"You can be more procs" and it wouldn't the able to stop the fight.
Yeah.
Plus:
1. Definitly not the time or place for that. Way to much firepower/no timw to that.
2. That would look Horendous for us PR wise, please dont give our enemies rope to hang us with.
3. Im pretty sure trying to hostage miss I can set you on fire, who is probably not all that there mentaly is a one way ticket to getting charbroiled.
Is there a 4? I thibk theres a 4.
 
Also dont forget that Batman sometimes holds gansters up ledges as interrogation method or beats them up.

Slowly increaing the electricity voltage while holding ete is ruthless but a good way to get aggro from a teleporter.

Its a plan only if VG has paper to control etes flames and im pretty cant set himself on fire since she makes weapons and soldiers of flanes.

Also would Leizi be ruthless enough hold ete hostage and torture her woth electricity to bait out Stockpile qm?
Vetoed.
Since it's relevant and we'd know: is Joules's power just broad plasma generation/manipulation or specifically in whip form?
General plasma creation/manipulation. He can do short ranged blasts too.

Also, I'm gonna be nice since this this the first combat vote we've had with the EXCEED-BEYOND armor and veto any plan that involves using an ult.

You guys are way too eager to disable a third of VG's power set when you don't know what your enemy can do and you've been repeatedly told how long this fight is.

I understand your idea, but not even he does what you are asking to do in the way you say. So is not even a comparison.
 
@Bitterman if she uses Pilebunker she can then switch to Paper immediately right?

Again I'm advocating using an ultimate rather than gambling. It sucks to lose a module this early but we need to simplify the gamestate and Stockpile is by far the most dangerous here.
Yeah using pule bunker would knock out a module for a turn but immediatly switch to another. I think it was showned when When VG pilebunkerd White hawk. But would knocking out a module literally as a battle comences? And for the rest of it? Not a good idea imo. Never use your strongest move at the beggiing of a fight. It will backfire somehow.

What he said! This isnt going to be a short and sweet curbstomp. This is a battle with a couple of enemies that CAN take it AND we have 2 kinds of reinforcements on the wings. This is going to be a slog/ marathon not a sprint. We need to consider this as us staying in for the long haul.
 
Just rely on Agility and Telekinesis to take Stockpile away might be our best option, so need to rsik a module just stop him from party killing us.

QM can we have VG taunt stockpile to get his aggro on her instrad of aiming for others?

Since his hotheaded and hates JU and VS it should work. If ti makes the relationship worst so be it.

Do you all think that, once this is over, Belle will be able to handle our melee combat/tank needs, given that her power lets her turn any clothing into armor?
 
@Bitterman a question, I undestand that Black Swan can't reach the Sun to recharge since it would take to long, even with her Lightspeed dash. But is there a distance where she could get enough radiation without being in the Sun's surface or close to that? Is just that I am very unconfortable with her as "weak" as she is right now. Besides, while Stockpile and Seraph are online, she is effectibly incapable of acting.

Killers and renegades, liars and thieves, let's take a break from the combat planning for a second.

I've just updated the Corkboard with two new sections for Elysium and Qsanyin/Socialite Butterfly. Here's what we need to know.

-White Hawk. Nepo baby from Elysium. Seems to be second in command, or at least in charge of the PR of Crusade. Unsure if naive and (figuratively) brainwashed, or knows what Crusade will do and just charming enough to hide it.
NEW ISSUE EDIT: May have been Ladder "rung trash" before rising up to become Horae Guard.

