How you use Specialist?

You deal an amount equal to weak+severe, but it's done at once not in two instances. So no double dipping with armour or anything like that.

Ah yes, good catch

Red joker is just severe + weak. If you get red joker you simply deal weak damage to the enemy, then severe, applying any blasts that severe damage might have.

I'm pretty sure if that nurse gives +2 damage, it only affects hannah's target, while the blasted enemies are dealt the damage from the lower category without bonuses. Not sure though

Anyone out there whos sure wether or not hiring hannah into jack might be fun? ;P

I have taken Hannah with Jack quite a bit (spooky killer jack, rather than tormented jack) and I like her quite a lot. She works well with the Nurse, both for buffing Hannah's damage and as another source of paralyze through take your meds (although she can't force the suit like a Nurse can), can copy Jaakuna's lure and she also does a good job of holding down an area - plus the extra card is always nice! I like taking Hannah regardless of master though - I think she's just good!

Yesterday I played another game with Specialist, trying to keep him safe from the enemy to attack in later turns, but the Cerberus catch him in turn 2 and killed him in turn 4 (being the third turn paralized for the fear of seeing VS without shirt). The game was a total defeat for me, and again the Specialist died without shooting (I can't remember ANY game in wich he could shoot). I'll keep using him until I get bored of being beated once and again.

Can Hannah give out paralyze through take your meds? Her "Make a New Entry" Cannot declare triggers, so its my understanding she could not be able to give out paralyze (or any of the other conditions) from "Take Your Meds", because they all relay on triggers.

Hahaha you're totally right, she can't do that at all! That means I definitely cheated by mistake on a game or two a few months ago! I'd still take her with Jack though, just for general utility and another Lure.

She still hits like a truck, and the extra CA is great.  I run Levi and Von Schill, so I don't know how she plays in Daw, but I find her a great utility model.  The extra card is wonderul and you can get a 3rd Librarian heal from her. AND with I Pay Better, you have a nice focus engine and a good way to deal out blast damage.

How to play the specialist.
1) Deploy as centrally as possibly.
2) Spend 2-3 AP walking into somewhat centrally located cover that maintains decent LOS.
3) Keep the strongarm within charge range to kill anything that engages the specialist.
4) Pull a focus off "I pay better" and shoot things (laugh if that thing is in cover).
