Who is actually good at Skrulls? Stats

  Here is the promised stats overview for the Skrulls infiltrate World Leadership extract Crisis.  As always with these we don't go over every single Affiliation but focus on things standing out. The time frame we look at is April 2nd 2025 until today which has 1950 games played on the crisis.  The number of games isn't super high (neither is the total amount of games played for the faction in the time frame) but A-Force really like playing Skrulls.  Black Bolt is probably the absolute king of the extract with all the shenanigans Inhumans can already do and Skrulls being a Civilian extract which makes Terrigenesis an auto pick for the 5 TTCs. Criminal Syndicate are fantastic on the crisis with only Shadowland Daredevil not outright loving it.  I wouldn't have expected Convocation to be as good as they were on the crisis with their low average physical defense.  Miles Morales even narrowly outscores Black Bolt and while Web Warriors probably don't bring the ...

Finding the right 6 threat brawler for my Guardians

  I'm currently pretty happy with my main competitive Guardians of the Galaxy list, but the last spot is in a bit of a flux. I'm very certain that I want a 6 threat, close combat Brawler in that spot to help me out on the central fighty Secures like Wedding Party, Intrusions and Mayor Fisk, but who should it be? The list looks like this at the moment:  Characters (10) Agent Venom (4) Beta Ray Bill (4) Groot (3) Nova (5) Rocket Raccoon (2) * Star-Lord (3) Yondu (4) Spectacular Spider-Man (3) Pyro (3) ???? (6) Team Tactics (10) Foreign Assignment Galaxy‘s Greatest Lovable Misfits Call for Backup Deadly Duo Plundered Goods Brace for Impact (R) Fall Back (R) Pyrotechnics Recalibration Matrix Secure Crisis Infinity Formula Goes Missing! (B, 17) Guardians Save Shi‘ar Empress in Style (M, 17) Riots Spark Over Extremis 3.0 (D, 17) (Also not very sure about Riots to be honest, but it's currently in. Not a lot of Web Warriors in my meta so it ain't that bad) Extract Crisis Alien ...

Every Safe grab in MCP

  Today we take a look at every option for safe grabs in the game. But first we must clarify two things:  1. What is a safe grab?  The term is used to describe a character being able to interact (pick up) an extract objective token from the midline and move back to (relative) safety.  2. I about 500% sure I'm going to miss at least five possible safe grabs here so absolutely reach out if you notice one I've missed and I'll add it to list immediately.  Just like with the Steals in this article , there's different types of safe grabs in the game:  1. Natural safe grabs  One important thing that these three characters share which isn't obvious from their stat cards but which makes them natural safe grabs is their base size which for these three is 50mm each. Combined with their Long movement that's enough to reach the midline in one move, pick up an extract and move again.  2. Interact from Range 2 Not nearly as safe as picking up and moving again bu...

Everyone is good with a hammer. Right? Fear Grips stats

  When I wrote the last article on Terrigen Canisters I said that Skrulls was the most popular Extract but since then Hammers has topped it again (it is pretty close though) so today we'll look at the stats for it, but we'll do Skrulls too in the coming days.  Fear Grips or Hammers as it is mostly called is a very old extract that just got a tiny chance in the 2023 crisis update. And one of the classic phrases in MCP is: "everyone is good with a Hammer" but is that actually true?  We'll look at the stats from April 2nd 2025 until today (Augst 22nd 2025), and try to find out who wants to play it and who should rather stay away from it. As always with these we will not be covering every Affiliation just things sticking out.  Someone apparently has found a good unaffiliated build for Hammers. The sample size is small but we can clearly see that Dark Dimension likes playing on Hammers. Dormammu can pick one up from deployment. He's even able to grab a second Hamme...
