At last nights Tourny, I was playing a Blond team,
Stature (Nanobots & Lucky Break), Saturn Girl (Mental Shields), and 4 Cuckoos.
I was 1 and 1 going into the last round and there I faced Emma Frost (Protected, Mental Shields, and Nanobots) and 4 Cuckoos.

Short way into the match I had my lead Cuckoo mind controlled my opponents lead and at that moment I realized something, Cuckoo's Hive Mind ability doesnt specify that adjacent Cuckoos must be friendly, only that they be named Cuckoo to gained a bonus. So The MC'ed Cuckoo proceeded to gain a 3-point boost to damage from the temporarily enemy Cuckoo to hit Emma for 3 (He rolled Super Senses unfortunately), he then used the exploitation of the wording against me.

Enjoy the tip and using Mind Control to combat Cuckoo (Maybe even two of them at once) may be valid.

that is kinda sweet i guess

Great tip, but I was wondering:

The Cuckoos ability says that the +1 for every adjacent Cuckoo lasts until the end of the round; does that mean until the end of my turn?

Because if it doesn't then I would assume that they are beyond ridiculous.
Any and all help is appreciated.

This has been discussed at length in another thread. but sweet team dude

Cuckoo... makes me want chocolate cereal

Nope, round.

Player 1 can up Defense and it'd stick until next round. Unlucky for Player 2.

better home you go first though, because a round is 1st player then second player. if you're second player, then it ends at the end of your turn, if i'm not mistaken.

Just use Mastermind or any other 2 or 3 target Mind Controller fig..to mindcontrol them...2 is only 80 points and no feedback damage...easy to get all 3 or more under your control....then you have the last up their move and carry 1 more far far away from the other(s)and itno hindering terrain to boot.... and once separated they are little more than glorified generics....easy pickins!

wes

Also, your team would have been a "teen" theme too. I like it. :D

Not only "teens" but "blonde teen girls in tight outfits"
Of course, that is not an official keyword.
