Welcome to Avengers Vs X-Men season! Participation in the first month of the event gets you the newest Heroclix resource, The Phoenix Force!

First of all, the resource dial itself is 12 points. The Phoenix Fragments, which you get as participation prizes at AvX events, cost 3 points each. You can assign the dial to 1-5 figures (that cost at least 40 points each) when you build your team, and it will cost you 3 points per figure assigned to it. You may have more fragments than characters assigned to the dial, but you can’t have more figures assigned to it than fragments attached - you need at least 1 fragment per figure assigned.

So, to simplify:

12 points for the dial

3 points per fragment

3 points per character

At its cheapest, it’s 18 points for 1 fragment and 1 character. If you wanted 2 fragments and 1 character, it’ll cost you 21 points. Two fragments and 2 characters is 24 points, etc.

The dial is separated into 5 groups. The group you start on depends on how many characters and Fragments you have assigned to the dial. At the start of the game, remove the Fragments from the dial and place them on the character cards assigned to the dial.

If you start the game with zero fragments still attached, you start in the group with the blue number 0 (the first group); if you start with one fragment still attached, you’d start in the group with the blue number 1, and so on.

Every figure assigned to the dial can use the powers and stat bonuses shown on the dial - in the picture above, all assigned figures would get a +1 to movement, Quake, and Toughness. If a stat bonus appears with a box around it, the assigned figures get the bonus to all combat values (speed, attack, defense, damage, and range).

In game, you’ll turn the dial occurs when the following circumstances occur:

When you roll doubles on a successful attack, after all effects resolve, turn the dial one click

When you KO an opposing character, after all effects resolve, turn the dial one click

If a friendly character with a Fragment gets knocked out, after all effects resolve, turn the dial five clicks to the next group

You cannot turn the past the fifth click of the group you started in, unless a friendly character with a Fragment has been KO'ed.

When a friendly character with a fragment is KO'ed, return the Fragment to the resource dial. At the beginning of your turn, you may choose one Fragment attached to the dial - assigned characters may use that Fragments abilities this turn.

Finally, when you KO an opposing character with a Fragment, you score an additional 6 points. If you defeat an opposing team with the Phoenix Force dial, you score 12 points for the dial and 3 points for any Fragment on it that wasn’t assigned to an opposing character.

Good luck in AvX!
