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:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re kicking off week four of our article series with a look at some crazy constructs, both from Lanterns and the Danger Room! We also can\u2019t wait to see all of you at Gen Con and HeroClix Worlds this year. All three members of Dial H will be in attendance for both, so make sure to stop by and say hello!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>

The Danger Room Constructs from X-Men The Animated Series<\/em> are back, and may be badder than ever! This team features all three Constructs from the set, all with different roles to make your opponent struggle to score points with their Danger Room Construct traits. Magneto<\/strong> equipped with the Exospex<\/strong> will serve as a massive ranged-combat threat, while Sabretooth<\/strong> can get in close to tie up your opponent and Flurry. Following up is Mister Sinister<\/strong>, who will accompany either of them as great support with Poison and Outwit. Next on the build is Ultron Pym<\/strong>, who may be one of the strongest figures in the format. With the trait Galactic Genocide in the Name of the Avengers<\/em>, he\u2019ll be dealing one unavoidable damage for each use of opposing Probability Control. To finish up the build, there\u2019s Master Mold<\/strong> and Mad Thinker<\/strong> to offer help via Leadership, Perplex and some awesome generated Sentinels. \u201cI had strings, but now I\u2019m free\u2026\u201d. The Age of Ultron reigns once more!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/u><\/strong>The homefield advantage can make all the difference! On the Doom Castle map, Reign of Terror <\/em>will allow you to choose a friendly character at the beginning of the game. Once per turn, when that character rolls for Leadership you may reroll the result. If that character is named Dr. Doom, they increase their roll for Leadership by +1. It’s a great way to keep your team ready for action!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Theme – HERALD Brightest Day<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

Rings and bearers and Heralds, oh my! This theme focuses on doing as much damage with Guy Gardner<\/strong>\u2019s special attack ability, Six Against One<\/em>, as possible. With Guy dealing an additional +1 damage for each character adjacent to his use of Quake, getting as many people as possible close to him can spell out some serious wreckage. To do so, we have Stardust<\/strong> equipped with the Angler<\/strong>, who can POWER action Pulse Wave from a target square in range. After resolutions, she can then place all hit characters adjacent to the target square, creating a perfect opportunity for Guy to Charge in. Behind these heavy hitters there\u2019s Saint Walker<\/strong>, Ch\u2019p<\/strong> and Star Sapphire<\/strong>, who can help get our guys into position via Telekinesis. They also serve as excellent utility and follow up damage with their ability to generate constructs. Uatu<\/strong> and KC Green Lantern<\/strong> finish out the build, providing access to Leadership and the ever useful Probability Control. Oh, and don\u2019t forget about Destroyer<\/strong> on the sideline. He can be a massive tool for flipping games and catching your opponent off guard when an equipped character makes an attack. Just make sure you remember to roll for it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pulp – Mystics Were Made<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

Rather than relying on Barrier or high defense, this defensive build actively punishes your opponent for attacking and minimizes how much damage most of the figures take. Starting with the Danger Room Constructs, we can lock down larger threats with Mystique<\/strong> or destroy blocking and bring the fight to them with Juggernaut<\/strong>, as well as \u2018activate\u2019 their full damage potential with Apocalypse<\/strong> by adding Error tokens when needed. Taking a max of one damage from attacks isn\u2019t enough though, so gaining the Mystics team ability from Strife<\/strong> will help even the odds for this force. Fred<\/strong> fills multiple roles by being the taxi, defender, and Leadership for the team. Mary Jane Watson<\/strong> assists in locking down opposing figures as well as bringing in one of her Secret Identities upon KO. Lastly, Franklin Richards<\/strong> has an impressively long dial and can either take shots from range or get in close and benefit from the double Empower that Moloid<\/strong> and Juggernaut<\/strong> provide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pulp – Super Soldier Secret Invasion<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

Kicking us off are the Skrull Fantastic… 3? Sadly, Sue isn\u2019t a Soldier so she had to sit this one out. Thing<\/strong> and Human Torch<\/strong> can still get the job done, though, with their impressive 11 attack and four damage from both close and range respectively. Skrull General<\/strong> also gives them access to the Underworld team ability, letting them carry other members of the force for Empower or Enhancement! Also joining the fight is Captain America<\/strong>, who can be a great secondary attacker and positioning piece with his 12 movement. With his flight, he can bring up characters like Flash Thompson<\/strong> to strip opposing figures of Shape Change and tie them down with Plasticity and Poison. He\u2019s also autonomous, so you don\u2019t need to worry about him eating away actions from your team. Blue Marvel<\/strong> also makes this build as one of the best ranged attackers in Pulp, bringing a solid Pulse Wave while also being difficult to KO. Lastly, Red Guardian<\/strong> adds some great survivability to the team with his defense power, Energy Repellence<\/em>, giving you the ability to ignore an attack against himself or an adjacent friendly character once per game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
