How to Play MARVEL CHAMPIONS the Card Game | Expert Mode Rhino 

@James Baker Once Tony goes full Iron Man, he can dish out A LOT of damage!! Hope you enjoy your copy and glad I was able to help get you playing quickly!! :)

She can be very powerful! Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks! Captain Marvel and Iron Man can definitely put out some damage with a little set up. :)

Thanks!! Much appreciated!

Thanks! Mistakes will happen, and as a solo-player, I don't have anyone else to keep me in line during play ... but I do try to correct if possible, or place a note if I catch it during editing. I'm hoping an official FAQ comes out soon by Fantasy Flight Games as there are some clarifications needed, especially concerning play with Ultron from what I've seen about timing. But I'm really enjoying this game!!

My pleasure! Glad they have helped. I'm really enjoying the game, and there is a lot to keep track of, so have fun! :)

There are some good allies in the Leadership aspect, along with ways to bring them back out again! :)

@fabiofax1 Hello Italy!! Thanks for watching!! :)

@John Brown Thanks, very much appreciated! :)

Thanks! I hope your games are epic too!

I think they still hold up. :)

Iron Man is very confident ... even though it takes a while to put his suit on. ;)

@Mark Spitzig Thanks for watching and becoming a member! Very much appreciated! :) I've got 2 or 3 losses somewhere posted, of course one was against Klaw using Heroic 3 just to see how bad it could go ... and it went bad. When I first started playing, I would practice before recording, so I missed some opportunities to show some horrible losses ... like losing 1st turn against Rhino using Iron Man, I only got one upgrade and chose to stay Alger-Ego to draw 6 instead of 2 cards. Rhino schemed, and then Advance! for the 1st turn loss. More recently, I record every play, but choose my fights wisely. Starting with Standard and then work my way to Expert. That way I learn how the hero plays before really putting them to the test. Now in my play group, we were probably 50/50 before, but after going through these campaigns, we are learning to work better as a group. Hope that helps, and good luck in your games!!

ANTON DELPORT Thanks!! And oops! You are correct. IronMan cheated! ;) Being stunned or confused does impact cards that attack or stun. I missed it, sorry for the confusion.

Not to add to the insult or anything, but the helmet also removes 1 threat from each scheme if he has the aerial trait, not 2 threat from one scheme. Luckily it didn't affect gameplay, though.

Thanks! And you’re right, I don’t think I “Rechanneled” at all.

That’s because it is so good. :)

Correct! Also Hero or Alter-Ego actions cannot be used on other players turns.

@@DaletheCasualGamer I guess they can. Cannot Carol Danvers use her draw a card in other player's turn?

Glad these are helping! Good luck in your games! :)

This rule is written in the reference guide, not in the rulebook. I learnt it watching a playthrough video too. 🙂

Thanks for watching! The "Guard" ability only effects the Hero it is engaged with, so Captain Marvel was free to punch Rhino around ... Iron Man was the only one that had to deal with the Guard. Hope that helps. And yes, when dealing with Rhino, it's good to keep some health on an ally ... just in case! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Ah ok. I realize I have "solo" reflexes. 😁😁😁

@Sascha Kleiber Thanks for watching. I've put a couple in there, but will try to start putting my deck lists in there for new plays. marvelcdb.com/user/profile/3977/dalethecasualgamer

@Mark Tizard Some characters and aspects can play during the villain phase. Protection has several cards, and Black Widow does a lot of her stuff during the villain phase. Along with the villain potentially having you discard cards. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

@Vish Ganti. I’d recommend whichever hero you like best! I’m a Captain America fan and enjoy using him. Who is your favorite Avenger?

It is, you get two additional cards. There are cards that cancel when revealed effects, so potentially you could just get the surge ... and then there are better cards that cancel everything on the card. So hope your hero has that one. ;) Hope that helps, and good luck! :)

@V H You can put cards (upgrades/supports) into play, just can't use the "action" until you are in the correct form. Hope that helps!

No, threat on side schemes are just for themselves. Hope that helps and happy gaming!

@@DaletheCasualGamer It does. But as my cards are packed away, does the side scheme have a success condition? Such as damage to hero or bonuses to Villain or such?

Thanks for watching! Sounds good to me! Boot wants you to spend a resource and Pepper can be exhausted to generate a resource. :)

Yes, you can use your hero ability, attack or thwart with your hero, then flip over and use you alter-ego ability. :)

@adam Valentino. Welcome to Marvel Champions! The card is a boost effect for the attack, so if the attack is ignored, no card is needed. Hope that helps and good luck! :)

Thank you for the quick reply. Just 1 more question. When you exhaust your deck, you trigger a encounter card. In your video you drew the encounter, finished filling your deck to the amount Ironman is allowed and waited till the end of the villain faze to determine that encounter card. Should it not be resolved right away, before you even draw the rest of your cards?

Encounter cards are only resolved during that phase of the villain turn, so not immediately when you go through your deck. :)

@bryan weezenbeek Thanks for watching! Your upgrades are "extra actions" and work no matter what power you use for your hero. Hope that helps, and good luck! :)

Yes. Whenever the villain attacks or schemes, a boost card is drawn. Good luck!

I didn’t realize that either. My poor heroes! Lol

The card does state to discard it to deal the damage. Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)

Haha thx need to pay more attenction

@T PA Yes, and I feel safe in saying a couple are online. When I first started playing, I would practice with each deck before recording ... and that cost me not recording a loss that I wish I had recorded. First turn loss with Iron-Man against Rhino I in standard mode. I remember only drawing into one tech upgrade and thought, I can survive one round before turning over ... He schemed for 4 and then the encounter card ... Advance! for 3 ... GAME OVER! Now I typically always record when playing solo, so unless I make a huge mistake, it will get posted ... so I've chosen my fights wisely, and been lucky. As a "Casual Gamer" I do only play Standard and Expert and don't delve into Heroic mode (unless I'm feeling a bit insane). I play to relax, not panic. :) Hope that helps, and good luck!

Thanks! He is still good to use equipment while exhausted, along with using Hero Actions. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Iron Man is slow to get started ... but packs a punch late game!! :)

@Jeff Voss They are UberStax and for purchasing information check out www.uberstax.com . I use them with most of my games and next to sleeves, is my most used gaming accessory. I also did a video highlighting them at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HBNRANBuKS4.html . Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

Iron man has a base hand size of 1 plus 1 for each tech upgrade. Hope that helps. Happy gaming!

@@DaletheCasualGamer I read that but you counted Ironman himself as an upgrade. Is he ?

Iron Man is not an upgrade. If you have a time-stamp, let me know. When counting, I count his card as 1 (as that is his hand size), and then each upgrade as a +1.

@@DaletheCasualGamer ah ok. you counted it at one. I m an idiot ;)

Unique allies are allowed 1 per deck, but you could not have multiple of the same unique character in play at the same time. Hope that helps and happy gaming!

Once the card is played, you add the +6 health to your dial, same as playing Endurance, you immediately add the 3 health to your character. It's actually like putting on armor, it immediately provides the bonus protection. Check "Gets" in the rules reference. Hope that helps and happy gaming.
