I see Spartan has Stormwatch as a keyword, hope that means we will be getting stormwatch characters soon, even more so if they are the early members.

@Idea,

If EMP is hit with 4 damage with Exploit Weakness he would normally take 4 clicks of damage but his special Immortal power would only allow one 1 click of damage as when his dial is turned the power description instructs the player to stop turning the dial if the power is revealed in the slot. I hope that makes sense.

@phep: Trying to understand what you're saying so I'm going with an example. If Emp is on click 2 and an opposing character with 4 damage value and Exploit Weakness hits him, what click are you saying Emp would then be on?

Actually drummerman1126 after thinking about it again I think you're correct. Since Penetrating Damage isn't address in EMP's SP then Psychic Blast/Exploit Weakness should work as normal (I've been learning that rulings for things like this are determined by ommission by the Wizkids Arbitrators 99% of the time). However I think this power will still work against Pulse Wave(go figure???).

@drummerman1126,

I'm not so sure that's the case. pg.10 on rulebook for penetrating damage:

PENETRATING DAMAGE
Penetrating damage is damage dealt that can’t be reduced (such as by the Toughness power), but can be evaded, ignored, increased, or transferred to another character.

The main thing is that the damage can't be reduced with penetrating damage which I would agree if the last sentence in the EMP's SP didn't say this power cannot be ignored. So to me it seems EMP's SP might work against Exploit Weakness & Penetrating Damage (even Pulse Wave) IMO.

@phep: It can be Outwitted. (Outwit counters, it doesn't ignore anything.) That's going to be his Achilles' heel.

@phep,
No, EW and PB/P still go through the invul part of the power, because they deal penatrating damage (not the same as ignore). How ever the dial does still stop when the next click with it on is revealed. So yeah, still a pain to get rid of.

Yes!!! The rest of the 1st Gen WildC.A.T.s!!! But why the heck did they name Spartan "Spartan Warrior Spirit"???? Also concerning EMP's card on the Immortal special power. It says it can't be ignored(so I'm a$$suming that psychic blast/exploit weakness or SPs that ignore defensive powers doesn't affect it) but can it still be countered via Outwit?

@white phoenix,

At this point it is really hard to imagine a HeroClix fan opening a booster and exclaiming "Ooooh, BATMAN!"

At this point there are over 60 and counting, which means that even though there have been less DC sets than Marvel sets, there are STILL more Batmen than Spider-Man, Wolverine, etc. And now there will be more, to coincide with the new event.

I'm just glad they didn't do this with Superman and produce another OP group of DC clix

@Dane

I'm just insanely sick of Batman related things. Batman dark knight rises set, Batman set, Batman streets of gotham, Batman gotham city, Batman no man's land, etc. Is there no end?

@white phoenix of the crown
What are you talking about?

There are 2 words I don't ever want to see/hear again. 1. Bat 2.Man

Seriously glad to see a new Lady Shiva min, particularly one based off one of the Birds of Prey covers.

I'm impressed . . .(DEATHSTROKE)is dangerous on each and every click on his dial .
I need to get this fig.

Posted by: Gigantor on 11/3/2012 6:30:55 PM

There's an assassin keyword now? Interesting. All of the figures are pretty good IMO. Lady Shiva definiately got better.
