Fright Train = level 4 villian

Games Sentinels of the Multiverse

So I had the idea to play solo games of vengence to test out the new heroes in wrath of the cosmos and it seems like everyone plays pretty well against all of the villains except for Fright Train. He just seems to wreck everyone. I went back and started playing other heroes and found the same thing, just so much damage so fast. It is not all that uncommon for him to deal 10 damage on the first or second turn.

I have always found vengeance to be difficult to beat. I never really put my finger on why, but now I think it is the Fright Train Factor. I am looking forward to the VotM having gone through this testing.

Really? I never considered him a major threat.

He's easily the main damage dealer of the V5, but I wouldn't say he's a difficulty 4.

3

I don't think he's that bad either. Sure he hits hard, but he goes down fast too.

I would agree that he's very powerful, but my solution would be bringing down BB to a 2, Fright Train and Proletariat seems to do much more than him.

5

Maybe it is just the one on one format that does it. I just can't seem to keep up with the damage that he is dealing. What hero do you like against him in a one on one scenarios?

Nightmist get him to punch himself

7

Or Legacy, become immune to Melee damage.

1v1 Fright Train is rough, because his big shot to the highest is always the same target.  Damage to eveyone isn't dangerous to a single target as much as a big shot like FT delivers.  Vs. a normal team Fright Train isn't that bad.
