Starro: What did you play, how did it do?

[sordarial]

Batman
Abra Kadabra
Flash (Starro)
Bouncing Boy

wild-carding Batman TA = awesome!

I really tried making Bouncing Boy's Ricochet (or as i like to call it, his "boing") work, but his low attack makes it hard to pull off.

His low attack and the fact that you kept killing the people he could have bounced off of with someone else.

[LionKingXXVII]

I played a mean team today. I used Superman non-one million alongside Zatanna. I lost Zatanna in EVERY match but was able to pull off the wins with just Supes...he's pretty sick. I was glad I once again did not have to run into the other two meanies out there. (Another Supes and Amazo were flying around out there)

[DarkestThicket]

Common Batman ruled the roost again!!!
Starro Flash
Merlyn
Chronos
Swimming Willpower Pog
BFC: Shrunk

Hit and runs with the Flash, Poofing with Batman, 5 Range Merlyn and the pog killed two dudes in the game agains Ben, almost killed Myx but he critically fumbled himself to death.

[number6]

Well I pulled 2 of the common "poofing" Batman figures, and tested out the running theory that stealth in this set is really tough to beat.

Batman (Poofing)
Batman (Poofing)
Chronos (Daemon's insurance policy)
Flash (Starro)

297 pts.

3-0. Swept 2 matches, and only lost figures to Chet, and my nerve as he has stupid lucky dice "This is a long shot, I need a ten!" and guess what, he gets it every frickin time! But I digress.
The 2 sweeps were waiting games initially as they hid in the vault, until I started shooting it up to create more hindering terrain for the Batman...it was cruel and unusual punishment to go up against 2 of them and I won't be playing that figure again until the final Starro event.

Hey wait a minute you know you are pulling a Batman for the starro finals already I call shenanigans.

[number6]

The odds are better than me pulling a Guy Gardner .....oh wait

Very true. since you will get 2 commons most likey from each pack. I believe there are 16 commons so it is about a 25% chance slighly less actually because of the chance of getting dupe commons as well as the super rares taking up one of the common slots.

Well toss in the Batman and Robin Duo-Figure and you are closer to your 25%. That figure in itself is incredibly effective in this sealed format. Admitted not as brutal as 2 of the Poofing common Batman figures, but still deadly nonetheless.
Toss in the wildcards available and with any Batman TA figure you are very difficult to defeat. Albert's team that I went against was a prime example of how the Batman TA with any wildcard in this set is gross gross gross....
Batman (Poofing)
Dreamgirl
Lex Luthor
Some Pog

The pog was a liability as I could KO it and thus gain the win with 1 KO, but with points being a factor I needed to push it. Batman being major player I needed to get him first. Albert played well keeping them together as a group so if I made an attack on Batman Luthor with his 11 AV would retaliate....but he got unnerved by the Chronos hit and run Transporter attack (he got the SS roll though) so he split his forces to outwit Chornos' Prob and up Luthor's defense on the push.
Then it was a big hit and run dance, with the end result being I finally remembered that destroying an object made it dissappear as opposed to just turn into rubble (new rule). So he had his team on "islands" of objects to keep my batman figures from appearing next to his figures and laying waste. Well destroying the object solved that problem .
I go into a great explanation on this so that those who read will know a way to deal with Batman

I'd still prefer a Guy Gardner for the finale though...over the Starro....but I figure if I don't pull a Guy, I'd be happy with a shot at Starro with a batman pull so I could possibly win and trade for a Guy

Are you sure about the object being removed from the game it say that destroying objects is the same as destroying blocking and that blocking terrain turns into hindering terrain when destroyed. I am not sure that was ruled correctly.

[number6]

What you read is correct, I just read it myself. Although when I asked the judge, there was a gathering of players who also were in agreement. I do recall "hearing" about said ruling a while back.
Of course the WKs website is down so that precludes searching the judges forums until a later date

[Atomic Fire]

I played

Flash (Starro)
Hector Hammond
Zatanna
Firehawk

298 pts.

Went 1-2. It was sad. I couldn't roll to save my life except for the last match against Frank when i rolled 4 crit hits. 2 in the same turn. My one desparate move against Damon's Proofing Batmen was Hector perplexing Flash's damage, then Tk'ing him out of the vault so he can charge flurry Bats and roll a crit miss. Damon's like "oh, i didn't know Hector had tk. That was a surprise." And then the demoralizing began!!

I cried a bit on the inside. Ok maybe i shed one tear. Batman is mean!

Just an Fyi, Hector is actually a half decent piece if you have a taxi for him. Perplex, MC, TK, PB with 8 range all on his first click. Not bad. Firehawk is badass for her points too.

[sordarial]

Destroying Objects: Objects can be destroyed using the rules for destroying a square of blocking terrain.

Destroying Blocking Terrain: A square of blocking terrain can be destroyed by an attack that deals at least 3 damage in a single attack. [...] When a square of blocking terrain is destroyed, place a
debris terrain marker in the square.

So busting objects would leave debris. Only when an object is destroyed during an attack on a character is it removed from the game.

I played Hector this weekend and went 3-1. The guy was incredibly fun to play and decent - perplex, TK, MC, 8 range, 2 damage... not bad. Plus, it was fun to rock people with such a silly looking figure.

Thanks for the quote Pat I didn't have time to type it this am.

I played Hector on the weekend as well. I like him as well. The front loaded tk and psy blast with perplex is awesome.

[Atomic Fire]

So this is the last week before the big showdown for Starro. Anyone surprised by any figs this week? What did you use?

[radone]

I was quite suprised that Batman didn't win this week even though there were 4 of them out there (2 on one team). It was actually Lex who won it for me.

[Mysterious Stranger]

Lex is pretty damn awesome! I heard you had him with Gypsy, which was my pre-release combo of doom.

[rancidtwinkie]

Lex, Batman and Toyman made a brutal team.
