Yeah Solars are the bestest and punchiest Exalts, that are not as good at gaining influence or wresting dominion over the supernatural which here as in WoD is made of of a lot of Creatures of Darkness. In terms of pure overall utility I would say Abyssals are probably strongest, but they are also the ones who still have a curse to deal with.

No! We beat the heck out of a platoon of Red Court and two unkillable monstrosities from beyond the universe, and we took scratch damage that'll take hours to heal! This cannot stand.

This is the same level of annoyed pettiness that the First Age Solars exuded. We've gone through a right start.

Ah... no it's not that one, in WoD you can tell Oblivion to suck it because it has no servants strong enough in the living world to give you orders. The strongest things it has in play, the Nilarchs, are still like lower middle management to your VP of Sales. But you do have to throw your name into the void, which means if you ever acknowledge that name as yours you will be cursed

Mr Mendoza: Molly Carpenter?
Abyssal Molly: *is quiet*
Mr Mendoza: Molly Carpenter?!
Abyssal Molly: Yes
*and that is how your homework for the next week was eaten by evil ghosts* :V

Namechange is probably legal in America.

Get a new name that isnt the one we threw away. Also, its free immunity to true naming.

Checkmate, Void.

Ah, I thought you meant the Abyssal's righteous cause of finally killing the world and letting the Neverborns to pass for the afterlife. But Dark Fate is also bad.

Imagine always having to wear Goth and funeral outfits /s.

Now we have to convince our teachers to call us Black-Veiled Lady of Bleeding Eyes or something like that.

Chuuni overload at school.

Abyssals seems to have the biggest lottery draw in ExWoD and Dresden. They have actual Spirit-Killer Charm, they have resources that actually remember who they were at the Age of Legends, they're immune to True Naming and they're still Solaroids, making them uber-powerful compared to every other faction.

Ah... you did not throw away just your name, but the very concept of having a name. You are only allowed titles.

Evil furniture made from the most evil trees?

Human bones are kind of passe at this point.

Hey, all those evil thrones? Definitely need a supernal carpenter steeped in the Essence of Death and inhuman skill to make.

Edit: Also something something, Qlippoth the metaphorical tree of death and thus the metaphorical carpenter making real death as an Abyssal - Kabbalaic/Abrahamic concept.

Abyssals are great, man.
Murder Room Preparedness (•••)
The Abyssal has learned to be ever-ready for the
eventualities of chaos, mayhem, and violence.
System: Once per scene, the Abyssal may reflexively
spend 1 Essence to re-roll a failed or botched roll,
keeping the preferred result. Her player must describe
how the Abyssal planned ahead for the inevitability
of the difficulty she now faces. Alternately, the player
can spend 1 Willpower to retroactively declare that the
Abyssal brought along some useful bit of equipment (or
performed a useful bit of research), and has had it with
them all along, so long as this isn't clearly in violation
of the established scene. For example, the Abyssal might
have brought zip ties along with her to a burglary in case
it turned into a kidnapping, or concealed a small blade
up her sleeve in case she got kidnapped, but she surely
hasn't been driving a bulldozer around for the last halfhour
with which to conveniently break down a wall.
Apocalyptic Effect: When the player spends Willpower
to retcon the scene, she may cite one or more of
the Abyssal's Backgrounds and call upon some truly
implausible or significant bit of foresight: she had one
of her Contacts stow a bulldozer on the grounds, or a
helicopter pilot she hired with her Resources passes
over at that moment and tosses down a rocket launcher
from her Arsenal.

Those evil ghosts'll get ya every time.

Actually that's a thought - evil ghosts are also present in Dresden Files, and sometimes non-trivial even for people like Harry (see: the Nightmare, Corpsetaker). As I recall dealing with the undead was something of a hole in Infernal capability, with only TED even nodding at the concept. THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY FOR US, but probably worth bearing in mind we'll want to ask Harry for help if we do run into necromancers. Fortunately, we're after Dead Beat at this point, so they're not due back for years yet.

Assuming no butterflies, obvs. Cowl and Kumori do fit very well as Abyssals, come to think of it...
