HeroClix: The Rat King Arrives
The Heroes in a Half-Shell set is out today – let’s take a look at one of its villains!
The Rat King has gone through some awkward stages over the years, but the version in the 2011 comic series depicted him as being a terrifying force.
A 100-point piece with 6 clicks of life, Rat King is all about board control and misdirection. He possesses Improved Movement – Ignores Hindering Terrain, as well as a trait called Rats Everywhere…I am Everywhere. This trait states that you may give Rat King a free action if he occupies hindering terrain. When you do, you may then place him in another square of hindering terrain within 6 squares. Played on the right map, Rat King is nearly impossible to keep in one place!
Rat King also has a collection of standard powers that will frustrate your opponents! If his Mind Controldoesn’t work out, Rat King has a Plan B in the form of Poison! If an opposing character does manage to pin him down, they’ll be paying the price with 1 click of damage. Furthermore, he also has Super Senses, giving him a chance to completely avoid taking damage with a lucky roll. Later in his dial, Rat King can use Phasing/Teleport to avoid combat, Outwit to counter powers, Shape Change to prevent attacks, and Regeneration to potentially heal back up to the top half of his dial!
