Saw this on the Basic Strategy Thread on the Strategy board- Is this legit?

Yes it is! And its great! Look at U Iron Man, or V Wildfire, they both get running shot and 2 target EE

try using armor piercing with it, it helps get rid of those pesky damage reducers

very legal. U-men are of particular use. I used a vindicator this way and boy did it tick of my opponent, two arrows, run shot while carrying a U-men. That's why V-Dr. Doom is great (well one reason)

in the example, why does Psylocke get a free Enhance?

i do not understand why the damage doubles with Psylocke

i though Enhance just increased the DV by 1?

enhancement is a free action that increase the damage value to a friendly character. on energy explosion, damage value is reduced to 1, since enhancement, unlike perplex, occurs merely by being adjacent for free it can raise that reduced damage up. now each energy explosion attack (each representing each arrow) would be doing two damage.

that's probably the least technical way of explaining it, but i'm not judge or anything

ah, ok thanks for that.

It also works with SHIELD members (since it says that it can be done anytime, unlike perplex) The thing with shield though is you cannot carry them to do it if you runnig shot (since the NAAT rule is in play) you have to RS beside him (so he can still legally do an action). You also cannot do it before running shot because it has to be done as the attack is being made...but it works! (costs an action, but it can be a lot cheaper than a Vet U-man if you're low on points)

V Doom and Doombots copying SHIELD. And you can running shot up next to somebody with or copying SHIELD and still get the bonus.

Or rather Shield says that it is done when the adjacent friendly character is making a ranged combat attack. Which is different than the timing on Perplex. (Like you state later in your answer.)

the absolute best for enhancement is experienced taskmaster, who also can copy the shield team ability and go two on one figure

I would just say that with one Enhancement on a regular EE, yes, it raises the Damage Value from 1 to 2 -- technically doubling it.

But to say that

makes it sound like Enhancement doubles the damage done by EE. Which isn't technically true.

Double Enhancement adds 2 to the Damage Value, not 4, etc. Some people may think that multiple-Enhancements might continue to double, quadruple, etc. the DV.

The most you could do with EE, I think, is this:

___UM
UM UL UM

A B C

With three V U-Men around Ultron, he triple-lightning bolt EE attacks Figures A, B, and C. (And he hits all three of them.)

Figure A = 1 EE + 3 Enhancements = 4 Damage + 4 splash Damage from B = 8 clicks.

Figure C = 1 EE + 3 Enhancements = 4 Damage + 4 splash Damage from B = 8 clicks.

Figure B = 1 EE + 3 Enhancements = 4 Damage + 4 splash Damage from A + 4 splash Damage from C = 12 clicks.

Well add in some more people...with a pack of 15 and Ultron elevated he can do some serious damage.

Oh YEAH, I know he/she/it can do some serious damage to a whole group of folks. I was just demonstrating that the most a figure can take is 12 clicks in an Enhanced EE.
