The first way that a Location card can be used is as a Home Base. To use a Location card as a Home Base, first look at the Character List on the Location card you wish to use. Each Character on your team must appear on the Character List of the desired Location card (see Character cards). If you have one or more Characters on your team that do not appear on the desired Location card, then that particular Location card may not be used as a Home Base with that particular team. If all four Characters on your team appear in the Character List on the desired Location card then that particular Location card may be used as a Home Base. In addition, any team of Characters that is listed on a Location card is considered a legal team for tournament deckbuilding while using that Location card as a home base (See Sum Deck Rule).

Home Base

The first way that a Location card can be used is as a Home Base. To use a Location card as a Home Base, first look at the Character List on the Location card you wish to use. Each Character on your team must appear on the Character List of the desired Location card (see Character cards). If you have one or more Characters on your team that do not appear on the desired Location card, then that particular Location card may not be used as a Home Base with that particular team. If all four Characters on your team appear in the Character List on the desired Location card then that particular Location card may be used as a Home Base. In addition, any team of Characters that is listed on a Location card is considered a legal team for tournament deckbuilding while using that Location card as a home base (See Sum Deck Rule).

Once you have assembled a team of Characters, and chosen a Home Base that corresponds to those Characters, then your team must use the Inherent Ability for that particular Location card (See Inherent Ability). The Location card's Inherent Ability may be used in addition to any Inherent Abilities that might appear on any of the Character cards of the Characters on your team.

Remember, it is not necessary to use a Location card as a Home Base in order to play OverPower. In fact, some of your favorite teams may not even be listed in the Character Lists of any of the Location cards. If your team of Characters does not correspond to any given Location card, simply do not use a Location card as a Home Base.

Battlesite

The second way that a Location card can be used is as a Battlesite. To use a Location card as a Battlesite, first look at the Character List on the Location card you wish to use. No Character on your team may appear on the Character List of the desired Location card (see Character cards). If you have one or more Characters on your team who appear on the desired Location card, then that particular Location card may not be used as a Battlesite with that particular team. If none of the four Characters on your team appear in the Character List for the desired Location card, then that particular Location card may be used as a Battlesite. If you are using a Location card as a Battlesite, then the Inherent Ability listed on that particular Battlesite is not used and should be ignored. Inherent Abilities on Location cards are only used when using the Location card as a Home Base. However, A Location card that is used as a Battlesite does allow you to use Special cards for Characters who are not currently on your team (See Special cards) These Special cards are put beneath the Battlesite during Set Up. There are, however, a few rules regarding what Special cards may be used:

  • Only Special cards that are for Characters listed on the Character List of the Battlesite may be used.
  • Only One "One Per Deck" Special may be used per Battlesite, regardless of how many different Characters' Specials you choose to use.
  • Other Special cards must be considered unique per Battlesite. Meaning, even if the Special is not a "One Per Deck" Special, you may only have one of that exact Special for that exact Character beneath your Location.
  • For each Special card beneath your Battlesite, an Activator card corresponding to that Special MUST be included in your deck (See Activator cards). Meaning, if you choose to put three Special cards for Spider-Man under the Daily bugle Location card, then you must put three Spider-Man Activator cards in your deck.
