So much thanks to everyone who's replied so far! I suppose I should give his crew a try, if I'm not too salty about losing to Misaki so much lately I am learning to make better use of Pandora's fading memory ability as well, really helped last time I played.

We generally play with tons of hard cover terrain, since we just started we're using old wooden blocks that we count as hard cover. We like to think of it as an abandoned and broken down temple somewhere. Pandora's short walk is sort of a problem as it's hard for me to move her around and keep her safe if she isn't surrounded by other models. Last time we played the strategy was Turf War and I got massacred, he got his high powered guys in close first and Misaki used her charge really effectively, and her blast damage. I usually don't run killing schemes if I can help it because I haven't had any luck with them so far. Distract is one I do well with. My crew isn't fast in general so I'm sometimes at a loss as to what schemes to play effectively, as my killing power is not great against stacked models like Misaki and her crew (Ototo is a bastard) and my mobility isn't super high either, not counting the Misery Loves Company of the woes of course. I just need to learn to keep my crew together in a blob or give in and buy more models. Or both

Thanks so much! Totally forgot about Insidious Madness. I will look into Nekima. I definitely want a diverse crew.

Hey all, I'm sorta new here so apologies if this isn't the right spot to ask for help. I recently got into the game and I really like it, but I'm having a hard time playing my crew effectively. I went with a "ooo you look creepy" impulse grab on Pandora's crew, and I've since acquired a Widow Weaver and Teddy to help me out. I mostly play my partner (he's got a couple Ten Thunders Crews, Led by Misaki and Shenglong), and my willpower duels are pretty much useless it would seem. He always is able to cheat up to a decent save. Therefore nobody fails a WP duel, nobody is terrified or paralyzed, nobody is losing wounds to the auras of my sorrows and Pandora. Then I get messed up bad in close combat and by his snipers and Misaki, who also has hella good willpower with certain upgrades. I guess my base question is this; how the hell do I play these guys against high willpower crews? Do I need to go get even more models? I'm sorta trying to not spend all my cash but if that's my only option, oh well. I will say that I'm trying more now to keep the crew as close together as possible (where schemes and strategy allows), as it seems to help, especially having Candy on hand to heal my pathetically low wound models. Thanks in advance for any advice.
