Battle Report: the Mystical Justice League Dark with Pandora's Box and the Cosmic Treadmill VS Iron Patriot and Wolverine


Build:
* 400 points

* My team: Frankenstein, Tim Hunter, John Constantine, and Abra Kadabra with Pandora's Box and the Cosmic Treadmill

* Opponent: Iron Patriot and Wolverine

Map:
Hellhouse map from the DEADPOOL OP kit

Report:


I rolled for initiative and assigned Frankenstein the Sloth sin. He Sidesteps to the portico. John Constantine joins him as Prob support. Abra Kadabra and Tim Hunter both move around in their room. Iron Patriot and Wolverine move to the middle of the map, aiming to destroy the Cosmic Treadmill.


The Wrath sin is assigned to Tim Hunter, pushing him. Abra Kadabra pushes himself to move, then forces Tim to push again. Tim Sidesteps near the door. Frankenstein Sidesteps against the wall, positioning himself for a potential Charge. Constantine then clears.

Iron Patriot and Wolverine both clear.


Abra Kadabra pushes Tim one more time, activating his magus setting. Tim sidesteps. Constantine walks to Frankenstein for Prob support. Kadabra and Tim both clear. Iron Patriot and Wolverine walk and hide behind hindering terrain.

Tim Hunter then Perplexes his damage, Sidesteps, then Running Shoots and Pulse Waves full force for five damage at Wolverine. Frankenstein Sidesteps then Charges and BCFs Wolverine for five damage, reduced to four, activating Frankenstein's special BCF power where if you roll 4 and above, the target can't be healed or Supported at any point in the game. Abra Kadabra pushes himself to go to the Cosmic Treadmill. Constantine moves to the middle of the map.


Iron Patriot Running Shoots Constantine and Frankenstein but misses. Wolverine tries to wave his claws around but hits only air. Abra Kadabra runs in the Treadmill, activates its powers, clearing everyone of one action token each, freshening both Frankenstein and Tim. Frankenstein hits Wolverine for 3 damage, killing him. Frankenstein Sidesteps to Iron Patriot. Tim Hunter then Sidesteps and Running Shoots Iron Patriot, hitting for 4 damage, whittling him down.


Iron Patriot tries to shoot Frankenstein, but he misses. Frankenstein hits him with his sword for 3 damage. Tim Hunter shoots Iron Patriot, and it hits for 4, sending him to the scrap heap.

Winner:
The Mysticals won. They basically outmaneuvered Iron Patriot and Wolverine, with four figures moving against two high-cost figures. By the second half of the game, I had five Probs per turn for everyone (six if the Cosmic Treadmill activates), and having established a killbox, it was relatively easy to pick people off the map. The Justice League Dark figs also have really good synergy with each other - Tim and anybody beside him can't be targeted by the opponent's Prob, Constantine and anybody beside him can use Stealth, Frankenstein has a nasty trait where if he KOs a character, all Justice League Dark figs can do any move actions for free - and the Sidesteps from the Sins really really helped me control the map. Pretty good game, pretty fast kills, all done in 15 minutes.
