As long as you always have strong control hand and win initiative then indeed you don't need SS in your pool.

Levi, 3x Waif, 4x Riders, Emissary, Midnight Stalker๏ปฟ??? If you take 3x Rider, Emissary (to get 4th rider) and Stalker you are already on 48SS which will give you only 3SS in pool and bare Levi. Really? I was playing Rider Levi quite a lot before (before errata and in gg17) and what i learnt was that he really needs SS in the pool for cards and winning initiative.
-
What do you think about Rider Levi nowadays? With SS drop for 3 out of 4 riders, in gg18 environment where survivability is important and with Untimely Demise upgrade i think this crew might be quite interesting to play.

I got some very good answer to blaster question (Sonnia in this case) from one good Guild player once - just spread out... ๐๐๐
-
Agree on that. I use to play them differently too. Burt loves Iron Skeeter's taxi service. Raphael is rather a solo.
-
By all means Raph is now very very interesting choice when you want some flanking model with the punch. I like him but what i was trying to say was if you need beater who is not that dependable on having a card with proper suit in your hand then Burt and Franc is the right choice. Plus since Burt/Franc went up with SS and Raph went down why not to take both? ๐
-
Have to disagree with that. Raphael is a bonker once you have and access to high to trigger Dumb Luck. If you don't then he is not that impressive but just a solid model. Not to mention his lower stats on Df/Wp and attack actions. Burt has built-in Critical Strike which gives you consistent damage of min 3, has solid Df and excellent Wp, good gun and very nasty Df trigger. In summary Raphael is weak version of Burt.

Yeah, better let's get back on the topic...
-
Cause you didn't deserve it. These kind of crazy stuff belongs to only one true faction - green one!

Let's team up with Arcanists and kick Guild's a** together! Sandeep and Somer - together we can break the Guild! ๐

Zipp laughs at the moment so much...

Who cares? Everybody knows Gremlins are OP and have no weaknesses. ๐

Just to give you a taste of what he was before๐: You always took Levi with Desolate Soul and Tally Sheet. Third upgrade was whatever you want (either Pariah, Oathkeeper or To Earth Return). You also hired Hodgepodge Effigy. Effigy put his condition on Levi, Levi Channeled 3 times which gave him to attack AND damage flip so he could easily shoot 3 times ignoring terrain (soft terrain didn't exist for Levi at the time) and hit enemy model usually for between 6-8 damage in average. When it was not enough to kill master/henchman it was plenty enough to kill minion and most of enforcers. With the last finishing shot Levi used SS for to trigger summoning Abomination and by killing enemy model he could draw the card and get back SS. Each turn rinse and repeat. There were games where I started with 3SS in the pool and ended up with 7...
-
You don't have to kill him. Just kill/push/lure Waif anchor and Levi ends in the spot your opponent doesn't need him at this moment. Since change to Channel, Desolate Soul is no longer upgrade you will need to take as it will guarantee you an Abomination every turn. With his min damage of 2 and usual two shots a turn into something in hard cover he can only finish already wounded models. Untimely Demise helps him to get Abomination when he is in melee or close to enemy models but again it is quite situational. T2 is IMO exactly good for him (good but nothing great).
-
Levi looses a lot in GG18 by his re-born (auto-condition removal when he is buried) in certain strategies/schemes and to be honest he is not that great in killing as he was (Viks are much better in this case) or he is not supporting his crew in anyway (like Hamelin or even Schill do). He is still ok thanks to his hiring pool but that's all and that's why i think he is Tier 2. Von Schill with his Nythera Aftermath upgrade can be very surpising i.e. in Ours where he can pull enemy model from good position and place it somewhere where it won't count for this strategy. Also his killing abilities were improved greatly thanks to this upgrade which counts in some schemes/strategies. As for Mah she is now really mobile and thanks to her pushes she can nicely support her crew which is beneficial in GG18.
-
I'd say Levi is tier 2 now and Zoraida is tier 1.5. Not sure about Von Schill too. Think tier 2.5 is where he belongs. Mah could be moved to tier 2 as well.
-
As long as she won't be blocked by terrain or another models. Or as long as Viks crew won't be out-activated heavily and she will be really really vulnerable to counter-strike. Viks were my first crew and i used sling-shot a lot. Good players were most of the time able to mitigate the onslaught and put load of pressure Pokey so I don't think those girls are OP.
-
True, it is really hard to find this golden spot between table which is too open and completely over-burden with terrain. One puts in better spot shooting and heavily pushing crews and other anything which blocks with special markers and incorporeal stuff. Damn, this life is never easy...

Ok, thanks. Just one note to remember - Serena cannot be charged. -

Draw combo? What draw combo?๐ -
Not necessary a true. If you 'buff' models making them good option to so-called 'auto-picks' you are creating diversity which is good i guess. I'd love to have a situation (in every faction, not Gremlins only) that, say, when I want to choose a beater I have 3-4 equally good models to pick rather than 1 obvious choice, 1 maybe and 2 never happen ones (this is just loose example not referring to any particular situation any particular faction ;))
-
Sammy to limit Wk abilities for enemy models. Trixie with Gremlin Lure and Slow trigger (very nasty). Zoraida's Doll when summoned gets Slow, then you Hem enemy model and Emissary can Paralyze Doll and Hemmed model. Nurse with Zoraida is still good option for Paraylze and Paralyze-like condition (Ml only for a turn when you are not engaged is like Paralyze to enemy model).
