Public Design Workshop

Nice, always glad to see a Flash universe draft. Ronin has a draft for Savitar in his workshop as well.

I like the basics there. Moving his allies up instead of attacking is cool for repping his speedy cultists. Making other speedsters take leaving engagement strikes against him is also great theme.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll have to take a look at Ronin’s and see what he was brainstorming.

I'm not keen on him as a Rogue, just because I don't feel like he's ever really worked beside Captain Cold or the like.

[clkra]

Rogue is definitely not set in stone, really just a placeholder as I couldn’t think of anything at the time. After more thought, I’m thinking something like Leader makes more sense.

I could see Psychopath, Stalker, or Destroyer. Maaaaaybe Antagonist, but not sure he really works with many others outside of his Cultists.

I think I was trying to hard to get him to synergize with figures already existing. I have a common squad that I’ve been working on that synergizes with Savitar, and that might be the right direction to go. With that being said, something like Despot doesn’t sound bad, and it’ll put him in his own category.

[IAmBatman]

I’m pro-synergies, even with DCU baddies (Psychopath fits for that, IMO), Rogue synergies just feel a bit too strong and specific for him, IMO.

I don't know if I like the ending of the turn against all SS figures since it essentially means any speedster without a Range attack (which is nearly all) are in an auto lose against Speedsters. Which feels too much.

And with disengage why would you not move since all of his other powers are instead of attacking powers...so that's two heals per turn.

IDK. I like the main idea it just feels too much. It's a great base though.

Also agree on the no to Rogue

and if the Cult of Speed was a unique squad I'd be even more excited.

I’m down to make him a Psychopath. Also, could fix the healing by just making it one wound after he takes a turn. As for the ending the turn power, thematically it’s a main thing for Savitar, as he likes to take Speedsters powers away, and I felt the best way to represent that was the way I did.

I guess I feel that them losing Disengage sort of brings that across. Most Speedsters like to hit and run and not being about to run away makes them vulnerable. Maybe add a "figures within X spaces of Savitar may not use Super Speed Special Power." makes it so not only can't they break engagement for free but also takes away that extra 4 spaces to hit and run" pair it with a move reduction maybe?

[clkra]

So you’re saying get rid of the end their turn aspect, and replace it with losing their SS when within say 3 spaces of Savitar?

Maybe use the current Doctor Strange as a model? He's one that had to get nerfed for being unfun, so I'd worry about applying a similar effect here.
