Battlefield roles for every MCP character (H-L)

   

We continue our look at every character in the game with with H-L today and give them a rating of 1(bad) to 5 (great) at these categories: 

Speed: 

How fast does the character move, including any superpowers that support it.

Durability: 

How well can the character survive enemy attacks. This includes healthpool, defensive stats but also superpowers like Damage reduction or Healing Factor or the turning off of enemy crits. 

Damage output: 

This contains both attacks but also superpower throws, especially bigger terrain throws. It also takes attack types and stuff like Rapid Fire and Beams into account. 

Range: 

At what Range can the character operate at? This will not always take the characters longest range attack but might find the middle on those and try to show where they want to operate at realistically. 

Control: 

Does the character have access to pushes and character throws or hands out a lot of conditions, 

Support Superpowers: 

This includes any superpowers that help the characters allies like places, advances and healing but also Taunts and Bodyguards


Out of these we'll create different battlefield roles.

The roles are: 

Extract Runner: A character that's good at picking up and holding onto Extracts. 

Secure Specialist: A character that's either very sticky on a Secure themselves or has the ability to relaibly push/throw enemies off, while being quite durable themselves. 

Glass Cannon: A character that has above average damage Output but far below average Durability. 

Damage Dealer: A character whose main job is to deal damage. 

Brawler: A character that can and wants to get stuck in a fight. Good damage Output and Durability are needed. 

Tank: A character whose main job is to not die easily. 

Taunt: A character with the ability to "Taunt", so take attacks onto themselves when they are close to the Attacker (Like Luke Cage for example). 

Bodyguard: A character with the ability to Bodyguard (like Steve 1). 

Backpoint Sitter: A character with very long range attacks that makes it good at staying back or a low threat investment, low impact character. 

Control: A character whose main job is to control the enemy characters either through conditions or displacement. 

Support: A character whose main job is to use it's support Superpowers to help their team. 

Importantly we don't look at leaderships and how they might change a character but just that characters stat card with nothing else.

Affiliation Overview: Spider-Foes (2026 update)

  Why should you play the affiliation  Are you a somewhat of a scientist yourself? Do you like crushing arachnids? Do you love making overly complicated plans and see them ruined by a teenager?  Spider-Foes are a super fun faction, which boosts the best looking line of miniatures in the game and a very fun and unique play style with tricks and traps.  How to start the affiliation  As long as it's available you absolutely start with the Spider-Foes Starter set. It's the so gle best deal in MCP and probably all of tabletop wargaming.  The only characters you're missing out of the affiliation after that are:  Kingpin (available in the Criminal Syndicate Affiliation pack, which is a good additional pick up after the starter set)  Doctor Octopus (available in the Spider-Foes Affiliation Pack or Rivals Panel)  Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist (available in the Earth Mightiest Core Set, a good additional pick up if you need terrain) Venom (currently de f...

Ministravaganza 25 reactions

  Wow Ministravaganza 25 did a lot in just 35 mins of MCP this year. Let's dive right in and see if my predictions were even close to correct:  1. Roadmap We're immediately starting out with a banger here. Everything on Iron Lads card is just very good. His builder has a "for every wild" trigger with slow and stun which are both great, his Gainer can push, his Spender can automatically reroll any number of dice, he can remove a damage or special condition for a single power, has a size 2 terrain throw and can reroll attackers dice (just for himself but still). He's an extremely well rounded 3 threat.  A.  The first ever 3 threat on a 65mm base! And oh my what a 3 threat that is. A good builder that can choose to be physical or energy is followed by a great spender that has a throw and an extract steal (not just drop but actually stealing) trigger, as well has a place, rerolls and damage reduction. He is confirmed to be a member of the Criminal Syndicate and will ...

The August Update part 1

  I don't think we'll need an intro for these 😅 here are my takes on part 1 of the character updates:  Abomination :  injured side art update only  Adam Warlock :  Injured side art update only  Agent Venom :  Already a favorite character to play of mine the increase to above average 7/7 makes him an excellent piece in all of his (many) affiliated homes.  A  Amazing Spider-Man :  ASM has already been very hard to take off the board and 7/7 makes him nigh invincible. His problem has always been list lackluster damage output and he's got no news there.  B  Ancient One :  7/6 might make her more interesting now but she struggles with competition in the 4 threat slot where Defenders have a giant pool of options. She could have a comeback in Convocation maybe.  B- Angel :  Angel already had the markings of a great objective runner and with respectable 6/6 now he is far better at fulfilling that role.  B+ Angela :...
