Now you can do it with champs in BoH and SotN and still get 3 free req points

Might even almost concider runsehapers at Def 14-18 and no enemy charges

I fielded Star Crossed (via Wrongeye) + Even Ground in pre-Oblivion themes, to the detriment of a free solo or two. I did not find it to be particularly effective given the short range of Wrongeye's 'bubble' and the need for spread forces in SR zone/play. With SR 2020 potentially requiring even more spread out forces, I don't foresee the combo will be particularly effective except in a caster-kill or attrition scenario. YMMV, and, good luck!

That's a befuddle/countercharge combo, where the Archon locks down and knocksdown.

I think the most important part of befuddle + countercharge is to dramatically increase threat range of the normal charge. Probably no one leaves the caster within 10" of the primal arcon, BUT they might very well leave SOMETHING within 9". Then you can charge up to 9" (depending on angles and such) and THEN you can activate and threat another 10" (excluding beat back and AoE stuff). That is some SERIOUS threat range.

You still need something to finish off what you knock down though, and that is a department that trolls struggle in a bit. a GK is the most obvious piece, but its expensive and not super synergistic...

I was a hipster BEFORE it was cool!

1. We are way off-topic.
2. Do it in Storm and Valka can do the same thing. I had made a funsies list with him and Agata, but this is_way_better.

Not quite a competitive player, yet, mostly because I don't have time to go to tournaments.
