FELINE FRIEND
At the start of the game, you may choose another Kryptonian in your army to be Streaky's Friend. Opponent's figures engaged with her Friend may not attack Streaky. Once during your turn, after taking a turn with her Friend, you may move Streaky as long as she ends her movement within 2 spaces of her Friend. Streaky will not take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special power.

SUPER POUNCE 12
Immediately after moving Streaky on your turn with the Flying special power, you may choose an adjacent figure that she did not begin the turn adjacent to. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound.

PURRFECT PARTNERS
Whenever you roll the 20-sided die for Streaky's Friend, you may add 1 to the roll if they are adjacent to Streaky.

Alright, we live now. Only change from the LCW is swapping her to being unattackable by just being adjacent to her friend, now just if the friend is next to the foe. 70 points is definitely the solid goal here, so any tweaks to hit that point will definitely be being kept in mind here.

Super Pets cometh!

I'd be surprised if she's less than 100 as-is. Right now she's pretty vulnerable to auto-wounds but otherwise is a completely efficient and hard to kill unblockable attack die machine. I'd say, for instance, that she's slightly better than JL Atom on paper right now, and he's coming in at 100 so far.

Fair point. Probably will want to swap back to the figures adjacent to friend can't attack her rather than what I changed it to.

This design does seems fair bit harder to take down than Spider-Cat so it’ll be hard to keep at only 20 points more probably.

I’d consider making the pounce only work on figures Streaky moves into engagement with as well rather than just letting her pounce in place.

[LordVenoc]

I believe it already works like that:

SUPER POUNCE
Immediately after moving Streaky on your turn with the Flying special power, you may choose an adjacent figure. Roll an unblockable attack dice against that figure. If the chosen figure is adjacent to Streaky's Friend, you may count blanks rolled as a skull.

The issue is probably more that she gets free Leaving Engagement from Feline Friend. I'd also be open to swapping the unblockable to a D20, so something like:

SUPER POUNCE
Immediately after moving Streaky on your turn with the Flying special power, you may choose an adjacent figure. Roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if Streaky is adjacent to her friend. If you roll a 14 or higher, that figure receives one wound.

Or you could move the D20 boon to a separate power that gives a shared D20 bonus with friend, thus pushing her more toward the Kara combination than Kal.

A Feline Friend tweak like this could help also, but may be weird with the disharmony with how Krypto works:

FELINE FRIEND
At the start of the game, you may choose one Kryptonian to be Streaky's Friend. While Streaky is adjacent to her friend, opponent's figures may not attack Streaky. After taking a turn with her Friend, you may move Streaky as long as she ends her movement adjacent to her Friend. Streaky will not take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special power if she did not begin the move adjacent to her Friend.

Though that does still just let the Friend move just a hair to give the free disengage. Just moving to the D20 might be better overall, not sure what the best sweet spot is for it.

[IAmBatman]

Ah missed the “with flying” art of that. But free disengage would remove any cost, yeah.

D20 does make for easier tweaking during testing.

[LordVenoc]

Oh dur, how about:

SUPER POUNCE
Immediately after moving Streaky on your turn with the Flying special power, you may choose an adjacent figure that she did not begin the turn adjacent to. Roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if Streaky is adjacent to her friend. If you roll a 14 or higher, that figure receives one wound.

Or whatever the language is. So she can't pounce stuff she was already next to.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah looks better.
