I'm itching to use the new Colossus SP in the new FLOOR-mat.

Here's what I want to do:

Colossus 158
+ Wolverine E - Ultimates 70
+ Katanna 37


Step 1:
If I understand the ability correctly, I can have Katanna "Outsider" Wolverine which effectively negates the -2 penalty. Correct?

Step 2:
Then I'll use Colossus to throw a Fastball Wolverine at someone - at which point Logan takes a click and pushes onto his sweet Flurry/BCF slot.

Step 3:
At which point I can declare my Ultimate X-men TA, and begin carving up the opponent like a Christmas Ham.

Does all that jibe?

And finally: Those 3 figures add up to 265 points. What's the best support 35 points can buy?

I'm thinking SR Scarlet Witch for flight & Barrier, or Auto Regen on Wolverine & 23 points of feats...

Any thought are appreciated.

Thanks!

It would, but Ultimates are retired. Remember half of your team has to be from M&M(which your's is) but the other part has to be unretired figures.

However, I shouldn't be passing my tact around but I have been looking for ways to use his Fastball Special too. So try something along the lines of this..

Colossus 158
+Armor Piercing10
Sin Wolverine 94
Katana 37

299pts.

For one of your BFC's play Communication Breakdown. Make attack power unchangeable, and have Katana do it to your damage. Then on your bye and other BFC, use Katana to do it to your attack. You will still have the damage modifier then, but if Wolvey can get BCF....wow.

Great ideas, mouse.

You are spot on for your interpretation of all the rules, right down to the Outsiders ability being able to negate that nasty -2 penalty. And Wolverine can then Flurry his little claws into a frenzy potentially dealing a whopping 12 damage AFTER Colossus' fastball pegs them for 2.

The only catch is I think you'll need to find another "fastball", because Ultimates is retired. My initial complaint about the floor events was that it would have been a great way to implement some new purchases while appealing to all of us with mammoth collections because we could then incorporate our older "retired" figs again. Unfortunately, I think WizKids floor concept allows for the other 50% of your build to come from only unretired sets.

Also, I'm not 100% sure Katana's set isn't retired also.

Sorry, but with some replacement figs, the strategy still works great.

One more thing: The initial hit from the Fastball is a lot more effective if you have some outwit to turn off imp/inv...just my 2 cents.

Good lineup, Justice.

This Wolverine is also a nice choice thanks to the CR on click two giving him an effective 18DV for close combat. Communication Breakdown is a great idea as well...but you won't need it to pull this off. Outsiders ability is actually more powerful than a lot of people give it credit for. It makes ALL of a characters stats un-modifiable. One hit from Katana with Outsiders will make both AV and Damage unable to be bumped or dumped for the entire turn.

I'm still looking for a flurry/bcf combo on click 2 in legal figs...I liked Anonym0use's first lineup for the sheer ferocity of it

Sorry for the multiple posts, my edit button isn't working for some stupid reason.

Here is my idea for using Colossus in a Unrestricted 400pt. game. Feel free to use it as a base as well.

Mutant Theme Team

Colossus 158
+Armor Piercing 10

V. Banshee 90
+Nova Blast 10
+Endurance 5

V. Sunfire 75
+Contingency Plan 12

Marvel Girl(M&M) 40

400pts even

BFC for sure is Communication Breakdown...and something else..not sure.

At the beginning use Communication Breakdown against your attack power. Basically the fun aspect of it comes when Colossus throws Banshee at an opponent causing at least one damage thanks to Armor Piercing. After Banshee takes his click of damage, it puts him on his Pulse Wave click(no one will see that coming). Nova Blast uses Unmodified Damage value which means you will be using a 3 damage. Communication Breakdown will make sure you are using a 9 attack. Then use Sunfire's Contingency Plan to up Banshee's Range, making it up to an 11(6 with Nova Blast). If you miss, you have a Probabiltiy Control from the theme team bonus.

Enjoy!

I would try the strategy with the all too affordable vet echo... 10 attack blades on click two, only 38 pts.

If that is how the outsiders team ability wors, and im not up to speed on it, then shang chi would be excellent! flurry 3 damage

Oh rep to you my good man.

She can cause 6 clicks of damage, and she is extremely affordable!!!

EDIT: You must spread the love around before giving rep to Spiderman360.

Seriously. I'm so using this tactic.

I forgot to mention they HOUSE RULED RETIREMENT at my venue.

I know, I know "But it's an official event... you *Have* to follow the rules."

Tell it to the judge

If you'd like to file a complaint with Wizkids, here's our venue information:

The Android's Dungeon
Venue #321
145 Main street
Springfield, U.S.A

LOL, at first I was like...wait that address sounds awfully familiar...then it clicked.

Worst ... event ... ever.

158 - V Colossus
80 - V Metamorpho
+10 - Armor Piercing

248 - Total

Metamorpho is a beast, FBS is perfect for him. He is an Outsider. His second click has Poison, Plasticity, and base 4 damage.

Metamorpho's Dial

You have 52 points to play with, do it!

Your only problem with this is that Wolverine wouldn't gain his TA bonus if Katana targets him at the start of the turn.

On the other hand, not Outsidering before FBS and then using UXM TA means an effective -1 AV, so you may as well Outsider him and save Wolvie's UXM declaration for next turn, when you push Wolvie to do another BCF/Flurry attack.
