Cheers for all the feed back I managed to take Nico to a tournament yesterday and didn't come last so there's hope.
Currently running Nico, Mort, Mali child, Sybelle, Necro and two belles. Oh and if you're wondering luring something close by into range of pounce and smell fear then hitting it with a fast necro all while within Nico's + bubble is a bit tasty.
