I do wonder if stacking two defensive powers isn't too much, but I'm fine with you feeling it out.

Yea

I think I'll limit it to just Guardians of the Galaxy, that was my intent.

As far as the 2 defensive powers go, that was a screw I thought I could turn. First have her just use it on allies only, and then limit it to only 1 blank if its still too much.

I wanted it to be Light Damage, looks like I just left it off.

[Ericth74]

This passes

Will hit her initial soonish.

[Karat]

Looks like a good combo to test her with is anyone with Counterstrike.

[Ericth74]

Updated, Limited Solid Light Shield to Guardians of the Galaxy only. Added Light damage to the Special Attack.

Nice

[Ericth74]

I just noticed that I Aleta's 2nd and 3rd power both have the word "Solid" it in. Does any one have a better name for one of the two powers?

Currently they are:

Solid Bolts of Light SA

Solid Light Shield

I guess the Shield could just be "Light Shield" or "Shield of Light"

Hopefully someone is more creative than me!

[Karat]

I'd just do Bolts of Light SA and leave the Light Shield as is.

[Shiftrex]

Really 'solid' support figure for guardians. I think this would elevate some of the builds i've used with them before.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Aleta and the Guardians of the Galaxy went 1-2, with the game against the Fantastic Four being the only real unbalanced game. In all three games she was able to use all her powers. She works well with in faction and 270 feels right for her. In all 3 games she did damage with her Special Attack and while strong its still only an attack of 4. Her Phasing power seemed to be more of a deterrent than anything. Aleta felt like she was the hardest figure to hit so she hung around to the end in these games, that could of just been me and how I played though. Solid Light Shield is helpful for the faction to have a defensive power. It wasn't that much of a factor in the first 2 games as there was a lot of melee fighting than I thought there would be. I put more ranged figures in game 3 just to see if it was going to be too strong but it didn't have a huge effect. It did save Vance from taking a couple of wounds in that game. It was hard to keep the whole faction podded up. Of the three powers, its the one I'm keeping my eye on. I think she's ready for public playtesting at 270.

[Ericth74]

I propose we move her to public playtesting at 270
