Does Poison ignore damage reducing powers?

cos when we were playing we had an arguement. my friend was like "no" but I was like "If cloak was right next to Magog engulfing his face in a cloak it would certainly damage him". He wasnt having any of it which is kinda harsh but anyway I wasted Magog with Dagger next turn even though he had repulsor shield

Does it ignore super senses?

Can you use mastermind?

Can you use Mystics (or damage shield)?

Please help me... or dont (it will just mean ill put you on my list)

1) It does not ignore damage-reducing powers (unless the poisoning fig has Armor Piercing)

2) It ignores super senses, which triggers when the fig w/super senses is hit with an attack. Poison is not an attack.

3) Mastermind can be used for damage dealt, so yes, you can mastermind off poison damage to another figure.

4) Mystics does not trigger upon poison damage, as, like Super Senses, it requires an attack. Same deal with Damage Shield, which requires a successful close combat attack. Poison does not qualify as an attack. It deals damage without attacking.

5) Shouldn't you be on your friend's list, since he was correct?

Thank you.

Told you I was right.

Excuse ME curbludgeon did i ask for your opinion about my lists?

And thanks a branch for the help
except not really. now viper, cloak, firestar and others just seem so much worse


Oh wait a second... can Cloak ignore damage reducers cause of Exploit Weakness????

Please say yes

When he is given close combat action, yes. That won't help Poison any, though. If you want to make Poison stick, you have to throw Armor Piercing on the character.

Yes, per the normal rules for Exploit Weakness. That is, just because he has Exploit Weakness doesn't mean his Poison bypasses damage reducers. Try Armor Piercing if you want that.

And asking things to behave in Heroclix the same way they'd behave in comic books is just a sure path to heartbreak

Oh god why bother when cloak has EW
Id prefer to use AP on someone worthwhile

But the whole point of Heroclix is to play and reenact scenes in comics

still my spidey friends will still waste everyone

Dodoriaz be afraid be very afraid

Plenty of reasons, actually.

1 - Poisoning characters with damage reducers (as already mentioned)
2 - EW doesn't work with his ranged attack, if you decide you need to ping someone sitting of the edge of a building
3 - EW doesn't work on characters with Fortitude
4 - He doesn't have EW his whole dial

I could go on, but I think you get the point

noralview.... and i think im speaking on behalf of us all

Where would we be without you?


But still you ruin my fun

Because you would get a chance to hurt someone with his Poison BEFORE you make your attack. It just might make them a little easier to hit... or it might even KO them, freeing up Cloak to do something different.

I had an opponent base Madame Masque with 3 figures, forgetting she has Poison. I nicked them all for a click each, then pickced out the biggest threat left to attack next.

If you're going to field a Poison figure, you might as well add AP to them as well, just to make the one click count for something.

I think people know not to go near Cloak as with his sneaky 2 range and poison anyway so i may as well give AP to Spidey or just dont bother and use V Dr. Strange


Dagger tends to waste more anyway

Best post of the day!

And speaking from someone who's JSA team got LAMP'd to death last night, Poison with Armor Piercing can be very effective.

No I actually think your last was better

On second thoughts I like neither
