Thematic Battles

Who do we know teamed up against various villains?

For example- the Freedom Five clearly stopped Baron Blade on the MDP. That’s about as complete as it gets. Some others…

Prime Wardens fought Akash, but where. Dark Watch seem to have battled Gloomy and Spite. Scholar was with Visionary against the Dreamer. Both Legacies at least battled Iron Legacy and so did the Freedom Six at some point. The FF fight the Enead. End of Times Haka, Crono Ranger and either Golem Unity or Omni X battle some form of Plague Rat in the far future. Those on the champion cards are pulled in to fight Kaagara. Vengeance I read somewhere, but after Iron Legacy, I cant remember the replacement team.

What else do we know beyond just the enemy symbols?? Anyone care to make a list?

Any idea who Redeemer Fanatic fights Apostate with? The later Ra fights the Ennead? Thanks in advance!

Its a good question. I tend to fill in the blanks with imagination for most of these. My group is planning on doing a Prime Wardens v Akash in Enclave of the Endlings advanced/challenge mode. Probably gonna lose, but....

Dunno about a villain, but Mr Fixer, Tempest, Nightmist, and the Adept get stuck in Silver Gulch at some point.

From what I read somewhere, the reason Paul and Pauline Parsons are both active in Tactics is that the changed timeline resulted in neither of them being present at the ambush the Vengeful Five has set for them at the Mars base.

Apparently the Dark Watch battled them there instead. I wish i could remember the souce of that, probably somewhere on these boards.I've tried it, it's a tough game.

It's from the beacon Update on Tactics, also more of a mixture of all 3 main teams.

When  Iron Legacy appeared in the standard timeline, many heroes assembled to fight him, including  Legacy AND his daughter, Pauline Felicia Parsons, who would someday become Legacy in her own right. In the course of that battle, both father and daughter were gravely injured, and those injuries resulted in them not being able to respond weeks later when word came that Baron Blade was planning some dastardly plot involving the Wagner Mars Base. Instead, the heroes  TachyonTempestFanatic, and  NightMist confronted the mad Baron and stopped his plot, which turned out to be an elaborate trap for the Parsons - surely, one of them would have fallen in that conflict. However, because of this temporal interruption, neither did.

I made a ridiculous list based on art. I’ll post it in a day or so. One day, I’ll do the same with quotes, but that sounds less fun, more work.

I'm not sure of the environment but GloomSpite and Skinwalker Gloomweaver are foes for the Darkwatch Team

Also, Argent Adept, Nightmist (?) and Parse investigated SkinGloomy as well, according to Updated Intel.

Ra tried to take on the Ennead by himself, and got epicly curbstomped.

Which is funny, because in the game he can basically solo them.

Perhaps he was facing the challenge version?

 

And I do seriously doubt that a solo Ra could deal with The Ennead on normal (that is no other heroes at all, not even incapped to simulate a team).

No, not REALLY, but when I did my Advanced Challenge run he did at least half of the damage to them.

I completely agree he has the damage output to deal with them, but with other heroes on the team he wont be the high/lowest so The Ennead wont always hit him and his team mates can sacrifice stuff to their destruction effects too.

Alone, without other people to take hits, and support him with their effects I think he would be crushed.

I know, I was mostly joking. He got Shreked when he soloed them, but in the actual game he tears them apart.

Okay my list so far:

Akash has battled: Argent Adept, A/Z, Chrono Ranger, the Scholar, Sky Skraper, and Young Legacy after some form or fashion.  He has battled the following in pairs: Argent and Fanatic, Fixer and Ra, Legacy and Expatriot.  Teams Battles?  Almost certainly the Freedom Five, certainly the Prime Wardens.

Omnitron - It's impossible to know which Omnitron fought who, but individuals that battled a version are Omnitron-X, the Naturalist, Haka and Ra.  A/Z and the Bunker have battled him, so that means the Freedom Five.  Argent, Parse and Nightmist fought him in tandem, as did Tempest and Fanatic, which puts the Wardens into play.

Iron Legacy - Various Legacies, sure.  Parse, Visionary, and Haka took a shot at him.  The Sentinels fought him, as did Fanatic and Tempest (meaning probably the Wardens), Fixer with Argent and Expat (probably the Dark Watch... 1 huge battle?).  The Freedom Six obviously fought him (and lost) and Wraith (POF) also fought him with Horus Ra (which suggests a change in Ra's future based on Tactics, right?).  IL  is defeated by Tachyon, Tempest, Fanatic and Nightmist, which is damn close to an ideal team to take him out.

Voss - Argent, Expatriot, Haka, Nightmist, Scholar, Tempest alone. Wraith, Visionary, Haka and Tachyon fought him together, as did the Freedom Five, unless Haka just joined them for that battle.

