Bertram chose the odd initiatives and had a fast start, beginning with Connie Webb on turn 1. That enabled him to upgrade to Sarge Steel on turn 2, and his momentum continued on turn 3 with Zazzala ◊ Queen Bee, Mistress of the Hive in the concealed area. Andrew finally had a play, dropping Christopher Smith ◊ Peacemaker in the concealed area. Christopher attacked Sarge Steel and Andrew flipped Rann, Leslie Thompkins’s Clinic, and Brother Eye, using his combat pump locations to narrow the endurance gap.

On turn 4, Andrew recruited Deathstroke the Terminator, Lethal Weapon equipped with Amulet of Nabu, while Bertram had Elimination Protocol ◊ OMAC Robot behind Sarge Steel. Andrew used Christopher Smith’s backup ability on Sarge Steel, and Deathstroke attacked the sergeant. Bertram teamed-up Villains United and Checkmate with Justice United, and Andrew flipped Checkmate Safe House for the same. He used his locations, and Bertram reinforced and stunned Sarge Steel and Zazzala. He decided to lose Zazzala.

Bertram recruited the Annihilation Protocol ◊ OMAC Robot on turn 5, while Andrew had Roy Harper ◊ Arsenal, Knight protecting Deathstroke. Elimination Protocol attacked Deathstroke and Andrew flipped Rook Control, exchanging Roy and Christopher, and then used Christopher to reinforce before the double stun. Annihilation Protocol then attacked Christopher Smith and Andrew used Checkmate Safe House and Defend Yourself! Bertram exhausted Serge Steel to KO Deathstroke the Terminator through Annihilation Protocol’s ability and had Sarge Steel stun. With the initiative, Andrew had Roy attack Annihilation Protocol for a double stun. Both players kept their 5-drops, and Bertram was at 15 endurance to Andrew’s 28.

On turn 6, Andrew flipped Brother I Satellite, searching for the Huntress he equipped with Laser Watch. He also had a Helm of Nabu, which he equipped onto Roy Harper. Bertram played Alexander Luthor, Diabolical Double behind the OMAC Robot. Roy attacked Annihilation Protocol with a power-up and an activation of Rann. Bertram reinforced and allowed his character to stun. Huntress then attacked Alexander Luthor with an activation of Brother Eye, and Andrew followed up with a Blinding Rage, taking the game.
