Hey, so I've been experimenting a bit and found I could get a good low-cost synergy with this as the team's spine:
The idea is that Sand's RCE with Gordon's Enhancement and Police TA (boosted by his trait) can deal a ton of damage from a distance while Constantine stands back supporting with his Prob. Control.
Of course this leaves me with a nice 176 points, which I thought would be good to spend on a strong character who can hold his own and be enough of a threat so that the opponent can't ignore him while Constantine's PC + Sand/Gordon's combo does the rest of the damage and support. I've got some options as for who can take that last place, but I'm willing to listen to new ideas and suggestions. Also, Constantine's a wild card, so there's that to play with.
My current shortlist:
Some of these leave room for other stuff, like Loki at 120 points or Ra's at 140, i'm also listening to any suggestion on what to fill that spot with, a Taxi maybe?
For 176, one of my favorite things to do is play XXS Magneto, Realist for 100 pts, and AI Ego-Prime for 75 pts. Ego and magneto both give carry options for your team, plus destroying blocking terrain (read, squares AND walls) with ego to both make anti-bodies and get a free quake to soften up your opponent's team before using Magneto's title ability to give everyone within range +1 atk and really putting on the hurt with sand. Magneto will also give you a leadership for all of those ego bystanders and to keep your sandblaster (TM) going every turn.
I like your combo of Constantine and Sand. Constantine can WC Sand's JSA TA for both the 18 and the Super Senses in adjacency.
I rather like your Martian Manhunter. MM's Stealth and healing Shape Change aid his survivability; he can benefit from Gordon's Enhancement and super-Police TA at range, and he can Charge and bash if need be.
Your team looks enjoyable! It does have 125 points of rather short dials, but they are fun dials.
This is a 300 pt Gotham theme team, so I get +5 to my map roll and 5 theme probs.
I use all 5 of the SF Batman for 60 pts, which I primarily use for uber-outwit, mobility, mass perplex, stealth and RCE/EE, although he can pitch in as a melee bodyguard if necessary.
I use chase Green Arrow (80 pts) and JW Deadshot (75 pts) as my primary ranged killers. Although you could easily sub in Oliver Queen, Templar (80 pts) from EW if you don't have one of those with a bit of a drop in efficiency.
Gordon of course is in for 30 pts and is pretty much the lynchpin of the team.
I use Penguin to spam out robo-penguins that deal either PW or PPB. He only costs 40 pts and is amazing.
With the 15 remaining pts I typically use the Ape Batman bystander pog for an extra outwit. Although I do have an alternate team where I use IDs to call in XXS fast forces Beast and XXS White Queen prime, both are outwitters with Beast being a melee bodyguard and Emma is a cannon that gives out AoE empower/enhancement. Oh, and with that config with the last 5 pts give Ollie the Knobbed Mace in case someone bases him.
As far as tactics go I keep Pengy and Deadshot adjacent for 2 reasons. Oswald can use Defend to boost DS's Def to 18, and after Deadshot's 2nd clic both of their AV's are the same. So I have the option of giving Floyd Penguin's AV (still an 11 @ clic one w/Batman's perplex) and moving one of the robos a free action , then giving it an attack action to pulse wave! They usually don't see that one coming yet! Lol
I keep Gordon & Ollie adjacent to GA so he gets the benefit of the police TA to drop his target's def by 2, use enhancement and hopefully have leadership allow Ollie attack 2 turns in a row a couple of times a game. Geez between Batz' perplex and gordon Ollie basically has a 15 AV and 6 DMG (w/RCE)!
I keep Batz and the ape pog between the two groups to use outwit and perplex as needed.
Another alt config is to yank oswald, floyd and the pog to bring in WF FF Supes and Vicki Vale for 2 PC, though they both have the Gotham City KW so they don't break theme.
What do you think? Any ideas you can use? Maybe you could give me some thoughts for my teams?
