Spartoi Elite [Guardians of the Galaxy 011a] and Korath The Pursuer [Guardians of the Galaxy Movie 015e]

Remember STAR Labs Tech and Weasel? A pair of 3-click figs that made it to the Top Ten?

Yeah, these two are 3-click figs that tank, hard.

First, Spartoi Elite. He wants so hard to be an indispensable supporting fig like the above, by having Defend that gives an additional +1 to Shi’ar and Spartoi key worded figs, both of which absolutely LITTER the meta right now. (Wait, they don’t.)

OK, so maybe he can use his Perplex on characters in hindering terrain. Which means he might need to use his Smoke Cloud on himself and pals. But man, you sure better not push him…he’s not long-lived. He’s just too limited to bother using most of any of the time.

Then there’s the bargain version of Korath. He’s a flier with Charge and Toughness and Outwit and 5 range. And that looks kinda OK. But there’s that full run of Incap, and the fact that the warp-to-attackers trait that makes him so good at 100 points is MIA at 50. That Outwit might as well be a bull’s eye on his face, because at only 3 clicks, it’s BYE FELICIA FIFTY POINTS.

Tornado Twins [The Flash 036]

• They’re Legionnaires who can’t fly or be carried.
• So they need mobility to gain the vital Speed Tokens that they need.
• Oh look! They only have an 11 Speed with Charge, by far the lowest moving attack swing of all the Speed Force-traited characters in the set.
• Better hope they hit with just a 10 AV, because it might be a while before they get another good shot: They lack the Willpower or Improved Movement to make adding STs a simple task.
• If they DO get a ST, they’re likely to spin off a Tornado to offset the attack disadvantage…remember that lack of Willpower.
• But the Tornado does not grant extra STs.
• Tornado Twins can’t use Duo Attack to get more STs because Duo Attack can’t be used with the moving attacks required to GET the STs.
• And it takes two to four STs to get any of the goods offered by their damage SP…
• …that appears three clicks in. One benefits their Duo Attack (which, we’ve established, doesn’t help at all in the ST matter) and the other, their combat values (which, at 9 AV and 16 DV and 2 damage, need the help a lot).
• Fortunately, there’s a set of stop clicks….that only have a 50% chance of working, along with a 33% chance of taking one more click anyway…and a 15% chance of instant self-KO. But you get to spend STs to redo this single roll. Good thing you were able to save up so many Speed Tokens.
• Oh…wait. That’s the whole problem. You really can’t save up many Speed Tokens.
• THAT’S the way to spend 115 points, don’t you think?

Double down dead duds.
