As an extraordinary assassin, Bullseye’s rules are geared towards one thing: damaging his opponents. He has an impressive array of attacks and powers to that end, from something basic like his Throwing Knife attack up to his signature power, I Never Miss.

Pin Cushion is a special attack Bullseye can perform, as he grabs a handful of whatever objects are handy and hurls them at his target. This pocket debris and subway tokens turn into a lethal Strength 5 barrage. Pin Cushion ignores any cover the target might have and imposes the Bleed special condition, and after he makes the attack, Bullseye follows up with another Pin Cushion attack thanks to the Rapid Fire special rule. Not a bad way to spend 4 Power!

Always hitting what he aims at is pretty much Bullseye’s whole deal. Thanks to the I Never Miss reactive power, it’s true on the tabletop as well! After making an attack that deals no damage to his target, Bullseye can spend 1 Power to use I Never Miss, which automatically deals 1 damage to his target. I Never Miss is a great way to chip damage on a target that’s about to become Dazed and pairs well with Bullseye’s Knife Throw attack, which costs no power to use.

Of course, Bullseye isn’t the only person out there able to perform ranged attacks. If someone is brave enough to take a shot at him, Bullseye has another trick up his sleeve with Parting Shot. This reactive power costs 2 Power to use after an attack targeting Bullseye is resolved. The attacker immediately suffers 1 damage (perhaps as Bullseye throws their own bullet or arrow back at them) and makes a Short advance away from the attacker… hopefully into cover.

Enchantress will be very disruptive in scenario-centric teams, and Angela might be the new-hotness beatstick!

Waging a years-long war on crime requires a particular set of skills, and Frank Castle has them in spades. His training as a Marine sniper has made the Punisher a crack shot, able to snap off quick hip shots at his targets. The Hip Fire attack represents one of these rapid, shorter range attacks, allowing the Punisher to make a followup attack against his target. The Range 5 Aimed Shot is where his sniper talents really show, however. This Strength 7 Physical attack costs 3 Power to use, but benefits from the Pierce special rule, which allows Castle to modify one of his target’s defense dice. Anyone he tags with an Aimed Shot also suffers both the Stun and Slow special conditions.

The Punisher doesn’t mete out justice at random. He picks his targets carefully and punishes them for their actions. In-game, this is represented by his Active power No More Second Chances. With it, the Punisher issues uncompromising vengeance against a target for their actions. This power allows the Punisher to discard between one and three Punishment Tokens, adding that number of dice to an attack roll. With it, he can deliver a heavy one-two punch with Hip Fire, or go all-in on a 10 dice Aimed Shot attack.

How do you get these tokens? Through one of Castle’s other powers, The Fallen. Working with Frank Castle is a dangerous business: his friends, family, and allies often find themselves in the crosshairs of those who seek to do the Punisher harm. The Fallen is an innate power that represents the burning rage within the Punisher. With it, any time a friendly character is dazed or KO’d, he gains a Punishment token to use against his foes. The Fallen doesn’t require the Punisher to be nearby an ally either, so he can comfortably sit in the back lines and gather tokens to use on his longer-range attacks.

If an enemy does get close to the Punisher, they’ll soon regret it. Wherever he fights, Frank Castle is careful to set up improvised booby traps, turning the landscape into a war zone. His (appropriately named) War Zone power reflects this. After spending 3 Power, the Punisher chooses a terrain feature within Range 4. The blocks of explosives he’s packed inside go up with the touch of a button, detonating to hit nearby opponents for 2 damage and destroying the terrain, leaving them out of cover and vulnerable to his next shot.

Daredevil would be fine at 3. He's wrong at 4. There's almost no reason to use his AEO unless there are at least 3 models in the area, even with the Defender Leadership (which also costs power). And while he's a long mover, he does not have any other movement skill, which seems like such a miss for him.

Bullseye looks solid. He can grab a spot and hold it simply by discouraging others to come near him. He seems to be a better Defender than Daredevil as he could use the change in damage type. Or even a Web Warrior to get him just a touch more defense.

I agree; Daredevil is a bit disappointing. I like his area of effect attack but at only two strength for five power it's a bit underwhelming. I suppose it pops off pretty effectively though if you're contesting objectives, giving you four or six die there.

It's never 2 dice. You get 2 base, +2 for each target. That includes the first. 4 dice against one target, 6 dice against 2 targets, 8 dice against 3 targets.

Additional skills that grant movement, is presumably what was meant. Ghost Rider, for example isn't particularly fast at a glance, until you account for skills.

This game generally has been good at avoiding power-creep, but a few models are definitely still at the edges of usability for their points. I think we all know Crossbones is as close to a dud as this game has, but Daredevil and Peter Parker are definitely flirting with being too costly to ever take.

Luckily, the disparity in this game is nothing compared to say 40k, so going full thematic always leaves you able to field models you like AND still win games.

Punisher and Taskmaster:

Punisher looks like a very solid backline sniper. Does he replace Hawkeye, Suri, Ironman in anyone's lists?

Taskmaster I want to work, but I'm not feeling anything special. Can he replace Zemo, SHIELD Widow, or Valkerie as a character assassin in anyone's lists?

FB group is losing their minds over it, but its an excellent list, and really extends the health of this game.
