Editing Flechette (section)

===Vulnerabilities===
Although her [[All-or-Nothing]] attacks can pierce through any non-perfect defense,<ref name="SBabsolute e2">Siberian, Damsel, Scrub, Flechette, and Grey Boy are Worm capes at the 'if anything can penetrate that defense, these guys penetrate that defense' level of attack. - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!--https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/31038388--><ref name="SBabsolute e1">Can't cite anything, but there's a line that sorta appears in the story, where you run into the perfects (perfect defense, perfect offense) and stuff gets fucky - and the rule of thumb is that 'unless your ability beats -everything-, it doesn't beat this'. For processing power Contessa's ability would be on this level (as with Flechette's Sting, Clockblocker's inviolability, Siberian's invulnerability). - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!--https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/29824546--> objects charged by her power are not inviolable.

They'd keep Tattletale and the others company. I disconnected them from my control network, giving them free will once again.<br>[...]<br>It didn't matter. His hand glowed as he struck the flat side of the razor, and it dissolved into a ruin of glowing fragments. - [[Speck 30.5]]</ref> Powers such as those from [[Trickster]]<ref>Flechette moved to shoot, then reconsidered, threw a handful of darts at Trickster instead. The darts disappeared in midair, and splinters of wood and small stones dropped straight out of the air where they had been. - [[Sentinel 9.3]]</ref> and [[Gray Boy]]<ref name="26.b e2>Foil threw darts. Gray Boy froze them in mid-air. - [[Interlude 26b]]</ref> can obliquely act on objects charged by Lily and redirect them before they make contact. [[Vista]]'s power can also obliquely warp objects charged by Lily's primary [[shard]].<ref>March doesn't stop as the rapier points at the heart, continuing forward and using both hands to overcome the resistance of the hard breastplate. She presses forward until the hilt sits flush against Vista's armor plate.<br><br>The face that focuses on the explosive fuse was what allowed the sword to slide into and through the material. Now it charges it, let the charge grow with every passing half second. - [[Heavens 12.all]]</ref><ref>"The batshit bunny stabbed me, right? I telescope her sword, so it barely punches past my breastplate, she doesn't realize. But it does punch through. I concentrate the point that's supposed to explode into a smaller area and pull it away from me- screws up my breastplate. But that part that did stab me... can't do anything about that." - [[Black 13.1]]</ref>

If a charged object contacts an [[All-or-Nothing]] effect, they will nullify each other, causing the object to lose its charge:
*Lily's power versus [[the Siberian]] is the classic scenario where an unstoppable force strikes an immovable object.<ref>'''Belial666:''' Harm is harm. Since there doesn't seem to be a limit to what powers can actually do, think of an effect that could trump other effects. For example, a sword that cuts ANYthing is something that has occasionally appears in fantasy. Not the "absurdly sharp edge" version but the "name the object of objection and it's cut" version.<br>Swing it at someone and you could cut off a limb. Or, you could cut off their will to fight. Or their strength. Or their ability to interact with the world. Or anything else of them you could name at all.<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' But if you're talking in that respect, you might as well be asking what happens when the unstoppable force strikes the immovable object. You might be talking about exactly this if you're referring to flechette's arrows vs. Siberian. - Comment by Wildbow on [[Prey 14.2]]</ref><!--https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/prey-14-2/#comment-4085--> As this scenario results in a mutual nullification,<ref name="26.5 eConflict">Clockblocker fired his threads from his gauntlet.

