Featured Team: Iron Patriot & Modern Armor Thor

Iron Patriot (Tactician):
ISO-8:  8 Steady
21-Gun Salute if you have 2 or more charge stacks and their team is still up.  Overcharge to follow it with more of the same next turn.  If down to 1 or 2 targets, you can overcharge into Repulsor Cannon instead to kill off a single target instead.  Only use Plasma Blade if you have no other options available to you.

Modern Armor Thor (Bruiser OR Blaster):
ISO-8:  8 Steady
Thor is very simple:  If you don't have strengthened, use Inspire Bravery to gain strengthened, then Call Thunder and ruin their team.  If they have an area protect up like Omega Sentinel or Rescue, or have Phased targets, use single target attacks like Hammer Throw and save your Inspire Bravery until the protector is dead or the targets are unphased.

Generalist Agent
ISO-8:  8 Violent / 8 Steady (lower levels)
Power of Four OR Protect Item
Maggia "Triggerman"
Neurotrope
Scroll of Angolob

Say hello to my little friend!  Use your quick action items and then spray bullets like it's going out of style!  Infiltrator can also work instead of generalist.  Only use Power of Four if you're sure you can hit everyone (aka the protector is dead).  I might still leave Power of Four on for defense, and hope to get there.

The other option is to replace Power of Four with a protect item, and try to use your Agent to soak up attacks and allow Iron Patriot or Thor another barrage, and triggering "Triggerman" counterattacks along the way.  If I went that route, I would likely use Infiltrator's armor instead of Generalist.

Budget Setup:
Custom Posessed Pistol / Custom Goblin Glider
Sudden Support
Curative Reach
Damage Amplifier

This Agent wants to kill people, plain and simple.  Attack, and hit extra hard, with your quick action supporting items to allow you to make huge hits and finish off weakened targets that your team of AOE murder machines left behind.

Summary

Strengths

This team is a glass cannon:  You spend all your resources trying to make sure they're dead before you are.  Explosive damage potential and not much survivability is the name of the game.  You want an aggressively slanted armory, and as many Blasters and Scrappers as you can recruit to support this kind of team.  (Obviously any hero bonus is good, but still, priority should be towards aggressive bonuses.)  On the bright side, this team will often demolish some teams even on defense, due to the burst damage nature of the team.

Counters

Phoenix and Shadowcat are very hard to kill in tandem with this team, as are agents with Sinister Scepter:  basically, any team that can blank your initial assault can be brutal.  Rescue going before Thor often results in a greatly reduced damage output as well.  If you're up against this team, stripping Might of Mjolnir off of Thor and having ways to remove debuffs can quickly make this team irrelevant, as the AI often uses Full Overcharge at poor times leaving Iron Patriot out of options and letting you burn down Thor before he gains his full offensive potential again.
