Combat Action<\/strong>: attack an opposing character with a close combat or ranged combat attack<\/p>\n\n- When your character makes an attack, you roll two dice and add the result to your attack value.

A character has five combat values:<\/p>\n
\n- The Speed Value<\/strong>– this is indicated by the boot for walking characters or the wing for flying characters. It tells us how many squares a character can move during a turn on the HeroClix map.\n
\n- Characters that can fly can move through hindering terrain, over blocking terrain and onto elevated terrain without penalty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The Attack Value<\/strong>– this is indicated by the fist symbol or the sharp shooter symbol. This shows how skilled characters are at combat attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Range Value<\/strong>– this indicates whether your character can make a range combat attack or not. \u00a0Characters that only fight hand to hand, have a range of zero but if your character\u2019s range is greater than zero, this shows the number of squares away that a character can make an attack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The Defense Value<\/strong>– this is indicated by one of two shield symbols. This shows how well your character can protect itself from attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
