Today's review is
Darkseid from Crisis
Well, the old on was
bit of a bruiser in his day, and everyone loved the
Icons E and V, so we have a new greatest evil in the
universe. Can he stand up?
He is a veteran(rare),
210 points, 12 range 1 target, 10 clicks of life, a
flier, no team
Attack:
Omega Effect: before making a ranged combat attack,
he can : half the range and ignore characters and
hindering, reduce damage by 2 and have it
penetrating, or 0 damage and put piece in any space
where darkseid has clear LOF
Defense:
All Will Serve Darkseid: Darkseid can use Invuln,
Mastermind, and Willpower
Damage:
Master Strategist: Darkseid can use outwit and
perplex
Speed: Not very mobile, but phasing gets him
where he needs do go
Attack: Never goes below nine, psy blast is
always welcome, and I like the first 2 powers of
omega effect, the third one will work better in big
games when you have more pieces on your team that
can take advantage of the repositioning
Defense: High, with lots of damage
reducers. I like the fact he can have invuln,
willpwer, and mastermind, makes him pretty much
immune to any situation if you have someone next to
him
Damage: Outwit and perplex at same time is
always welcome, and more outwit works too
The Good: Big, consistent attack
Lots of damage
Lots of outwit
and some perplex
Lots of cool
combos can be pulled off
Extremely hard
to take down
12 range
The Bad: Not mobile
Outwit still
hurts him badly
Takes up 2/3 of
team in tourny
Feats: Fortitube might be a must, shellhead
and protected work good too
Overall: Wow, what a beast of a
character. I will say it right now, I like him a
lot more than Black Adam, even with the grievous
lack of movement powers. His attack is higher
overall, the damage is higher, he has more useful
powers all over the dial, and is just a monster with
that 12 range. Also, thanks to OE, he can ignore
stealth up to 6 range, which is already awesome.
Also, he can get those assured 2-3 damage hits in on
to your enemies imperv-heavy pieces. I like him a
lot and think he might be the best version of
Darkseid we had yet (sorry Icons). In a 300 point
tourney, he is risky, but a skilled player could
make him work. He is a shining star in bigger games
though, and can easily have a team made around him
400 points and up.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 3.5 / 5
Sealed/Draft: 4 / 5
Overall: 3.5 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re
cool, addictive, and available….the things
practically sell themselves.”
