Character Bio - “Dick Grayson became Nightwing after he was dismissed from the role of Robin at eighteen [….]Throughout Dick's adolescence, Batman and Robin are inseparable. However, as Dick grows older and spends more time as the leader of the Teen Titans, he retires as Robin and takes on his own superhero identity Nightwing to assert his independence (others would fill in as Robin) [….] As Nightwing, Dick leads the Teen Titans and later the Outsiders [….] Grayson's Nightwing costume was a high-tech suit specially designed for his high-flying acrobatic style [….]Held in spring-loaded pouches in the back of his costume, Dick carried a pair of Eskrima truncheons made from an unbreakable polymer that were wielded as both offensive and defensive weapons.” (Wikipedia 2013).

TITANS GO!
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, before taking a turn with Nightwing, you may first reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and take a turn with up to two other Unique Titan or Sidekick Heroes you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Nightwing. You may activate the chosen Heroes in any order.

ESCRIMA ASSAULT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
Choose up to two figures to attack. Roll 3 attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. After attacking with this special attack, Nightwing may attack with this special attack one additional time.

ACROBATIC MASTERY
Nightwing 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 Nightwing one space up to 6 levels up or down. When Nightwing rolls defense dice against an opponent's attack, one shield will block all damage.

Love it! At first I was sad that he wouldn't work with Robin, but then I realized he works with TWO Robins!

Not a huge fan of Acrobatic Mastery... I think Maneuver should be fine here. Maybe tack on Disengage if we're really set on it.

Love the bonding and general feel, though.

With no Bat-Grapple at all, I think it'd be nice for him to be able to defy elevation on his turn, not just defensively. I also like it as a way to show him progressing in skill as a character.

I'm a fan, obviously, but I'll hold and see what the rest of the gang thinks.

Yep. Or Raven and Starfire. Or Red Robin and Robin. Etc., etc.

I'm hoping that even without being a Vigilante, he'll find a nice home in either Titans armies, Vigilante/Sidekick armies, or Vigilante/Titan/Sidekick armies.

We've discussed this one, no changes here.
I snapped pictures of this mini too:

Looks good bats. I understand what you are doing with Acrobatic Mastery & agree with it, but kind of think it reads a bit clunky in that first sentence it's about defense dice then it's about attack & defense dice. I can't think of any way around to achieve the same outcome so I'm fine with it.

Um what's the difference between the red or the blue with black suits? Because the newer clix is better looking (just that it's red which I didn't know Knightwing ever wore).
