Rating all non character specific unaffiliated TTCs

 

Well this shouldn't come as a surprise now, does it? 

Having rated every affiliated TTC in the various Affiliation Overviews and the character specific TTCs here it's only logical that we complete the set with this article. 



Team Tactics (14)

Brace for Impact (R)

S+. You can really only consider not having Brace in your roster if you've built your roster with a lot of terrain throws and high above average physical defense across the entire roster. I would like it to be a free sixth card everyone just has automatically to be honest. 

Fall Back (R)

A+. Fall Back is restricted for a reason. It's very strong for any team that likes to grab extracts early and hang on to them as long as anyway possible. 

Grievous Wounds

C-. The timing kills the card for me. Gambling on the effect of a TTC is far too high a price to pay in a competitive setting. 

Heavy Firepower

D. I had to re read the card which is already a bad sign. I would say I know the effect of about 90% of the TTCs of the top of my head and this is even one you can use with any affiliation. The condition is hard to meet and the effect is then not worth a TTC slot. 

Indomitable (R)

A+. A personal favorite of mine. Situationally much stronger than Brace but more expensive and doesn't help against that size 4 building being thrown into your face. 

Instant Recovery

B. Of course a far cry from X-Ceptional Healing but still good if you have multiple Healing Factor characters in your roster. Probably most interesting in X-Men/Force, Weapon X and Spider-Foes. 

Joint Effort

A. Unlike Heavy Firepower this is an "add attack dice" card that can be very much worth its slot. 

Patch Up (R)

S. Seeing as I lost a game to a timely use of the card just yesterday I'd say it's pretty good. 

Recalibration Matrix

A+. While it can help you make an important attack more reliable it's true strength is killing an opponents spike into you. 

Sacrifice (R)

S-. A card that can win you games. There are a lot of character specific versions of the effect nowadays making it easier to not spending a card slot on it. 

Survival

B+. It's a good and well balanced card. It helps mitigate the feels bad of having your characters dazed and then KOed before it got to activate again. Costing power equal to the characters threat is a great way to balance the card. Beware of Namor, who ignores the effect though. 

Venomized

D-. It's one of the worst cards in the game. Because it effectively costs 6 power and two action to make a mediocre attack, that might heal you a bit. Yeah no thanks. Cool theme though. 

Versatile Strategy

B-. The card had an Updates you can get from AMGs website or Jarvis Protocol. It seems great, especially as you can now play it after your first leader dies but requires a dedicated plan. If you only bring it in case your first leader dies you could've most likely gotten more milage out of the card slot. 

Warpath

A. Once per game aggressive might not sound like much but can catch your opponent of guard and guarantee a VP in the right situation. 


That's it for today.

Affiliation Overview: Web Warriors

  Why should you play the affiliation  Peter Parker is the single most popular character in the world. Miles and Gwen share between them the focus of the two best superhero movies of all time and are extremely popular characters in their own rights.  On the table Web Warriors are a supreme objective play team building off of their core of incredible 3 threats. They are big enough nowadays to offer different approaches too though.  How to start the affiliation  Untypically I don't think getting the affiliation pack is always the best way to start here. While Miles and Gwen are absolute core models to the affiliation, 4 threat Peter Parker will very rarely (if ever) see the table and Venom is decent but really up to personal taste. And seeing how the only real benefit of the affiliation pack is getting the additional Peter for free you can really decide if that's worth it for you. If you own core set 1 you already have the character and if you own core set 2 you h...

Affiliation Overview: Defenders (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  Defenders are a giant affiliation containing both the more mystic focused Defenders of Doctor Strange and also the Marvel Knights which made up the Netflix show Defenders.  On the board Defenders have a super deep roster with a tonne of great characters and some variety in play style.  How to start the affiliation Update: In Q2 2025 AMG releases the Defenders affiliation pack which uniquely comes with five models in Doctor Strange, Wong, Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. You have to pick this pack up first and absolutely should.  After that I would first pick up Shang-Chi and Silver Sable followed by Hulk and then Namor and Black Panther, Chosen of Bast. You have your core very much there.The affiliation is very deep and has a lot of good characters but with those mentioned you have your probably most used models in hand already. Also all of the affiliated TTCs. Just note that Pentagrams of Falafel (let me have fun with t...

Affiliation Overview: Uncanny X-Men (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  X-Men are far and away the most popular Marvel part after the overall most popular character in the world (Spider-Man). They are not only a favourite of the community but also clearly of AMG being the faction with the most build options for their characters.  On the table they are super flexible, have a huge list of affiliated models and very strong TTCs.  How to start the affiliation  Update: from October 2025 AMG releases new single Person starter sets. One of them is the X-Men starter set:  Aside from the ten characters it also contains ten dice and the measuring tools. The X-Men starter (which is a Brotherhood of Mutants starter at the same time) is a permanent addition to the line up, whereas the Spider-Foes one will only he sold for a limited time.  The new starter set is absolutely the perfect first purchase for X-Men but until then the X-Men affiliation pack is the best starting point giving you two of you...
