Bay Area HeroClix League

My team that I play at this league week was:

Enchatress  141

+Contingency Plan  12

+Alias  3

Ulik  118

Rock Troll 45

Rock Troll 45

Rock Troll 45

Rock Troll 45

Rock Troll 45

The way I play this team was to get to my opponent close enough to use the Rock Troll charge ability.  I never wanted to put Ulik in danger of getting KO because if Ulik was gone all my Rock Troll would be pretty much useless.  Using Enchantress TK and Perplex to support the Rock Troll was a must.  Had a lot of success with this team.

Rd 1 vs Alan (won)

Rd 2 vs Jason (won)

Rd 3 vs Joe (loss)

Loki  208

+Contingency Plan  12

+Alias  3

+Protected  8

Malekith  91

Valkyrie  38

+Alias  3

Asgardian Warrior  37

When playing this team, I try to have Loki be protected by Stealth as much as possible.  I love his range of 10 so I can keep my distance with my attack.  Having Asgardian Warrior for Mastermind fodder is great because he have Toughness threw out his dial.  Had more fun then I expected with this team.

Rd 1 vs Braden (won)

Rd 2 vs Raymond (won)

With our 3rd season of league play at an end, I thought it would be fun to do a power ranking with the best 5 players who have played in our league in the past 3 years.  To qualify in my ranking, you must have played in at least 3 events in the past 3 years.  With that being said, we have over 50 players who qualify for this ranking.  I know this list might get some people upset and some might disagree with the list but please understand that this is nothing more then an opinion of mine and it is for fun. 

Honorable Mention: Marshal_law, Brycie, Bonkers555 and Tanis11

#5 RhDawg- If we talk about one of the most improved players in past 2 years it will be definately RhDawg.  What impresses me most about RhDawg is that he is still improving with each victory or defeat.  I honestly believe that RhDawg benefited the most since he started playing in our league against players like Fuzzy and Molaram. He is the only player that I know of that TTTheMighty doesn't feel confident against.

Team Build: B+

Playing Skill: B

#4 Dr. Briefcase- What we have with Dr. Briefcase is a great player using not so great figures most of the time.  The thing that makes Dr. Briefcase very unique is that he will use a lot of figures that most people would not consider using and he plays very well with them.  In my opinion if he min-max like most the other players he could easily be in the top 3 spot.

Team Build: B-

Playing Skill: A-

#3 Fuzzy- Here is a player who consistantly builds great teams and plays flawlessly every week.  Fuzzy has the best sportsmanship out of this list.  Patient with new players, he doesn't complain about dice rolls and you will always see him helping out weaker opponents while playing in our league.

Team Build: B+

Playing Skill: A-

#2 TTTheMighty- Cocky and Arrogant is what best describes TTTheMighty as a Heroclix player.  Beside his personality flaw, I will admit he is the best Heroclix player I play against.  His team building is cut-throat and play style is so agressive that you don't have time to counter and set up.  The ONLY reason he is not #1 on this list is that he is too over confident against weaker players.   He can consistantly beat the great players on this list with ease but it puzzles me how many times he loses to players who league record is below 500 winning percentage.

Team Build: A

Playing Skill: A-

#1 Molaram- He is the winner of the last 2 League season and has the most win record in the past 3 years, do I need to say more?  Beside TTTheMighty, Molaram has consistantly beat every league player with ease.  Molaram is a player that never leaves his foot off the pedal until the last second ticks off from the clock.  His team build is near perfect and he never underestimates any player he plays against.

Team Build: A-

Playing Skill: A

At the end, it is all my opinion and it is just for fun.  I hope no one gets offended with my list.  I hope we will have another strong 2010 year like we did in 2009.  Please post any comments or opinion you have regarding this list.  Thanks.

So the event was 600 points Non-Generic Theme team.  This is my favorite scenario for Heroclix becuause it make it very Comic Accurate.  So I decided to build a team around my favorite book for 2009.

Superman (E-2)  317

+Fortitude  25

+Nano Armor  6

+Alias  3

Flash (AA)  120

Green Lantern (OR)  95

Dr. Mid-Nite  43

I still believe this team can win.  Although my record for day was 1-2 the only reason this team loss was because very bad dice roll.  When you fail to roll a "5" four times and miss breakaway for 7 times in a roll then there will be very little chance of winning.  My idea for team was to put Superman out in battlefield early to let him tie down my opponent figures.  With his special white power "Leading the Attack", he will most likely get to hit atleast 2 different character for 5 damage every turn.  Nano Armor is must for my Superman because he really can't afford to get hit for more then 5 damage passing his best click on his dial.  Maybe better luck next time with this team.  It won't the last time I will be playing it.

This week at game Game Kastle you must build a 800 points team with atleast 500 points with the Deity and/or Asgardian keyword.  No more then 8 figures and no more then 20 points in feats. So heres one of a few chance to play my Thor's Chariot.  Heres my team:

Thor's Chariot  500

+Protected  8

+Unstoppable  5

Gharskygt  61

Asgardian Warrior  37

Asgardian Warrior  37

Asgardian Warrior  37

Asgardian Warrior  37
Valkyrie  38

Valkyrie  38

When playing this team I know the only one who really going to do most of the attacking is the Thor's Chariot.  The rest my team is there to cover and support Thor's Chariot after every attack.  With a long dial I was not worry hitting Mystic TA which I knew will be played a lot.  I love the Unstoppable feat because he gets to destroy a wall before he can make a attack.  This team did a lot better then expected.

This Saturday I was trying my luck to use a team no one will even consider playing.  My team was:

Enchantress 141

Ultron  174

Moonstone  74

Baron Zemo  95

+Contingency Plan  12

With this team I thougt that with a TK and Ultron 12 range I could position my team to strike first against my opponent.  Unfortunate all my opponent was playing a Captain America and they took first shot at me every round.  Ultron was useless everytime he get hit.  His number drops too much to be effective in mid game.

This past Wednesday night Game Kastle event was you must use figures and feats from Hammer of Thor and Secret Invasion.  My winning team was:

Captain America  72

Thorbuster  140

Dr. Strange  150

+Alias  3

Spider-Man  50

+Alias  3

Spider-Woman  79

+Alias 3

Because of my team lack TK and HS, I was hoping that using the Skrull TA and Alias would protect me from getting hit early.  Positioning was important early in the game because I need to counter my opponent attack with my own.  Fun night.

Tonight event at Game Kastle was alot fun.  The scenario was 400 points everything from only Hammer of Thor.  My team was:

Valkyrie 145pts

Fandral 101pts

Asgardian Warrior 37pts

Asgardian Warrior 37pts

Valkyrie 38pts

Valkyrie 38pts

The goal of my team was to get map choice to control Captain America.  Unfortuanately out of 8 players not a single one used Captain America.  I would think that at least Krone would use his favorite comic super-hero.
