Greetings HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

Welcome back to your Clix fix as we preview more exciting figures for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix<\/strong>:\u00a0 Shredder\u2019s Return <\/strong>set!\u00a0 This third\u00a0Gravity Feed set adds even more characters from the\u00a032-years of TMNT history, based on both\u00a0the comics and animated tv series.\u00a0 Today we have a visitor from an alternate universe, Master Sliver<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div>

In a twisted reality where the famous foursome of Turtles have amazing superpowers, their sensei Splinter<\/strong> is also twisted – an evil master named Sliver<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The first thing we notice on Sliver<\/strong> is his trait, Cruel Teachings<\/em>, which allows any friendly character (including Sliver<\/strong> himself) to heal 1 click when it KO’s an opposing character or takes 2 or more penetrating damage. This trait is useful for any friendly figure anywhere on the map, but the rest of Sliver’s<\/strong> dial begs for him to get in the middle of the fight anyway at his 130-point cost.\u00a0 A point cost that makes him a great headliner for a TMNT Villain<\/em> or Animal<\/em> keyword themed team.<\/p>\n

Sliver’s<\/strong> top click is very deadly in close combat, featuring Sidestep<\/em>, Blades\/Claws\/Fangs<\/em> (with a high 11 Attack), Toughness<\/em> and Exploit Weakness<\/em>. Sliver’s<\/strong> first four clicks feature the same powers on Speed, Attack and Damage, but his Defense is split evenly by starting with Toughness<\/em> before switching to Combat Reflexes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While the first four clicks of Sliver’s<\/strong> dial are that of a close combat machine, the last four clicks display the rodent sensei as a super-powered monstrosity. The second half of Sliver’s<\/strong> dial features the same four powers on every click: Outwit<\/em>, Impervious<\/em>, Energy Explosion <\/em>(well-used with his range of 5), and the special power, I Have Your Powers Combined<\/em>. This special speed power lets Sliver <\/strong>use Plasticity <\/em>and Sidestep<\/em> while also possessing the wing symbol and Giant size symbol<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sliver<\/strong> is sure to do plenty of damage top-dial if\u00a0you can get him into the fray before he gets hit himself, but no matter what, the back-half of his dial is a force to be reckoned with. His combat values on the last 4 clicks are steady on Defense and Damage with 17 and 4 respectively, and his Attack Value climbs to 12 on his last fearsome click.<\/p>\n

That wraps it up for today.\u00a0 Stay tuned for our next preview for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix:\u00a0 Shredder\u2019s Return<\/strong>\u00a0set.\u00a0 Remember, always tip the delivery driver well if they get there ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div>
