Btw, I'm Chuck Norris. Love the internet :cheeky:

I am new to clix and recently just got my hands on my own Spiral through trade....then i find out the new rules. :(

I think the change to her trait is fair and provides a hassle-free game.

I agree. She's still incredibly good for the points. Her speed is tremendous, her stats are very solid, and her 8-click dial is jammed packed with useful powers.

I don't know what the new rules for Spiral are and really don't care since my venue plays the pieces as they were originally printed to play. And you know what, we never had any problems playing against Spiral because 1) If you build a team that can't stand up to a threat of an Alpha strike to begin with, you're going to have a hard time regardless if they can port in or come in traditionally. 2)The thing with Sprial that it is a 2 way street, sure they can get to your figures fast, but then they are stuck right were your team is when your turn starts and that's assuming they actually successfully role the alpha strike attacks. and 3) the way to deal with the portals was always about positioning. When you see you have that piece across from you at the start of the game, Position your figures to be ready for a counter on turn one (since you're immune anyway), or if you go first, move your pieces into position preparing for the strike (ideally into hindering to get defense bonuses). Once the portal is on the field, as someone suggestd, you could simply park a figure on the portal, making coming through it impossible, since on movement you have to at the least occupy the portal square before going through, automatically making you adjacent, or surround the darn thing making it only possible for one figure to come through at any given time. All the complaining I see in the comments just shows a vast lack of imagination on how to deal with special abilities (except for the MJ pog guy, that was actually creative. Forgot about that thing).

New Rules (if I understand correctly)
1 - she doesn't clear portal markers other than her team's markers
2 - portals useable only on the next turn after they were made
3 - friendlies can only pass through them by using a free action instead of just moving through previously

She kinda seems like what Red shift should have been.

From Players Guide: #041 Spiral
Change Dimensional Portal to read: “Give Spiral a double power
action, remove all of her Gateway markers from the map and place 2
Gateway markers on the map. Place one in an adjacent square and the
other may be placed in any square on the map. Starting with your
next turn, give a friendly character occupying the square of a
Gateway marker a free action and place it in the square of the other
Gateway marker. ”

Can we get about 2/3rds of the comments in this thread deleted? I mean, seriously. The hate and complaining is ridiculous.

I'd like to see Rita make it onto a Worlds team for one last hurrah. A Mystical themed team would be her best bet...

Your wish has been granted.

If someone nodded one of these into Opal from Steven Universe, I would pay top dollar.

Well, you called that one.

They should make this a free action now instead of a double power action.

Could Spiral and her teleporting discs move Supreme Intelligence? Like if you put one of the special markers under SI, and than another somewhere else?
