-Combinations and Synergies-

Incoming Synergy:

• As a Sidekick, Artemis has these Sidekick Synergies.
• Artemis adds 4 to her roll for her Net Arrow special power if she targets a figure adjacent to an Archer, Sidekick or Titan you control.

Outgoing Synergy:

• N/A

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Artemis's Net Arrow 8 works when she is moved with Aqualad's (Kaldur'ahm) Young Justice or her own Acrobatic Movement, which can be useful combos. Using Net Arrow 8 as the first turn of Nightwing's Titans Go! is one of the best uses of it.

NAME = ARTEMIS
SECRET IDENTITY = ARTEMIS CROCK

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SIDEKICK
PERSONALITY = FIERCE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 8
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

TRACKING ARROW
Start the game with one green Tracking Marker. After attacking an opponent’s Unique Hero with Artemis' normal attack, you may place the Tracking Marker on that Hero’s card. Unique Heroes you control may add 3 to their Move numbers if they end their movement adjacent to a figure with the Tracking Marker on its card.

NET ARROW 8
Once per round before, during, or after moving normally or moving with any special power from a figure you control, you may choose a small or medium figure within 8 clear sight spaces and roll the 20-sided die. Add 4 to the roll if the chosen figure is engaged with another Archer, Sidekick, or Titan you control. If you roll 8 or higher, until you next reveal an Order Marker, the chosen figure may not move or roll for leaving engagement attacks and subtracts 1 from its Defense number.

ACROBATIC MOVEMENT
Artemis never takes falling damage and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. After rolling attack dice for a normal attack or after rolling defense dice, for each shield rolled you may immediately move Artemis one space up to 6 levels up or down.

Start with the Arrowette figure.


I used this picture as reference when painting.


Artemis does not wear a skirt, so shave down the skirt to look more like pants. Nail clippers is the safest and easiest way to do this.


Paint the pants, mask, gloves, and shirt green. I extended her mask down her neck to connect to her shirt.


Paint the bow, boots, quiver, quiver strap, kneepads, and belt black.


Paint the arrow feathers a slightly lighter green. Use the same color for her belt symbol. Artemis is complete!

Looks good! I really dig Tracking Arrow. I wonder if that needs to be class-restricted, though? Any reason not to let all of her allies track?

[Arch-vile]

I love thematic armies, so I just wouldn't want anything to push Artemis's cost that isn't a Sidekicks/Titans build. If people think it's fine to remove the class restriction on Tracking Arrow, that's cool with me.

I would bump her Range up to 8 - all of our other Archer Sidekicks (both Speedys, Hawkeye) have 8 and I feel like she's on that same level. I also think "Archers and Sidekicks with a Range number of 8 or higher" would be a good tag for trick arrows but I sort of doubt we'll ever get there at this point.

I'd also like to at least tag Archer onto the classes for her powers - give her SOME utility with her technical mentor. I've always been a little disappointed that Mia Speedy has no actual reason to be played with Green Arrow. It wouldn't be her best build, but it gives us something to hang future synergies on, at least.

And I might limit her Net Arrow to once per round, if only because, I dunno, it feels weird to me if she starts machine gunning nets all over the place. Maybe bump up the power a bit to compensate? But maybe it's a game vs. simulation issue - just throwing it out there.

Glad to see her on the table and the repaint looks good!

[Arch-vile]

All those suggestions sound pretty good to me.

Might just be me, but I'm not seeing anything especially compelling about Tracking Arrow to make me want to throw her into Generalist armies if the restriction is removed. As a Sidekick, I think her incoming synergies are going to be a bigger deal than any outgoing synergies. Tracking Arrow has a pretty light effect overall, IMO.

Been a few years since I saw the show, but it feels pretty good to me!

[MrNobody]

Digging it. Only minor thing is I wish that triggering Net Arrow off of Aqualad’s Young Justice movement was more viable, but there’s so many other ways to trigger it that I don’t really care. I also agree that Tracking Arrow isn’t really offering anything special enough to deserve to be class limited. Some GA interplay would be cool.

[Arch-vile]

Alrighty, those suggested changes have been made. Bumped the d20 roll down to 8 due to making Net Arrow a once per round.

Net Arrow does work when Artemis is moved with Aqualad's free movement (or if Miss Martian throws her). It won't be as strong as working with Nightwing's Titans Go, but it's a minor synergy for her thematic allies.
