Can anyone walk me through the differences between the two Ambrosia plans? I am lost when it comes to counting keywords and plugging in synergy knowledge. Is it mostly phasewalking vs autobiokinesis?
 
@Bitterman let's say hypothetically we send MW to the Frozen Throne, would Katie's Buddy version of her work the same way as SB's in that clone MW's constructs wouldn't come out, or at least clearly inferior to the actual MW?
Actually, with how Katie's power worlds now, you think a MW clone would be smart enough to user her Lowe effectively. You would need animals to copy, however.

Fun fact: Katie was a split-second decision. I was struggling with now to reconcile Socialite Butterfly's fate—just humiliating and killing her felt wrong—when someone suggested Zeno for Dynamite. The power to reverse time gave me the idea, and I was a little bummed when he wasn't included in a plan. Then, I remembered Justiciar had Biokinesis.

Still wouldn't have happened without Yara hitting that Nat20 REP however. I love it when the dice work with me.

Also, after thinking about it, Flight of the Bumblebee is too damn long. So now you're getting a fifth Fill-in choice:

The Egg of the King (The Defiance Unit, Triss, Octavius, Edgar, Horae Guard)

So voting aside, I have a couple observations about Hand.

Firstly, he pretty clearly has a not insignificant ount of power invested into each of the Mysteries, which as we saw with SB can be a vulnerability. While I don't expect killing them to be as effective as what happened with SB, it seems likely that eliminating them will weaken Hand.

Secondly, a hand can't act independently, so... who's Hand is he?

(also, @Bitterman was the device SB used to counter DSs power lost, or does Katie still have it?)
 
Well if we're bringing up Song plans

[] Ambrosia Dose: Dragon of Apiary
-[] Daggermaw
-[] Mr. Hunch
-[] Soldier X
-[] Steadfast
-[] Million Minefields

Basically Scorpio's Iroh plan except it has Million's in it. I like the idea of people hitting Song's invulnerable body, which he then channels that kinetic energy back to his opponent.

The Egg of the King (The Defiance Unit, Triss, Octavius, Edgar)
Froths at the mouth

Well we know the name of our Guts expy at least

I'm really happy this worked out this way tbh. Much more satisfying than just killing her off as another "psycho" would've been.

Bitterman. QM. You make great stuff.
STOP GIVING US CHOICES! (affectionate)
You have 5 fishing rods worths of tantalizing bait.
 
By the way, we saw phasewalking be used offensively in the update, which speaks interesting things to its limitations and how it will work with the other powers in Dreamer.
 
The alchemist
The best sign imo the hand was a man who made himself into that thing he is now
Fuckin' Phologistion is out of goddamn mind.
Hey I know that word from genshin impact
She was hungry. Starving. Her flames had all but guttered out. It had been too long since she had fed.
I want to save her
Shut up, shut up, shut up!" 7 shouts, hitting him further, "We know it's likely Rotwang's experiment from Wonderland! 67%! But you haven't confirmed it."
His name revealed as marked steelheart as possibly more of a villain in my book
"If things keep going this way, 12 is going to let 11 off his leash. And if The Man with a Boyish Smile is let loose, I will personally make sure he takes care of you too. Do you want to go the way of Valiant Blue and Yohanna Oliveira?!"
More names more my board
Because everytime I close my eyes, all I can think about is what he's done. I kill him in my dreams, every night."
This man seems like a guy with guts
And we finally see more Homer, Lethal Anondyne, and...oh dear, @daedalus725 your oc is in trouble.
He's in danger yes but has Emperor clobersaurus in his corner so we still have the chance to save him
Also yeah I think we can reasonably guess Valkyrie's daughters are Moon River (Eve) and Lantern (Lilith).
I mean technically she has implied she lost the babies in the more traditional sense
I wonder if we can make a build that just gives Reality Warping.
Considering that synergies can piggyback off each other, it could be doable.

Also, lol on me for thinking that 3 was Interlocutor.

I wonder what were the other 3 places Yara and Co could have gone to.
I am against reality. Warping is a regular power in general (scarlet witch is my go to example for why it just ends up making the setting worse)
I'm much more inclined to use Red Huntress now. We don't need the full synergy set, we saw in the update that the scaling component can upgrade keywords. So we get Intangibility, but we can bump it up to Phasewalking.
I think Phasewalking is a rad power that I want us to get
I'm not fully done picking my brain off the floor but I'd like to state for the record that I'm still feeling very positive over Kermie's build.



I'm also leaning in the direction of Handyman definitely going to the FZ, alongside either Chatelet or Menagerie Witch. Probably MW due to a higher ESP, but honestly, the child going missing is the more narratively dangerous option, so who knows.
Yeah but she's an orphan:V
Uh, I don't think I'll have the time to give out a whole quote reaction… @daedalus725, you ok? I'm pretty sure that was your candidate getting his ass kicked in that LA segment.
He's bloody, beaten but unbroken as far as we can tell it's good to know what mission i have been saving my points for
Also
[] Frozen Jaunt
-[] Chatelet
-[] Handyman
This team is my preferred list to send because it's not based upon what we are leaving behind, but also actually on trying to make sure that our folks in the frozen thrown can get through all right
And Yara. Yara how I adore you. I'm so glad there's a character like this in the story to counter the more cynical characters (and if we're being honest: the more bloodthristy voters lol)
She's so Batman coded
Apotheosis implies at one point he wasn't a god
Hence him picking a name that has to do with alchemy
Does Hand/Trismegistus need to be constantly fed biomatter?? Did Acid Rain find that out and went mad from the revelation, and decided the best course of action was killing as much of his food as possible???
Nah because it specifically mentioned plants I think it's the bugsTM. Y'all remember the bugs right
I'm a little bummed by no Creature's Den, ngl lol
I want to go there because I want to see the Creature
 
[X] Plan: Bodyguard Duty
[X] Ambrosia Dose: Dreamer From Beyond Our World

No, I don't want anyone to think this is because I do not want more black gold yuri
This is partially because we are definitely doing the YQ & demon flames mission this turn if I remember our planning correctly and those are two that I really think it would be better to have LL for narrative plus we can always get more opportunities for the yuri

This hits Battle Precognition, Telepathy and Telekinesis, with the main tradeoff being we get Intangibility instead of Phasewalking, but incorporates a scaling power component instead.
