Combating Super Skrull
Once you get past Super Skrull’s Shape Change and Team ability, landing a hit shouldn’t be to hard to accomplish. Since his powers make him a difficult target for ranged attacks, go for the close combat attack as soon as possible. It’s probably a good idea to base him with a character that has a damage reducing power. This way you avoid taking poison damage on the next turn if you missed the attack. Since his first clix is arguably his best clix, once you land a hit he’ll be a little easier to deal with.

If you have a character that can use Probability Control handy, make sure you position them in a place to support your attacker should they miss. The last thing you want to do is keep giving Super Skrull the opportunity to make use of his Shape changing abilities.

Feat Suggestions
If you are playing in a format that allows feat card, here are some suggestions:

Since Super Skrull starts off with the Shape Change power, the Camouflage feat is a natural choice. For a cost of just (8) points, this feat will ensure super Skrull is safe from attacks or powers that require a line of fire, as long as you place him adjacent to walls or blocking terrain.

Another low cost option I like is the Alias feat. For just (3) points, this feat will give Super Skrull the ability to use Shape Change when he is on those clix that do not already have that power. Just remember it’s a one and done option.

Got (5) points left over? Sometimes pushing is necessary. The Endurance feat will allow Super Skrull to avoid taking pushing damage for a turn, or even multiple turns. Be sure and use this when the timing is right but keep in mind, the more you use this feat the more you may pay for it later.

Conclusion
At 100 points Super Skrull is a little costly, but thanks to his combination of team ability and special powers, I think he is still a respectable option. He will probably work best as a secondary attacker and harassment piece. Just be sure to have a primary attacker for him to work with when building your team.

That’s all I got for now fellow gamers. See you soon with another Slade Files!
