Hello all,
By the time you read this I
will be on a plane heading back to Kansas City. I did some thinking
about some good figures that have been over looked in the meta. I think
that #10 Firestorm from Nu52 is a gem that is not getting any press.
So with all things considered why should we play this figure.
Well first off he has a high damage option with an ok attack or standard
damage with move and attack. By having running shot and rce on click 1
he can be tk'd to take a shot or he can running shot into position.
Having a 19 from range with ESD gives him a good level of survivability.
The if he takes a standard hit he goes to hypersonic speed or barrier.
If you choose to push you have perplex.
Point
cost wise he comes in at a great 105 points. Not only that he fits on a
standard team really well or on a Justice League team. Justice League
team really needs a figure like him. You see to many high point
attackers or high point support figures with Justice League. With
Firestorm you can come in do some major damage, push if you want to, and
be a great use to your team.
Firestorm works
well with any of the Justice League ata's. I really like Justice League
Silver age and Justice League Dark. Justice League Silver age lets you
once during each game, choose
any team ability or opposing character. Each friendly character using
this team ability modifies its attack value by +1 when attacking the
chosen character or a character possessing the chosen team ability. This
can help him up his attack by 1 which makes him really good for 4
points more. Then you have Justice League Dark when a character using
this team ability is adjacent to a friendly
character using this team ability, opposing characters modify their
range values by -2 if not already modified by this effect. Uncopyable.
For 2 points limiting your opponents range down is really useful.
I hope you enjoyed this insight. Tell me what you think and if there
is any figure you want me to talk about live a comment below.
Thanks for reading,

I was not impressed by either of the firestorms. Yeah they are useful, and all the points you pointed out are great insights. I just feel that 100 points can be spent better elsewhere. This is primarily because of the overexposure of indomitable, making it difficult to pay 100 points for anyone without it. Now clearly this can be fixed with a 10 point belt, but without it, I could not put serious consideration into playing him. Keep up the great work, I have just recently stumbled on your work and am loving it so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to know what you think of the Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh and what kind of team would you build around him.
