If I'm playing Ramos my strategies are the following: 1. take out the sorrows to reduce damage. 2. Work on the rest of her crew 3. work on main strategy and schemes 4. Have Alyce fire shots at her to keep her busy and afraid of head shot so she burns stones/cards. 5. Burnout or stoke spiders to close the distance and then detonate after she's gone.

Hmm, Leveticus doesn't really have access to any producing models beyond the ice golem and crooked men. Nor does he have a lot of spell casting models.

So, we have a tournament coming in a couple weeks and I usually play Levi, not an issue. But There are some masters I haven't faced yet, Kirai being one of them. Can anyone offer tips or strategies for dealing with her spirit crew? Its not like we have access to the best magic weapons as outcasts unless you play Victoria.

True, I probably wasn't specific enough. The 2 I was referring 2 were the Guardian and Hunter, not 2 as in you could only take 2. As for running Coryphee with Ramos, in treasure hunt they would be a godsend for his slow army.

Yeah, the coryphee are arcanist models so Ramos can take them without any questions (as Nilus) pointed out, they can only be hired by arcanists. Hoffman can hire arcanist constructs without frozen or smoldering heart with additional cost. Ramos can hire 2 of the guild constructs at additional cost. Leveticus can hire any construct from any faction at no additional cost (barring things like the coryphee rule.)

Ahh but Hoffman can hire arcanist without frozen/smoldering heart constructs which Ramos qualifies for.

Lady J, Judge and Executioner is a solid melee force that you sprinkle in some extras on top. Otherwise I say Lilith and the nephilm are the top melee crew.

Arcanists can't out-gun the guild or even come close IMO. Trying to bring guns will play into their strengths. You'll want to get into their faces as quickly as possible. I would bring spiders, Alyce and Coryphee. Coryphee are fast, hard to hit and kill and pack melee punch. Ramos toolkit 3 Alyce 10 Coryphee x2 14 Spider x5 15 5 stones for Ramos. Keep the spiders separate until you can get into melee. Teh higher defense will be important.

bump since its in 2 weeks

Hitting wasn't the problem, it was finishing them off. If one of those jokers hadn't flipped you would have had to deal with either the peace keeper or the desolation engine and either could have taken down something else before dying.

Things I'll be fileding once they come out are the large spider, the coryphee once I pick them up (likely one) and the Guardian (don't forget Ramos can field him) The Guardian is the ideal bodyguard for a low defense master like Ramos. The large spider is solid and produces 2 scarp counters, meaning you get 2 single arachnids from it for 5 SS and the spell.

Jack has arcane reservoir increasing you hand size to 7. And It's been ruled that you don't have to discard the extra 2 cards you draw with Rusty Alyce.

black joker on a attack flip = 0+cb, not auto miss IIRC. On Damage its 0 total damage no matter what. I had both a peacekeeper and desolation engine flip black joker for damage last night.

I ran him last night with Leveticus. I didn't use him to his full potential by far but his presence was felt. The 6" aura of no cheating or SS is amazing. And with 9 cards in hand combined with the limited things that hurt him he was never in any real danger.

I was thinking about what could be the worst possible run of bad fate and I think I got it: -You target a model in melee with you master. -Your master gets the lower card -attacking model gets a 13 on the flip -Master flips black joker -Damage flip gets red joker+severe I know the master could SS the black joker to try and get out of being hit (unlikely) and could SS to prevent damage, or cheat the 13 down to miss but its still possible you might not be able to cheat low enough to miss vs BJ. Just a worst case scenario and I was wonder if anyone saw it happen yet or something similar.
