I propose we move to playtesting at 170!

I want her around that cost. She might go down to 160ish in testing though.

R4: Bishop Timeslips in to a ladder near the enemy SZ and Black Widow who misses Bullseye. Bishop destroys BW, wounds Shi with 2 skulls from high ground. Shi moves under cover.

Who won and how many wounds did they have?
Azrael(3wounds), Beast(1wound), Plastic Man(Full) & Kirigi(Full).

Awesome rolls vs. terrible rolls. Shi was good considering what she faced. Her range attack ended up being more effective then her multi-attack SA. Her Swift Strike failed or perhaps she could have taken out Azrael and made for a better chance for Emma. I thought she fit in well with the other 170 point figures.

Shi did even better offensively considering she was the lowest point figure on the battlefield. Meteorite was a real pain.
Shi could use some protection. Perhaps Bizarro or Jocasta would be a good choice for a teammate.

A wicked whirlwind on combat. Very cool power set. Extremely well done.

[Lord Pyre]

I still like 170 here! She's a bit like a glass cannon, which is how I imagined her. Very fast and hits hard, but goes down quick. Very cool!

Spoiler Alert!

Shi came out and was met by the Iron Men. She sliced many of them with her special before she finally fell. Nova Prime finished the job on Mark II and the Stealth suits. But the Unibeam and Pulses from Mark V really hurt him. Red Lantern came out and killed Mark IV and Mark V and the sniper for the end of the game.

Spoiler Alert!

Zatanna went up to try and negate Bro'dee at the beginning. She dealt some wounds to him and kept failing, until she eventually died. He healed some wounds while Magneto came up. Magneto threw the lanterns for some major damage, but was severely wounded when his shield was gone. Magneto did kill Bro'dee before he died next round though. Shi came up and dealt some wounds to the stalwart lanterns with her special and normal (and one with Swift Strike). But she too fell. Wolverine was struck by range, only coming close enough to kill Hal, before he died.
Results: 2/5 wound Kilowog
