AMG has revealed the new Sabretooth, Apex Predator Marvel Crisis Protocol character card, and rules from the Rival Panel: Weapon X Program set!
Rival Panel: Weapon X Program
Sabretooth, Apex Predator Character Card & Rules
Some things never change, and Victor’s Claw Slash attack is the one to worry about when he enters the tabletop. As per usual, it’s a Range 2 Strength 5 attack that generates Power equal to the Damage dealt. It also keeps its signature single Wild trigger, from which it gains Pierce (costing the target one of their successes in the defense roll) and inflicts the Bleed special condition.
But some things DO change, and this Apex Predator has developed an all-new attack: Bloodthirsty Onslaught! This Range 3, Strength 6 attack only costs him 2 Power. After resolving the beatdown, he will Place himself within Range 1 of the target character. And because he’s a man of specific tastes, it has the same single Wild trigger for Pierce and Bleed that can be found on Claw Slash.
It’s good to see Claw Slash still being nice and strong. Bloodthirsty Onslaught is also pretty good, with a range of three and a place one that will hopefully rip through enemies! Lastly, with his normal healing factor of one, he’s shaping up to be quite a pain in the neck for your opponent.
And just to remind everyone who should really be watching out for him, Sabretooth gets to use his favorite nickname for Logan with Catch, Runt! This 3-Power Active superpower will send any enemy of Size 3 or less sailing Medium away from him with a powerful Throw. Then to follow it up, Sabretooth can spend another 3 Power to use Primal Pounce and close the newly-opened distance, by Throwing himself Medium. He’s more dexterous than he looks, and won’t suffer any Damage from this maneuver.
If the rest of his abilities were not enough to signal that his primary goal is murder, he can drop 4 Power on the Active superpower Stop Squealing and Die to add 3 dice to the next claw-related attack on his turn.
He’s not a very subtle character, as it should be! All his attacks are made to rush headlong in and just tear people up. For four power, it’s expensive, but Stop Squealing and Die will add three dice, which will push both his attacks over the top.
Lastly, he can even throw smaller characters for a standard cost of three power, so overall just a real combat monster!
