I would also have picked Hexxer if the question would have been "who do you think is the most potent one" or " the most optimised one" "the most universally usefull" "the one closest to an autoinclude". But I really like Wild Bill :)
I like Hexx3r's aesthetic the most of the base game characters. For mechanics probably Gata or Musashi.
We haven't found Hexxer too hard to deal with: her abilities are fairly short range. Though no Defense dice against green abilities, as I understand it.
I wouldn't call them short ranged. I think 4 is medium range. But with a move of 4 and the ability to displace herself, I've been able to Vade Retro targets that were nine or ten hexes away at the start of her activation (although not reliably, I admit). She draws a lot of fire from my opponents, now. But that, too, is good if I can use her to draw actions from dangerous enemy characters. Sent from my CUBOT CHEETAH 2 using Tapatalk
