Greetings HeroClix Masterminds!<\/p>\n
With just two weeks until Gen Con, we\u2019ve started to see local stores experimenting with Pulp and top players testing teams out! Two larger events were held recently, at Sci Fi Factory in Texas and Highlander Games in New Jersey. We saw a great variety of teams and strategies, and we\u2019re highlighting the top eight teams of each event below!<\/p>\n
First off, congratulations to the winners of these events, Kenny Minks and Isaac Arnold-Berkovits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Sci Fi Factory \u2013 6\/24 \u2013 31 Players<\/strong><\/p>\n Both teams in the finals of the Sci Fi Factory event utilize Avengers 60th<\/sup> Anniversary Falcon, but to very different ends.<\/p>\n The top team at Sci Fi Factory was an aggressive build piloted by Kenny Minks. With Falcon for positioning, Deathstroke can be deployed wherever the Pulse Wave from his Sonic Burst Katanas can do the most damage. Mary Jane Watson can keep the opponent\u2019s team tied down with Paparazzi, while Dr. Psycho both disrupts the enemy\u2019s positioning with Mind Control and gives out action tokens to slow their response.<\/p>\n No doubt David Way\u2019s second place team gave it a run for its money, though. Also using Falcon\u2019s spectacular placement ability, David\u2019s team can deploy Hulk deep into the map to deliver tremendous damage. The team also has fantastic repositioning potential, with every figure other than Hulk able to use Telekinesis or Carry. Manifold and Teen Lantern can protect the team while it gets into position to deliver the most devastating Hulk smash it can.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t had the chance to brew your very own Pulp team yet, perhaps the biggest takeaway from viewing these teams is that this metagame can be a bit like real estate: location, location, location!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
