Based on info from the discord we might want to make sure the black ops team is much more martial focused than what we've been talking about previously.
Based on that we want to go with a Technor-led team rather than a Cruella-led one as previously discussed.
Technor, Juniper, Wiley all have pretty good martial and Technor and Wiley are extremely well balanced in other stats. Mezmerella has mediocre martial but a trait and narrative utility (hypnosis) to make her useful on the team.
If Wiley can't be on the black ops team (because council), or even if he can, we should go with a more martial focused recruit to round off the team instead of Wiley (he's an amazing flex unit, for dice explosion chance and ACME related personal actions and toon durability, which makes me want to keep him as a solo unit), and delay recruiting Red Feather by one turn.
If we're planning on recruiting Cruella next, then we don't necessarily need to hire Red Feather in January. We could recruit someone more martial focused and appropriate for the Black Ops team in January and recruit Red Feather afterwards.
Candela seems like the best choice out of what we have so far. A huge martial powerhouse, decent intrigue and diplomacy so as to not be a drain on the team, etc.
This would make the ideal black ops team:
Technor, Juniper, Mezmerella, and Candela.
- November/December: Recruit Cruella
- January/February: Recruit Candela
- March/April: Recruit Red Feather
