Agree! But, bad positioning aside, I'll let Superman (or anyone else) take a head shot on Squirrel, considering Darkseid will have a free attack at that precise moment.

Imagine if Superman attacks SG with a range attack? Darkseid will fire back with 12 AV PB! Sounds a good trade off for me!

Having said that, I understand what you're saying. That's why I was asking you, the guys who play often, to let me know how this will handle the big guns (aka, the Supermen)

Two things come into play here,
1) Bad positioning will ruin this team
2) If they got within range or got close enough to k0 bruce in one hit(which a figure would need 5 or more damage to 1 hit Bruce.) then Darkseid will have the opportunity to retaliate.

With 11 range they cant out range him, with 12 attack he will most likely hit, and with psy blast and outwit he will most likely be doing his 5 damage to the brick who 1 hit Bruce. In my case I would perplex damage to 6 with James.

They key to playing the team at 400 is positioning.

Keep in mind Big Figure allows for a "Ranged Combat Attack" (or Close Combat Attack) as a Free Action, not a "Ranged Combat Action" which is required to use PB. So while Darkseid will get a free shot on who ever KO'd SG (in this example) it will NOT be Psychic Blast.

But he has outwit to outwit that def power

As long as he did it before your figure get's KO'd.

Point is Darkseid will have a free hit, it does not matter is bruce is dead hitting for 5-6 clix hurts pretty bad....

Darkseid has top dial outwit...

What Terman8er is saying that Darkseid will get a free shot, per Big Figure's SP, but he cannot use Outwit before that attack. So there's a chance he'll miss, say Superman, if he rolls his Impervious.

Right?

Obvious achievement unlocked! +2 "on the nose" awarded!

A lot of it will come down to the Map as well. If theres lots of blocking terrain for Superman to hide behind after popping people in the mouth, it makes it very difficult for Darkseid to track him down.

The thing is though Darkseid (using the team we have been talking about) gets to return fire (see: Big Figure) immediately upon KO'ing a figure. That means if Superman HSS's in, hits Darkseid and he MM's it to a pog then that pog is KO'd right then, before Superman continues his HSS movement. So Darkseid gets to return fire, before Superman continues his HSS movement.

And map be damaned. If Darkseid is carrying someone he shares a keyword with his Phasing means he can out maneuver Superman on any map. (giving the one carried a free shot once placed)

This is something I found in the 300 pts metagame discussion, then I added somehting to make it 400 pts.

This was the 300 pts team (credit to ignatzmouse, I believe)

Common Superman 150
Nightcrawler 86
Cypher 38
J. Jonah Jameson 26

Then I'm looking to add either 2x Johnny Quick for 100 pts or drop Jameson and add 1x JQ 50 + Lyssa Drak 72 for 396

What's the best bet? I lack PC, which is something I use every game, but with that much Perplex, I think it'll be ok...

I was talking about with my team... not the big fig...

Darkseid 267pts
BruceBanner 55pts
Warlord 50 pts
J. Jonah Jameson 26pts

And we where talking about banner....

and you should not put your Darkseid in a position for superman to hit and hide.... that is the part about playing smart with that team to do well.

I think you will do well with this team because of your play style. I play well depending on the prize

Yeah boi!!!
