The Book of Livewire (Amanda McKee)

Yea

If she's lacking some oomph, I think that tweak is probably a good idea. There's probably some weird combos you can pull off, but she's such a funky leader unit that I think it would be tough to really break her.

I think there definitely are, but in the typical point brackets, its hard to get a lot of mileage out of it. Most things with strong after movement powers run a bit high on points, so you're unlikely to get a ton of three activation rounds, especially if you're also spending points to get some mileage out of the first bullet.

Don't know if anyone caught it, but we definitely need to clarify the blanks of Electrostatic Interference. As is, I don't think it is clear whether or not she gets blanks from melee attacks from Android/Cyborg foes.

This passes. Let's keep this faction a rollin'!

Sorry I've dropped the ball on this one. Kept flying under the radar.

There's a lot going on in that first power. What's the theme of locking someone down with her leadership power? Takes a few re-reads to understand the power but testing aside it looks solid.

Other two abilities are fairly simple and cool.

My thought when I suggested it was strategic ability - use her allies to keep people where she wants them. But it's also justifiable with general technological, electromagnetic type stuff. Her powers started off as just "talk to machines" but nowadays are a lot vaguer.

[LordVenoc]

Johnny is spot on there. They are all meant to be general tactical maneuver type things. I could easily see switching it to Unit-y Tactics, possibly even dropping the hyphen (I've gone back and forth on it). Thematically its encouraging the tanks (Gilad) to tank so the more flimsy folk (Ninjak) are safe.

Trying to put together ideas for testing here - I'm probably going to poke around to find some ways to exploit that "take a turn but no attack" power since that's the most prominent for me. Anything spring to mind?

Yeah I definitely want to see that one tested as I think its the most exploitable. The kind of chain grab the ninjas did in my one game was cool, so I'd veer toward stuff like that. I think the ninjas are one of the only factions that can do that and also have a card that gives free moves to allow Pip one to trigger. If there are others, they'd be great to test.

Don’t know if you were still looking for a figure, but this looks like her with just a repaint!

Still trying to wrap my head around that first power, since I want to test her after Bloodshot if she’s still here. When does the first bullet be useful, outside of a potential huge Robot bonding chain? It’s a really weird option, that looks tailor made to work with Robot. I just feel like I’m missing something!
