Playing Ultron
Ata cost of174 points Ultron is probably going to be your primarily attacker. His 12 range and Indomitable should give him a good chance to get the first hit in. So place him carefully on the first turn and be prepared to start the ball on the next turn. I personally like the idea of him carrying a minion of some sort, landing on an object to increase his defense (against ranged attacks) and dropping the minion in front of him. On the next turn move the minion out of the way and fire away with the 12 range, or pick up the object and charge an opponent if they wandered into charge range.

Editor's Note: Ultron has Pulse Wave, not Super Strength, but the strategy is still sound. We recommend using Pulse Wave for your attack: if your minion can run away before doing so, then great, but there's no shame in letting your minion take "collateral damage" from Pulse Wave. Sacrifice is what Minions live for...

Combating Ultron
Ok so how do you battle Ultron? Tie him up quick! Use a figure or figures who you don’t mind sacrificing to get in his face. This will keep that long range of his from being an issue. Then position your attacker to move in and do some damage on the next turn. Outwit will be useful as long as Ultron is not using the fortitude feat. Psychic blast is always good against impervious foes. Pulse wave is another way to bypass the impervious if you can pull it off.

Feats
Let’s look at some feat choices forUltron. The first one I think of when using Ultron is Automatic Regeneration. This Feat will allow Ultron to take advantage of those regeneration clix if he is nearing defeat. Again with indomitable if he fails the automatic roll then try for another with a power action. Protected is always a choice for indomitable characters to consider as it can turn big damage into no damage at all. Rather than the pricey fortitude feat for Ultron I like the Outsmart feat. Since he has both outwit and Mastermind this can be just as effective for more than ½ the cost of playing Fortitude.

Team Building
Ultron is playable in 300 point games. However games of 400 points or more is where Ultron is really going to be tough to deal with. The robot keyword lends itself to some great theme teams for Ultron. Or the Masters of Evil are another fun choice. Be sure to bring the right support like probability control, and master mind fodder and Ultron will shine in your games.

Final assessment
At under 200 points Ultron is a beast and worth every point ---in a skilful player's hands he can be downright nasty. Playable in 300 point games, but in 400+ point games watch out, he is truly evil.
