Sharpshooter makes that arc reactor power extra nice.

This figure deserves some kind of Nerf. In a game last week against my Thunderbolts this Electro managed to finish of 6 figures in 2 turns then another 1 on top of that when he struck Luke Cage and Juggernaut who were adjacent, Juggs didn't take any damage from the Lightning but Luke Cage died in 3 hits. I don't think his stats or points are too good I think giving him the potential for 7 attacks in a turn is ridiculous, you're only defensive option is to get to him and shut him down with outwit or fists or to spread your guys WAY out to make sure he can't bounce. Maybe he could get full damage on his first hit every turn then bounce around for 1 damage each hit? Like when you hit with energy explosion, except no one with energy explosion has 6 bolts or can target the same people over and over. :grin:

Actually his max damage 39 in one attack. Only the first attack uses printed damage, the rest can be modified (confirmed by vlad http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showth...403396&page=17). So 3 + 6*6 = 39. If you added 3 to his range as well through perplex or whatever, make that 57. Electro w +2 stats from UB and no other help can do 43 in 9 attacks.

wiped out a force of Astral Strange. It was beautiful

Doe psychic blast work with arc lightening?

Yes because the power says, "give electro a power action and make a ranged combat action" penetrating/psychic blast is a ranged combat action, so it does work.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. Arc lightning says that you give Electro a power action so that he can make a ranged combat ATTACK. Psychic Blast/Penetrating says that you give the character a ranged combat ACTION. SO you CANNOT use ARC Lightning with Psychic Blast because they require two different types of actions to activate. Running shot can be used with Psychic Blast because it allows for a free ranged combat action.

played a team of 4 of him, with IC E Ultron. attacking with a 13 attack across the board running his chain lightning was fun...

Finally, another Frightful Four member that isn't lame...

There is nothing that states a character that's already been hit can't be targetted again... he's perfect to wipe our pieces sitting next to each other like say... the cruiser and Lt Gordon...

Ew. I am SO trying this at some point with TK and some serious SinSyn abuse. UB + Borrowed attack + 2/3 perplex to max out rule of 3 on values (one each to damage, range, and attack if you can squeeze it). High point value golden age game where you borrow 12 or 13 attack or fullblown CW Zemo + IC V Ultron cheese for 14 borrowed, and some mix of Rookie Songbird (52 points w/ TBolts to become SinSyn like Ultron) or Super Ape: Peoter (50 points who can naturally wildcard, but no damage potential)...yeah, so at LEAST 600 points, and gimmicky as all get out, but worth trying at least once just to say you DID do that much damage with Electro! :laugh:

Actually, you can potentially do infinite damage with him if you perplex up his range. There is nothing in here about not being able to target the first character again, so you can hit 1 character then 2nd, then go back to the first. if the enemies are bunched together, you can even do a full wipe thanks to the sharpshooter.

It's not infinite. He can go back and forth but he replaces his range with PRINTED range. Maximum number of times he can hit is 7. Perplex is no use. One sick piece though

Right, buy you always replace, then modify. so you can pump his range and be able to infinite. I was able to get 5 judges to agree on this.

The problem is the actual number of preplex figures you need, and that they all have to be able to draw line of fire to Electro when using Perplex (or become extremely expensive to avoid such limitations). This puts some practical limits on the trick, moreso with certain maps. While you could probably still manage "full wipe" territory of using Perplex to massively over-boost range to counteract the penalties, "infinite" is a bit much. Which really just makes it even MORE gimmicky (and means Electro is addicted to hookers).
