Getting into HeroClix, I knew right away one of the first things I wanted to do was build teams. I’m all for the random battles, too, but I also want to see X-Men vs Avengers, New Warriors vs Infinity Watch, etc. With my latest purchase of singles, I filled out my first team – Secret Warriors!
The Secret Warriors are new to me, so don’t get too up in arms if I get any of their story wrong. As I understand it, they are a group of super powered agents lead by Nick Fury. He formed the team during the Secret Invasion story, where the Skrull were posing as heroes and setting the stage to take over the world. Most of the characters seem to be the children of various heroes or villains, like the son of Ares, daughter of Mr. Hyde, and a descendant of Phantom Rider.
Thus far, I’ve only played Phobos and Slingshot. It’s a lower point team, but I actually find them more fun and requiring more finese than all-powerful teams and heroes. Phobos is really useful, with blades, and later a mind control and probability control. He seems like a nice jack of all trades, good offense and utility. Then we have Slingshot. I’ve professed my love for speeders before, and she’s no exception. Their mobility, break aways, and ability to hit and run is pretty nifty.
As for the other characters, I haven’t played them yet, but I’ll touch a bit on how they look at a glance. Nick Fury is their leader and he’s indomitable. He looks like he gets a nifty team ability where he’ll remove action tokens from his Secret Warriors on the move. Then we have Stonewall, who may serve as a tank or at the very least a front line fighter. Then we have Quake and Hellfire. They seem to have pretty good area damage, with Quake, you guessed it, using the power Quake. She has an improved version of this as well. I almost didn’t buy Hellfire, but he has a penetrating Energy Explosion. I love this power, so I’m glad I bought him for the team.
And that’s my first team, Secret Warriors! Stay tuned to find out how they play in the next Battle Report, as well as more pulls and additions to my every growing army of miniatures. Until next time, Clix fans!
