Well, finally caught up. Was a little worried I'd miss the vote since the update apparently tly dropped right after I went to bed.
Anyway, this update was Peak, was not expecting that outcome for SB at all and I hope Katie can come out of this okay.
For the FT group, I'm definitely leaning toward Menagerie Witch for Stat reasons, and I also kind of want to do LL because it sounds fun, narratively.
As for the Yara build I want to try to make the case for my own build (again). So:
[] Plan: Mercury Mind
-[Seraph] (6)
-[Adamant] (3)
-[Soldier X] (1)
-[Eastwood] (2)
-[Daggermaw] (1)
-Potency Reduction: 3
-Total Potency: 13
Which has:
True Telepathy + Flight + Elemental Manipulation + Transformation x2 + Enhanced Strength x2 + Regeneration x2 + Fitness + Mental Manipulation + Construct Creation + Enhanced Senses + Clairvoyance
Coming out of it with True Telepathy, Autobiokinesis, Battle Precognition, and Telekinesis as synergies, and Flight, Mental Manipulation, and Construct Creation as leftover keywords.
Every keyword here ties in to some aspect of the build, True Telepathy and Mental Manipulation create a pseudo feedback loop, being able to incite emotions in order to absorb them, this then gets linked into the physical aspects by Construct Creation working into Autiobiokinesis, fueling both attack power and regen, and the Autobiokinesis allows for extreme versatility from Construct Creation, Telekinesis allows the constructs to be controlled even at range, and Battle Precognition further enhances battlefield awareness and keeps Yara and her allies safe. Even Flight works with Telekinesis to allow decent mobility.
All in all, it's a versatile build mainly focused on melee and psychic manipulation, with high survivability, the ability to cover allies both physically and psychically, strong melee ability from the x2 Enhanced Strength going into Battle Precognition, ranged combat via Construct Creatiin and TK, and mobility via Flight. The only thing really lacking is Espionage, and that partially covered by Yara's already being decent.
