Great showing by Kara. Her defense was phenomenal, and with some attack boosting she was a decent hitter. Unfortunately her batteries didn't play a factor after her initial attack, where she wiped out Iron Fist in one shot, losing both her markers, then never got them back as her defense was on point.

Pretty close game in the end. Kara didn't do as much damage this time around, and her defense came back down to reality. Her Reckless Rage ended up causing her more harm than good as it killed her, and didn't do much for her offensively.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
I think she's pretty fun. Her Reckless Rage mechanic is interesting, in my games it hurt her more than helped her, which is probably thematic. Of course that's all a dice roll luck factor, so it could really help her as well. Defensively she can still be a beast. The marker system feels slightly underwhelming just because it feels like she loses them so quickly out of the gate, then maybe get them both back one more time in the game. However, I don't think it's necessarily something needing changed, she felt good to me. It'll be interesting to see how the faction shakes out in the end and how she performs with her other Red Lanterns. 370 felt pretty accurate based on the 2 close games.
