Title: All female decks..
Post by: Jack on July 07, 2013, 11:25:22 AM
Somehow this turned into a topic about all female decks, so deck construction it goes.

Wish I could attend, but I don't really travel.  I would like to support somehow though.

P.S. nice use of the street fighter 4 font!

We'll likely carpool out of Toronto if driving is the problem. We'll stream one of the matches on Hangouts on Air (properly this time!) so if you want to show your support, watch it live and watch the videos when they get posted to YouTube.

Count me in, I'll be there. Just kidding. I'm not coming. Lucky you!

How do team hero cards like Serpent Society and the Marauders fit in the all-female scheme of things?

There's also some characters i dont think a gender has ever been specified for. What about robots and stuff?

I was going to include the robots clause but I'm not sure how to classify Future Backlash.

Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: chuu on July 15, 2013, 01:02:57 PM
I'd probably use Elektra over catwoman. I think her cards are better.
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: BasiliskFang on July 15, 2013, 04:57:44 PM
id use team overpower over the opp -1 venture.
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: chuu on July 15, 2013, 10:08:21 PM
I'd probably use any heroes on my team as well, the defense is really covered..

My energy team would be, Invisible woman: Malice, Scarlet Witch, Phoenix and Jean Grey: Dark Phoenix in reserve.
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: drdeath25 on July 15, 2013, 11:27:52 PM
I would use Scarlet Witch, Phoenix, Dark Pheonix, Spider-Woman  (R). Shout outs to spider-girl too.

chuu
i was going for the f and tw from all the women
and i a fan of black widow im suprisingly not an elektra  overpower  fan but i did use her in the mua  game  ;)

and does no one have love for jubilee and her defense or shadowcat and her 31 total  icon damage
of course theres those two along with invisible woman and spider-woman(R) the max 6 femme's
and id give drdeath25'steam  a slight advantage

I'm a big fan of both Jubilee and Shadowcat, but I'll admit a lot of that has to do with my X-homerisms (because I generally don't stray too far from my Xmen).

Jubilee is nice and cheap and, as mentioned, has pretty good defense. The trick is to pair her with someone like Cable.
Shadowcat has good versatility as a dual-grid (double with the alternate!), and lots of non-duplicate attacks, with a Draw3. You can even throw her in Reserve with her somewhat-usable AD, her HQ, and her grid-backing.

The real problem is there are simply better options in a lot of ways - but i AM still a big fan  ;D
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: steve2275 on July 16, 2013, 10:58:13 AM
since you mention cable
could always go with jubilee and witcblade with malice and spider-woman in reserve
jubilee malice and spider-woman protecting witchblade

That team makes Jubilee a pretty easy target, though. That's the problem with using a Teammate-only AD with a team-wide 9-or-less. if you're crossing the latter, then they still have to guess. if not, you just keep going after the least-covered character. throw in the fact that she's a max-6 and she's become pretty easy pickin's. The only solution is to throw in an AG or two for Jubilee, but then you've saturated your deck... maybe the problem becomes more complex, not solved  :-\ On the other hand, maybe witchblade poses enough of an offensive threat... but I know if I was facing that team, I'd hammer Jubilee to death first.

Can we have this discussion somewhere else? I want this post to be about the tournaments and not strategies.
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: drdeath25 on July 16, 2013, 10:57:45 PM
So since this thread is about strategy. I normally use one of these two strategies.

1. Try to kill all of my opponents hero's
or
2. Try to get all my missions in the completed missions pile

These strategies seem to work well for me in this game.
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: chuu on July 16, 2013, 11:14:57 PM
My strategy is to defend alot and let the opponent defeat themselves...doesn't always work, but when it does, it's glorious.

Female Decks are fun. I've played with:
Scarlet Witch, Invisible Woman: Malice, Jean Grey: Dark Phoenix and Spider-Woman (R)
Sabra, Black Widow, Elektra and Silver Sable (R)

I've always had a Marvel only bias.  8) Even now I've never used a DC character when playing. I do like Elektra though because she has teamwork defense and more offensive specials.

heres a thought nate
domino elektra wasp for http://overpower.ca/wiki/BS purposes 
and silver sable in reserve for http://overpower.ca/wiki/AD purposes
wasp and her http://overpower.ca/wiki/MH for more defense

now THAT has some potential... Wasp also lets you get an Image Inducer onto the table...
Title: Re: All female decks..
Post by: chuu on July 31, 2013, 10:49:40 PM
i don't think image inducer works with the BS special since when an attack is moved, it's then thought of coming from the team mate it was shifted from.
