In a recent Battle Report, it was commented that Rotten Belles seem to be an auto include for rezzers. So, in an effort to to thread jack, I started this thread for discussion on the matter.
I personally do not think that they are. Granted, I run them frequently. However, my current model collection consists of 6 belles, 3 punk zombies, seamus, cck, sybelle.
I am of the opinion that rezzers lack ranged options, so belles stand out in this regard.
Nurses have a ranged 6 action.
Crooked Men have a rather sad ranged attack. (I'm sorry but 1/2 blast /3 blast damage and poison is hardly the epitome of a ranged attacker).
The Hanged have 2 ranged options, a low damage attack that does terror stuff, and one that screws healing (I love this one).
Sybelle can shriek.
Mortimer can fling rot, and allow movement.
Honestly given how melee-centric the faction is, I am not surprised that Belles are valued.
It was suggested that they may be too good, and should perhaps lose a suit on their lure. I think this would be disastrous to them (and to Seamus and Sybelle to a lesser extent).
So I guess the questions are: Do you always field Belles, why or why not?
