This Rocket Raccoon Justice build is a deck that turns traditional thwarting into a primary offensive weapon. By stacking permanent and temporary modifiers, you can transform Rocket into a hero capable of clearing entire schemes and deleting villains in a single sequence.
- The "Brains Over Brawn" Damage Loop The heart of this deck is the interaction between Rocket’s THW stat and the event Brains Over Brawn. Because this event deals damage equal to your THW, every point of thwart you add essentially becomes extra ammunition.
The Power of Temporary Modifiers: Events like I've Got a Plan and Making an Entrance provide massive, immediate boosts to your THW.
The Perfect Combo: When you play Making an Entrance, you gain a +2 THW modifier for that thwart. If you use that boosted stat to thwart and then immediately play Brains Over Brawn, that +2 bonus still applies to the damage calculation, allowing for a devastating "one-two punch" before the modifiers expire.
- Maximum Stat Stacking To keep the floor of your damage high, the deck utilizes every available tech and skill upgrade:
Thruster Boots: These are essential, providing a permanent +1 THW while also giving Rocket the Aerial trait.
Permanent Buffs: Heroic Intuition and Heroic Conditioning push your base stats to a level where even your basic activations are threatening.
Specialized Training: Completing this player side scheme is a priority. By choosing the Mission Specialist upgrade, you further increase Rocket's THW cap, making your Brains Over Brawn plays even more lethal.
- The "Infinite Action" & Trap Engine High stats are only useful if you can use them multiple times to close out the game:
The Assist: A huge shout-out to The Charred Gambit for suggesting the C.I.T.T. support! This was the perfect addition to strengthen the deck's goals, giving Rocket a reliable way to ready himself for extra activations every turn.
Readying Effects: Justice Served provides another chance for a ready if you clear all the threat off a scheme.
This is my first time playing Rocket and my first deck build for him; please feel free to let me know if you enjoyed it!
Good catch, Brains Over Brawn is a response, not an action, so the activation loop is still open. I feel like this would be a solid combo with a number of heroes.
