SG Protocol

  Finally the we got the Panel to Play for the most interesting character in the upcoming Mutants pack, in both lore and rules (as he has Grunts) in Multiple Man. And the original Hot Takes for Jubilee were so long ago that we will look at her with fresh eyes again and with her now revealed Tactics Cards in mind.  I'll also give a first impression and Example Roster for X-Factor at the end of the article.  Strike again guys? Really? I mean Jamie is probably the most deserving character to have his basic attack called something basic as he is just a man with no superpowers whatsoever (expect of course creating dupes who also just punch like regular humans, but they are Many). Of course rerolling 2 dice is good on a Builder, but I would've maybe expected lower dice but a Flurry trigger made more easy when the Grunts are in range.  The Spender, Madrox Monkey Pile! Is super cool and thematic and 9 dice for 3 Power and Range 3 is fantastic, so be sure to have your Dupes c...

  Welcome to the September 26 Affiliation Stats article. The first full month with the August 26 Updates in play. So let's not waste any time and dive into AE (All Events) first and RSE (Rated Singles Events) further down. Wakanda rules the world on the back of incredible months from classic Black Panther, M'Baku and Killmonger Usurper, who has taken the mantle of most played leader by a mile. Only King T leadership struggles.  The White Queen of the Hellfire Club shows what I have been expecting: some buffs to a couple of affiliated models (including herself of course) and they will be top tier again. September shows that August was no fluke.  Convocation got a huge popularity boost through the inclusion of Scarlet Witch (the objectively best Avenger is the movies 😉) and can boost almost 300 games. About three times their usual in the months prior. They are also very very good.  Mighty Avengers have gotten some more minor but impactful buffs (a big one for Steve 2,...

  A new Panel to Play dropped and we have the cards to two new leaders we can now dive into, starting with Dany Moonstar aka Mirage:  Mirage comes with a decent defense statline of 3/3/4 defenses and 6/6 Stamina and importantly combines that with Stealth. She has a small base and moves Medium. She has a Range 5, 5 Dice, Mystic Builder with an interesting trigger: handing out a Neural Connection Token. She can then spend the token (that hopefully comes with the box, unlike the Weakness Token for Karnak...) and two Power to Advance an enemy character in Range 5 or reroll two of their attack dice. Both she can also do to enemy characters in Range 1 that don't need to have the token.  Obviously a *Bow" from Range 5 is incredible and basically the heart of the kit for Dani here. It does of course rely on hitting the wild. The good thing is: firing away Mystic Range 5 shots while sitting in Stealth range herself is very good for a 3 threat even if she never hits the trigger....
