This is a brutal use of Smoke Cloud that can really screw over your opponents, especially if you pair her with the new Dawn star or give your Legion team access to the Supes Ally TA.

Team her up with Nightshade (AA) for Mystics (wildcard) and hindering damage.

The ability from Nightshade wouldn't trigger for Shadow Lass's smoke cloud. It specifies terrain markers from Nightshade's own smoke cloud. Not that you can't do that, but it isn't as amazing as it seems.

This is one of my favorite pieces of the SLOSH set. She has some serious potential to really mess up some opponent's strategies. Use Cosmic Boy to TK up your cannon and Shadow Lass. Shadow Lass gives you cover. Push her to do it again (cause it's worth the click of damage). As long as they have no melee attackers, you'll really mess them up. Otherwise, it's still a useful strategy.

So am i correct in assuming that her smoke cloud trait gives all friendlies stealth and cannot be penetrated by even the superman/avengers initiative TAs or improved targeting abilities? if so then . . . WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! and if not then B+ applause

However, she can use smoke cloud, which are considered hindering terrain, and I think that the TA's you mentioned ignore hindering terrain for LOF purposes. Also, a character like SLoSH Darkseid would be able to ignore her smoke cloud as well. ??

Iirc, "can't" trumps "can."

Well, the wording for such abilities is usually "ignores hindering terrain for blah blah blah" where this says nothing about the hindering aspect of the marker (even though the marker creates hindering terrain) but instead "if a friendly occupies this MARKER" meaning its not stealth, therefore not subject to the same weakness as this blocks LoF to the marker itself and unless the targeting ability removes the marker, then the LoF is still blocked, regardless of the hindering terrain effect.

Her trait works exactly like the Midnight Sons ATA when the character has top click Stealth. As long as friendlies are completely occupying her "Smoke Cloud" they cannot have lines of fire drawn to them. This power even prevents Pulse Wave from drawing LoF as there is nothing for it to ignore.

This figure is RIDICULOUS! !! She is the cure for MAN weaknesses on other characters. Dr. Destiny and Psycho - pirate come to mind. Both characters are awesome in their own regard but DESPERATELY needed stealth. Bam...for 78 points they now have it. Lass not only grants her friendlies a form of stealth that is immune to ALL STEALTH BUSTING ABILITIES (including improved Targeting , superman TA etc) but she can prevent a ranged monster from making a attack as well. Just plain awesome.

How can she prevent pulse wave? Pulse wave ignores all game effects. Isn't her trait a game effect? Thx

Can't trumps can.

Except that there isn't a power saying lines of fire can't be drawn while the lines of fire are being drawn as far as pulsewave is concerned, because the lines of fire are ignoring the existence of her trait saying that lines of fire can't be drawn.

When you go to draw the lines of fire that would activate pulse wave her ability would stop those lines from being drawn thus nullifying the pulse wave. Same principle as wkM-027 Loki. Can't trumps can.