Dreamer - Was this just one incident?  Argent, Legacy, Tachyon, Chrono Ranger, Scholar, and Wraith were involved in some fashion.  Nightmist and Sky Scraper worked together for this one. Obviosly Visionary, too.

La Capitan  fought the Sentinels, but also the Argent, Nightmist, Sky Scraper, Tachyon and Wraith.  Most of those fit somewhat thematically, but Wraith?  Hm.

Vengeance villains alone or in a group fought every-freaking-body.

Ambuscade fought Bunker, Chrono Ranger, Haka, Parse, Scholar, Setback, Wraith, Tachyon, Ra and the Argent Adept.  Also, he seems to have fought Team Leader Tachyon which implies the Freedom Six.  Did he work for IL?

Infiltrator - Captain Cosmic is obvious, but also Tempest, Sky Scraper and Wraith.  That's conviniently a great team.

Dawn obviously fought the Freedom Five ond Expat.  At other times Chrono Ranger, Captain Cosmic, Knyfe, the Naturalist, Omni-X, Ra, and Visionary battled Dawn.  In pairs Tempest and Wraith, Parse and Redeemer Fanatic also battled Dawn. I never thought of Parse with that Fanatic, but I like it. It also means she wore the armor for more than just the Apostate fight.  I wonder how long it lasted between original and the PW versions.

Gloomweaver fought the Dark Watch and Nightmist, but also Chrono Ranger and Scholar.  Gloomweaver in game doesn't merit that much firepower, but in story...

The Alt Gloomy and Spite - they fought the Dark Watch and the Sentinels.... that's pretty cool, no?  Team Team-up!

Plague Rat wanders around being gross fighting Chrono Ranger, Sky Scraper, Fanatic and Bunker.  Bunker usually means FF, right? It seems likely since Tachyon definitely teamed with Legacy against the Rat.  Visionary, Fixer and A/Z fought the Plague Rat in the most random team up ever.  Wraith and Ra beat up on a giant mouse. And I like to include future Haka here, but that's fairly random.

Baron Blade with his Terralunar Impulson Beam fought the FF with Tempest and Ra.  

Bomber Blade fought Expatriot, Fanatic, Guise, Nightmist, Scholar, Sky Scraper, Unity, Visionary and Guise... unless there are more Blade schemes we don't know for sure.

Apostate obviously fought both  versions of Fanatic, but also the Naturalist, Nightmist, Omnitron-X, and the Scholar.  Redeemer worked with Parse, likely to finally defeat Apostate and send him to the Block.  

The Chairman and the Operatifve fought the Dark Watch, Rook City Wraith, Fixer, Fanatic, Legacy, the Naturalist, and the Sentinels.  

Matriarch fought Haka, the Naturalist, and naturally Tachyon.  Parse and Captain Cosmic worked together against her.

Deadline battled Naturalist, Sky Scraper and Parse.  That's a team I can't wait to run, though I'll add a fourth.

The Ennead fought Ra at least twice and in between fought the Freedom Five and the Sentinels.  They also fought Omnitron-X, Sky Scraper, Unity, the Argent Adept, Legacy and Bunker although obviously the last two vould have just been a Freedom Five battle.  Omnitron-X and the Argent Adept would make fantastic partners for Unity and Sky Scraper.

Kismet fought Omni-X, Haka, Ra, Chrono Ranger, Tachyon, A/Z and Tempest. She battled the pairs Setback and Wraith, Argent Adept and Fanatic (Suggesting PW), Fixer and Nightmist (suggesting DW).

Ms. Info - the Freedom Five are obvious, but she also messes with Parse, Unity and then as a duo, Fixer and Tempest.

Spite fought Wraith, Parse and the Sentinels. That seems too few, but I guess a serial killer is below many of these guys pay grade.

Kaagra - Sky Scraper, Tempest, Tachyon, Argent Adept, Scholar, Expatriot, Chrono Ranger, Knyfe and Haka... the title cards.

Progeny fought Sentinels, Chrono Ranger, Argent Adept,and Knyfe.  He fought duos of Scholar and Expatriot, Parse and Captain Cosmic, Tachyon and Tempest.  Legacy, Nightmist, and Dark Visionary also battled Progeny.  I really want to know more about Dark Visionary.

I also have a list of various Hero teams and where they fought, but I think I've typed quite enough.  Right now, we pick a villain then draft heroes based on the scnario we want.  Hope this helps you guys with new combos and ways to play too.

 

 

Setback also fought Omnitron.  See Sudden Inspiration's art.

Setback also tackles Plague Rat off a roof in one of his cards, and fights him alongside Ra in another.
