How is Circe NOT an Arcane Character?!?

    So I'm grinding away on LPVE, and I figured I'd kill multiple birds with one stone using Circe: Female, Amazon-related, Arcane. Of course, I discover she doesn't count towards Arcane counters.

    Maybe it's a comics canon thing, but does anyone know why? She's all about magic and power-wise she's the female equivalent of Dr Fate. Anyone have a clear explanation?

    Because it makes more sense for her to be Wonder Woman related. If she were related to both families the grind wouldn't be as tedious as it should be.

    She is not the female equivalent of Doctor Fate. Don't insult him.

    Well....... Circe IS a Goddess.

    Fate is "just" a lowlie Lord of Order. ;) ;) ;)

    I believe Circe would agree...she is most definitely his Superior

    Circe will count for WW feats because there is not a single character in legends that counts for multiple feats.

    She has her hands into everything but they are try to make it fair for some of the more lowly characters who aren't as ambitious.

    Circe is more powerful then Dr. Fate lol.

    As for the Arcane thing, not sure how this game see it but Arcane is knowlede of hidden omnipotent powers.

    This again?

    If there weren't any "Wonder Woman" related feats, then she would be considered Arcane, but there is, so she's WW related.

    Circe isnt an arcane character for the same reason that choosing inspired by Superman gives you an ice character.

    The game designers chose to adapt the D.C universe to the game engine rather than adapting the game to the D.C universe.

    Self proclaimed. Not really the same thing.

    And Cheetah isn't a Legend of Speed. :rolleyes:

    They should have made some count for 2, or they should have named the feats better. If they just said Flash related legend..

    Best would be to merge the groups to just three:

    WW+Arcane=Magic
    Superman+Lantern=Meta
    Batman+Green Arrow=Tech

    The sub-groups don't make sense, but make it more complicated to farm counters of families combined with gender-counters.

    Lantern would be Tech (Green any Yellow) too...... It's a device created by the Guardians to Harness Will for Green, and by the Weaponers of Qward for Fear.

    Red would be Magic, due to them being created by Atocitous though Blood magic........

    Sorry I just went full geek. You never go full geek.

    Rage is apart of the light spectrum therefore it is whatever the remaing spectrums are. Which is tech or meta.

    I can see you point, but I would disagree based on it's origins. while the Guardians and Weaponers used technology to create their rings and power batteries to harness Will an Fear, Atrocitous used Blood Magic to create both.

    While they are all a part of the emotional spectrum, the Rage rings have a very different affect on the wearers due to their unique origin. However we are both entitled to our opinions, and I can see why you would feel that way due to their similarities.

    If it is 'apart of' the light spectrum, then it shouldn't have to follow the same rules as those which are a part of the light spectrum ('apart' and 'a part' have opposite meanings, same as a lot of alots :p)

    Basically what I am saying is you still need the ring just like the other lanterns, and if you get technical I think all the emotional spectrums were once magic but power has been minimized to degree that one can control it via device based off the emotion, which is why they are still consider Lanterns.

    Edit- Atrocitious may be magic but not the red lantern corp, based off what you said about his origin.
