Our friends at Dial H will present some awesome team-building ideas each week leading up to WizKids Worlds! Here is a note from them:

With HeroClix Worlds 2023 getting closer and new events like Theme and Pulp making their debut this year, we wanted to dive into some possible teams you might play or play against! Both formats allow for some new figures and teams to shine, as well as some classic HeroClix staples to continue their reign. Let’s dive in!

For more information on Theme, Pulp, and other HeroClix formats check out the article HERE.

Animals have made their splash in competitive play over the years, and the Theme format will be another opportunity for them to shine! With Ka-Zar and Lockjaw, you’ll be able to carry your team to exactly where they need to be on the map. Following up that massive movement, you’ll have opportunities to attack with Maggott’s generated bystanders and Spider-Hamurai. On the back end, Cosmo, Ch’p and prime High Evolutionary will help protect your figures and limit your opponent’s ability to strike back.

Tarot cards are a fun way to spice up your HeroClix game. Find out more about Tarot Cards in the Design Insights article HERE. When you are ready to take it to the next level, you can read more about harnessing the strategy of Tarot HERE.

The Sinister Syndicate is capable of much more than just squashing Spider-Man. First and foremost is Iron Spider, who grants most of the team SAFEGUARD: Outwit, while also being one of the primary attackers on the team. In addition, Doctor Octopus will also give those same characters the Masters of Evil team ability while providing four additional bystanders to make attacks. The Team Up card that Ghost Goblin uses will give friendly characters using the Sinister Syndicate team ability a +1 attack when they use it. This culminates in a lot of negatives to opposing defense while ensuring friendlies will often have at minimum a 12 attack. To round out the team, you have the world class taxi Overdrive who provides an Empower, and Kingpin who has a crucial Outwit. Kingpin also allows all friendlies within 6 squares to consider themselves adjacent for the purpose of using the Sinister Syndicate team ability!

Tarot Spotlight: Nine of Wands
Every team needs strong supporters, and the Nine of Wands allows them to give your attackers an additional boost to both damage AND attack. Paired with the Sinister Syndicate team ability that also enhances a character’s attack, your team will be unstoppable!

The Titans have great synergy thanks to Jinx, Batgirl, and Power Girl being able to share Mystics, Batman Ally, and Superman Ally team abilities. This team also offers great mobility via Raven and Beast Boy, allowing you to get into position and drop the team into some hindering. The main attackers of this force are Cyborg with Pulse Wave, and Power Girl who is a great close combat beat stick. Mas is also a great character to carry, giving out bonus damage up close with Empower!

The goal of this team is to get the first hit in. To do so, this team needs to mobilize and start attacking. Deadpool is the main taxi, as he can copy the Green Lantern Team Ability from Teen Lantern to carry up to eight people. Tempo also grants Deadpool +3 speed, allowing him to move up to 13 squares! After carrying up the force, Red Ghost and Deadpool can generate their bystanders as FREE, with Dr Alia Gregor giving them all +1 stats. This team also features Ant-Man and The Brain who can be given a costed action after being carried. Marvella and Moloid round out the build giving out access to two Empowers, allowing for some huge swings after a massive move.
