In a set with so much stealth Warblade's defense of toughness with a possible baby sized barrier thrown in feels very naked. He has a lot of regen interspersed throughout his dial though so as long as he's not focused on he could come back again and again and again. Offensively he brings a variety of threats throughout his dial, sometimes offering choice like flurry or CCE, others offering harmony with exploit weakness or flurry paired with b/c/f. Click 3 looks especially deadly, it just makes me a little sad to see it paired with a naked 15 defense that even support characters could hit the majority of the time.

Free action barrier is huge. Carry him around with a flier and just wait for the opportune moment to strike. On an indoor map, he really can dictate the flow of action. 5 stars from me.

This is one of my favorite characters. The attack ability and the barrier looks great. However, I feel like the defense makes him a little glass-jawed. The Indomitable gives length to his dial, but it looks like a dial that could easily be chewed up and spit out by a well-coordinated attack. The Regen is spaced out nicely, so with proper timing and planning, this fig could put up a nice fight despite the bare 15 defenses.

One of the better WildC.A.T.S. pieces. Charge and blades is nice, but the low defense keeps him from being great.

As past figures have shown, free Barrier can be quite powerful on a brawler to keep the pesky snipers away. His biggest downfall is actually those low defense Regen clicks; they're easy targets, and all that time spent using Regen is time your 92 point brawler isn't doing his job.

Kind of a portable kill-box and stall piece. Combined with some sharp shooters this could be very interesting. Your opponent could get punished for attacking and will get punished for not attacking.

What is up with 15 DV's mid dial with no damage reducers or evaders? Thats just asking to be slammed by the opponents whole team. Also BIO-MORPHIC SHIELD's limitation of only being usable when he has no action token makes an awesome power just seem, okay at best. Other than that the Indominable keeps him in the fight long enough to give you a chance to hopefully use those Regen clicks and the long dial at 92pts is a nice.

Oddly deep. Always usefull Not bad.

Kind of an odd take on the character. I like the idea behind the trait, but will need to see it played to see how useful it is.

Very interesting dial, going to need some support tho.

Can't wait to get my hands on this beast and play him...

:cheeky:
:a-sharpshooter:

love the free barrier

I absolutely love the Wildcats and Gen 13. I can't wait till all the figures are released. One of my favs' is Warblade. I think this is a perfect representation of him. Not sure how much invuln' cost for figs, but I'd pay the extra cost for him to have that as a trait. He has liquid metal armor all over him after all. I just hope the synergy of The Wildcats works well. U guys remember Nextwave right? It was cool to get all them...then u play them as a team. Not competitive @ all. Lets not have that happen with them.

I don't know what mr.malice is smoking before his games but Nextwave are my go to team. They wreck

A bit on the slow side, but with someone to carry him, he can use free barrier to shield himself and his taxi before setting up a charge/blades attack, which also helps compensate for his lowish defense values.
