Lady Leizi and Handyman need to get out ASAP. Can Maddie make a small summon to find them, or are all her powers focused on maintaining Echidna right now?

As for SM, Black Swan ain't winning that fight. Trying to bring him down is a losing bet since he's Black Swan's direct counter. Using her full power just means we exhaust Black Swan while Scarlet Maturity can tank it despite injury and go interrupt the other fights. Instead, we need her to stall him for as long as possible.

Problem is that Handyman and Leizi are on nevermore already at the edge of maddie range so unless were willing to let hiver dead 3 vs 1 she cant leave with them.

Though sending echidna to kill while doing a fighting retreat towards the apiary works, we should be able to ask for help from apiary if thete near. Maddie range should be big enough that she can keep the two away from our fight even while retreating.

Actually does SM have a Phone or something to contact others? We could have Mona aim for breaking SM equipement so he cant be teleported then Retreat to reinforce the others.

Edit: That said having Hiver stall ete and Printemps should work while Echidna goes for blue sky. There a risk that 2 know Hiver too but they clearly never truly understood him since they never realize that hed prefer death than betraying JU to powers. his Barrier powers atleast works great for defenses so stalling is a valid tactic, while the 2 should still be inexperienced with their powers and fights like this since its likely they really put their lives on the line before like automne and hiver seem to be willing to do.

SM can't retreat because Mona's directly observing him, and it's very likely Shell Game's old power restrictions are still present since they needed to cover entire tables full of meat to teleport SM. Besides, he's interested in Black Swan, so he won't be leaving anytime soon.

That said, seems like we can't leave until Blue Skies stops interfering with the weather. Their ambush only worked because of the thick fog he produced, but a thick fog works in Handyman's and Lady Leizi's favor since they're both Espionage specialists.

While the 3 have their eyes fixed on Hiver and Menagerie Witch, Lady Leizi and Handyman can dart in and out of the fog to ambush someone.

I still think Hiver's NB and the reason it didn't take is because he signed as "Harrier", a name they consider not connected to them. They refused Maddie's "Mr", after all.

I imagine Scarlet Maturity is like Saitama. He can't fly or breathe underwater, but he is strong enough that it doesn't matter. He runs and jumps good that he might as well be flying through the force of his muscles, and him clapping would be enough to part whatever body of water you're using to drown him like it was the Red Sea.

My idea was less, 'drop him into the ocean' and more 'Uiara used her power to force water right into his mouth and nose and keep it there'.
 
Winning the fights somehow isn't as important as surviving, so I think the plan should be to escape. And I don't want Leizi and Handyman to die. They only have one health level, I think it's too risky.

True so Mona really just need to stall with blast and using her Supersonic speed to keep shooting him while also having eyes on SM.

Yeh I dont what leizi can do since she really is a CC fighter but handyman can go for a snipe while at the edge of range with eyes to track them, Im not sure who he should aim though just targets of oppurtunity of anyone specific. I think Printeps should be target since his ranged attack is the most troublesome apart from Blue skies crowd control.

Edit: If we want to escape we need to take care of Blue skies control over the area and Printemps being able to shoot us down. Thoughwith Hiver and the duo out of sight we can probably aim for a focused attack on Blue skies then just retreat. Thinking about it neither Printemps or ete have flight so if we can get rid of printemps and Blue skies we can just fly way. Were still on the ground afterall.

Uiara needs to hit him for that to work, and as demonstrated, Scarlet Maturity can punch hard enough that the displacement of air can turn people into a red mist. Water isn't coming anywhere near SM unless he wants it to.

Sniping in a fog is a bad idea since Handyman has no sensory powers. He's likely to miss in these conditions, so melee is our only option.

fuck its really risky though and neither of them have Invulnerabiltiy to a failed hit check lead to death. Espionage should let them aim for ambush but really need to take care of blue skies his fog is too limiting right now.

Also he might be able to bring even more reinforcement in. even if take down ete and printemps.

