NAME = STRONGHOLD
SECRET IDENTITY = EDWARD SEDGWICK
SPECIES = PSIOT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = DISCIPLE
PERSONALITY = LOYAL

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 195


MATTER SIPHON
Start the game with 2 red Fission Markers on this card. Whenever a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Stronghold is attacked and receives no wounds, you may place a Fission Marker on this card, to a maximum of 5. Whenever Stronghold would receive exactly 1 wound, you may remove a Fission Marker to ignore that wound.

BIOFISSION SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4 + Special.
Before attacking with this special attack, you may remove any number of Fission Markers from this card. For each marker removed, you may choose one of the following:
•roll 2 additional attack dice.
•choose a figure adjacent to the targeted figure to be affected by this attack.
•your opponent rolls 1 fewer defense die for each shield rolled.
Each option may only be chosen once per attack.

Alright, no changes here really from the LCW. Plan is that he will round out an army with Harada and Ion at 900, so he's liable to be in the low 200s range for points as the loose target right now. He's by far one of the most destructive Psiots in the foundation. He's longstanding as a part of Harada's Eggbreakers, and is a part of his forces throughout Imperium.

For Master Siphon should that be a figure you control or a friendly figure? Also, took me a couple of readthroughs to really understand what you were saying there. Like first read through seems like if Stronghold attacked a figure more than 4 spaces from him he would get a marker.

Idea was siphoning off attacks on figures near him. The big idea was more toward the enemy special attacks on Harada deterrent. Open figure language let him pull it off of ally Special attacks as well (similar to Ion working on both phases as well). I think it mostly depends on the power level goal there, but I do like that him really only being able to pull on attacks on allies simplifies the language.

It also was complicated by not wanting to give him a marker off of his own attacks.

Well I think you could simplify and maintain mostly the same wording.

MATTER SIPHON
Once per player turn, after attack dice are rolled for any other figure other than Stronghold attacking a figure within 4 spaces of Stronghold, you may place one red Fission Marker on this card for each blank rolled, to a maximum of 4. Before moving with Stronghold, you may remove a Fission Marker to roll an unblockable attack die against an adjacent figure.

Updated the SP with that text. If there are no more thoughts here I'll probably propose Initial later today. Want to get a few games of him in general Psiot builds to help hone in general feel, but wouldn't wrap the initial without some Harada games under my belt.

Zatanna II is probably a pairing worth exploring. Concern is that the streakiness of his resource generation will make it so that in a lot of games he’s killed essentially before he had any real use of his powers.

Zatanna II doesnt work on Special Attacks, so she doesnt provide any benefit here.

Which was meant to only trigger on Special Attacks, but that apparently got lost somewhere between my brain and the current moment :p
