Greetings HeroClix Fans!
Today’s DC HeroClix: Streets of Gotham preview brings us a former member of the Global Guardians and Justice League International. From the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, please welcome the Brazilian bombshell Fire!
Fire comes into play at 75 points and has the Justice League team ability. She has a range of six and can target two characters with her ranged attacks. Fire makes a great ranged attacker, particularly on teams that utilize the Checkmate, Global Guardians, Justice League, Justice League International, and Spy keywords.
To represent her sisterly bond with JLI teammate Ice, Fire also hits the battle map with a trait called Fast Friends. With Fast Friends, when Fire carries a character named Ice that has no action tokens, Ice may be given a non-free action the same turn.
Getting Fire into combat shouldn’t be difficult since she starts her dial with a pair of Running Shot clicks in her speed slot as she moves then makes a ranged attack. Those clicks are backed by a trio of Energy Explosion clicks in Fire’s attack slot to represent her flame bursts. Fire also has the Sharpshooter combat ability, which allows her to ignore opposing characters when drawing line of fire and make ranged combat attacks against adjacent opposing characters.
On Fire’s Energy Explosion clicks she also has Energy Shield/Deflection in her defense slot. Fire’s top two clicks also feature a special power in the damage slot. With Firey Form, when Fire takes damage from a close combat attack, the attacker is dealt 1 unavoidable damage in return.
Mid-dial, Fire loses Firey Form but gains Ranged Combat Expert for the remainder of her dial as she cranks up to full power. And on Fire’s last two clicks she drops Energy Explosion in her attack slot and gains Poison as those who get too close start to really feel the heat!
