The secret is to go for the power generators they aren't near. The only vertex attack Baron Blade really needs to worry about is Bunker's and you can easily stay out of range of it. As for the effectiveness of the players, one was Bunker and was avoidable. The other was Tachyon and she rolled very poorly. I would either defend against her attack with the battle suit or redirect her attack back to herself. I was dodging practically every turn and keeping my defense tokens up by swapping between The battle suit and the kinetic redistributor. I don't think that rolling poorly or being unable to catch up to Baron Blade was playing horribly.
