In light of clarifications this is my final plan:

[X] Plan Ending Fraudtopia
-[X] Mona doesn't need to give a shit about anyone not named Seraph or Stockpile, so just have her fire down at Joules and Ête; stop and attack White Hawk and Sunlight Knight if they try to help someone else, but ignore them otherwise
-[X] Menagerie Witch makes a flying chimera and devotes all her flyers to stall Seraph
-[X] Doc Silver puts a shield on Châtelet and Handyman plus a Hustle on the chimera and goes looking for the clones with Lady Leizhi
-[X] Handyman and Valiant Gold go confront Stockpile, lead him away and into the C4 if possible
-[X] Belle Sabreuse and Châtelet take down Brass Shield

If we don't need to respect White Hawk and Sunlight Knight then I won't. Just have Mona ignore them since they are ineffective, unless they actually try to contribute to other fights. It's time for Mona to bully some losers.

Frankly, while it's probably okay for Black Swan to take potshots at people, I don't think it's the best idea for LL and Doctor Silver to go looking for the clones when DS has near-zero combat capacity and LL is noted to be one of the weaker links combat-wise. I'd rather she stay fighting Ete and Joules, who she can probably beat on without overly worrying about dying.

Edit: Plans Have Faith or Surveillance and Protection are closer to what I think would be best.

I don't know if I ever said this but one reason I'm pushing for Homer to either have a Red Huntress assassin Fitness build or a Lightstep physical domination one is the hopes that it'll help keep his Lethal Anodyne addiction issues at bay a little.

We have medicant to heal him but a strong physical synergy does work.

Agree, they will come to us. We don't need to look for them and any unit that is not Black Swan won't be able to defeat all of them while the rest is occupied with Crusade.

I don't think Medicant was able to heal that. I don't think is something that can be healed to begin with.

yeh thats problem with fraudtopia. My plan sent the Menagerie which are basically disposible.

Might be best to just to focus on gettirng rid of ete and joules by having BS, Leizi and Handyman crush them. Handyman doesnt have the speed to help with Stockpile.

EditL The only reason medicant hasnt healed an anodyne addict is because none of them were able to afford their rates. if we recurit homer we cna pay for it and it be discount

BTW i have to ask if VG uses up all her Blue Attacks does EB shutdown or can VG still use dynamite?

She can still use Dynamite, Anti-Grav, and basic shielding.

Sorry, I know this must be frustrating for you, but there's some excuse for my fellow players not getting it.

That's totally fair.

I'd like to apologize for being curt. My whole house is sick agin, and I'm being grumpy due to an inability to breathe through my nose. Its my job to make sure you guys have all the necessary information, and I'm still not the best at that for combat.

She has a Shield Generator and Symbiote already.

The clones are bad in combat because they can't adapt, New Dawn is lacking in firepower, they have shield generators and can take to the air by riding on a forcefield and Doc has extrasensory perception against ambushes. They are pretty well equipped so I think it's fine.

so something to keep in Mind but not focus on. Might be better to pace it to just using a Blue then Dynamite after using up the other Blue attacks in previous scenes.

"I mean, they weren't a thing without Hydrocity? The three of them were sort of a poly-package deal . . ."

Also reading this I just have to say man did Hydrocity have game. Guess he took the weak and Uncontrallable powers disadvantage for Rizz and Fated Companion or something.

So in Honor of that.

[] Plan Poly-o-Denial
-[] Hydrocity 1
-[] Nepthys 5
-[] Umibuzu 7
-[] Potency Reduction 3
-[] Total Potency 10

Keywords:
Elemental Manipulation X2
Construct Creation X2
Ally Empowerment
Energy Manipulation
Enhanced Senses

A Plan to get powerful Elemental Constructs. Theres a decent chance this leads to a synergy too since Nepthys not being able to produce what she needs for constructs kinda implies shes missing a few keywords to create the autonomous snynergy. Either way even if it doesnt synergize the powers themselves work well together.

The clones seem to have some kind of SEP, so even with doc's ability it's very hard to notice them before they take overt action.

They still have firepower and numbers on their side. I'd much rather have LL fight Joules and Ete.

Somebody Else's Problem Field

A Somebody Else's Problem field, or S.E.P., is a useful way of safely protecting something from unwanted eyes. Slartibartfast's ship, Bistromath, was covered in an S.E.P. field. An S.E.P. can run almost indefinitely on a torch or a 9 volt battery, and is able to do so because it utilises a...

Just want to pop in and say this is a dangerous assumption. Not adaptable does not mean stupid, if you haven't noticed by how they just managed to set things up that we've been forced into a fight with Crusade. The clones being bad at reacting to new info is mitigated by having a clone with the ability to gather an enormous amount of information beforehand. My assumption is they will have some exploitable behaviors based on their overall objectives but thus far they've been able to manuever very effectively.

Now, in practice we can at least cover Yara at the moment with Chatelet's barriers and she's still inside the house but the protection is hardly total.

Its why I;m having DS and MW act as Human shields and sending the menagerie that cant fly instead yeh. The numbers alone should froce the clones to make a move that bring them out in the open.

HMM my plan is focused on BS healing up using SK but maybe having BS, LL and Handyman to crush Ete and Joules works better?

She can air strike them while LL and HM goes for melee.

Yes, but uh. We like having shield generators? They cost global actions to make, if we don't need to use them up we shouldn't. They can be nearby to react to grab attempts but making them human shields is kinda silly.

They both have shield generators and Yara has one too so its enough for this scene.

My dude, LL and Doctor Silver together have a grand total of 8 HIT. You might as well be sending Handyman alone against three+ clones who we know are definitely there, possibly more. No, our best bet is drawing them out onto the more defensible house, forcing them to come to us.

Well with Yara having a shield we cant really have DS put more shield on her, so unless were willing to risk BS and MW by letting Chimera fight Seraph without a shield or have Handyman almost die again like with Faustian.

We have to take the risk of losing the shields to keep our Heavy hitters and VIP safe.

Well yeh my plan is sneding the menagerie as canary to the clones and flush them out.

The Human shield is more if another if another Chain or attack comes to Yara so its for emergencies. Im not having them leave the house in fact I made sure yara is taking proper cover away from windows.
