Ok, can everybody just slow down for a minute? I don't even know which plans are winning.

I made the text on this bigger so that you'll actually read it instead of glossing over it. Now slow down.
 
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.
But she is our baby

This is plan that is currently winning

[] Plan: Gonna Be A Long Fight
-[] 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.
-[] 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.
-[] 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.
-[] 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.
-[] 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.
-[] 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.

I am not a big fan of it, because it leaves Black Swan in a three-on-one situation, while she is heavily injured and one of the three is Seraph who powers Black Swan is espically vunerable too.
 
Truer words have never been spoken.

I also don't think that searching for the other team is gonna be useful apart of detecting when they arrive, since they are gonna come either way, we can't really oppose them yet as we are and that plan wastes MW's Chimera in doing that when it can be more active. I think MW and Doctor Silver should focus on being reactive to defend Yara against anything that that team tries. At least in the context of that plan.

Ill just put this here for now.
Also quick question is Chatelet's gravity control strong enough to idk ground the enemies fliers? Maybe let BS be the only flier for even a few seconds can mean she gets a somewhat free reign to rain hell on the battlefield. Just something I though for a sec.

Edit:
Ok saw Chatelets bio and...Maybe it can work? Would need to create one near the fliers extremely quickly in order to work though...

-[X] Doctor Silver should put two shields on Lady Leizi, keep one shield in reserve for protecting Yara from other attempts at kidnapping her, and put the Hustle on Belle Sabreuse and the Chimera. 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 (flying) Hit Chimera to go after Seraph
-[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.

This is @Parabola plan but with the addition of not leaving Black Swan in a 3vs1, when she is heavily injured and vunerable to the powers of one of the three she is fighting

What about Seraph?

Your plan lacks an option to deal with her

[X] Plan: Hold on
-[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 some normal constructs near her. She should create a flying Hit Chimera to attack Seraph. Also send the rest of her constructs to fan out in anticipation of clones. Send flying constructs after Seraph and send landbound constructs out to watch for clones.
-[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. Chatelet will also attempt to use a barrier to interfere with and drag down Seraph.
-[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.
 
[X] Plan: Surveillance and Protection
-[X] Yara equips the Shield Generator and Holds the symbiote to use for emergencies on herself or someone else. Position herself away from the windows in case another chains comes to try and kidnap her.
-[X] Doctor Silver should put 1 Shield on the Chimera once its created and 1 shield on Handyman, keep 1 shield in reserve for flexibility, and put the Hustle on the Chimera and Belle Sabreuse. He should actively focus on trying to find whoever tried to kidnap Yara with his range, with an initial focus on the Chain. Make sure to stay near Yara to react as need be.
-[X] MW makes a Hit Chimera and send it to attack Seraph to keep her away from Black Swan. She should help with 3 v 1ing Brass Shield, once he goes down send Nevermores to further harass Seraph, while doing area recon with Doctor Silver to flush out the hidden clones. Make sure to stay near Yara to react as need be.
-[X] Chatelet should help Belle Sabreuse take out Brass Shield, focus on enclosing him and taking him down quickly while securing the initial area with barriers in preparation of the clones or Crusade members trying to attack them once Brass Shield is down.
-[X] Lady Leizi and Handyman focus on taking down Ete and Joules, Handyman armoring himself up and focusing down Ete while Leizi uses her lightning to deflect Joules' plasma if possible and focusing him. They should directly psychologically taunt them in the process - about Printemps for Ete and Joules' misconduct being why he's constantly looked down on by his teammates and his cowardice, respectively.
-[X] Valiant Gold should use Scissors to continue to attack Stockpile above all else, because she is the only one who can keep up with his teleportation. She should try to move him away from the house and everyone else, ideally towards the nearby wooded area that was noted to have tripwires and C4 and away from everyone else. Use the Telekinesis to throw him and taunts to keep his attention if necessary.
-[X] Black Swan should attack Sunlight Knight and White Hawk, while trying to keep the Chimera intact if it won't cause her to take a hit or get near Seraph, if injured try to heal off of Sunlight Knight if possible. Above all else she must stay away from Stockpile and Seraph.

Broadly this plan helps provide more anti Seraph elements to help Black Swan while still providing for an anti clone overwatch and securing Yara, while pushing into a slightly more aggressive stance once Brass Shield goes down. Edited the shields elements, made Yara's bits explicit, and added more specificity to VG's end.

Gonna make this four.
You guys haven't considered that maybe they're 3v1-ing her because they're scared of Black Swan.
Actually, this is useful information.

[X] Plan use fear
-[X] Black Swan fights defensively; if possible try to mold what remains of your light-body so the enemies hit your core
-[X] Menagerie Witch sends a Flying Hit Chimera to take on Seraph, while she directs her minions against Joules and Ête alongside Leizi.
-[X] Handyman and Valiant Gold take on Stockpile
-[X] Châtelet and Sabreuse take down Brass Shield
-[X] Doctor Silver puts a shield on Mona, another on Yara, Hustle on the Chimera and then goes to look for the clones

Main difference from Surveillance and Protection is that it puts Doc on finding the clones immediately. I think we can pull this off and leaves no element of the fight unaccounted for.

[X] Plan: Surveillance and Protection

Similar enough to mine to approval vote.
 
not to be that guy, but should we really put two shields on the character that can't die and has the best mobility when we have very squishy team members in the mix? I get that people are worried about her because of the injury levels but in the worse case scenario she'll be fine.
 
[X] Plan: Triage and Eliminate
- [X] Module: Scissors
- [X] Stockpile is making himself into s problem? Fine. You've known Nora for a decade; you know better than to take someone wearing a stolen knockoff of her armor lightly.
- [X] Leizi and Valiant Gold should coordinate and concentrate on trying to neutralise Valiant Justice as quickly as possible.
- [X] Handyman should attempt to swap out with Belle; we can use her power against Stockpile and her assistance with reactivating the safehouse booby traps, while positioning Handyman near Yara allows him to impersonate her later to act as a decoy.
- [X] Menagerie Witch should deploy chaff combatants to swarm Ete and Joules so that they can't come to VJ's aid as easily.
- [X] Menagerie Witch makes a flying chimera by combining Nevermore and Mittens, this should go to assist Black Swan.
- [X] Black Swan duels the enemy fliers, though preserving her strength is the priority
- [X] Chatelet deploys a barrier to cover Yara and shield her from further abduction attempts. Chatelet, John Henry, and Handyman (when he relocates) should then attempt to dogpile Brass Shield.
[X] Hustle on chimera, apply 1 shield to Belle and Handyman, keep 1 shield in reserve.

Guys . . . Black Swan is Invulnerable. She has taken no damage to her construct body and thus has nothing to heal. The damage was to her brain. She is a top-5 metahuman and Crusade has none.

I'll stop reiterating this point now, but you nearly got Handyman killed in Faustian by giving Mona a shield generator she didn't need instead of giving one to him.

The problem with that is that this is the start of the fight and if she goes down we lose a ton of firepower. I'm not voting to give her two shields, but it's understandable given that.

I thought she'd at least disabled for the mission if she goes down since she'd have to accumulate energy back with just her core, is that not the case? If so we should probably go with no shields then.

Understood. @Temes1066 please remove Black Swan's Shields and add them to someone else. And everyone else with similar plans do so as well.
