132. Virtuoso. I initially proposed Virtuoso as an alternate name for an Amazonrider, but then I realized that the Virtuoso needed to be something truly broad. So, it's more than just a Queen plus Nightrider; it's basically a Queen plus Buffalorider. (QNNCCZZ)
This is almost obscenely powerful, and probably should be limited to something on a very large board (16x16 or more) and only as a piece to promote to... or, it could be part of a game full of obscenely powerful pieces (and there are plenty of those to go around).
