First off, enjoy the videos and appreciate taking the time to put this content out. I think the progression or power creep depending on what side of the isle you side on has been rather fascinating to take in these past five years of hero clix. Captain America is an excellent example of this, from time gem, swapping, shifting focus, to even now Venom and Carnage versions. Of course Captain America prime will be great going forward; cost efficient, hits above his weight class etc. I also agree that Cap Prime embodies him well; his leadership and resolve even the above average stats; I have fielded him several times and he has fared well. One of my favorite Caps was the time gem one and though released not too long ago is completely outclassed now; I find it difficult straddling the fence of competitiveness versus nostalgia myself when building teams especially in silver age. In retrospect rotation came too soon for a few sets; in addition, I think that legacy pieces should be modern legal always, encouraging collecting of older now obsolete sets due to progression/power creep.
Peanut base cap put in work for me this weekend. With prime Thor, spider-man and Hawkeye LE all from the same set. Being able to copy defenders when he fell to low dial helped a lot.
In reference to Black Panthers, I really like the legacy BP from A4E. He’s 60 pts, has Spider-man TA, traited stealth that allows him to be placed in hindering within 4 squares when in hindered, plus a way to gain safeguard: outwit & protected: pulse wave. Wish he had blades/claws full dial, but he does alternate perplex/outwit full dial and gets super duper senses for 3 clicks.
Longest cap that i used was The one from ADW WHO was ONLY 50 p And had a Better leadership change. The one cap in Civil wsr gf was Also pretty cool since he could boost a friend or something. Now If i need to use Cap i use The one from war of The Realms who has trait leadership And recuiter
Good top, Commander, accurate. The PAHK is good, and comes with the legacy card, which is even cooler. But still the king of the hill is Prime Cap. Man, I hope I can obtain him some day.
Prime is definitely the top pick. I still need the legacy card for the peanut base. So many great choices for him. I might have put the one that comes with the time gem in the honorable mentions, even though he is a bit expensive.
So can you use powers like precision strike and close combat expert together? Or psychic blast and range combat expert? Just curious been out of the game of a long time.
Question about the swap out cap from empyre, if disney plus scarlet witch is on sideline, and you swap her in via his trait. Her trait says she starts the game with darkhold, does that mean she gets brought into the game and gets to start with the darkhold equipped in spite of being swapped in? Its a weird order of events thing im not 100 percent sure on
In her case, yes, it does just say that she starts the game equipped with it so she could be swapped in and get it. Some other traits don't quite work that way depending on the wording, but yeah, she should be good.
@@HeroclixHeadquarters cool, i finally found a use for ghost panther then, i love the sculpt and idea of the cross ovdr of heroes, i hate the piece playwise, but ill get his bystander at the beginning then replace him with witch lol
Ran peanut base on a Defenders team a few weeks ago. Only was missing Prime Hulk. The team was brutal.
Nice!

Totally agree with your take on the prime, totally the embodiment of Captain America... And the points!!! My favorite figure from the set hands down

He's dated and overcosted, by I love the AVX Cap

Yeah one thing I forgot to say was that my previous list could pretty much all be honorable mentions now, especially the old number 1 time gem cap.
They should have legacy vet ultimate cap instead of rookie but it is what it is

Yep! Since the 2021 changes, CCE and RCE are now +1 attack and damage whenever you make that type of attack. So, in a sense, they're "always on."
@@HeroclixHeadquarters ok thx it just feels op so I was unsure
Your immobile means the Pym tank is useless
Wow, that is not something I would have thought of nowadays lol. That thing was crazy though!

@tobiasterry7194 Hey, that's a good idea! Avengers doesn't have many good swap out options like x-men but that's a good one I hadn't thought of!
I know he don't come out til worlds but can we talk about Pegasus cap
He looks like he's gonna to be great!
@@HeroclixHeadquarters combo with Bucky team up card and sky breaker nothing bad to say
