Rachet

Shirtless Viks. You know you want it. They're almost there anyway!

Admittedly my experience is very limited, but it's not that I disagree. I do see how good they are, and maybe it's because I'm using them incorrectly, but my issue is that I don't require as much from them as they bring. I agree that they're way worth their points, I just don't think I often need all what they bring and thus feel like I overpay, since I'm paying for what I don't need (or feel like I need).

Thing is im looking for cheaper minions rather than more expensive

Eh, smart opponent can play around that to a point. And even if not I have a history with black jokers and a blood bomb. She gets the kill surprisingly rarely. But that's why i love my student of conflict+Vanessa clean up crew...

So far winged plagues seem to be what I'm leaning towards. They are exactly what I want - cheap and mobile. Trapper I will have to test out, but that would happen when I get the VS box. As for Wokou... They seem incredible on paper, but they're 8SS a piece... Might try a minion heavy list one day tho.

Sure you can, just proxy as Johana

I'm not. So far he either died almost instantly or got slowed beyond reason and couldn't do a thing. My idea was to use him as a meat shield for viks along side with Hannah. Hannah tends to survive way more and I don't understand how. Perhaps I'm just unlucky.

Well the only consistent thing so far are Viktorias. Other than that I'm experimenting with Hannah, Strongarm (still no idea what he does, in 2 games died instantly like a bitch, in third was slowed to oblivion entire match), Vanessa and Taylor (again, usually dies first, which I don't mind given how much AP it usually takes). Apart from that I value Student of Conflict more and more with every game I have her as well as every game I don't (since I always wish I did). However such a list, so far, has two major problems for me. 1st is a cost, two 10 SS dudes on top of ridiculous amount of upgrades Viks have and the fact that Ronin are 6 ss each means I end up running 2 Ronins and a student and severely lack activations in a turn as well as actual scheme runners. I do see why Ronins are so expensive, but in so many matchups that disguised and hard to kill doesnt even do, well, anything. They just get ignored and I'm left with 2 ronins and a student of conflict on the board by the turn 3. The second, unrelated, is lack of condition removal. So far my biggest issue is that my models simply burn to death or all are slowed and I can't do a thing about it. So far I'm liking Hannah more and more, I'll probably get back to Vanessa as well, who, although not durable to say the least, can do some serious work with the blasts and/or maybe healing or even the fact that she's a sister. Wish I knew how Strongarm performs, but as mentioned, so far he just gets shut down HARD.

Ye, exactly, ronins cost too much while being mediocre in what i want them to do: schemes.

Hello! I'm fairly new to the game, I play Viks and I'm having a blast. I'm experimenting with various henchmen and enforcers (Hannah, Vanessa, Taylor, Strongarm so far) however I run into the same problem over and over. Given how heavy Viks tend to go on upgrades and that most henchmen and enforcers in Outcasts are 10 SS models those 6 SS Ronins, awesome as they are, seem way too expensive, to the point where I cut one of them recently and just ran with two. So I'm wondering. What in your opinion are the best minions Outcasts have and why, for which role etc. Share your thoughts, pretty please!

First time i pulled the slingshot off, pokey Vik charged a bunch of piggies including the Big Sow (or whatever that 3 headed thing is called) and a dog. She killed 3 models including the Sow, but a buch of small 1-2 wound piggies remained. But lo and behold, Vanessa was there with her blasts. I think in 2 activations I killed something along the lines of 9 models. My friend was... concerned. Distressed in fact, so much so that he conceded (admittedly all he had left was McTavish and wounded Ullix) and bough Zzap box lawl.
