Okay if you have improved ignore characters or phasing/teleport. If you start based to character, you do not have to break away correct? I'm thinking this is correct.

Now Plasticity

So would plasticity not counter both auto break aways and people in the process of moving, even if they are using phasing/teleport or HSS?

I know this has been answered before but yesterday there was literally a back and forth of rulings on this. Very confusing.

It's not breaking away, it is acting as though the character isn't even there. So breaking away involved

The new wording of Teleport gives the character Improvement Movement; so you're basically dealing with IM: Ignores Characters versus Plasticity.

I've seen it ruled that IM trumps this because the character with Plasticity is being ignored so its powers are not relevant.

Hypersonic speed is different though, it does not ignore characters so it would be at Plasticity's mercy, i would think.

So another reason ZSS is impossible... got it.

I had murmur on my team to try to lock him down but he can avoid that too... smh.

Pro Tip: Counter Improved Movement to prevent automatic breakaway.

Yep, something most folks don't know you can counter

I actually was thinking that was the only way to stop it, so to really lock it down you need plasticity and outwit. Man there is too much to try to build against that team, I think I'm just going to forget it and count fighting him as a loss. If I build for it I'm going to screw myself over against other teams.

Movie groot, is an excellent choice. Plasticity outwit and opponent 2 squares out must break away, though a bit pricey.

But that doesn't help against Zombie Super-Skrull right? Which I think is what the OP is going for...

How do you mean?

we were saying that that's the only thing that would work.

even then he could still pick Plasticity or HSS himself to get away.

White witch and turtle.

White witch for the Free action power?

He doesn't possess IM. So you can't Outwit it.
So we're in agreement that Outwit doesn't help you to lock him down? Because I agree Outwit doesn't help you to lock him down.
White Witch Yes. Turtle not so much usually....

Yes, in No Tactics she's the best Anti-ZSS/Engineer figure out there (unless you count the Brute Force of Justice League Team Base). In Tactics GL Power Battery is better.
