Hypersonic HeroClix Reviews: GrootI AM GROOT
Unlike Gamora who I didn't think was worth the extra 25 points, Groot absolutely has to be played at 100 points. He only gets one extra click of life instead of Gamora's two but it's a good one. Wooden Cocoon with Defend and the ability to give adjacent friendlies like Rocket Raccoon toughness are worth the 25 points. Despite what you might think, Groot is a secondary attacker and more of a "Rocket Raccoon delivery system."

Continued below...


Groot HeroClix dial

He's going to deal out a mountain of damage but I think Drax is the real bruiser for the GotG movie starter set. Groot is going to be the figure that everyone focuses on rather than blasting Rocket Raccoon (who will go about his business with Outwit and blasting your brains out). My biggest problem with Groot is that he doesn't have any late-dial Regeneration which seems to be an oversight.

Your Comments:
@Superfriend: That you for the information. I actually stopped posting "delayed product" news a long time ago because HeroClix release dates are always delayed. ALWAYS.

If I posted info on HeroClix product delays, there would literally be a new posting every week.

@LE
Not sure where to put this, but the heroclix . com page says that the comic set of Guardians of the Galaxy 5 pack boosters may be delayed / allocated for stores in the Mid West by a few days and East Coast by as much as a week.

[Some Alliance Midwest stores may experience a 2-3 day delay in receiving their Marvel HeroClix: Guardians of the Galaxy booster brick orders. Stores that have release events scheduled Wednesday - Friday (13-15 August) should consider re-scheduling to accommodate this delay.
Some Alliance East stores may find their initial Marvel HeroClix: Guardians of the Galaxy booster brick orders allocated. PLEASE NOTE: the rest of your order will be shipped to you as soon as the next wave of product arrives at Alliance East. (which we expect to arrive a 7-10 days after initial release)]

I have this set on order and am looking forward to it. The FF sets I agree have been pretty solid so far and I like getting all my character must-owns in one go with no randomness.

Nice reviews overall so my thanks to the good doctor. I missed the A- / B+ scores though that we usually get for the hypersonic reviews.

Star Lord's Hadron Enforcer lets you use Pulse Wave. One tactic I saw used was place the hadron enforcer, use running shot to get away and then do the pulse wave.

Good catch guys, especially on the free action! This is totally an editing issue on my part.

The Guardians of the Galaxa ATA on page 6 used to be 5 points -- that image you are seeing came directly from the Wizkids site. I am unsure exactly when they reduced it to 4 points, but clearly I need to update the HeroClix World files.

Thanks again!

There are a lot of errors in this review. As pseudokinetic said, you can't PW as a free action. Additionally for Star-Lord you can't push and perplex up your damage on the second turn. You don't take the push until after you already have the second token.

Rocket and Ronan ignore all characters for targeting, not just opposing.

The GotG ATA that says their powers can't be countered costs 4 points, not 5. Additionally their other wildcard ATA is practically useless since you can only use it on themed teams now. You would have a team of no team abilities and all wildcards.

I disagree with some of the strategies involved, but that's just opinion I wanted to correct some of the actual mistakes.

but the hadron enforcer doesn't give the use of the pulsewave as a free action.. just the choosing of the square. you'd have to wait to clear in order to pulse
