<\/a><\/p>\nHydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0is a Rare Prime HeroClix\u00a0that can be added to your force by paying either 60 or 100 points.\u00a0 By using his 60-point version, he starts the game on click 3.\u00a0\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0has the Frightful Four, Masters of Evil and Sinister Syndicate keywords as options if you wish to include him on a themed team.\u00a0\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0also has the Masters of Evil and Sinister Syndicate printed team abilities, meaning you can still take actions even when he already has two action tokens (but he\u2019ll be dealt one unavoidable damage after the action resolves) and he can share his unmodified attack value with another teammate who also has the Sinister Syndicate team ability. \u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0has the standard attack, defense, and damage combat symbols, and the Swimmer speed symbol to ignore water terrain when he moves.\u00a0\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0is built for close attacks and has several standard powers including\u00a0Charge<\/em>,\u00a0Quake<\/em>, and\u00a0Close Combat Expert<\/em>, reflecting his combat style.<\/p>\nTo represent\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u2019s water-based powers, he hits the battlefield with three traits.\u00a0 The first trait,\u00a0Drown You on Dry Land<\/em>, lets you place the Submerged marker (the Water ClixFX Base he comes with!) on an adjacent opposing character.\u00a0 A character with the Submerged marker attached can\u2019t be placed, must break away before moving, and can\u2019t break away automatically.\u00a0 Additionally, characters who fail to break away are dealt 1 penetrating damage.\u00a0 The next trait,\u00a0Water Sustains Me<\/em>, allows\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0to take a free action to place a water terrain marker within 6 squares and line of fire -or- remove a water terrain marker from a square he occupies and heal him 1 click.\u00a0\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u2019s third trait,\u00a0Absorbing Excess Water<\/em>, \u00a0boosts his damage value by +1 and giving him the Giant damage symbol when he occupies a square of water! Additionally, if\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0is also adjacent to 8 squares of water terrain, he instead gains the Colossal damage symbol, and increases his damage value by +2.\u00a0 You\u2019ll definitely want to choose a map with ample amounts of water terrain to gain the bonuses from\u00a0Absorbing Excess Water<\/em>!<\/p>\nMoving past\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u2019s traits, he starts his dial with a special power called\u00a0Water Flows Everywhere<\/em>\u00a0that represents his ability to travel just about anywhere he pleases.\u00a0\u00a0Water Flows Everywhere<\/em>\u00a0lets\u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0use\u00a0Sidestep<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Improved Movement<\/em>\u00a0to ignore elevated, hindering, and blocking terrain, as well as characters when he moves.\u00a0<\/strong>He rounds out his dial with some great standard powers including\u00a0Impervious<\/em>,\u00a0Barrier<\/em>,\u00a0Super Senses<\/em>,\u00a0Shape Change<\/em>, and\u00a0Close Combat Expert<\/em>.<\/p>\nHydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0has point values that should allow you to add other attackers and support characters on your force, preferably with some shared keywords to make a themed team to increase your chances of picking a water map!\u00a0 He has plenty of synergy between his traits to place more water terrain to heal himself or increase his combat values, and get opposing characters stuck near him. Despite his lack of a printed range, he can hurt enemy characters that are out of reach by using Giant Reach to attack characters 2 or 3 squares away if he can increase his size with\u00a0Absorbing Excess Water<\/em>. \u00a0Hydro-Man<\/strong>\u00a0can then tie down enemies with the Submerged marker, thanks to\u00a0Drown You on Dry Land<\/em>.<\/p>\nThanks for reading!\u00a0 Join us again as we reveal more exciting characters and highlight strategies and team builds from the upcoming\u00a0Marvel HeroClix: Superior Foes of Spider-Man<\/strong>\u00a0set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greetings HeroClix Fans!
