I said this before, but owing to how some parts of the stuff we throw in don't make it through, the real problem with Red Huntress and Nox is that they have so many abilities that you really need to think of a few you want to buff or focus on and leave the rest to the wayside.
Chimera was an amazing plan for red huntress really.

It gave autobioknesis of Adamant endless mass which would pair well with RH adapt to better hunt prey.

It ensured Strenght, Senses and Energy Manipualtion. Meaning CQC, Ranged and Espionage would get boosted at minimum.

Any other powers gained would have been boosted by P13 and autobiokinesis. Though dont know which exactly wed retain from the 1X KW.

I had a PLAN for Chimera, ngl
 
I'm holding onto the hope that we can get Chimera again one of these days. I tried rebuilding it with our expanded library and couldn't really come up with something better.

After EXCEED-BEYOND at least, though, the super psychic may take priority over that.

Its why i'm gonna vote for it as one of our P13. If not for needing a psychic to deal with Philosphers shenanigans and make sure we have someone to handle E-B and BS psychic weakness.

I would give it to yara so I wouldnt have to worry about making sure she gets a great power. Besides it fits with Lucidprop concpet of making a cute girl a dragon.

For Exceed-Beyond I'm wating to get NOelle or boosting one of our other candidates to P10. Id be too weird to have a Teenager with seemingly no powers pilot and the fact that E-B can be destroyed means wed prefer someone with higher stats without the armor.

Choosing an Older pilot would mean we dont have to hide our new valiants identity and just tehy went to strict test and traning to earn the right to pilot it. Hell maybe say finding someone to Pilot E-B is what prometheus is about.

I mean, Rhys can become a dragon, since he can turn into animals already. He'd just need to work out the biology. And he'd lack the fire breath.

-------------------------------

Are people broadly in favor of my Big Psychic Plan, as a placeholder if nothing else?

(that's Chatroom + Mr. Hunch + Wild Speaker + Eastwood + Miss Conception)

Depends on Wulongs synergy. Though Eastwood and Chatroom for me are definately shoe ins. Since Telephatic network and Emotion storage should work well.

And of course new DNA from cache and mission might give us a better build.
 
…theoretically, we could get:
  1. Black Swan
  2. EXCEED-BEYOND
  3. Super-Duper Psychic
  4. Chimera
And fully manage to complete the issue end recommendation.
Id prefer one more P13 just to make sure we have an Advantage before saving Moon River though time limit might not let us do it. Even with Fast Pass only needing 2 or 3 turn for a Medium Candidate to Max out.

Well, the good news is you have Rhys, so I'm unlikely to repeat that particular power interaction again.
Using Multiplex instead of Outsider would give us Machine transformation yeh. Then it would depend on other Powers, though energy manipulation is pretty versatile so maybe dragonsteeth to give their transoframtion energy weapons.
 
My calls are Super Psychic and then a Zeno-based set.

Though there might be some overlap because I'm curious if Teleportation is a part of Space-Time as a synergy. Clairvoyance, too.

Clairvoyance ×2
Mental Manipulation x2
Ally Empowerment x1
Construct Creation x1
Energy Manipulation x1
Invisibility x1
That's the Keywords, right?

Narratively it fits nicely, telepathy + past-sight + animal uplifting + emotion manipulation + illusion, all very psychic. But I would certainly feel safer with a x3 on Clairvoyance or Mental Manipulation, I remember that being necessary to guarantee a keyword? Or we could finish that research project...
 
…wait. Hold up. Just had a realization, and I need to expel the thought demons.

We know that Red Huntress's gimmick was mainly "scale up to an enemy", with the other powers being in service to that. However, that's only half of it: the other half was "marking another person and accurately measuring their strength".

We know that Rhys's interaction of turning the body into the "Body Goop" won't happen again. We also know that both Adamant and Daggermaw had their powers amplified by being in a higher Potency mix.

Chimera, being P13, would have this amplification, likely focused on Red Huntress. However, the power up wouldn't be on the "scaling" part. Base form would already have great speed, strength, and senses, scaling that is overkill and kinda boring. The only thing that would make sense to upgrade would be… Red Huntress's "tracking".

So theoretically, we could have Chimera as a bootleg power copier, where the person being tracked would have their keywords temporarily copied with a fitting mythical animal's body part. (So if they had Flight, Chimera would get Harpy Wings, Enhanced Strength=Minotaur Horns and muscles, Elemental Manipulation=Dragon Mouth)

And that would be how we'd make up for the loss of the other 1x keywords that RH would lose, and still retain the grab-bag aspect.

Per Bitterman admission, needing 3 of a keyword is very rare.
 
Wait I think I misunderstood what you meant-did you mean "making sure the keyword manifests on it's own" or "needing 3 of a copy for a combo" because I was referring to the latter.

Can I just say how ironic that would be? Using Red Huntress DNA to create a power copier when the side quest related to her was about a villanious power copier sister. It all came back around.

Ah, I was referring to the former. But anyways, still the best plan I have seen and things might change with the new DNA this turn. No reason to worry about it now

Ok, now I'm just imagining this scene vividly:

Socialite: When I kill Yara, and all the money of Qsanyin will belong to me! My luxurious dreams, fulfilled! I will be the best of the Philosophers, and no one will be able to stop me! ABSOLUTELY NO O—
Chimera (uncloaks from underneath chameleon/octopus skin): Hey there, (Socialite's real name)! Harper called, from hell! She wants you dead, and thanks to her I got these cool powers! Prepare to die in a hundred new ways!
Socialite: (…oh, fuck.)

Is Shroud the type of umbrakinetic who's weakened by bright lights being shone on the shadow he's hiding in, and thus a pitch black room is a playground for him?
 
Anyways, lost myself a bit there, was just trying to say that there are other options available besides slapping some clarivoyants on John as a quick fix until we get that Super Psychic we planned or something.
For a lot of the mid cost build options, there's the question of making options that are powerful yet complete in that range. Of our 6+ cost powers I feel like only Umibozu really falls into that vein as it has its core complete with Hydrocity. Deadman seems a decent source given the Regeneration and power there so it'd mostly be synergy fishing (maybe see if Hydrocity could lead to steam or rock potential?). Epoxy could work maybe but kind of feels like it would need some of (Adamant/Steadfast/Soldier X/Sewer Rat/Daggermaw) for self boosting and survivabiity.

And then we have the league of 4 cost bases where Chatroom and Bulwark seem relatively easy to build around in this range, less so Memoria. Plus we know the Wade Family core is very strong.

Where these are just some of the options that we have as of right now without any more available DNA which we will get. If nothing else, there are absolutely possibilities for strong mid tolerance builds that don't heavily encroach on some of our higher end options!