Edit: Thinking about it Echidna should make everyone warry right now, so I think we can have it immediately go for printemps or Blue skies while hiver stalls. I thikn going for printemps works better, Ete and Printemps should have good teamwork while Blue skies and ete shouldnt be able to work well together espeically with etes personality. Hivers barrier should be able to handle the flames and water, which is another thing would make the 2 not work well together. Water and Fire dont mix easily afterall unless their users can coordinate well.

I think Mona's biggest weapon is her mouth. Scarlet Maturity finds her annoying. Keep up the blasting, move quickly, but also, keep annoying him, Spider-man style. Ask him when he'll be rich enough to satisfy himself. Call him Heartless Maturity. Ask him why he doesn't just snap Faust in half and take his assets by force. Accuse him of wanting to stick his dick in the Leviathan because clearly nobody human could satisfy him.

Once we take out Blue Skies, we can aim for a retreat. Ete and Printempts have ranged attacks too, but the fog is really messing us up since it keeps us from flying away and it helps them teleport more reinforcements in.
 
Twin advantages we have that we can use:

1. Gwen and Jean have alcohol in their systems. They probably aren't drunk, but maybe they're tipsy. They're emotionally vulnerable.

2. Wouldn't Gwen's fire evaporate the water vapor, making the fog less dense and less useful?
 
Uggh the real problem really is leizi and handyman do we have them try for an ambush together, or just run away now since its too risky for them to join the fight.
Heroes would join and fight and together they can take one of them down, but wed need to hope they dont get hit at all. That said we do have a few bonuses and these guys are weaker than SM.
 
So, Black swan can't really keep Maturity down... And maturity is probably got enough tricks and stuff to fight a Parahuman with similar abilities to Black swan, You don't grow to be the Biggest, scariest stick if you haven't fought all comers.

I think, The best bet might be for black swan to lean into her own invincibility, Play into it, act like a squishy glass cannon just long enough to line up a perfect shot, take a hit on the shield that she still has and her own invul, and then launch the fucker into orbit with the strongest blast she has. If he is sent flying far and hard enough, even if maturity doesn't hit orbit, it would give black swan time to retreat and take him out of the fight long enough for everyone else to hopefully disengage.
 
[X] Fighting Retreat
-[X] Menagerie Witch and Hiver have Echidna & Apepfor Blue skies have Hiver stall Ete and Printemps using barriers to defend and all his pent up frustrations to make them even more angry and focused on him so that they cant work with blue skies. Once Blue Skies is down and fog doesnt impede anymore fly away with nevermores and use Hivers barriers to defend from their ranged attacks.
-[X] Lady Leizi and Handyman join the fight, Have Handyman tranform into a giant monstrous form that he used to scare BS in testing while also making sure to set up armor and defenses to survive any attack to distract them and give his allies and opening. Have Leizi use handyman distraction to close in and take down anyone she deems vulnerable with all her strength. Retreat with Hiver and MW once the fog is down and nothing can stop them fly away.
-[X] Black Swan use her supersonic speed to keep away from SM attacks, while making sure to keep him in sight so he cant be teleported. Use a combination of taunts and blast to keep him disoriented and unable to attack properly, once it becomes too dangerous or the rest of the team has retreated safely use lightspeed to get away and then return back to apiary

Fuck it Heroes dont leave their comrades behind. Handyman can give himself armor to tank hits and distract everyone while, Hiver and MW fights and Leizi goes for kill. BS needs to stall SM using her rep and hit to keep SM distracted before retreating by going faster than light.

Handyman armored form should be able to take attacks from printemps and ete and going giant monster on them should give us an opening.

As long as Hiver is there he should be able to guard us from ranged attacks. We cant waste the nevermores since their our escape vehicles though.

...Honestly, given my idea for the "They're responsible for Prince" idea, which isn't true, it's making me wonder if maybe we could have Hiver throw out a lie to get Gwen and Jean to fight each other. Imply infidelity or something.
 
If we let Lady Leizi and Handyman rest for this turn, will they regain one more HP? Or is that just Handyman since he has Regen? Might be worth having them sit out the fight for this turn so they can join in next turn.
