Heroclix How to use a Sideline

[@roryzaugg8351]

Sidelines are awesome. I'm super glad that IDs are done. It was crazy how 5 points could get you a character that will win you the game in one turn.

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Yeah I think we're all happy about that lol I actually used to think they were cool and fun and then they started to get ridiculous around world's finest.

[@supremebean29]

Best info out there. All the other channels I watch are no where near as accurate as you are!

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

[@malinagayton4847]

can you explain iron all father’s trait ability? so he creates his own sideline to choose powers from? in a 300 point team; how many can he have? are there any limits?

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Yeah, so you can have 3 things on your sideline per 100 points of the build total, up to 15 max. This means in a normal 300 point game you can have up to 9 things on your sideline. With iron all father, he can put however many asgardians you want on the sideline (up to the normal sideline limits of course) to choose powers from.

Great video! I just wanted a quick clarification . I have Samurai from the JLU set . Can I just throw him on the sideline with any team? Or do I have to use him with a JLU team? I don't need someone in the match to have trouble alert trait to be able to use him on the sideline?

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

That's right, you can include him on your sideline for any and every team

[@SlashTheWeasel]

Are people sad about the ID card? I decided to watch this video again cause I have only one ID card (Colossus). When does ID card figure go away? And does it count against theme team?

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

They go away at the beginning of your next turn or if they become more than 5 squares away from the character that called them in.

[@mushiotoko]

I have a question. With the new Namor legacy card I can generate characters from the sideline. Can I just put characters in my sideline (up to 9 as I saw in the vid), or do they have to be there by some other effect for me to bring them into the Game?

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

They have to have a reason to be there. Either their own effect or for someone else's. But you could have 9 dolphin symbol characters on your sideline to choose from for namor for example (even though you can only bring in two)

[@mushiotoko]

Thanks!

Question: is spiderman and Venom absolute carnage still on track to be released by the end of this week?

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Yup, supposed to come out Wednesday but some people have got some already apparently.

[@Cleansweep38]

Heroclix Headquarters yeah I saw that on face book and after I questioned it and someone confirmed my statement, the whole post got pulled

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Huh, weird

[@mnstrgrimm8696]

how would dark beast expierment work in termes of theam

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

His experiment on the sideline won't affect your theme in anyway if that's what you're asking

I want to be clear on how this works: say my team with God Emperor Doom, Valeria Von Doom, Franklin Von Doom and Sue Storm (chase), for Sue's sideline I choose Mr Fantastic 40 points, Valeria Richards 40 points and Franklin Richards 65 points which comes to 145 points to 200 points of Valerie, Franklin and Sue. When I activate any of my sideline characters do they have to be equal or less points of who they are replacing for example can I put Franklin Richards 65 points in Valeria Von Doom's place (30 points)? How many times can I switch out characters? Example turn one I put in Mr. Fantastic, turn two is Valeria Von Doom, turn 3 Mr. Fantastic again. Is there limit? I know that once character was activated and is switched out, it can not activate again and on the same number of clicks. Been waiting for this video to show my husband cause I had time explaining it.

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Well it's only a one time thing at the beginning of the game. So no you can't switch someone out at the start of every turn, only once at the very beginning of the game. And you can have any characters of any point values on your sideline but any that you bring in have to be equal or less points than who they're replacing. So if you're replacing only one character then whoever you bring in has to be equal or less points then that character. If you want to replace 2-4 characters then you have to replace them with the same number of characters, and their combined points still has to be equal or less than the combined points of who they're replacing. Just remember that you can never have more points worth of characters than you started with (for this effect at least) hope that helps!

[@joshuagasser]

Do you score the doombots if they ko them

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Yes, each one will be scored normally.

[@joshuagasser]

Gotcha

[@angrybirdbob2881]

I don’t really get the invisible women trait. If I were to switch characters at the beginning of the game, why wouldn’t I just have used them in the first place? It doesn’t let me exceed point values of them. So what’s the point? It’s the same thing as starting with the other characters to begin with

[@HeroclixHeadquarters]

Well in a tournament you can't normally switch your team between rounds so this let's you kind of customize your team depending on what your opponent is playing to have a better chance of winning. Also I just want to note here that sideline rules just got an update so I will have to make an updated video on this subject

[@angrybirdbob2881]

@@HeroclixHeadquarters ohhh that makes so much sense then (I’ve never played in a tournament, only casual with friends). And yeah I’ll be looking out for an updated sidelines video then!
