ok im planning on using the dark knight rises set scarecrow, but im having trouble working out his shortcomings. he has a terrible defense so i either need defend or some perplex's. i was gonna use him in a 300 pt team.
tht looked like this
scarecrow 85 pts
ra's al ghul 60 pts
alfred pennyworth 55 pts
steel 100 pts

the idea is steel taxi's scarecow around making use of his outwit that goes through stealth. ra's is support later if and when scarecrow hits his shapechange clicks 'ra's can use his interpose trait and borrow scarecrow his av. alfred helps with defend boosting tht low defense stat and bringing perplex and support if needed. i think it works good on paper. but i wouldn't mind going back to the drawing board and theming it scientist

i just really want to use this scarecrow and do well with him but getting tpund the dials short comings is really taxing.

didn't do as well as i'd have hoped with this set up. spent more time healing with alfred than anything? i won but i lost scarecrow having only mind controlled one piece. seems to me the gimmick is nice but the implications of putting a weak figure next to much stronger pieces just to poison then mind control them is hard to put in to practice. ive revised.

it's now
scarecrow 85
cosmic boy 70
alfred 55
talia 88

i think taxi'ing scarecrow round was abit arduous maybe abit of tk will turn it around and he'll actually be useful.

Well, Scarecrow is fun, but if I might suggest, it seems he might work better in a golden age setting. Give him armor piercing so that poison lands everytime and keep him moving with a carrier, like Abin Sur, who can carry up to 8 people at a time.

I mean, I once played against a guy who locked down my team with Unspoken and Leland and then used Abin sur to carry everyone around while he had Jinku and a poison piece running around and just killing me, while I was completely helpless.
In a 300 pt setting, to me anyways, it seems like its hard to work around Scarecrow. I'm glad you won though.
