Hide From The Hulk Destruction Guide: Routes and Mobility
Plan around a changing environment
- Main idea: Treat destruction as a reason to keep your route flexible, rather than assuming the position you chose will stay useful.
- Known movement options: Dr Strange links two portals; Cyclops can push himself backward with his propulsion beam.
- Decision: Choose a movement option for where it leaves you, not simply for getting away from the current spot.
Why destruction changes your plan
Hide From The Hulk asks you to survive destruction while fighting the opponent. That makes the environment part of the encounter, rather than a background you can ignore once you find a comfortable position. Keep thinking about the route you would use if the current space stopped working.
The useful question is where you can act next. Dr Strange’s paired portals are one concrete example of changing your route rather than relying on the original position. The demonstration below shows placing both ends and moving through them, including an example around an elevator route.
Separate a position from an escape route
A position is where you are contributing now. An escape route is the direction or movement option you expect to use when that position becomes difficult. Treat them as separate decisions. A good place to attack from can still become a poor place to stay.
If your only route depends on the encounter remaining exactly as it is, choose another position before you commit. This is especially useful when several players are using the same space. A route that looked open when you arrived may become crowded as the fight moves.
Avoid building a plan around an assumed permanent shelter. You can use the surroundings without promising that every wall, doorway or elevated spot has the same behavior. Keep your attention on the usable space and the actual direction of the fight.
| Option | What it does | What to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Dr Strange: Sling Ring | Links two placed portals for movement. | Choose both ends so the destination helps your next move. |
| Cyclops: propulsion beam | Pushes the player backward for mobility. | Check the space behind you before using the movement. |
Choose the destination before the movement
With a paired portal, setting the first end is only part of the route. The second end determines where you arrive. Place the pair with a reason to use that destination, rather than treating any teleport as an improvement. After crossing, continue the plan from the new position.
Cyclops’s propulsion moves the player backward, so the available space behind the character matters. Use that movement to reach somewhere useful instead of choosing it simply because you want to leave the current pressure. A move that changes your position still needs a sensible destination.
These are different kinds of mobility. One connects two locations; the other changes your position through backward movement. Neither description is a promise of invulnerability, unlimited range or a guaranteed escape from every encounter.
Keep the next route flexible
When the environment or the fight changes, update the plan instead of waiting for the old position to become comfortable again. You may need another direction, more space between players or a different moment to rejoin the encounter. Preserve the useful idea behind your route without insisting on the same exact spot.
The destruction escape guide focuses on the immediate decision when a route becomes unusable. Use the survival guide when the wider problem is staying involved without overcommitting.
A practical improvement for your next session is to name the destination before using a movement option. You should know what you want the new position to let you do: recover space, follow the fight or continue toward another route. That turns movement into a useful decision instead of a reaction without a next step.