Global Justice Hires:
-Plasticity. Support hero.
-Perspective. Support hero.
-Joules. Coward. Sex pest. Got bullied by Chihiro into growing a beard.
Valkyrie:
S-Lister metahuman. Top 1 psychic. Went insane a few years back, causing the Susurration.
May currently be working with King.
Somehow affected by the Ladder, Princess's mom?
One Way Ladder
  • The Ladder. Megastructure created by Qsanyin as world's first space elevator. Qsanyin died before it finished.
  • Elysium, one of the top most stations, is a rich people haven.
  • All the orphaned kids living in the empty spaces in the middle are called "rung-trash", relegated to being grunt workers for the Elysiumites. Belle was one, implied that White Hawk may have been one before betraying them for Horae Guard.
  • Horae Guard comes from here, they're bodyguards for Elysiumites.
  • There's some sort of space port being constructed, but it's currently unfinished.
  • Ladder itself some sort of psychic amplifier? Boosting powers? Made Valkyrie go insane?
Steps Towards Solving: Take "Beach Episode" global action to actually go up there. Kick White Hawk's stupid ass. Take either Sussuration or Defiance Unit fill-in.
Warpstar
-Monarch Lieutenant, serial killer.
-Dysmorphic appearance, a black outline with jagged edges who moves like he's being fast forwarded and rewound.
-Shockingly affable personality.
-Power: Strong, can teleport parts of his body anywhere he can see, making him hard to pin down and adept at attacking from unexpected angles quickly.
-NEW ISSUE EDIT: also apparently a Chihiro fan.
  • in possession of Telekinesis focused of slashing, Power Null, and Teleportation. Again, not beating the Vergil allegations.
  • Also seemed to trigger warnings of Psychic Interference in EXCEED-BEYOND. Making Silvio angrier???
  • NEW ISSUE EDIT: Works by absorbing psychic fields of others. Big danger to anybody with Psychic Sensitivity.
  • Silvio's gotten better at using his teleportation. Like, he's really good at teleporting now.
Two Rich Families, 11% In Stocks
  • Qsanyin was the first metahuman and first Algernon. He revolutionized medicine, funded Wikipedia and Ao3 (now Ao2) forever, created Horizon, and created the Ladder. (See below)
  • Now that he and Uiara are dead, exactly 11% of his corporation's stocks are given to her kid sister, Yara. Just enough for her father, Jair the nepo baby, to take control of Qsanyin, which is the company founded by Qsanyin and the biggest megacorp in the world. Belle Sabreuse, a Ladder-born but down to earth mercenary is currently protecting Yara out of goodwill.
  • On an unrelated note, Harper English (Red Huntress of old JU) had a sister 12 years older than her. Socialite Butterfly, who could create metahuman clones via touch forever. These clones kept their powers. They were part of Mc-Leod-English Construction, another megacorp. Now, Socialite Butterfly is gunning for Yara. We don't know why— perhaps to get those stocks. She may or may not (leaning towards latter) be hired by Jair. Or maybe she's a Philosopher.
  • May have cloned all of New Dawn during Crusade Fill-In.
Steps Towards Solving: Finish Eidolon, and then see what comes of it.

She's not though? She's [Invulnerable] and it took a prolonged period of Scarlet Maturity wailing on her to get her nearly depleted. It's why your enemies looked for more exotic means of dealing with her.

You guys haven't considered that maybe they're 3v1-ing her because they're scared of Black Swan.

Goddamn well still need to send a chimera to get seraph away but that means Silvio really us our biggest problem.

Can DS harrass him with Barriers?
 
Gonna throw my hat onto the ring cause I'm not 100% satisfied with the other plans.

[X] Plan: Gonna Be A Long Fight
-[X] Doctor Silver should put two shields on Black Swan, keep one shield in reserve for protecting Yara from other attempts at kidnapping her, and put the Hustle on Belle Sabreuse. He should actively focus on trying to find whoever tried to kidnap Yara.
-[X] Menagerie Witch should stay near Yara, keeping her normal clones near her. She should create an Espionage Chimera to watch out for more ambushes/support Doctor Silver.
-[X] Chatelet should help Belle Sabreuse take out Brass Shield - he was not pushed away by her earlier barrier so it would be best to focus her barriers on increasing her or Belle Sabreuse's mobility if possible.
-[X] Lady Leizi and Handyman should focus on taking down Ete and Joules ASAP so they can then help with other enemies. They should directly psychologically taunt them in the process - about Printemps and Joules' pathetic attempt at a beard, respectively.
-[X] Valiant Gold should remain in Module Scissors to continue to attack Stockpile above all else, because she is the only one who can keep up with his teleportation. If possible, she should try to move him away from the house and everyone else - perhaps in the direction of the nearby wooded area that was noted to have tripwires and C4.
-[X] Black Swan should attack Sunlight Knight and try to heal from his energy. If the opportunity presents itself, grab him and/or White Hawk and fly them away from Horizon. Above all else she must stay away from Stockpile.
