For consideration, here's an early draft of powers that was partially discussed in the Discord:

FIRST STRIKE
When Order Marker 1 is revealed on the [Blazing Firecats], add 2 to their Move number and 1 extra attack die for that turn.

Borrowed from the Varkaanan Swiftfangs, it also pays homage to their Magic roots.

WATER WEAKNESS
A [Blazing Firecat] on a water space rolls 2 fewer defense dice.

Alternatively "Negative Element" from the Fire Elemental that completely eliminates their Defense on water.

LAVA RESISTANT
[Blazing Firecats] never roll for molten lava damage or lava field damage and they do not have to stop in molten lava spaces.

This one kinda feels like a must-include.
I agree that Water Weakness and Lava Resistant are almost required. Also IMHO these guys should be 7 move (or 8 without a move power), as they seem really fast. For 3rd power 1st strike seems OK, although maybe change it slightly:

STRIKE FIRST
Each [Blazing Firecat] that did not start it's turn engaged may move 1 additional space and may roll 1 extra attack die for that turn.
Wording could be cleaned up a bit, but this to me seems more like a first strike ability.
