With that her cost would probably be a bit lower but I'd say she's good to go.

Dropping it to 4 I was already wondering about, which would probably drop her points to around 370ish I think.

Updated.

[Scapemage]

4 attack should be much better. 5 attack with range can be plenty without the Bands sometimes.

[Karat]

I might be able to squeeze this in this weekend.

[IAmBatman]

Sweet! I take it the Carrotmobile and Baby Carrot are doing better?

[Karat]

Just got the Carrotmobile back today(paid in full by DSHS ) and baby carrot is in daycare and doing great. Blink and I just have pretty full weeks right now due to having to take Work First classes hopefully one or both of us will find work soon so we can get off of taniff.

Wait a moment, is your username supposed to be pronounced like "carat?" I've always pronounced it Ka-Rat.

That was the original intention, but Griff gave me the nick name Karatcake and all my local scappers called me Karat(carrot) and I guess it kind of just grew on me

[IAmBatman]

Plus your skin is orange, so there's that.

Just finished the heavy hitters and it's looking like a point bump of 5-10 might be in order here, but we'll see how she does in the squad and Army tests.

[Karat]

I may have gotten a bit carried away with the Heavy Hitter and Squad tests, but I'm having a lot of fun testing her, and honestly, more efficiency isn't a bad thing. I just paraphrased for the squad tests to save space. 370 seems to be holding up thus far. I hope to finish this by next weekend at the latest.

Overall I'd say she is a very offensive unit and consistently makes high attack rolls using the Bands especially when paired with Ronan or Cap. She kinda needs to be kept at range to be really useful, but she's pretty good at close range as well though she won't last long. Overall though, I'd say she is my new favourite Kree
