Character Bio - Faith Herbert is a superhero with the ability to fly and bring others with her. She has been part of the Renegades, a group of young psiots led by Peter Stanchek, who rebel against Toyo Harada and his Harbinger Foundation. Initially she tried to get the group to utilize superhero code names, with Zephyr being her chosen moniker, but the Renegades didn't take to that idea.

For her daytime job as a journalist in Los Angeles she created the alter ego "Summer Smith", wearing glasses and a red wig to complete the disguise. Currently, Faith is in a romantic relationship with Obadiah Archer. (valiant.fandom.com)

This should hopefully be a bit of an easier one. Hoping maybe 100 points tops? She's relatively comparable to Vulture, so I'm hoping she keeps in that ballpark.

I did update Companion Field Carry to remove the unengaged clause and added Spidey's suggestion of letting her carry someone who started next to her.

I'm thinking move does need to come down one. Reading more, she's not typically a very fast flyer, and she definitely wouldn't be moving six if she lost her flight.

Does the guy you’re planning that can copy Psiot SAs have Flying?

No, but he can copy it. I figure throwing in Copying any Flight or Super Strength the target has along with the SA copy is still a lot cleaner than it would have been without the foresight. Archer has 100% copied the pair of powers (flight and field) from Faith as well.

Calculator puts her in the 130-150 range. The special attack needs to specify that you place the figure on an empty space.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say she's gonna come in lower than that given she's relatively similar to Vulture, and his stats alone put him at 90 points on the calculator, sans powers. Her stats (post drop of move after breathing, I'm sold on it already) only hit 45. I'm guessing the special is probably currently valued pretty high? I could see dropping it to just 3 attack, thus encouraging thudding targets against stuff more.

Will update it to this post breathing:

Range Special. Attack 4+special.
After moving with the Flying special power, if you did not use Faith’s Companion Field Carry special power, you may choose a figure that Faith passed over this turn. Place that figure on an empty space within 2 spaces of Faith. Roll 4 attack dice against that figure. If the chosen figure was placed adjacent to a destructible object, add 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled. Figures moved with Zephyr Throw will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

With the potential drop to just 3 attack, obviously, depending on how people feel about it.

[MrNobody]

EDIT: Nvm, I'm full of bad takes today.

[Arch-vile]

Maybe reduce the automatic skull to +1 attack if that part is too strong. The closest comparison I can think of is Wonder Girl (Donna) at 140 points, who I think is generally much better, especially with Titan synergies.

[LordVenoc]

I'd probably go the base attack of the special before swapping the auto. One extra die isn't super interesting, where as I think the auto more encourages the theme of throwing into stuff which is more accurate to how she does fight.

[Tornado]

Also need a size restriction on the SA unless she can grab Huge figures.
I think what will drive up her cost is Crime Fighter. She can bond with Luke Cage and move him forward before he takes his turn which is really nice.
Looks good.
