Errata:
6:42- I should have said Sinestro instead of Mangog... Oops. I changed the picture during editing and forgot about that.
6:52- The text should say "super strength" not "giant strength", obviously. Sorry about that.
well edited and easy to understand video. thank you very much.
Nice job. One thing you need to fix and/or avoid using is Blocking Terrain (and walls) go "to the ceiling". Unfortunately, Blocking and walls only exist at the level they are on. On an indoor map, if a Colossal is targeting a standard figure on level 2 has between them a wall and a square of Blocking terrain on level 1, Line of Fire would not be blocked to and from the colossal.
Seems like it has been awhile since I saw one of your vids. Glad they are back.
Am envying you with some of your figures . ☺. Never played the game. Boring friends But do buy the figures. Amazing art work. like keeping up how to play wizclick . One day , when not so busy. I'll try and play by myself ( no smutty remarks . Please. ). Grt8 vid😊
These are so great. I teach at an elementary school and we have a Heroclix Club. I use these videos A LOT and kids LOVE colossals.
So for a colossal that does not have will power they take a click of damage for the second action , then another for the third action
My favorite colossal is the Crisis #225 Anti-Monitor because it is singlehandedly the reason I started playing Clix. I read Crisis on Infinite Earths in middle school and was a huge fan of it and one day when I was at a Magic the Gathering game, a box with artwork from the comic and miniatures of the Anti-Monitor, Pariah, Thunderer, and Shadow Demon caught my eye. I bought it at the time because it looked awesome. I didn't even realize until later it was for a game
Thanks for investing your time making these videos that clarify so much for myself and my friends learning/playing Heroclix. Keep up the great work!
First new video in a while yay! Welcome back!
Best Heroclix videos on TH-cam! Thanks a lot for creating and sharing the content with us.
Thank you for doing these tutorials! I don't get to practice and play as much as I would like, and these videos have helped my game, understand the rules, and form strategies. Seriously, thank you, Tabletop Teacher! Don't stop =)
Very well done video!!! I picked up a couple of good points.
Welcome back lol , nice video , guess the store is doing good hope to see videos
You do such a GREAT job on all your videos. However, I am so confused about your comments at 3:22 concerning the Protected: Pulse Wave. Even after watching your video a dozen times, I'm not getting it.
Always love your videos! Good delivery and thorough. Keep 'em coming! Mangog as a retaliator is super broken and, as such, is the best. My favorite though is carnage.

How do equipment and resources work with Giant and Colossal sized characters?
Awesome video on a topic that has caused many heated discussions. It will be the “go to” for settling them now. Thanks!
Another great video, I continue to share all of them with our local players on our local Facebook page. Keep up the brilliant work.
Could you explain rules for fights between flying characters and characters on the ground.
There are no specific rules for that situation in the most recent Rules Update. Imagine that when a flying character attacks, they are always on the ground. A flying character's movement is not affected by hindering, elevated or outside blocking terrain or even characters, but this improvement does not apply to targeting (unless the character specifically has those improvements; flying does not grant them).
Thank you very much. That form of logic makes sense and can be applied to Air/Land and Air/Air. Rulers for slamming characters to the earth from the air
may be an interesting thing to think about.
So do you take damage on the second click if you don’t have willpower or indomitable?
Yes you do
Great Video as always. My first great size Figure was Shuma Gorath. He still gets used alot to this day. 😁
Another great video as usual!
Oh thank God, your channel is awesome
Great time to do this after all the new common ones in Infinity War. My favourite colossal figure for the sculpt alone is He Whose Limbs Shatter Mountains and Whose Back Scrapes the Sun. I was given my orange Foom at a Nationals about 10 years ago and it's probably my favourite figure to look at.
Great vid TTT, I come from a bit of the old school, my typical mind set is that anything bigger than a peanut base is a bit broken. And back in the day that was the case. But it seems WK has found a good balance for them now...well except for Retaliation stuff.
Awesome video as always. Looking forward to more. Hopefully some “EARTH SHATTERING PULLS!”
Great coming back!
And My Fav Great Size Charcter is still BATMAN/SUPERMAN ROBOT .It looks really great and is fun to play,tho ive only played it on its lower point value but it is still fun to play.
It is a lot more usefull when it can Hypersonic though i had some bad dice luck when i tried to crush Shredder Clone or a TMNT Villains clix with it,maybe it was Baxter stockman or Even Krang
Really nice video from an Heroclix French Team!
Where was this video a week ago! Lol JK a friend and I are getting into the new rules and was unsure of some of the rules. I hope you plan on making videos for all the changes in the newest rulebook! They seem more improves then ever before.
I know you are bussy and thats why you dont upload that often, but Do you know any tricks and tips to store the Heroclix collection.
One thing is having a box full of figures and just picking them up at random, but having a deck of cards and a pile of figures all at random, with a big collection, it end up being confusing.
I have several plastic compartments with drawers the size of a regular sheet of paper; one for each set. Works very well and keeps everything tidy.
So I just thought it playing The game in September and I wonder if I pulse wave a colossal character and that character is on his colossal retaliation dial with toughness/ESD is that character’s toughness/ESD still applied for that pulse wave to reduce the damage because colossal’s have protected pulse wave?
How much "protection" Protected:Pulse Wave grants depends on the casing. Protected:Pulse Wave only protects the power/ability and any powers or abilitiesit grants. PROTECTED:Pulse Wave on the other hand, protects all powers and abilities on the characters dial.
Johan Karlsson thanks but that does really help I know about low and uppercase protection I just don’t understand if it’s lowercase does the pulse remove his defense ability’s. I think it does and uppercase protection just means he keeps all defense abilities.
Table top teacher what do you think would be better a guardians of the galaxy brick (I'm trying to get the black order) or get some singles from other sets mighty thor etc.?
But mainly the rare thanos
Good timing I just won the tri sentinel today..By the roll of the die not By dominating the game
Thank you so much!
Please, help me. Does both giant and colossal has giant reach? Back in the old rules, did giant or colossal figures NOT have the giant reach power?
Can you do a video about characters or vehicles with 2x4 bases?
Hey, you should do a heroclix match. It would be friggin’ cool.
During movement for collosal characters, do they move as if they are a standard size character?
Eternity
Colossal and giant characters are great!... Except when you play against'em, in that case are a pain in the a** XD
Lol I have eternity, he’s just impossible to beat
FTFMELIO!! Colossal retaliation like a BAU5! with mah stiltman.
woooogiwoogiwoogi ( -- u -- )
