Re: The Book of Spider-Girl (Anya) ~ Public testing
Looking real nice here! I'd like to keep her at 190 since that makes a nice even point block with UK, but it's not a huge deal. I don't think these tests warrant an increase quite yet.

Thoughts on the tested unit’s cost, balance, & draftability:
During my playtests Spider-Girl quickly and clearly showcased herself as a key piece in a Spider-folk army. The combination of Web Warriors Leadership and Spider-Agility makes her very mobile, very versatile, and aggressive. Being able to activate somewhat like a Sidekick is very useful, and it allows her to constantly apply her debuffs and sets up some nasty combos which can be very strong. I found Anti-Venom and Spider-Man (C3G) to be her best partners. With Anti-Venom he can patch her up easily, and can be a strong beat stick and tank. Spider-Man can safely pull a key figure away from allies and hit them with 5 attack on height and -3 defense debuff. I think she’s very strong and a centre piece in a spider army. The debuff helps a lot of the spiders’ lower attack stat.
I’d say she’s strong at 190. I could see her maybe getting a slight price increase, but the lack of defensive power that a lot of other spiders have keeps her in check. She quickly becomes a target because of this as evident in the second game. She usually has to commit herself to a fight because 2 move isn’t going far, but a lot of the spiders can make up for this. You have to be careful with her, but she’s very good at what she does. As mentioned earlier I wouldn’t be surprised at a slight price increase, but I think the power here is more coming from her teammates she's set up than her herself.
General thoughts on the tested unit:
Really looking forward to her releasing. Never really tried the spiders until now but them all together is a lot of fun and she brings them all together pretty well. The debuff is really appreciated since a lot of the spiders are 4 attack or less. It’s also quite unique, I don’t recall many or any units having a debuff aura centred on their target instead of themselves, and it got a lot of mileage in my games! Very fun and strong unit!
