- You could field a team of exactly 6 clix
- All dials/sets eligible
- 600 points
- All clix with the Sinister Syndicate TA/keyword get a permanent +1 to their attack value

What would you come up with?

How about this?

ASM020 Rhino 128
WS054 Doctor Octopus 121
M10A018 Green Goblin 117
ASM030 Lizard 88
ASM031B Alyosha Kraven 70
ASM002 Shocker 65

589

I was trying to fit the Thunderbolts or Original Sinister Six ATA on there. Not a ton of range but they have that problem in general.

EDIT: Does it have to be 6 characters?

*HAS* to be six characters. You can have dupes, as long as you only have one each of any prime or unique dial.

I would play

m10 Green Goblin 117
asm Kraven the Hunter 95
asm Vulture 61
asm Mysterio 70
asm Rhino 128
asm Rhino 128
= 599

and go for an indoor map with lots of walls/blocking to get the most out of the Rhinos. If you need more Outwit, push Green Goblin and Kraven to their second click

I find your lack of Demogoblin disturbing.

What would your team of six look like? I really want to dig Demogoblin, but his AV is just too low to make his otherwise sweet trait and SPs come through. (His defense is even poorer, his range is short, and he could use some Willpower on his first clicks). The OP says that all characters with the Sinister Syndicate keyword and/or TA gets a +1 on AV, which could make me reconsider. This

Green Goblin 117 + Thunderbolts ATA 8 (Avengers Initiative)
Rhino 128 + Utility Belt (complete) 14
Vulture 61
Shocker 65
Demogoblin 85
Dr. Octopus 121
= 599

Shocker is Thunderbolts too. So with the ATA that would put you 7 points over.

Oh well. Then just use the belt with a single item

You can put an ata on one person...

Nope. When you add an ATA to your force all characters on the team with the keyword have to be assigned it.

Really?

So if the entire team shares the (for example) Intelligencia keyword, they all have to pay for it if one does?

That seems like the opposite of my understanding. I thought, if they all share the Intelligencia keyword, you can cherry-pick and have Red Hulk use the ATA and pay the cost, but skip everyone else.

Furthermore, if one of the characters on your team has the GLA keyword (that nobody else on your force has), can they utilize that ATA all by themselves?

Rules are confusing.

Nope. The new rules state everyone can have a keyword(I.e sinister syndicate) but you can pay for one person for a different ata. I.e green goblin and thunderbolts. You don't have to pay for both of them. That's what my venue judge said.

That's not a new rule it always worked like that. You could build a Sin 6 theme team and use the Thunderbolts ATA. The new rule is that ATAs can only be played on theme teams. But when you use an ATA on a team everyone with the Keyword that ATA is for has to be assigned the ATA. This is from the 2014 rule book:

I apologize, apparently I have been told differently. This means I lost some games to some people I shouldn't have...

Rep for the clarification.

Thanks for the information!
