Hello.

I'm planning to test him (Lord Mar-Vell) with auto regen in a 600 pts game with cw023 Ms. Marvel, ffcw003 captain america, cw011 tony stark, cw010 Donald Blake and ih002 Banner, with an indigo lantern. I know it's probably not a very competitive team, and that it's not themed in regards of keywords, but that's the closest way to represent him and his Revengers IMO.

Stark can AE into ffcw001 Iron Man, Blake can AE into ffcw002 Thor, and then we got 4 figures with a "stop click" (Mar-Vell, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America), as well as 3 figures able to heal themselves in the way of Regeneration or Steal Energy (Mar-Vell, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel).

Banner can AE into ih043 Hulk to replace Giant-Man in the team, cause i haven't enough points, and can do a great job by being hard to take down, and got a slight chance to be rise on that annoying click once again thanks to Mar-Vell.

But when i was searching to how feat the last 8 points, i found the Battlefield Condition "Communication Breakdown", and so here comes my question : How works the Battlefield Condition "Communication Breakdown" with the Lord Mar-Vell Trait ? Can i choose "defense", and thus preventing Mar-Vell to modify my team's defense by -1 ?

Thanks to those who will respond, and have a nice day (oh, one last thing...i'm french, so...excuse me if my english is not perfect ^^!)

First of all : bonjour mon frêre de France !

Next : Yes, Communication Breakdown would prevent Defense value from being modified by Mar-Vell SP.
Ou, dans la langue de Molière : Oui en effet, Communication Breakdown empêchera les valeurs de défense d'être modifiée par un quelconque effet, y compris le Trait de Lord Mar-Vell.

PS : au cas où tu ne le saurais pas encore, on a un très bon forum français sur le clix où tu pourras poser d'éventuelles questions de règles et y trouver une réponse (en général de moi-même). Je peux te mp l'adresse si tu veux.

(haha, je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'on me réponde en français XD et par égard pour les autres membres du forum, je suppose qu'il vaut mieux que je réponde en anglais ^^!)

Thanks a lot for your answer ! That seems incredible, even if i know that most of the team will crush this with their themed team advantage to remove one BFC. But i will try it, nevertheless, as it will kind of force my friends to bring a themed team XD

(pour le forum, non, je n'étais pas au courant, mais j'avoue ne pas avoir cherché. Depuis 3 ans que je suis inscris sur ce site, j'ai posté 50 messages seulement, et je suis a peu près sur que les 3/4 sont dans la section commentaires ^^! je suis pas vraiment un forumeur actif, hélas, j'adore ce site pour sa section "unit" dont le moteur de recherche est excellent, mais en dehors du fait de poser une question de temps en temps...Merci quand même pour ta réponse agréable et rapide, en tout cas ! ^^)

Edit : one more thing...does it also prevents powers such as "Energy Shield/Deflection" working ? I hope not, but...i'm afraid it will ^^!

Yes it will prevent every modifer on defense (if you choose defense), no matter where they come from. But that doesn't include replacement (as in Defend or Defender TA)

(Traduction : oui, ça empêche la valeur choisie d'être mdifiée par quoi que ce soit, y compris si tu choisis la défense par Déflection)

That's what i thought. Well, Iron Man and Captain America won't appreciate that But at least they won't have -1 to their defense, wich is still better. And the others in the team will take 100% benefit from communication breakdown. Heck, opponent won't even be able to perplex up his defense. I love that ^^

Thanks for your quick answer (and for the translation, even if it's not necessary. My english comprehension is perfect, contrary to my english expression )

Hope to see you again for other questions
