I like the shield effect. As with the other WildC.A.Ts, I think my interest will rely on when they put out an ATA.

I really like the shield special power. I don't see barrier get used much but I think that letting him use a mini barrier as a free action is just so cool and your opponent probably won't be ready for it.

As a Wild C.A.T.S. fan I have to say that the dial isn't disappointing. It does give Warblade powers he should have. The thing that baffles me is the placement of some of the powers on this dial, including the regen on 3 clicks spaced out. It's an erratic dial for sure. He does have a little staying power at 8 clicks, so I guess we'll see how he plays out.

OK, I did all the other WildC.A.T.s, so I can't leave Warblade out. Interesting Dial & I can see his Special Defense Power being a real tactical advantage. I like what I see mostly, but I will have to play him with the rest of the C.A.T.s to see if he is worth it.

I like him. Free barrier should be fun. Too bad you'll never keep that 11 AV for long.

At first I was very "meh" considering this dial. But for 92 points you get a character with huge offensive potential and enough regen to allow at least some bounce back, potentially all the way back to top click. No way around it, he's an outstanding attacker that can wreck some pieces up. Bringing this guy down will require a coordinated assault by a sizable portion of your opponent's team, leaving your other 208 points free to do their thing.

average figure at best

What's not to love....think Wolverine, and then add in Free Barrier action. I love when I can use a power for free. Even if it has some requirements attached.

Charge and Blades with FREE BARRIER!! OK... Set up a little wall...charge behind it...stab the ****** out of someone... laugh hysterically.

you give him a 2 range and a SC trait and i'd be over the moon with this piece. as it its my fanboyness loves him but my clixness says he come up a bit short of expectations. i'd have loved to see a click of pulse wave with 2 range called tree of blades. to show him sending lots of blades out at once.

I like this piece a lot.
Charge and Blades is great.
Plus an option of free barrier? Yes please!

For me his stats look disappointing. His dial is long for his points and that's good. He has options for some of his close attacks. His defense is definitely something that is lacking. That indomitable and the regeneration may yet help him stay alive

Defense gets scary low when not on the barrier clicks, so..thematic! Eeehh. Still would pay 91 points for the free barrier and the Charge/BCF/Exploit trifecta.

This guys better roll high for blades, cuz he's not going to be around long. Eh.

In Golden Age, he will take to the field with 3 friends of the "ahem" Rookie Con Artist variety, plus their "minder", Sarah St John.

This will push him up to a 20 defence with a plus one to damage, and even with his the eventual demise of his "fan club" he should still be swinging. Add Destiny Rk or Irene Adler LE, plus any competant medic, and voila !

OR - give him a flock of experianced DEO agents - same result.

Later, people.

LoL
