HELP beating Villain side Reichsman!!!

We are fighting him now in a MO Barracuda SF, he keeps going UNBREAKABLE and healing up to 80% hp. How do we stop this?

Quit the strike force. Find a Defender or Mastermind and replace one of your existing members. When you get back to Reischman make sure that they use their Power of Black Scorpion to stop his phasing (at least I think that's what you need to do).

EDIT The other option is more damage but temp powers don't work on a MO run so most of the options there are out.

Yah, in the other thread, you were told that you can get by without a MM or Defender... but not so much on a Masters run where you can't pop out some Shivans or drop a Warburg Missile on him for the massive DPS you need when Unbreakable isn't up.

In general, I would never do a Barracuda w/o a Def/MM, Masters or not.

If you dont know how this TF works, why are you doing the MO of it? Surely I wouldnt feel ready for an MO if I hadnt done it a few times before.

We tried an MoCuda yesterday - was lucky enough to get a friend who'd done this tf a zillion times. He told me we needed an MM or a Defender - but never said why. I found out after that temp powers are distributed according to AT.

I cannot fathom for the life of me why they introduced this mechanic. Sadly, I wasn't subbed when this tf was introduced, or I might have tried to discourage it.

In any event, yeah, doing an Mo without at least one member to give instructions seems a little insane to me. But, with incarnate powers, almost all of it should be trivial with a full team.

How'd it turn out?

Presumably they did it because MMs and Defenders weren't getting invited.


This SF used to be the worst one in the entire game aside from the final battle in RSF under Atlas.

With 4 of us, we managed to beat this no Defender or Mastermind. Granted it took several hours of beating him down but we did it.

This TF is horrible and the mechanic needs to be changed.

For that amount of time you coulda waited for an mm or def to help even if you had to wait for that player to finish his/her mission. With mm/def in tow, the sf can be done in 40 - 60 mins.
On every team that ive been on that claimed they can overcome reich, there's a misconception that vill reich is the same as hero reich. On teams that think that way, it resulted in 2+ hrs of mind numbing button mashing and the eventual team quitting. It is a waste of time to go w/o a mm/def since the chances of finishing is very very low.
