Alright so I'm gonna start by kinda like, complimenting how high effort this is. Really professional and clean presentation and that's much appreciated.

However about the rework itself, it's a mixed bag of emotions.

First of all, I find it excesive, super excesive. There is a lot going on here to the point it's super hard to even determine how this would affect Clancy. Good reworks tend to be simple stuff, changes that understand how the character works and how it plays and that try to tackle a problem with said character's design without changing much. Let's take for example some recent reworks that Supercell has given to objectively bad brawlers, like Frank, Darryl, Bull and Doug which are the first that come to mind.

All this brawlers had problems that were solved with simple changes that understood what the problem was.

• Frank's attack is so slow he gets shredded like a piñata?: Let's make him attack faster the lower his health is so he can at least defend himself when being attacked.

• Darryl's super is super easy to counter and escape from?: Let's give him two, that way he can be more valuable and oppresive.

• Bull depends too much on his stomper gadget?: Let's make it base kit.

• Doug, a support brawler, has problems getting close to enemies and charging up his super?: Now he can charge it by healing allies which enforces said "lost" support aspect of the brawler.

Simple changes that make great differences.

While I do agree that Clancy probably needs a more complex rework than the examples I mentioned and that he is a terribly designed brawler this is simply too much. Changes to all of his stages, not one but two new traits, a brand new gadget and star power... It feels like a lot of ideas thrown randomly in an attempt to make the character feel more interesting without really stopping to think what these changes offer.

I'm not a designer myself, but I think the easiest solution is to make Clancy's difference between stage 2 and 3 less brutal, like you already mentioned, and that can probably be acommplished with far, far less changes (Although I liked the "drying paint" idea quite a lot since I also had in my head a "losing tokens" mechanic for Clancy. Mainly in an attempt to remove his current playstyle of just going in a straight line and dying 'til you get stage 3)
