Special Attacks -- Definitive List

Is there a list of this or should I take it on as a personal task? (feel free to flame me if there is a list and I'm to lazy to have checked for it)

You can check the List of Lists HERE.

There isn't a list such as you've suggested, but if you'll make one and agree to keep it up, I'll happily add your list to the list of lists. (don't try to say that fast)

Thank you! I've put it together (still doesn't look very pretty, but, then again, neither do I) and will be glad to keep it up. This is one of my favorite things to catch opponents on, nasty little bugger that I am. Here's the link: http://heroscapers.com/community/sho...=359862#388397

Nadom, you're indexed; thanks. You might want to rename (edit in your first post) the title to "Defense against Normal Attacks - Definitive List" if you'd like consistent style with the other list titles.

Thanks, again, for your list.

Will do; thanks, Rev.

Updated with Waves 8 and 8.5.

It has already been noted how not many cards have special attacks and I thought I would figure a percentage.

As of today, there are 27 cards with special attacks and 144 cards in total (counting the door).

27/144 = 18.75%

If you don't want to count the door:
27/143 is about 18.88%

I guess it just seems higher because these cards see a lot of play time.

Fixed.

Well, it shouldn't be that ubiquitous. If everyone had special attacks, they wouldn't be very special, would they?

Mr. Incredible: You mean you killed off real heroes so that you could *pretend* to be one?
Syndrome: Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics the world has ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that *everyone* can have powers. *Everyone* can be super! And when everyone's super--
[chuckles evilly]
Syndrome: --no one will be.

At least we can be grateful that Syndrome doesn't have special attacks, only special powers

For the stats above, it seems that you guys used 27 cards, while the first post lists 28 figures.

The stats with 28 figures:

28/144: 19.44

28/143: 19.58

Major Q10 has 2 special attacks. 27 is the number of cards with special attacks.
