HydroMog Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 so ive been trying to wrap my head around this and for some reason or another i keep hitting a wall. ive used rafkin primarily with mc morning to try and pass around a large amount of poison for a large expunge but that seems to fail more often than not, and when i dont try that he seems to either durdle or die fairly quickly. so bypassing the usual "can you help me", how has rafkin worked for others?

Fetid Strumpet Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well. Ignore trying to pass massive amounts of poison and just kill things that have poison with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpixelt Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Like @Fetid Strumpet already said Rafkin kills stuff, passing around poison with him is a byproduct of trying to kill something (and failing to put it down in 1 turn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Rafkin can hand out a lot of dmg especially if you target already poisoned models (1 AP charge). He is squishy, true. Him dying in a game for me is almost standard. So I always try to hand out as much as dmg as possible before he goes down. Also preparing a model for the doc to then simply expunge right away is something I use him for.

Fetid Strumpet Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 He's not really all that squishy. He's a 7 stone model with ten wounds and the ability to heal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpixelt Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 So far I found Rafkin often in a position where he charged off guard models and didn't had much around he could have healed of from / the 0 to do more dmg was situationally better. But this could potentially also just come down to my play style and I should look out more to try healing him and keeping him longer in game to gain more from his points.

Saduhem Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 The main way I use Rafkin is to target my own models with his ranged attack to spread 1 or 2 poison (with 2 attacks) to everyone hit by the blasts. I like to do that early on if I know several models are within range of both of Sebastian's auras so that they take 3 damage upon activating. Also, If you hit your own model twice with the ranged attack, the first one will do 1 damage to everyone hit, the second one will actually do 2 damage because of "my own concoction". In a hypothetical perfect turn, that's 3 damage after the 2 blasts, and 6 damage from Sebastian's auras. The perfect storm isn't always happening, but anything between the extremes will. And that's a lot of doggies popping up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatAndFauxtatoes Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Rafkin makes a great frame for murder target; he's incredibly threatening, deals a huge amount of damage and is easily killed. Rafkin isn't really about spreading poison, he's about beating things up that are already poisoned. I usually team Rafkin up with the zombie chihuahua, the chihuahua rolls on up and poisons my target then Rafkin charges in and finishes them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefyingReality Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've been playing with the idea of pairing him with a Guild Autopsy or two. They shoot the target full of poison, then Raf runs in and finishes the job with flair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpixelt Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I prefer @MeatAndFauxtatoes way of teaming him up with the Chihuahua bc it's simply more reliable than letting Autopsies shot (with Sh 5) at the stuff I want to be dead. With Rafkin's threat range of 7", a double walk of the Chihuahua is enough to ensure the enemy gets +2 poison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunchChomp Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I love Rafkin. He's so AP efficient: Injection from McMourning, charges for 1 AP against poisoned targets, and his 0 attack against poisoned target. I use him around the center of the board to cause havoc around the same time I've launched my attack with McMourning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolly_green314 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I tried this out yesterday, and it wasn't horrible: put my little helper on him (I am more impressed with this upgrade every time I use it). If you know you will have something in range that's poisoned, then use the upgrade and he can charge, do a regular attack, and then do the 0 attack twice. Five attacks from him, and something had better be dead. Plus, the turn you do this, nothing outside of 3" can hit him back. Now, if only we had something to lure models into range... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
