  Unit Strategy Review: Captain America

When Captain America throw his mighty shield...

My favorite hero of this set, purely because he's just so darn heroic! And that's what a real hero is. Heroic. A heroic hero is the epitome of heroism. Am I annoying you yet?

 

[dragonfire9788]

(My may change when I get the figure)

Captain america-May mow dow regular heroscape characters. Beast in heroscape. Sort of good in marvelscape. Another A-

You forgot he is Valiant and a Soldier.

He can play with the 4th Mass and Marcus very well.

 

[IAmBatman]

Keep in mind these books are pretty brand spanking new - so it may not be that he forgot so much as he hasn't fully updated them yet.
But, yeah, Valiant and Soldier both offer Captain America synergies.

Thanks. Tell me if you see any other errors, they can be rather hard to catch sometimes.

 

[IAmBatman]

No prob. It all looks good to me, but I'm sure if there are any errors people will be around to point them out right away.

 

[Jonathan]

Had a fun time standing this guy right next to Hulf the other day - they make a great 1-2 combo.

 

[Sherman Davies]

Played with my Marvel set for the first time today. One of my opponents got so frustrated by Cap that he swarmed him with two squads of Roman Legionnaires. With height advantage on most of them, Cap's counterstrike nailed all eight of them. It got to the point where I was asking the guy if he really wanted to keep attacking Cap.

In a second game, Cap's shield throw took out an entire squad of ninja (one of the squads I most fear) in one order counter. Definitely Marvel's MVP for me, and that's hard to say 'cause Spidey's my all-time favorite fictional character.

 

[IAmBatman]

If you try to take out a Counterstriker with 6 defense and height advantage with normal melee attacks, you get what you have coming to you. Cap should've been shot down from range or hit by special attacks.

 

[tsukifu]

I haven't been real stoked about the Marvel--I got the obligatory single set, just to check it out. But Captain America is freaking awesome, definitely my fave so far.

We played a 3-player game the other day with 500 pt armies. I went with Captain America, Raelin, and two squads of Omnicron. By the third round or so, I was looking pretty strong, and so the game became me against the other two guys--and it stayed that way. My army took out what was left of both their armies, probably 850 points or more (and playing one of my turns for every two of theirs, mind you), and in the end Captain America was still on the board. He is seriously bad.

 

[IAmBatman]

Still waiting for the day I can field Cap + 4th Mass x4. Pretty sure this combo will be sick.

 

[AKflip]

Well my problem is that Captain America's (R.I.P.) basic attack is stronger than Spider-Man's and Iron Man's. I mean both of them can lift and throw a car. While the Cap, is just as strong as a heavy weight boxer. It just feels that they over/under powered some the characters in this set. The only one I feel that they got spot on was the Hulk.

 

[GreyOwl]

That's because the attack value doesn't only represent strength, but also fighting ability and skill. It's all of it rolled into one. So Cap has lower strength but much higher skill, while the other two have much higher strength but lower skill.

 

[rdhight]

There's also the brutality factor to consider in attack power. I mean, do Anubian Wolves get 8 times the raw physical strength when they roll a 20? I would argue Spider-Man's attack is so low because he's trying to hold back and not kill the enemy. Sure, he could tear you limb from limb with his bare hands, but he isn't willing to. So he has to jump around, use tricks, etc. even though he's really stronger. Captain America's attack is higher because even though he's not super-strong, he's using every ounce of the power he does posess to kill you as quickly and directly as possible.

 

[CaptainJack102]

Cap is good at everything in 'Scape, he can go toe to toe with anything in marvel and is great at obliterating squads and his abilities make him an absolute powerhouse