The cube fell with a crash. - [[Sting 26.5]]</ref> her charged objects can thus pop the Siberian.<ref name="26.b e3>Up until the moment Foil, still screaming, using her augmented sense of timing to measure the length of each scream, stepped around the monochrome field he'd cast just in front of her. She threw a handful of darts through the Siberian and Gray Boy's head as his back was turned.<br><br>The Siberian flickered out of existence as Gray Boy collapsed.<br><br>Neither reappeared, healthy or otherwise. - [[Interlude 26b]]</ref><ref>They were thrown, and they disrupted connections to two shards at once. The projection disappeared, only to reappear a distance away. The boy who had created the time distortions fell as well. - [[Interlude 26]]</ref>
*In her final fight against [[March]], Lily's charged weapon conflicted with March's version, where each nullified the other's charge.<ref name="II12.x">March was the first to move. A dash forward, weapon thrusting. Foil's weapon shimmered before it met March's. A small, localized explosion marked the conflict between the two powers, each nullifying the other. - [[Heavens 12.x]]</ref>
*Lily's charged bolt lost its charge when it contacted the All-or-Nothing crystal of an underling of [[Lord of Loss]]; the crystal lost its special properties as well causing both the bolt and crystal to shatter.<ref name="II11.7">Foil, quiet up until this point, started shooting the crossbow, launching her augmented bolts. I'd known her as Flechette, back in the days when I'd thought my boyfriend, Eric, and Uncle Neil dying at the hands of an unstoppable giant lizard was the worst life was going to get. Back then, she'd had something elegant. Now she had something ''big''.<br><br>The skewers were about as long my arm was from elbow to fingertip, tapered at both sides. They punched through Lord of Loss' digits, where a hand or clawed foot had just touched ground to give him leverage.<br>[...]<br>Foil turned the spider-mounted crossbow around to fire, and the blaster threw something to their feet- crystal encased them, freezing them immobile within for less than a second. It was less than a second because Foil's shot hit the crystal and both the bolt and the crystal shattered. The cape was free to fire off some more artillery-like lobs. - [[Blinding 11.7]]</ref>

She is unable to escape a [[Gray Boy]] time loop.<ref>She had close calls, though. Can you imagine if the grey boy encounter had gone differently? 'Fight endbringer, stick around, meet cute girl, switch sides to hook up with cute girl, get grey boyed, watch as girlfriend flips out and uses her true power, watch girlfriend die anyway, spend 10k years in torment' - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!--https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/50295463--> However, as [[March]] broke an entire time loop from the outside at Killington,<ref>I'd already seen, in a sense. I'd figured out what was behind the tarp back in Killington. Gray Boy's victim. The only one, as far as I was aware, who was still alive. - [[Sting 26.6]]</ref><ref>I beat her to the punch. "March got to one of the time effects. It was the Killington Mayor, in an area that was folded into Brockton Bay." - [[Heavens 12.2]]</ref> Lily can presumably do the same with the help of specialized tinkertech.<ref>March reaches into a pocket. The second of her devices. Courtesy of Cradle and Cradle's back and forth with the Khonsu Fallen, who are led by time manipulators.<br><br>"Stand back."<br><br>The device makes the bubble fragile, and March's blade cuts into the skin of it. It distorts, and it breaks. - [[Heavens 12.all]]</ref>

Lily believed that trying to use her power to intuitively understand angles on [[Vista]]'s space warping might give her a seizure.<ref>Vista stepped out into the middle of the road at the edge of the fissure, then concentrated. She felt her power extend to every solid object in front of her, formed a map in her head. There was nobody out there, which made it easier. Slowly, carefully, she began adjusting. She truncated the length of Lord street, then did it again, repeating the process to make the four lane road shorter and shorter. The fissure down the center of the road squeezed against itself like a compressed spring.<br><br>"This is disorienting," Flechette spoke, as she gazed at the scene. "My power gives me a grasp of angles... and I'm worried I might have a seizure if I try to use it to get a sense of what's happening here." - [[Sentinel 9.5]]</ref> [[The Number Man]] can counter her enhanced accuracy via his [[Thinker]] power to dodge her shots.<ref>Foil opened fire with her crossbow, aiming so it was on a path to hit two of the enemies, and the Harbingers dodged the shot.<br><br>''She's not supposed to miss.'' - [[Interlude 26a]]</ref>
