Greetings and welcome to the Clixed Off preview of the upcoming Marvel Heroclix Rise and Fall set currently scheduled for Pre-Release on June 30th (subject to change).
Before we hop in the Previews, we have already posted a brick unboxing of this set located on the Clixed Off Youtube Channel located here.
Many thanks for Wizkids for the unboxings and these previews, we are very excited for what this set has to bring.
Check it out at shop.wizkids.com or your FLGS.
Up first, we have Multiple Man 007. Generics are one of my favorite mechanics and this is certainly a figure you want to run in multiples. With a split dial, efficient point cost and the ability to spawn more of himself, Multiple Man can quickly overtake an opponent with copies of himself. Starting with the 40 point dial and several 10 point dials is a great start for any of the numerous Keywords he has. X-Men team ability can keep the 40 point Multiple Man Alive longer and Underworld Team ability means the swarm is never far from the action.
Secondly we have Lilandra Neramani 035. Lilandra’s dial featured here works in conjunction with Professor X to increase their Leadership roll results. Lilandra is a powerful support piece for Shi’ar theme teams as she can generate Shi’ar soldiers on a successful leadership roll. Having a printed probability control keeps from burning the Theme Team probability controls too early in the game and traited Mastermind to help makes sure she can stay on those Top clicks longer.
Third up is our first Super Rare and one we pulled on our unboxing video Brood Queen 057. Brood Queen has a long dial for 100 points coupled with Cosmic Energy to potentially remove tokens from herself. Her powerset revolves around generating Brood Generics and having them help to keep her alive with Mastermind. Offensively the Brood Queen is no slouch with a dial full of Exploit Weakness and solid combat values.
Lastly, we have a Super Rare Prime 061B Mimic – Mimic is packed with a ton of great value for his point cost. Starting with a Rally die to let him pick a power from a friendly character within range to use for the rest of the game. Pairing Mimic with XMRF 024 Dr. Moria MacTaggart allows for first turn activation and power stacking. His first trait allows him to take on the
displayed attack and damage powers of adjacent characters. This can be very powerful when Shape Change and Perplex is adjacent but can be a hindrance if Battle Fury is adjacent and Mimic wants to use his 8 range and Penetrating Psychic Blast. Stats are solid on both split dials and the dial length is what I’d expect out a prime with this power set.
Thanks for tuning in to this preview! We are excited for this full set and hope you are as well!
