DeleteAccount Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Basically, this thread is to discuss tendencies that are going to appear in the meta with the new book that will help some of our old stuff or make it suffer. This is more from an opponent perspective. Off the bat, the first yay thing I'm seeing is Seamus being happier with a lot more living models introduced. Leaving Yin aside, having his terror tactics actually work from the get go more often can only be good for him. The other side of the coin is our spirits. I'm seeing a huge boon of magic weapons coming out lately with 3 of the new masters packing magic weapons from the get go (Misaki, Yan Lo and McGabe) while also adding pieces with more magic weapons like Vanessa or Ototo. Vanessa is specially jarring as a Kirai player since she can outright nuke all her Seishin with almost no effort, pretty much killing Kirai's dinamic, and the vikis were already a problematic matchup for her. The big fat problem here though is wong, him being able to give magical weapon to a friendly minion means other factions heavy hitters will outright decimate our spirits making their defences pointless, I mean, Kang with magic on his hammer is a fantastic way to give some melee antispirit omph or pretty much any heavy hitter minion you can think off. And it's not like Wong is actually a slouch which would make him a rarity. Anyway, leaving aside my panic attack, what other things are you seeing from the possible meta shift that can benefit and hurt us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have a feeling alot of Jakob players will be coming. Trying to drain your opponents hand while filling yours. Using stitched together to further this, and I also see torakage being used alot more as they can switch 10t people up farther. So no more foot slogging Mr. Tannen, which can be pretty devastating when needing to cheat. Also with the Seamus idea, Yin is phenomenal and will be helping that along as well. And I agree with you on the spirit banes that were released, its going to make us spirit players really think on our toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blog Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Or you could just watch your back when you play. Yes a lot of magic weapons came out and our spirits will suffer a bit. Don't worry about it. Get over it and find a way to counter their counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Chiaki will see quite a bit of action from a variety of resser masters as her abilities are quite good for a 5pt model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanhead Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I wonder how Chiaki will play out, whilst her buffs seem very handy (movement tricks, counter removal and slow to non-living) she does appear awefully reliant on another supporting model to do some damage and/or control the immediate area. That and she doesn't seem to great at taking a punch with low def and harmless. The thing that gets her across the line seems to be her interaction with Yan Lo through supporting his relics and having the ability to return via his summon.

His Fattness Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Can't take Kang and Wong together. Wong will not work with TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Can't take Kang and Wong together. Wong will not work with TT. I'd dare say that part isn't relevant if Kang is being used in an arcanist list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I don't have the book in front of me, but is Wong's rule "cannot be hired by ten thunders crews"? Or "Cannot be hired in crews containing ten thunders models". I think its the second, and Kang doesn't stop being ten thunders when he's hired, right?

DeleteAccount Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I have a severe case of "no book at all", so not like I can actually know it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yep Kang and Wong can't be in the same crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
