303 point modern age only, 1 non-free action per turn.

(Venue I'll be playing at on Sat. house rules it that 1% over is acceptable...)

Trying to figure out what to run, not really liking the format. With only getting one non-free action support in terms of a secondary attacker kind of goes out the window.

I'm trying to decide if I should just run a big 300 point pole, like Dark Phoenix.

Or possibly the runner with a gauntlet, aim agent, and Donald Blake?

Another team would maybe be m10th magneto full gauntlet with an astral dr. strange. Pulse wave 1st round to attach the magnetic debris (hopefully).

Any advise would be helpful. I have the majority of the modern age c/u/r and a fair amount of sr. No chases though.

Thanks!

I would run a team with support like a couple perplexed on a really heavy hitter considering you will see a bunch of figures close to 300 hundred points

Since you aren't going to be able to TK and act, mobility will be important.

Hypersonic is going to rule this tournament. So the runner is not a bad choice at all. I think I'd rather just have his gem on him than the Gauntlet. The extra speed will be more important. Then you can add a Perplexer and Probber. 75 Scarlet Witch would be good, plus an object if you want.

And remember, with the Space Gem you get carry, so the Runner could carry his support.

You could also go 50 pt Scarlet Witch and a couple Astrals. Her TK won't be that useful, so adding a couple Astrals to base and prevent ranged attacks might be useful too.

This going to come down to who has the most cheap perplex and outwit and who has the best tentpole.
Going with
Morgan Lefay 122
CW Loki
Full gauntlet
Would be an intresting team. Wouldn't win but would be fun.
If you want to go cheap
FCBD Thor
Full Gauntlet.
Or
300 point superman 001

Like the team with lefay and loki, but I lack both of those pieces.

Hm, good call on skipping the gauntlet. For 220 with 17 movement+carry=awesome. With the points left, scarlet witch would be great (if i had her..still kicking myself for not picking up that ff set for $15) anwho. How do you think this would play out?

Thinking this?

Runner+gem-220
AIM Agent-38
Mindwarp-45

303 on the nose. Carry around Mindwarp for Probs+SS. AIM agent will have to stay back, but with the runners mobility, parking it somewhere where he can easily see him from shouldn't be an issue?

Not bad at all. Also don't lump your Perplex/Prob into one dial like Scarlet, who can be one shotted. Plus your wasting her offensive capability, so that team seems more efficient.

One thing to consider too. Runner gets a +2 to attack when targeting characters with 10+ speed value. So if an opponent has 9 speed, it might be more beneficial to perplex up their speed by 1, than Runners attack. Seems odd, but just something to keep an eye on.

And remember that Mindwarp has to have LoF to Runner and the attacker. So be careful how you position him. I've had his SS power work a few times now though. It's pretty cool. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips and the back an forth, was going to throw all my chips into a one man army, but I'm thinking your right and this hyper sonic + support should be more efficient.

I'm hoping to be able to spend a turn when I rest the runner to position him in a crows nest if possible, phasing should help him get there, and with only one action available; if someone wants to waste it to go after support that is hard to hit, and has 5 clix of life even better.

There is a hyper amusing team
FF52 wonderwoman
FF52 Flash
+ carry gem on glove
Nu52 enchantress

Not much slower than runner. Wonder Woman's charge after carry is great
