Pulp City: Spotlight on Harrier

Pulp City haben ein neues Spotlight über Harrier.

Harrier is a classic Supreme that has a lot to offer almost any Team line-up; mobile and surprisingly hard-hitting, she packs a (flying) punch!

A mutate from birth, Harriet Henderson later discovered that she was the sole successful product of a secret project to create super-soldiers. That revelation only followed tragedy however – the brutal murder of her parents after Harriet refused to be manipulated by an agent of the mysterious Sanguine into stealing a valuable painting. Things got rapidly worse as her entire life was erased from record. Desperate, as Harrier she confronted Sanguine in a fight to the death, only to learn later that he had survived their encounter. Today she is a lost soul, drifting through the shadowy world of Supremes.

A level 1 Brawler, Harrier has Flight movement and simple but effective Actions. She has the basic Strike, a close combat Attack delivering a base Effect (FX) of Damage 1, with Damage 1 or Knockback 4 as Extra Effect (EFX) choices (helpful to remove models sitting on Objectives). Charm is a Combinable Instant Action offering Self/Defend 1 as FX and EFX; ideal if you think Harrier will be exposed to counterattacks after using Strike. Finally, she has Fly By, an Overrun with 6-inch range inflicting Damage 1 as FX, and Damage 1 or Fatigue as EFX. The Fatigue option is great for keeping Enemy models in place, mitigating Momentum and Bounding bonuses and allowing you to subsequently Target specific models with multiple Attackers.

Harrier’s Brawler Role bonus gets an extra boost from her High Ground bonus from Flight, meaning she will usually roll 3 dice on Attacks. This means she is best used aggressively with judicious selection of Targets (Level 1 Supremes except those on larger bases, and Minions are perfect Targets). This complements her personal Power which adds +1 AP to her Team’s pool each time an Enemy model is KO’ed; getting into protracted fights with high-HP models won’t earn additional AP very quickly, whereas a Fly By on a group of Minions can yield a fast return.
