Published 2022-02-07
In this video we'll be going over how to use Professor X from X-Men Rise and Fall to replace or "swap out" on X-Men teams. As well as look at who you should be using to both swap into the team and swap out of the team.

    I love this. I had pulled the Swap magneto and was wondering how to make him work to his fullest. Definitely gonna have to pick up a Prof. X and man I love that Wolverine 😭
  • @kida9598
    You can krokoan revival a cable and only use 10 points to revive them.
  • Good clarifications dude, epic. Also Jubilee is now a mom? Man I was far from home to much time.
  • @MikeHolla27
    Nice job on the video. 2 questions: 1. Where in the rules does it talk to the opponent being able to control the order of beginning of game effects (in reference to generating Lockheed). 2. Why won't Wolverine's beginning of game effect trigger after the resolution of the team swap? Isn't it still beginning of the game? Thanks!

    Totally unrelated to swap mechanic, but in reference to that Kate Pryde, i like her alot! Have you ever seen anyone run her with a star jammer pirate theme team? Her, Ch'od, Raza, Hepzibah & Waldo look sick on paper...2 taxis, all the star jam synergy plus pirate energy steal, plus all the pesky bystanders that Kate, Ch'od & Waldo drop. I really want to play this team, think it would be a lot of fun and effective. #PiratePryde arrrrrrrrr!
  • @kida9598
    I use the cables and professor x with the cables and I use the team up card for magneto and play the A chase from house of x.

    Would this ability work once you swap them out? Krakoa: STRATEGICALLY-PLACED SAFE HAVENS: At the beginning of the game, generate 5 Safe Haven hindering terrain markers anywhere on the map at least 5 squares from any starting area and each other. // Friendly characters with the X-Men keyword that are adjacent to Krakoa or occupy one of his Safe Haven markers have "POWER: Place this character adjacent to Krakoa or in the square of one of his Safe Haven markers." // Friendly characters with the X-Men keyword have [Improved Movement: Hindering].
  • This is definitely helpful. But I feel like you hand-waved your way through an actual example swap. I think it's instructional to show your example starting force, show an example opposing force, and then walk through your rebuild options with what you have. Also, I just started practicing with swap teams and haven't gone up against another swap team. How does swap team vs swap team work? Do you just double-blind and check your math?
  • Great vid and always so helpful ,thank you! Maybe a 300 point build for newbs?Lol! I have most of empyre (only missing the hot chases and primes) but I would love some help with a build.also have blackheart and hox jug and prime vulcan
  • I would love to see a video on the same topic using the Fantastic Four Invisible Women!
  • Amazing vídeo men! Could You do something like this but whit a Magneto's swap team? Also which characters whit this or Magneto swap team could give some cool begining of the Game Bonus if we go Golden and everything goes
  • @thomasw8074
    awesome video, I knew some of these but not all. So is it a cumulative points? Also, could professor x swap himself out assuming your the controlling player?
  • Hey HQ, is that move with Wolverine still possible? where he does not select a mark so is untargetable... I was thinking that if you swap him that way and equip him with new Cloak of Levitation, then you could TK and walk him to the enemy team, specially to the opponent's main attacker and stick that attacker to Wolverines plasticity. They will be unable to target him in any way (as there is no "mark") and only option for them would be trying to roll breakaways of 6 that you could prob to prevent. While that is happening, your other attackers could go after the rest of the team or attack from far. What do you think?
  • Question, can professor x swap himself out with his trait? Or only other friendly characters? My other question i have for an idea is how does he interact with the LE magneto from dark phoenix saga? At the beginning of the game magento can remove himself and an opposing character from the map for a few turns, does this mean you could remove a character from play then use professor x to swap magneto still and get an extra piece on the board while you remove an opponents piece for a few turns?
  • @devinmh9125
    What happens if i have an equipment attached to a character that im swapping out , can i attach the equipment to a new character?
  • @kida9598
    I tried to put the goodie bags onto the team and then swap the blue cake deadpool out but my opponent said the goodie bags are lost when I swap out. What you think?
  • @kida9598
    Hey what if I used two cables during the swap? Like would I be able to add another character if I I'm short in points?
  • @bookys1237
    Hey I’m just getting into heroclix, what would you recommend I buy for a starter set?
