Thank you, Andrew!

Sorry for the much delayed response. I just got around to looking at this website again and your suggestion helped me figure out what to do and I just got it working this morning. Here is what I ended up using:

function update_variant_fields($post_id) {
  // Get related Variant Cards using the relationship field
  $variant_cards = get_field('variants', $post_id);

  if ($variant_cards) {
    foreach ($variant_cards as $variant_card_post) {
      $base_power = get_field('power', $post_id);
      $base_cost = get_field('cost', $post_id);

      update_field('power', $base_power, $variant_card_post->ID);
      update_field('cost', $base_cost, $variant_card_post->ID);
    }
  }
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_variant_fields'); // Update on post save

Thanks so much for the direction!
