Tournament ready wave 9 figures
This may be jumping the gun somewhat, but I was wondering what figures/squads people thought would be tournament ready from wave 9. I'm trying to decide which packs I'll need multiples of.
My first stab at this is as follows... Gladiators (steamroller seems impressive) Brave Arrow (great for a 50 point filler) Repulsors (counters to soulborgs) Dwarves (counters to dragons and Q brothers) Migol Ironwill (bonding with dwarves) Atlaga (decent stats and works with Minions, Sentinels and Defenders) Protectors (ranged, flying common squad, but expensive) Dividers (better than drones?) Mohicans (good at several things but not great at anything) Tul-Bak-Ra (assassin) Kumiko (decent anti-squad if you are space constrained) It seems to me that there are many specific counter-draft figures (Repulsor and Dwarves for example), but not too many figures that would be considered all around "A" type figures. What do you think? Last edited by Rich10; June 28th, 2009 at 02:57 PM. |

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
I actually think Atlaga is the best unit in Wave 9, but I like the rest of your list.
I think most of Wave 9's units will do OK in tournaments, but none of them will make a huge impact. Like battle reports? Click Tourney Reports (New 10/21/2012 - Cutters / Brutes!) KC's Maps Click KC's Customs Scaper of the Week #57 |

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
Do you see Atlaga as making an impact by himself or more as a cheerleader for minions/sentinals/protectors?

I don't see the Marro as being that competitive. I see them as slightly better than the Drones. Could you explain? |

I see him as a cheerleader for those kyrie, a cleanup figure and maybe as a semi-counter to Braxas. The expensive Kyrie squads really hate Braxas, but Witherwood is scary for a Braxas player.

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
IMHO kumiko is the worst wave 9 unit. She an 80 condtional squad killer. In virtually any situation you can get a better 80 point unit.

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
Thanks, I sort of over-looked Atlaga. I guess I never did that well with Kyrie squads.
As for purchasing wave 9, I think that I'll only need on package of protectors and dividers. I'll probably get 3 of the other squads. |

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
Why only one pack? One squad of commons is essentially a unique squad, and the protectors aren't meant to be used that way.

Re: Tournament ready wave 9 figures
Yeah, even if you don't particularly care for a certain common unit, I'd say two is the minimum you would want to own, though I think three is really a must (for me however, I own ten of each regardless).
