Category of Game Elements

In addition to the above game elements, all Additional Team Abilities (ATAs) will be rotated from Modern Age play as well.

Commentary:

The rotation of ATAs has been anticipated by players for several years now, and with new rules coming, that time is now. We last “regularly” did ATAs with DC HeroClix: Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, more than 3 years ago. We have had a few convention or other special ones released since, but none released with new sets. Like Feats and Battlefield Conditions and Relics before them, at one point ATAs were a routine part of the game, but none are planned for the future, and it’s appropriate (perhaps overdue) to rotate them out of Modern Age at this time. One of the primary intentions of rotation is to keep the game fresh, and allowing the same ATAs to be Modern Age-legal forever was interfering with that intention.

ATAs are new player unfriendly, and part of the piling up of many added effects on a single character that we’re trying to move away from. They can be tricky to balance and can impact the metagame significantly, and they focus the game too much on game elements off the map. There’s several reasons that this change has been long planned, and it almost happened with last year’s rotation, but we felt it best to have it alongside the other changes to the rules to provide additional context.
