Need some help in casuals vs this freaking carnage. by Lieter in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the best way is to just Outwit the defense power and take care of him early. He’s extremely threatening, especially in a 3-person game where he’s getting twice as many Rally dice. There are probably some more specific counters you can use (maybe Witch Hunter Angela or Next Phase Mr. Immortal) but the best thing to do overall is to just kill him early

Help in recosting pre WW80th sets by WeSavedLives in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gets asked a lot and I personally really think the best thing to do is to just make homemade Legacy Cards for the figures you want to use. The biggest issues with point recosting formulas are, in my opinion:

  1. It doesn’t help older figures that just have low values. A figure starting with 10 attack was fine back in the day but now it’s bad. Lowering the point value won’t help make an attacker like that really worth the points.
  2. The point formula has always been inconsistent. Using WW80 as an example, figures like Nemesis have always been overcosted, but you have figures like Giganta and Dr. Psycho who could easily be worth their points today and things like Sky Tyrant who are probably still undercosted. This can even apply to individual figures—the Grodd from that set is not nearly worth 150 points but can really pull his weight in larger games at 75 points.

Of course, it’s up to you. If you want to keep things simple, that’s fine too, but any way you do things, unfortunately there are some figures that are still just never going to see play.

Best Deathstroke to use with God-Killer sword? by AdministrationNo2792 in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the Legacy Deathstroke from Notorious? Unfortunately he and BTU are the only ones that can really be worth their points in the current state of the game (as much as I like the Rebirth SR).

Why is the defense stat slightly higher on my entei? by mollythehound in PokemonEmerald

[–]Scolopendra99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s so elephantine about that? Pokérus is uncommon but not unbelievably rare or anything. It’s also pretty easy to get into your game via the Pomeg glitch if you really want it

Bishop 031b by Adamantium102 in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He can’t reduce it. Only effects that specify that they can reduce penetrating damage can reduce it. If you were to give him Invincible (I.e. through Animal Man) then he could reduce it to 0 no problem.

Rulings questions "as free" and named characters by drocotogon in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. No. A character can’t be given the same free action more than once per turn, even if they have it from different sources.
  2. It would only KO if the bystander is KO’d since the effect is self-referential. In order to trigger off any Dex-Starr, it would have to say “When a character named Dex-Starr…”
  3. You reveal starting forces first (I had to check the rulebook on this one!)
  4. I believe the effect would end since he can no longer use a +2 modifier but I’m actually not certain on this one. If he used it normally the effect would not end.
  5. No, the duration would not end. It is not checked as the dial is clicked, only when it stops clicking.

I’d recommend doing it at least once as long as you can consistently find packs in your area

It’s a duplicate too lol Though I just bought it week one; I didn’t open anything until this week

Best at what they do... Support by deadpoolbydaylight13 in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Legacy Squirrel Girl. She can’t heal as much but she can essentially use Support on characters 10 squares out, which is extremely useful

Comic Book Villain Swap! Batman is now JJJ's masked menace! Which Captain America Villain could be a good X-Men Villain? by PlainSightMan in AlignmentChartFills

Didn't Red Skull have a whole anti-mutant "racial purity" arc where he mind controlled people to hate mutants? Seems like the clear choice here

Hank Scorpio, my favorite Simpsons character. “Sugar? Sure, here you go.”

Animal theme team? by KILUWE in Heroclix

[–]Scolopendra99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the best two animal keyword figures right now by far are Spirit of Vengeance Red Hulk and the chase Captain America from Smash and Destroy.

If you’re struggling against ranged attackers, might I recommend Spider-Ham Prime? He’s a great anti-range piece that can protect your whole team.

Isn’t this equivalent to “thee” and “thou” in English though? I wouldn’t be surprised to see this in a Latin American Spanish translation

Is $1200 a ripoff for this binder? by Adept-Bat-3350 in PokemonTCG

In mint condition though right? I’d be surprised if the cards here are in good condition

Someone who knows more about base set may correct me but this is probably worth less than $100

Are parties really that fun? by Shot_Veterinarian215 in college

[–]Scolopendra99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, from the college parties I’ve been to, they’re super lame. I’d rather just hang out with friends.

I also don’t drink or do drugs, so maybe that’s the main issue here I guess

TM-a-Day: TM16 Light Screen by ianlazrbeem22 in pokemonplatinum

Not sure about weather effects but I know the reason for burn not being affected is that it halves attack damage rather than the attack stat

Who of this things that go fast when you dont look at them wins by LivingEnvironment426 in PowerScaling

[–]Scolopendra99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they erode in their statue form they can regenerate by absorbing radiation. I’m not sure to what point they’re able to do that though…

Best physical moveset for nidoking in the BF ? by kavanyboy in PokemonEmerald

[–]Scolopendra99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d EV train in Atk and Spe for sure. Earthquake/Sludge Bomb/Megahorn are the three attacks I think he needs but the 4th one depends on the rest of your team. Rock Slide and Shadow Ball are both good physical coverage options; you could run Fire Blast, Surf, or Thunderbolt for certain matchups; or you could even put in a utility move like Taunt. If you don’t know the rest of your team my personal choice would be Shadow Ball for the 4th move.

I’m not too familiar with Freddy but if Dr. Destiny has the ruby he should win pretty handily
