Today's review is Terrax the Tamer from Avengers

 

I’m not sure who he is, don’t really care, you know where to go.

 

He is Unique, 218 points, 8 range 1 target, 10 clicks of life, a flier, no AE, and Power Cosmic

Speed:   Not great, but mid-dial charge could be a nice surprise to opponents

Attack:  High, pulls an Orion with the 12 at the end, Powers work with movement cept for the RS/BCF

Defense:  Standard numbers, mid dial upswing, lots of damage reducers, and high at end.  I think we all know how well a 17 defense works late dial for V Steel


Damage:  Far too many 3’s for my taste, not good for nanobots, but the Exploit Weakness comes when you need it

 
The Good:  8 range

      High attack

      Good power combinations

      Long dial with lots of damage reduction

      10 clicks

     

The Bad:  Doesn’t do a lot of damage

                Relies too much on Luck to do damage (BCF)

                Doesn’t take advantage of range

                Some movement, but really not that much

                Can’t see him doing too much in a game


Feats:  Protected, Shellhead, and Nanobots


Overall:  Alright, what I see here is a piece that could completely dominate Bizarro world games, but might be too much of a liability in a standard game.  For the points, you NEED to be able to do more than 3 damage, and not rely on BCF to get the job done.  Remember why noone really plays the 160 point Xplosion Unique?  Sure, he is not as bad as her, but he really isn’t that good either.  If used right, he could do some good for your team, but I just don’t like him.

Constructed/Unrestricted:    2.5 /  5

Sealed/Draft:    3 / 5 (Crazy high attack numbers if used in CoG)

 

Overall:    2.5 /  5

LE Terrax the Tamer
wing speed
218 points
Team: Power Cosmic
Keywords: Heralds, Ruler
Range: 8 x 1

DIAL:
http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=11483&unitid=13268&universeid=4

ANALYSIS:
With Charge, Super Strength and Exploit Weakness to start, he's best in close, especially with Power Cosmic and Impervious to help him shrug off retaliation. And also because his lone click of Running Shot is buried on click #2. Having so much Blades with 3 damage makes him a bit of a paradox, though, not being able to reliably deal high damage for his cost and yet one doesn't relish the thought of rolling a 1 or 2.

His mid-life Charge and Defense Value spike are welcome, as is the return of EW. But watch out for the remaining clicks, stuck as they are with first low numbers and Battle Fury, and then much better stats but defensively soft Barrier.

FEATS?
I like REPULSOR SHIELD on him as he needs his reducers to live. But frankly, he's expensive enough without it.

IN SUM:
He's not bad. Damage values are a bit low, but he has the potential to deal a lot more that those numbers on every click. And with Power Cosmic, he can do it pretty often.

RATING: 3 of 5
