@spooky_squirrel thank you for the writeup, very usefull! So, if you don't pick 2 Coryphee and big model in one crew, how do you realize when it's better to pick 2 Coryphee or 1 big model.

Thanks everyone, but more questions are coming (sry) So I started playing at 50ss and the build I was playing: -Colette (Cabaret, Shell Game, Nothing up my sleeve) -Cass (P. Prod, Smoke and Mirrors) -2x Coryphee -Ice Dancer -Angelica -Emissary or Mech Rider (with mech rider - Performer instead of Angelica and no Smoke and Mirrors on Cass) So, I really not sure about Angelica, is it worthwile to ever pick her in competetive play? The ability to push friendly model is good but I really doubt about attack actions. The paralyze trigger requires mask and I usually keep any masks for dove summon or Colette/Cass df triggers. So I basically never Paralyze anyone with her. Maybe it is better to pick performer or some damaging model like Silent One? About 2 Coryphees - is there a schemes/strats where I shouldn't pick them and go for some other models? And I really can't get how to play them into a duet correctly. Usually I'm too greedy with two activations from them and I end up with 1 Coryphee killed on the end of t2- beginning of t3, so I lose tons of value. Is it okay to go for duet from prompt on t2 already after both Coryphee activated? Not sure about the big guy slot (Emissary/Mech Rider). Emissary sometimes feels too squishy, I really like Mech Rider but It's too lategame heavy. Do you even pick Emissary for Colette? I sometimes feel he is too squishy for his cost 10 (only 1 armor and that's all for defense, his heal is very lategame, good df and wp though). I don't have access to Carlos but I can pick Langston, maybe should try him or even 2 cheap models instead? And if you pick some frozen heart models like acolyte or silent one, what do you replace in my generic list? In general with this list I feel that it's too easy to wipe all of my crew by t4 if I am playing against aggressive crews Thanks!

I do realize that the game is about 50ss but our local community is young and most of ppl own models only for 35ss format, so I have to adapt =( I hope we will have 50ss tournaments soon

Came here again for some advices, thanks everyone who answered me previous time! I already participated in two 35ss tournaments with some success (won one of them but a lot of luck was involved) and have some thoughts and questions. First of all, I found myself liking to pick only 1 Coryphee in my crew but I am not sure if this is a good idea. Two Coryphees are expensive, sort of fragile and I found myself using duet very rarely. Only 1 Coryphee is a good beater and make some Showgirl synergy. Is it only my thing or picking only 1 Coryphee is a solid option? I also realised that I almost never want to pick manequin, it is peon and 4ss with not impressuve stats and attack. The aura is useful but I usully don't have problemes with scheme running anyway. And the worst thing it is peon and most of strategies/schemes requires non-peon models. I found this especially frustrating because other crews has 3-4ss models that are minions and can do strats/schemes. I also have a feeling that including performer+angelica or double performer to the team is very weak. It's a support-heavy models and when I had more that one perormer/angelica my crew was wiped out in a couple of turns. Again, maybe I do sime mistakes here. For aggressive format on 35ss (for instance, collect the bounty strat) I picked colette+cass+emissary+double coryphee or coryphee+gunsmith but I felt very uncomfortable with only 5 activations and limited upgrades. Is Emissary even suitable for 35ss format? And is it okay to play with only 5 models (everyone I played against had 6+ models). The crew I enjoyed the most is: Colette (P. Prod, Shell Game for prompt trigger and Nothing up my sleeve for extra generation)+Cass+1 Coryphee + Gunsmith + Performer + Ice Dancer. Some killing power with cass-coryphee-gunsmith and nice scheme running at the same time. So I would be glad to hear some commentaries about my thoughts because my expirence is very limited and my line of thought mught be wrong somewhere.

Hello, new Colette player and Malifaux player in general here. I played like 7 games total with Colette (started playing with already Cuddled prompt), I will have my first 35ss tournament soon so wanted to ask an advice about build and miniatures pool. So far I have: Colette started box Angelica Coryphee (probably won't have access to them on the tournament though for some reasons) Ice dancers Gunsmiths Arcane Emissary Mechanical rider So I wanted to ask what miniatures and builds from this pools are most efficient in 35ss format. From my experience I have a lot of troubles against aggressive crews like Guild's Sonia crew, etc. And also what models are also usefull for Colette in her current state which I can buy and andd to my pool. Sry if asking in the wrong thread and thx for advices.
