Hello all,

I have a tourney coming up in a few weeks the build restrictions are Marvel 600pts and no figure under 90pts. And no Sentinels.

I don't normally play battles this big. Can anyone suggest some army building strategy? I figure I will be running a Mandarin of some level since he has the vaunted Outwit on his first click but I can't come up with anything past that.

I would say veteren hulk maybe, V thing or a iron man might work I would in a veteren abomination for 103 he isnt bad he can nearly kill a veteren hulk the only bad thing about this is no medics if only the point value of 90 went to 80 so u could have V beast

v she hulk would be a good pice to use or Vission i sem to do good with those 2 pices mybe the'll help you.

Option 1
V Mandarin 144
V Abomination 100
V Annihilus 129
V Magneto 103
E Blastaar 117
Total 598

Option 2
V Mandarin 144
V Abomination 100
V Magneto 103
U Super Skrull 127
E Blastaar 117
Total 599

Both teams benefit from high mobility between running shot and TK, which can be a huge boost. All the ranged characters have at least an 8 range and do natural damage, making them less susceptable to outwit.

The first team has more running shot via Annihilus, but he has a relative glass jaw in comparison to Super Skrull. Team 2, vice versa, is a little less mobile, but gains quite a bit in diversity with the mix that Super Skrull brings to the table.

With either team, start off by TKing abomination into the fray and let him lay in some licks, then have Super Skrull/Annihilus attack with Mandarin in tow for some outwit. Have blastaar pick at any weaker characters, but try to hold him in reserve until later in the game when his high defense mid-dial will be really hard to hit.

Make sure to keep Blastaar in reserve a bit and to use Mandarin's 12 range to his advantage. Keep him out of your enemy's range and have him mind control people into a setup for abomination and the others.

Thanks for the help. I think I will run a Rookie Thor and a Super Skrull since they go from Running Shot to Beatstick. And have that natural damage to avoid being Outwitted. I think if I go with a TK'er I might consider Quasar since he has the TK but he also can throw a barrier up and protect me beaters from being outwitted or running shot.

R Thor's range is only 6, and his damage drops pretty quickly. You can get a lot more for your points than him.
