Title: Interesting thoughts on I.A. + Artifact combos?
Post by: gameplan.exe on December 09, 2011, 05:13:06 PM
So, Storm has a great I.A. that has come in handy on more than one occasion, but I was wondering if there's a way to put it to better use...

Has anyone tried these combos?

SERPENT CROWN on Domino
SUPER SOLDIER SERUM on Mandarin
ADAMANTIUM TENTACLES on Killrazor
BOOK OF DARKHOLD on Booster Gold or Storm

there are few things that stand out to me -
1) To best take advantage of these effects, it'd be good to have a way to force attacks over to these people. So, a good Battlesite and Event selection is a must.
2) This strategy seems to conflict with Storm's OE- and Mandarin's CT- coded cards.
3) Domino has interesting potential on the X-Mansion team with a Serpent Crown on her, but who gets the boot between Cyclops, Professor, Cable, and D.Phoenix?

Thoughts?

i'm going to piggyback this topic with a question of my own

suppose i use a character that gets a power card defense bonus, with a double shot

if cable defends with a DS with domino, does he get the defense boost?

Now THAT is a good question.

Sure does! now, obviously, doubleshots only go up to lv.4 for PC contribution, so the Grid-Altering artifact doesn't help her like that, but yes, you could block a 10 with a DS from Cable and a lv.4 E PC from Domino  :)

what's the feeling about the reverse

ie: domino plays the doubleshot, cable plays the power card....i'm guessing no bonus then

exactly, since it's not really her power card at that point  :-\

i was also thinking about battlesites that boost someones stats to 7 or 8 for remainder of game to create a deadly boost with innate. possibly 7+2 or 8+2's or events that can use specials for other teammates.

so Domino can get 8+2E, Storm can get 8+2I, Killrazor 7+2S, Mandarin 7+2F, Booster Gold 8+3I
