Can they be used together since Nova Blast results in 2 clicks of pushing damage which can be prevented(that is until the character rolls 1 or 2)by Endurance feat?

As presently worded, yes - Endurance can be used to prevent any pushing damage. Just keep in mind that you add one token for each point of pushing damage.

I doubt it. I think when you see "pushing" damage on Nova you should consider it Unavoidable now. But I could be wrong.

as a strict reading of the ruleings it works


but you can garuntee great ridicule and scorn if you play this combo lol

Consider me scorned!!

I played it two weeks ago in a 600pt. Constructed game. I was using the Fatal Five and had the combo on Vet Emerald Empress. Talk about effective, I ended up winning the tournament. At first everyone scorned me, but after they saw it work, they were dreaming up ways to use it.

No, nbperp has confirmed that Endurance can be used to prevent pushing damage from feats as well, so as it stands right now it works. Only two things can change this: An errata entry or a reprint that changes the wording on Nova Blast to unavoidable damage. The errata entry at least seems unlikely to happen.

)_)...(_(... *runs off and plots evily to combo Endurance with Haymaker, Nova Blast, Pounce, Protected, Double Time, Darkness Within, and Passenger*

Seriously. The thought of some Running Shot/Charge flier carrying around like a Rookie Multiple Man with Endurance and using them as a Darkness Within battery (and simply not ever taking actions with Multiple Man)...I love it. Haymaker and Pounce for the endured win. Double Time and Passenger to delay damage for travel options. Protected because it's an arsehole move.

Won't work on Pounce - any feat that has been reprinted is considered to use the wording on the latest version. Works on the others though.
Try Red Hood instead - with Enhancement, he can give you a +2 to damage. If you also give him Contingency Plan, he can boost other stats as well every now and then.

Endurance/Darkness Within works, cant remember who said it did though. I've tried the combo with HoM Mags and a SHIELD agent, it ruled.

Well, unless they errata Nova Blast... yeah, this is a brilliantly evil combo. Personally, I like the tentpole...

Nimrod
+ Protected
+ Auto Regen
+ Nova Blast
+ Endurance

299.

Oh, I cannot wait to use this one. In a 400 point match, give him a TKer....(Shudders) Maybe work in Dr. Polaris so that he can be healed...(Shudders, twice)

And this is why I am not 'evil-combo-creator guy'. My other suggestion would have been E HIVE Trooper [5 points over Madrox for Enhancement], but Red Hood...ebil!

That's brilliantly evil! Stupid hard to get feats.

All of you are evil, and thank you for letting me join you club of devious feat combos.

if that shield agent was R Psylocke from armor wars then that is sweet. she's got the Shield TA, Perplex, and has the mutant keyword (just like Magneto)
