Avenges initiative.

...to three, because HSS halves range.

...doesn't affect Plasticity in the least.

No, but it does mean that her Stealth is useless and now you don't need to get close to her. And if you don't need to get close to her, Plasticity is no biggie.

Wow ... until this thread I didn't make the connection that close combat HSS is useless against plasticity. That is ... unfortunate, to put it mildly.

ITs awesome. Since Rurouni lead the charge on outwit getting done his way, something had to step up and be a new counter to hypersonic speed. Now they just need characters with decent defenses with plasticity.

And damage values under 3 are useless against Imperv and Invuln. P/PB, RCE, EE, are useless against Stealth (when the LoF is hindered). MC and Incap are useless against BF. It happens. FB is useless against Charge and CR. Plasticity is useless against P/T. It happens.

Why? Replace the 0 with half of 0 +2 perplex is still 2... Not sure why you think you need to perplex up range by more than 2.

Replace, then Modify. 0/2 is 0, +2 is 2. ^^ of course, +3 still means another square you get to move around with, so don't ignore your options.

about IM ign figures...what happend if i pass in an adjacent square of a figure with plasticity, do i stop? and continue?

Grenades. Grenades are ALWAYS the answer.

So it's confirmed that you can't use HSS to attack a character with Plasticity? That really sucks for HSS. Since this is such a nerf for HSS, does this mean that every previous character with HSS is now slightly over-costed?

Post 10 by Normalview in this thread says you ignore their plasticity. (because you are ignoring them to begin with)

charge and flurry? Tk friendly and capture? Clear the Streets? Energy explosion her adjacent friendlies if any? Superman TA, Avengers Initiative TA / wildcard copy and range attack? Pulse Wave? Flash Grenades on Utility belt?

IM-Figures, treats the figure as if it is not there. Ignores the effects of that character completely, so they are good. Pfft... what Plasticity.

If they have no range or they have battle fury they are. The Supermen with hypersonic are still dangerous. Superboy prime , however, is no threat to plasticity figures while on his top click.

You just need a character with HSS and Improved Movement: Ignores Characters, like the SR Flash from Teen Titans.

Add some Perplexers....

Good times!
