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.

Adepticon 2025 Reveals evaluated

  The big AMG Adepticon Panel has come and gone and I've had some time to digest everything and will give my opinions and of course I'll compare the reveals with my predictions.  (As always click on the images to enlarge them) Gambit has gotten a much needed update:  His Gainer lost a dice but changed to Energy.  His Spender has the trigger changed to a wild Stun.  He can now walk in any direction with his reactive superpower instead of just away from the character that attacked him.  He lost the superpower to add dice to his attacks.  He has gained an incredible innate superpower that lets him always count wilds double while attacking, defending and dodging. Very thematically fitting and cool.  Is that enough? Yeah I think so. He's kind of a 3 threat slot machine now where his wilds mean so much, that rerolls (offensively and defensively) are fantastic with him. His TTC Dark Past remains the strongest argument to play him still though which is wh...

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...

What we learned from the Post Adepticon Fury's Finest Interview with Will Shick

  Right at the end of Adepticon Will Shick had an Interview with the (fantastic) Fury's Finest Podcast. If you have the time go listen to the episode yourself, it's always worth listening to Jesse and Chris and it's also always fantastic to hear Will Shick talk about the game. That should be enough reason right there 😉 Find it here   With that out of the way let's see what we learned from the interview:  Adam Warlock:  As expected he is confirmed to be the second Guardians of the Galaxy leader with his leadership being called "Infinity Watch". With his release there will be updates to the Gems and, just like Thanos, he'll be able to hold two of them. And he's going to get a special Soul Stone that only he can hold.  Quasar and Moondragon:  These two will have some synergy with each other (as they should), but not a Husband and Wife mechanic. Shick also talks a lot about how the sculpt of Moondragon came to be and that's a lot of fun to listen too....
