This is becoming a pet peeve of mine, the +1 from ICWO is not Perplex. It is as much like Perplex as PD or Enhancement is.

The +1 only affects your combat values, it lasts til the beginning of your next turn, and it it not lost if you are healed or wounded. In addition, it is not effected by the Outsiders TA.

The 10 point cost per figure is not added to the point value of the figure. Only feats that say "Choose a character" add to the value. Meaning that when you KO an agent you don't get those 10 points. The only way to get them is to KO all of the agents and get the cost paid for the feat card.

It just dissapoints me that there aren't any Mystic who can use Damage Sheild on their first click. That'd be sweet. A Mystic with Armor Piercing and Damage Sheild. Looks like a job for super-duper-wildcardin' Cloak!

Not true! Zatanna and Circe both start with ES/D, so they can use Damage Shield as needed.

Well it's very nearly Perplex. It's quicker to say Perplex than "+1 to your combat values till the beginning of your next turn" over and over again. I beg to differ on your saying it's as much like Perplex as PD or Enhancement are (they boost only one specific value not your choice, where as ICWO boosts any value that Perplex can boost). But that's quibling.

Perhapos it's better to refer it to Perplex-like or Nearly-Perplex.


Ah right... Misread that. Hmm I will need to go over 2 previous online games and make sure that it didn't affect the victory points too much..

As other people who are like Mystics...V Bron and U Sam Rey from Indy are Crossgen both start with Invulnerability so they could both use it. E Demon, V Demon, U Ares, LE Zatanna, V Zatanna, R Circe, can all use it on their first clicks. Of Course Ares makes use of damage shield the most...at 8 clicks of use

Also thought I would mention...that while Son of Darkside Superman can use Damage Shield his entire 11 click dial you should remember that damage shield can be reduced while Mystics/Crossgen can not. So the total best bang for your buck figure using the two is U Hellboy from Indy. 11 clicks of Mystics 9 clicks of Damage shield, so if you use Hellboy with Samandahl Rey you get 20 clicks of Mystics and 9 of Damage Shield, plus Sam can heal Hellboy at the end of his dial. Just a thought.
