Heroclix LOCKDOWN randomness
Armor Wars 068
Dazzler
There have been several versions of Dazzler in Heroclix, the most recently being an O.P. Kit Limited Edition prize.
But the figure I randomly pulled from my box of Heroclix is the Rare 068 from Armor Wars. Yes, quite an old figure. But can she still be played today? Sure she can.
Lets have a look at her dial (with help from HC Realms http://www.hcrealms.com)
Well that Team Ability won't help much as no new figures have it, but it will give you a once per par -1 to an opponents Defense.
And that Keyword, Ultimate X-Men, means being on a Theme Team with new characters is unlikely.
8 / 9 / 16 / 3 with a Range 8 for 68pts.
Not great by today's standards, but she has six clicks.
And Energy Shield/Deflection meaning in cover from ranger she is a sweet 19 Defense.
8 range with 3 damage is also not bad. She does lack a Move & Attack, and only 9 Attack means you'll probably want to use her Perplex onto her Attack.
An 8 Range Energy Explosion is pretty good though, even by modern standards.
Or you could choose to Push her onto that Pulsewave. So using Perplex that is a standard 10 Attack with a Range 4 Pulsewave. A bit of Telekinesis to get her in position and she can certainly hurt your opponents Team.
The most obvious way of getting her into position would seem to be Exospex to give her Running Shot. I'm not a great fan of using the Exospex, especially on already high point characters, but it's perfect for bringing life back to some old favourites.
So, while not a Theme Team, this is at least nearly Comic Accurate;
AW063 Dazzler 68
WKMP19-S001 Exospex 12
WKM-022 Pete Wisdom 100
EAX031 King Britain 120
TOTAL 300pts
