You guys are over thinking this. Just dump a bag of quicklime on him.

I agree that he doesn't get to heal until the end of his turn, but that doesn't matter. He has 12 Range 3 Target MC. He can MC out of adjacency (due to his colossal status) and he's probably had 2-3 turns to throw Starrophyte tokens out there. Let's assume, he's had 3 turns, and he's thrown out an average of 3 Starrophytes per turn, so 9. Now you say he's got an 8 Attack? Wrong:

DOMINATION: Starro can use Mind Control. When using Mind Control to attack a target, modify Starro's attack value by +1 for each Starrophyte that is 6 or fewer squares from the target and that also has a clear line of fire to the target. Starro doesn't take damage due to the point value of the target or targets when it uses Mind Control.

He's likely got an 11 AV against at least Herc and Namor. With his multi-attack, he get's 2 turns to Triple Target MC, with an 11 Attack.

Since his healing is a free action, let's assume he rolls a 3 on his heal roll, and then removes his 9 Starrophyte tokens = 12 healing.

Plus, Herc and Namor just ran back, and beat the $%^& out of your own team, probably killing off your TK, or your PC, or both...........leaving Herc and Namor 8 squares away from an almost fully healed Starro.

You need to kill him off in one shot.

the way I suggest winning is high damage - and prob control. Lots of it.
Shazam is a good example

His healing actually isn't an action of any type.

From the Starro Rules:

Quote

Special Power: Alien Starfish
Starro can use Toughness. At the end of your turn, you can roll a d6. At this time, you can also remove from the battlefield any number of Starrophyte tokens that are 6 or fewer squares from Starro to which Starro has a clear line of fire; add 1 to the d6 result for each removed Starrophyte. Then heal Starro of damage equal to the result.

He can heal at any time during the turn. He can only place Starrophytes at the end of the turn though.

As lastcastle and W.I.T have mentioned, you have it flipped. The healing happens at the end of the turn (See Alien Starfish above). Starro can place Starrophyte tokens at any time during his turn, except during another action.

From the Starro Rules:

Quote

Special Ability: Fragmentation
Once per turn, as a free action (though not during another action) Starro can roll a d6 and subtract 2 from the result. The minimum result depends on Starro’s power level. At Invader level, the minimum result is 1; at Dominator level, the minimum result is 2; and at Conqueror level, the minimum result is 3.
Place a number of Starrophyte tokens equal to the result in unoccupied squares 4 or fewer squares from Starro or another Starrophyte to which Starro or that other Starrophyte has a clear line of fire; tokens are placed one at a time.
