Yea, I'd say 4 defense would keep her about where she's at. All were played at 110. At 4 defense I'd send her out at 100. Not opposed to sending her out at 110 either though. Oh, and everything looks kosher to me once edited out the other planned test anyways.

Spoiler Alert!

Round 1: Initiative X-Men. Professor X has Iceman and Jean advance. Jean tosses Beast forward.
Beast Boy turns into a Pteradactyl and carries Arsenal forward.
Professor X has Angel carry him forward, then has Cyclops advance.
Arsenal misses a shot against Professor X and Angel advances Cyclops with Guardian Angel.
Professor X has Angel carry Cyclops to height and both Mutants attack Arsenal from height. Cyclops scores a wound.
Nightwing has Titans Go! He has Starfire and Raven advance, but neither is in attack range. Then Nightwing advances, Arsenal uses Team Cover Fire, Angel defends and flies back to Professor X’s side, and Arsenal has Terra advance two spaces. Nightwing isn’t in attack range, so the round ends.

Round 2: Initiative X-Men. Professor X has Iceman advance and fail a ranged attack on Arsenal, then has Cyclops engage Arsenal and hit him for a wound from height.
Nightwing has Titans Go! Starfire blasts Cyclops for two wounds with her Protective Fury. Raven moves adjacent to Arsenal and catches Cyclops whiffing for one wound. Nightwing advances, Arsenal rolls poorly with Team Cover Fire, and Arsenal has Terra advance two spaces, then Nightwing fails to KO Cyclops (who rolls 3 shields on 5 defense to block 3 skulls).
Professor X goes. He has Cyclops Optic Blast a line of Arsenal, Raven, and Nightwing. Arsenal is KO’ed, Raven takes a wound, and Nightwing whiffs and takes three wounds (ouch). Then Jean advances and throws Beast forward.
Raven goes. She takes two wounds from Nightwing, flies up and engages Cyclops, and uses Soul Self to transfer a wound to Professor X.
Professor X goes. He has Cyclops try and fail to blast Raven, then has Jean Grey throw Raven into engagement with Beast, fail to wound her this way, then wound her with an attack.
Starfire goes. She flies into engagement with Nightwing and Jean Grey and goes off on a Protective Fury/Reckless Engagement combo from height for four attacks that KO Cyclops and put a wound on Jean Grey.

Round 3: Initiative Titans. Nightwing does Titans, Go! He has Starfire blast away again, KO’ing Jean and putting three wounds on Beast. Then, because he didn’t plan well and only has Beast Boy in his range, Nightwing has Beast Boy fly forward. Then Nightwing engages Beast, but can’t inflict a wound with his Escrima.
Professor X has Beast and Iceman go. Beast hits Raven for a wound, but can’t hit Nightwing. Iceman can’t finish Raven.
Starfire goes, but Professor X ends her turn with Psychic Defense X.
Professor X has Beast KO Raven, but whiff on Nightwing, then Iceman blasts Starfire for two wounds but can’t Deep Freeze her.
Starfire blasts Prof X, who defends, then Angel moves into engagement with Starfire and Starfire hits Angel for two wounds.

Round 4: Initiative Nightwing. Titans, Go! Starfire inspires Professor X to cancel the whole turn with Psychic Defense X when she attacks Angel from height.
Professor X has Beast attack Nightwing and Starfire, hitting Starfire for two wounds, then has Iceman KO Starfire, ending the round for the Titans.
Professor X goes twice more. Beast and Iceman combine to KO both Beast Boy forms.
Beast takes a lava field wound.

Round 5: Initiative Titans. Terra advances.
Professor X has Beast fail to hit Nightwing, then Angel carry Prof X to height and Angel hit Nightwing for a wound.
Terra advances and attacks Prof X, but can’t hit. Angel carries Iceman to height.
Professor X has Beast advance and hit Terra for two wounds from height disadvantage. Then Iceman KO’s Nightwing.
Terra places two Rock Outcrops and blows one of them up, putting a wound each on Professor X and Angel.
Professor X has Beast and Iceman attack Terra. Terra gets the defensive bonus against Iceman, but he rolls well and she does not, and that ends it.

Unit Summary: Terra didn’t feel bad at all here. She couldn’t get going early in the game because Arsenal over-extended and then she wasn’t eligible for Titans Go activations. Had Nightwing rolled more average defense or Professor X not been able to roll Psychic Defense X so effectively, I think she might’ve been positioned to clean up better. Despite the margin, this one felt balanced and like it could’ve gone the other way had the dice fallen differently.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): None.
• TERRA MANIPULATION: Placed (2) Rock Outcrops and destroyed (1) for (2) Wounds (Professor X (1) and Angel (1))
• ROCK SHIELD: Used for (1) defense.
• EARTH STRENGTH 1: Never used.
• Damage Taken: KO’ed to end the game.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Professor X with 2/4 Life, Angel with 2/5 Life, Beast with 1/5 Life, and Iceman with Full Life win.

• TERRA MANIPULATION: Placed (6) Outcrops and destroyed (5) for (6) wounds on (Madripoor Mercenaries (4), Red Skull (1), and Deathstroke (1))
• ROCK SHIELD: Helped Superboy and Raven last a bit longer.
• EARTH STRENGTH 1: Helped Terra defend once she took her lava field space on height.
• Damage Taken: KO’ed in Round 6.

At first I was a little disappointed to see Arsenal and Raven in both tests. But since they split I guess it's not too big a deal. Thanks for the test bats. Would love to hear your feedback.

EDIT: I found your feedback in the individual test.

[IAmBatman]

Superboy and Nightwing are honestly probably more key for unlocking her than Raven and Arsenal. Those two are just good pieces in any Titans build.

Agree. My only pause is that at her small cost any increase in points due to Raven being a beast is a greater % or increase. I’ll just ask future testers to maybe limit Raven to one test.

I need to look into TTS thing and find out what it actually costs.

[IAmBatman]

Still like the idea of dropping Raven’s Life by one, fwiw.

Terra is a good low cost auto-wounder for a powerful faction regardless of Raven, though.
