Win/Loss: 9-6 Snowbird is a great example of a design philosophy I despise - the "If you just add ________ then..." Each figure, in my opinion, should be able to be used without X and still be worth their points. Snowbird, at 92 points, is not one of those pieces. If 10/17/3 is average then Snowbird is below average for the majority of her dial. 67% of her dial has the below average 9 attack. For a character who is supposed to battle the northern gods, this is detestable. Her defense is weak - and while Stealth can help, by picking stealth she loses her chance at producing any offense. Incapacitate exists solely to drive her cost up as "Snowblind" is neither accurate nor does it work with BCF nor Flurry - a classic example of creating a dial with little to no knowledge of a character. To get her to "okay" one must put her on an Alpha Flight, deity, mystical or animal team - so she can access the Alpha Flight ATA. To get to good - she requires the IIM Guardian as well - so now she is forced onto Alpha Flight only teams. My successes have come from putting the Prosleyte possessor on her - giving her a true set of optional powers. Hopefully a fan will get a chance to design her correctly - with stats that aren't chosen based off of forced team builds. EDIT: Since the 2017 rules update - the only improvements have been through equipment. Fingers crossed 2020 is her year...

Visible Dials and Pushing Damage need to be optional. This is the way.
