they're not standard characters.

This seems to come up every 2-3 months and people seem to not get it - a simple search on this website (or via a Google search restricted to this website) would pull up all of the prior discussions/threads and spare us having to drive this nail over and over and over and over and over again.

For now, power batteries allow you to "place" a construct on a friendly character.

Not equip them.

That's the difference, to me, at least.

That's the key difference.
