ALLY OF HOUSE EL
Once per player turn, instead of an attack with a different Unique Hero that is a Champion or Refugee, you may move Wonder Woman and, if that Hero is a Kryptonian, attack with Wonder Woman.

GOLDEN LASSO SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3. Attack 4.
If an opponent's figure would receive one or more wounds from this special attack, you may choose one of the following:
• Ignore those wounds and return control of that figure to its original owner.
• Move that figure one space for each wound inflicted, during which it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
After attacking with this special attack, you may use it one additional time.

AMAZING BRACELET DEFLECTION
Once per player turn, when Wonder Woman or a friendly figure within 3 clear sight spaces of Wonder Woman is attacked by a non-adjacent enemy figure, before defense dice are rolled, you may move Wonder Woman. If she ends this move closer to the attacking figure, the targeted figure adds 1 die to their defense roll against that attack. If excess shields are rolled, the attacking figure receives one wound.

Is it intentional that Golden Lasso hands out LEAs?

EDIT:
Also, do we want to do something like this, or is it overly complex?

If she ends this move closer to the attacking figure than the defending figure is, the targeted figure adds 1 to their defense roll against that attack.

It's kind of weird that if there's an enemy figure 6 spaces away from WW and 3 spaces away from a friendly figure, and that opponent attacks the friendly figure, WW can move 1 space up and "deflect" bullets that she's nowhere near. Might not be worth adding extra complexity though.

Not intended. Probably should change, but I am concerned with text space.

The issue there is that it complicates when she gives herself the boost. I think you its one of those things where maybe she "ran into the path" and came back kind of suspension of disbelief moments.

A few wording updates.

• Move that figure one space for each wound inflicted, ignoring leaving engagement attacks.

If she ends this move closer to the attacking figure, the targeted figure adds 1 to their defense roll against that attack. If the attacking figure is within 3 spaces of Wonder Woman, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure.

I'd really only use Ally of House El to move Wonder Woman up. If you have a Kryptonian there's only a rare need to swap your big Kryptonian attack for a single attack of 5 or a niche special attack. That said it's a very handy power in the early game for moving up for free, especially with the passive defensive bonus WW offers. It'd be fun to open it to all Champions so we get a more active JL Wonder Woman, but I know this is geared towards the Superman Family.

Golden Lasso reverting permanent control is cool theme.

[Arkham]

Close to the attacking figure than the defending figure makes sense.

Otherwise, you could change the name by removing bracelet, and it could also be interpreted that she threw her tiara to deflect the projectile, if that’s something she can do.

Agreed with Archie on opening it up to Champions as preferable.

[LordVenoc]

I'm open to sort of closer language, but closer than the defending figure complicates it when she's the one being attacked and trying to get the bonus.

Could consider opening it to swapping move or attack, but that could obviously get nasty as the attacks get stacked up. As is, she'd actually pair especially nicely in a Family Build with Lois, as she can move in off the bonus turn/attack Lois generates in case Clark actually doesn't have a good target. Going pure Champion there kills the main Superman Family tie for her and just makes her a decent Champion to bring along.

I don't think she's used the tiara like that, but could definitely be wrong.

Disagree. She only deflects if the defending figure defends well enough, which means they may have dodged out of the path of the bullets completely and she took over from there.

[LordVenoc]

I guess an additional question kind of becomes what points does she seem to be at to people. JL Wonder Woman is a comparable point here ultimately, as she's still technically viable as a stat booster in a family build. So I can definitely see how she may definitely feel like she loses out in a 1-1 comparison in terms of what is provided.

[Arkham]

I’d estimate about 260 based for what’s in the SP.

[MrNobody]

Wouldn’t mind her being a lower cost Wondy, since if you’re doing a Supes Family build you’re already investing pretty heavy into Kryptonians.

If the Ally of House El attack isn’t feeling worth it, what if it was switched to 2 unblockables? That almost always feels situationally useful on Gamora II.
