C3G Unit Discussion - SSE S1 ; Part 2

Still one of the go-to's if you're doing attack boosting. Moving to Loner definitely defangs him a bit, but he's still at home just fine with Star-Lord and Cap builds. The class change probably moves him out of A+/5 territory to just A/4 territory for me, though.

[Lord Pyre]

I don't think the class change (or the 30 point bump) affects his high end potential. The vigilantes as a faction probably held him back more than anything, and 30 points is negligible when he's boosted by Cap or Star lord. He's still the best generalist ranged attacker we have.

[Karat]

0Yea he's still a really solid A/4 for me. A good pick for just about any army, even ones where he doesn't directly benefit from any synergies.

[IAmBatman]

I think turn bonding with Robin (Dick), placement by Commissioner Gordon, retrieval and healing from Alfred, and Hand Ninja bonding by way of Lady Shiva are all worth a half grade or so.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

The class change means almost nothing to Punisher IMO, since if you were playing him in Vigliante armies you were basically handicapping him.

You can no longer play him in a mediocre faction, but it doesn't effect his best builds at all so it only changes his 'versatility' rating, not his power ranking.

[tcglkn]

That’s why we changed his class. Vigilante armies weren’t his best builds, but he was still the best Vigilante option available for most of those armies.

[Arch-vile]

Punisher didn’t have the best armies full of Vigilante synergies, but including Robin (Damian) in with attack boosters was a solid combo.

[MrNobody]

Yeah, I think the main thing he lost was bonding with Robins (with Dick and Damian probably being the top choices) in wider generalist armies.

[Tornado]

He was money in a Hand Ninja build with Shiva and Winer Soldier.

[Yodaking]

The triple ranged 7 normal attack is one of the top options for stat boosting armies and always will be. Increase that boost further by drafting him with someone that can give him a lift up to high ground quicker to really maximize him on appropriate maps. I always felt his biggest weakness was his staying power as I've had him whiff on defense on me many times and drop fairly quickly. Stat boosters like Cap & Star-Lord also helps with that though, as does the high ground advantage vs. other ranged attackers. You can also consider drafting a screen, protector, or something to help him avoid being attacked for a while. After all the changes he's gone through, I'm not sure how much I'd use him anymore when not in a stat boosting focused army build, but he's still a top option in those so 4 stars.

Green Construct (Mech Warrior)

[Arch-vile]

I’ve never had much luck with the Mech Warrior. Seems overpriced for how fragile it is. And while 2 attacks of 4 are useful for a GL who has expanded several of its battery markers, generally attacking with a GL is better.
