TK an opponent onto lava squares on Muspelheim map, then form barrier around them continuously. OOOhhh that burns.

You also need to consider that now the mind controlled figure also has to have the keyword that your team is themed with.

You can make a variation of it using the CSA team ability of one of your character : the MCed character is freindly, he can be the one gaining the token from CSA use.

My favorite tactic is to wear a lowcut shirt, lean over the map a lot and make sure to shake my dice when I shake my dice.

Um this probably won't work as well for guys.

Actually......I think some of the guys on here might be able to pull that off better in some regard...

PICS! Or it didn't happen.

Wanted to know if this is still a valid move. The only reason I ask is because I notice this was a post from 2005 and don't know if the rules have changed. Thanks guys!

the most recent nasty trick I got the chance to use was to Shoot Nightcrawler in da face with GSX Cyclops and used his Special eyes to forceblast Nighty off the roof and KO Nighty with the remaining damage from cyclops special eyes... it was a good feeling, because we all know how it feels to fight Nighty..

Ha! That's how my fiance gets me to stop playing.

This sounds more like you are describing the outcome to a game, not a "tactic". A tactic is (most often) a pre-conceived plan that you use to your advantage to win a game.

For example:

A LAMP team uses a specific tactic of basing an enemy character, poisioning them, transfering damage via Mastermind to Lockjaw, running away to heal, and then coming back to do it again.

A favorite tactic of Nightcrawler/Martial artist teams is to send Nightcrawler out to grab an enemy character and transport them back to your "kill box" of Iron Fist, Question, Diana Prince, Psylocke or other characters that attack them with EW and Outwit.

A common Sinestro Corps tactic is to pair Lyssa Drak with Arkillo, the Kinetic Accelerator object and a meteorite to ensure first strike capability with penetrating damage.

The point of this thread is to show off a killer tactic that you recently used or thought of that maybe no one else has come up with, yet - something that worked out really well and that you can assume would work just as well for other people if they try it.

Nightcrawler plus Crimson Gem plus meteorite equals I win.

Tk to gem of cyterrak roll for it turn 1...
And Pen/Psychic and Prob together,
Or TK into a charge

I like to Perplex AA Zoom's damage up by 2, Tk him spaces, zip around and smack someone with Flurry. (Or, use Nightshade to grant Zoom free BCF with his Flurry SP. IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL; mean, but legal) Since it's an SP, Zoom can use Flurry instead of making a close combat attack. Flurry is a close combat action; BCF states: "When this character is given a close combat action, you may roll a d6 after making a successful attack roll. The result replaces this character’s damage value, then that damage value is locked."

I dont know about that. HSS is a power action, Zoom's special power allows him to "use" flurry instead of a normal close combat attack as a free action. Since he was not given a close combat action, he could not use B/C/F with his HSS/Flurry special speed power.

@GreyFoxAlias

Flurry is a close combat action. Normally, yes, HSS does not work with BCF, but Just because Zoom's SP says he can choose to use Flurry instead of his normal attack, doesn't mean that all of a sudden Flurry is not a close combat action anymore, unless of course the SP specifies it clearly, which it really doesn't. And BCF DOES activate with the use of Flurry. Unless you can show me otherwise in the rulebook, or a place where it has been officially "errata'd", my position stands;
