Dive into Marvel Comics’ Cosmology with Marvel HeroClix: Collector’s Trove! Jam-packed with equipment, fan-favorite characters, and all new One-Shot Cards, this set has something for everyone! The Collector’s Collection is famous for having a trove of treasure, and this set is no different with iconic equipment from The Marvel Universe like Stormbreaker, The Cosmic Cube, and The Bloodstone! A stash this valuable is bound to attract unwanted attention though, and burglars like Gambit and The Thieves Guild are here for a try at the score of the century! 

The Guardians of The Galaxy

The Guardians of The Galaxy are back in full force! Teamwork makes the dream work and The Guardians exemplify that mantra to the fullest in this set. Each of them has an effect that grants benefits when other friendly characters with The Guardians of The Galaxy keyword are on the map, making a full team of them devastating! Many players will enjoy adding these characters to The Guardians of The Galaxy teams already in their collection.

Rocket, for example, gives all friendly characters with The Guardians of The Galaxy keyword the Police Team Ability, making their ranged attacks more effective! Furthermore, if there are 3 or more characters on the map with the keyword, they can also use Improved Targeting: Characters while using it, making it much easier to set up attacks On top of that, Rocket has access to Sidestep, Flight and Leadership, making him the perfect piece for keeping The Guardians of The Galaxy in position and in the fray!

For a more offensive example, we have Groot. He serves as a strong close combat fighter, being able to dish out massive hits with his starting damage value of 4 and Super Strength. When he is on a team with at least 3 Guardians of The Galaxy members though, he gains access to a devastating full move charge! This pairs nicely with his Giant Size and Improved Movement: Destroy Blocking, allowing him to open up avenues of attack for the rest of his team with great efficiency. When the battle wears on and Groot would normally get Knocked Out he has one final trick, splintering off Baby Groot to continue the fight!

Split-Dials

Watch as some of comics’ most famous stories unfold on the HeroClix tabletop with flavorful takes on split-dial characters! Nebula starts out as the angry brawler we saw her as early on, charging into battle to deliver devastating blows. When her team needs her most though, she pulls helping friendly characters out of danger with Defend and Support. Winter Soldier begins the game as a decent ranged attacker, but once his code phrase is spoken, he transforms into a cold, driven weapon ready to strike fear into your opponent’s heart! These iconic moments and more are reflected in Collector’s Trove! One such story beat is the iconic moment of Hydra Agents infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. What story will happen on YOUR team?

Infiltrate the map with S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents providing ranged support for your team then, when the time is right, reveal your ruse and have your Hydra agents leap into the fray to get a surge of close combat strength! This figure also allows you to capitalize on the rare combination of the S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra Team Ability, granting an unrivaled amount of support for ranged attacks!

One-Shot Cards

Turn the tables on your enemies in an instant with all new One-Shot Cards! Each of these cards can be used by anyone on your team for a one-time burst of power. You’ll need to time the use of your One-Shot Cards wisely though, since they are unique and can only be used once per game. Will you use them to set up a devastating attack? Perhaps you will save them to rescue a character from a sticky situation. Or maybe you will build a team around one, capitalizing on its effect to do something entirely unique! Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect from them with Evil Entwinement:

Evil Entwinement allows you to choose a friendly and opposing character to force into a staredown, neither being able to move until your next turn without taking a devastating 2 unavoidable damage! Use it to give your team time to clear action tokens, prevent a slippery opponent from getting away, or perhaps try to bend the rules of your “pact” and force the opposing character that is entwined to move! Whichever way you choose, this card can prove devastating when used in the right context. Evil Entwinement also has the Darkhold tag, meaning it has some special interactions with certain figures like Doctor Strange!

Fielding Doctor Strange allows you to add 3 Darkhold Oneshots to your sideline without paying their cost and without using Sideline slots. His master of the Darkhold’s pages also allows him to turn their downsides into benefits, getting a Free Action attack off after he takes damage from one. Furthermore, if an opposing character uses Outwit or Perplex when within Dr. Strange’s range, you can turn a face down One-Shot card face up, allowing you to use its effect an additional time! On top of that he has a full dial of Probability Control, as well as a strong suite of offensive powers making for a well rounded piece.

With characters and artifacts from all corners of The Marvel Universe converging on The Collector’s Collection, this set is guaranteed to be one to remember! Add these pieces and more to your personal collection by ordering Collector’s Trove boosters and other products, in stores this fall!
