Tye

Run down:

Ultimate Storm is a carry-able, long ranged, second-string attacker. With a cost toping at 52, she uses Energy Explosion and Ranged Combat Expert to bring her enemies down. Unfortunately Storm’s stats are even lower than her popularly played Xplosion Counterpart. The two vary drastically. For instance the Veteran Xplosion storm has higher statistics when it comes to range and attack, can fly, and has a good mix of offensive and defensive abilities such as Energy Explosion and Energy Shield/Deflection, while Ultimate storm lacks in defensive abilities and statistics. This is especially derogatory when you consider that Xplsoion Storm’s stats were whittled to the bone of playability, except for range.

 

Combo:

[None]

 

Pro:

Good range

Good offensive abilities [RCE and energy explosion]

Ultimate X-men TA

Able to be carried

 

Con:

Shallow dial

Low Stats [atk &def]

Not Hale Barry

Not flying

Lacks abilities/stats that Xplosion storm had

 

 

Rating in a scale of 1-5 [in bold]

 

1.) Broken

2.) Playable

3.) Okay

4.) Not worth using

5.) Good luck champ

 

Final Verdict: Ultimate Storm pales in comparison to her Xplosion counter part, though she has decent abilities, somewhat low cost, and long range, her low attack, low defense, and shallow dial [6], plus the inability to fly makes her a weak figure to use, though there are certainly worst figures in the game, ultimate Storm is still not worth using unless in certain draft tournaments.

 
Majinxstar Ugh Ultimate Storm... It is a real shame they are retireing Xplosion too. Luckily we get to keep that Storm because Ultimate Storm yeesh. She does what the normal one does, but a lot worse. She has no ESD and horrible attack values. Her vet even costs more than the Xplosion Vet. If you want to run a Storm then run the Xplosion/Universe one. If you pull the Ultimate one see if you can trade her to somebody for the Xplosion one. Somebody that is really dumb or wants to complete the set of Ultimates. Move on I'm done and I'm physically ill now because I had to talk about Ultimate Storm.
 
Necro-M Ultimates Storm b review by Necro-M

I'm a little biased on this figure since it is storm.
The ole goddess of the wind and lightning really did a number on my Brotherhood team in a theme match. She has energy explosion all the way down the dial. But she also has decent damage with expert range combat.
The rookie is an amazingly cheap 6. The fact she can't fly doesn't really bother me as much as the last of distance on that range. She has no defense really and only 7 movement so you'll have to employee swarm techniques to keep her alive. If she does manage to survive and rolls a critical on multiple adjacent opposing figures (what happened to me) you'll really see her worth. Otherwise I'd recommend a LE T.O.
Morrow. The experienced version get flying and 2 extra movement but that's not really going to change her strategy. She can now carry another figure for cover however. Is it worth those 14 points? Probably not. If you want a taxi get a real taxi (Shadowcat's my favorite). If you want a real ranger, get a real
ranger (like Bullseye, etc..). At 56 points, the
veteran is not worth the points at all. A meager 9 attack, 2 damage with ERC, and 15 defense with no power are all signs that this is a figure for collectors only.

Rating 3/10

Wow the figures sort of sucked this week. I guess they're all in good fun however.
 

 

Without Victory, there is no survival...
