Don’t know why you need the opponent part in the gun power. I doubt you want to attack your own figure twice much less remove a random OM.

Very true.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I'd delete that. It also reads more clearly that you're meaning the same figure, not a figure controlled by the same opponent.

Getting about 170 on the calculator for her.

Well class is the one part of the design I've had a struggle with. Her Marvel Fandom page has her listed(and the other Guardians) as Adventurers. That doesn't work because of the Fan4. They list her as having Acrobatic skills, but I didn't like the idea of Acrobat as a class. Fighter seemed like a good catch all. I'd like all the figures of her team to be able to have synergy outside the Guardians of the Galaxy. They all have worked on other teams at different points. Open to other options though but she's not going to have synergy with her Species or Personality, so it would need to be class.

Who has she worked with?

That is tough as they do not have the Champion thing. I think Fighter is a good option.

[FreshFoods]

Fighter seems pretty sensible to me. I think Dual Stun Guns should be worded like this ;

DUAL STUN GUNS
After attacking, Nikki may attack one additional time. If a wound was inflicted on the first attack, Nikki may re-roll once attack die on the second attack. If Nikki inflicted one or more wounds against the same opponent's figure with each attack, you may remove one Order Marker at random from that figure's Army Card.

Just swapped the order of the 2nd and 3rd sentences.
