Team-ups to consider, #001

A friend and I have an ongoing conversation about how to build a decent working 300-point team with Blight in it. Blight is one of those figs where you go 50/50 about his usefulness - he's 272 points, doesn't have much to offer in terms of fun or meta play, no enhancements or upgrades for potential teammates, whatever special traits and powers he does have are only for himself and also not very beneficial.

How he's costed, one would think it was to intentionally pair him with a support piece like Moira Mactaggert or Weasel - low cost, high benefits, quick to die - but his dial remains to be a bit clunky. A 300-point build of low cost figs - say, three or four Heroes for Hire figs with the HFH ATA - can easily kill Blight in less than thirty minutes.

At 272 points, you have no choice but to have him as your primary attacker. His special anti-KO trait assures him some leeway for longevity, but you only need to hit him at least twice in one turn to kill him, and he's actually fairly easy to hit as he has no Super Senses or Shape Change. Sure, he has Impervious and Invulnerability, but in the hypothetical HFH battle with Blight, Silver Sable can easily shoot him with Penetrating/Psychic Blast (and take one for the team from Blight's variation on the Mystics damage penalty) for 3 damage, then Outwit Blight's Imperv/Invuln so he's open for attack from everyone else, for maybe 4 more damage, then Silver Sable can partake of the HFH ATA for a free long ranged Penetrating shot, again for another 3 damage, and Blight will be dead, not activating his anti-KO trait, all in one turn.

Blight needs a relic or resource that will give him at least either Super Senses or Shape Change or Probability Control that never goes away or maybe Steal Energy that activates even when in long ranged attacks. Blight with Wonder Girl's Lasso? Infinity Gauntlet with three Gems?
