Just got caught up here. Looks cool and simple. Ghost Assassin is a great power.

Are her claws actually made of adamantium? I see she built them herself, so just want to make sure it's accurate, otherwise we could tweak the power slightly and rename it.

Yea

[Yodaking]

yea Always good to see a re-match game with both sides winning a close one. I feel much better about her up at the 175 range as well, looks fun and I'll have to pair up up with Domino now for a nice little point clock.

I tried finding out what they’re made of when writing it up but was unable to find any answer.

They're probably not adamantium, but we don't have any specific reason to think they COULDN'T be, and the power reuse is a cleaner "Wolverine Jr." style link, so I'm fine cheating a bit here.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah if there's no answer it's fine. Just checking!

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Point cost pretty good. The first game was pretty even back and forth. The second game had a few more lucky rolls on the Mutant side then I expected. Her Ghost Assassin Power is amazing, if I was going to take a turn with her, I was gonna try and walk through everyone I could. That Reactionary Phasing ability makes it almost impossible to hit her. She’s a freakin ninja. Can’t wait to see the rest, thanks for the PM. I was sad I missed Colossus.

Looking good still.
