psylocke armor wars vet review



This is the latest version of the comic character Psylocke. When this set was initially released allot of people looked at her and said yaw she's ok tried to play her a couple of time and then gave up. The fact that she is stealthy is good with incapacitate and exploit weakness.
This combination is nice as long as she is in hindering a pretty sick piece. However with the new rule changes that arrived with the release of sinister set. This piece has come much closer to being a main stay on the tournament seen. See with the stealth incapacitate and exploit she was a good piece maybe still a high point total. However this is mainly I think because he critical mass version is so much cheaper similar dial but instead of incapacitate she has blades claws. When the change was made to the combat reflexes rule. To add 2 to the figures defense from close combat attacks. What this does now is gives her a 19 defense from close combat attacks and if she remains in hindering you will not be able to range attack her at all. I'm dying to use this piece in a tournament can't wait to do it. Stick a stunning blow feat on her that makes her even meaner for only 10 more points. In contact with oracle for 10 more points, and maybe ambush for 5 more. You have a very good 100 point version of Psylocke a main piece on a team maybe not but as a support piece for a 400 or 500 point team I think she can be deadly. Especially when paired with a mind controller. You mind control veteran icons superman. Hypersonic attacks one of his own teammates hits them for 7 damage. Then you end his move in front of vet psylocke with the feats. You incapacitate him with stunning blow he will take the full damage because of the exploit weakness. If you’re feeling lucky you can in contact up her damage to 4 with the exploit and a token. This gives all your other teammates the rest of the turn to take a swing at him. Then because of the tokens on sup's you will have an entire second turn to hit this big behemoth of a character. This should either help you destroy this big guy or effectively neuter him. Either way a sick combination. Please feel free to leave any comments at all. I look forward to hearing anything at all on this topic.
