It's funny you say this as I was thinking of the below power but couldn't think of a name. I thought it would show her as a tactical warrior more than a brawler but the effect is kind of the same, & it also goes along way towards being Determined, IMO.

For the name I was thinking something that means like a false move, you know that suckered you into exposing your chin for that upper-cut to come through. Anyway...

If Wonder Woman does not inflict one or more wounds from her attack, she may attack one additional time. Wonder Woman does not receive any bonus dice from height advantage or Special Powers on any Army Card or Glyph when making the additional attack.

I am at work at the moment but thought I would just quickly slip this in .

Good start A3N! I really like the stats! I like her with 7 Life as well.
1) She is comparable to Superman and Hulk because a) her strength level is comparable to Superman's, maybe not quite as high, but much higher than Hawkgirl's, and b) she is the second best trained fighter in the Justice League, second only to Batman. For that reason, she should be equal to Supes in attack.
2) I love Aegis Bracelets, but based on the new ranged counterstrike in D1, I think she should is probably the best candidate for this power.
3) I agree she is difficult to nail down a third power for. A battle fury that doesn't allow her to use Golden Lasso after so many wounds would be cool. Especially with a boost to her Attack or Defense.

DETERMINED ASSAULT
If Wonder Woman does not inflict one or more wounds from her attack, she may attack one additional time. Wonder Woman may continue to attack with Determined Assault until she inflicts a wound. Wonder Woman may not attack more than 4 times in a single turn.

I loved your direction, and turned it into this. I love it btw. This feels so much more like a Determined WW to me.

What's the theme behind the Tiara reducing Defense?

Except I've seen this discussion a million times on WW customs: she doesn't actually hit people with deflected projectiles.

Not everyone needs 3 or 4 powers...

Also, I like the initiative aspect of Lasso rather than a "get over here!" type power. It's something different, and very thematic.

I like it, but she's attacking with her normal attack, not "with Determined Assault," since it's not a special attack, so that wording would need to change.
No love for calling it "Warrior Princess"?

I think that power's getting scrapped at this point.

Yep. Exactly. At best she deflects the projectiles into other things and those things hit her attackers, but that's hard to really represent ...

That's true. I'm fine with her just having the bracelets and the lasso. But if people find another power they really like, I'm fine with that too.

I'll give you different. I'll give you thematic. Fun to play? Meh. It lacks serious cow bell for me.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I like that as well.

Well, how exactly would you represent your scenario, if not ranged counterstrike?

We are drawing the conclusion that all excess shields hit directly in a counter-strike, its not in the wording. Why can't it represent a series of events put in motion by her blocking an attack? Read again what the power says, not the way many, if not all of us, imagine or visualize it.

Dude, it is just a suggestion. I didn't change the front page or anything you big Stealth Flying baby!

This seems like a bit much. One additional attack would be more than enough for me.

I agree, way to much and second the motion on 1 additional attack.

It's looking like no third power for her now though...
