Samael - give him a (0) push towards burning targets, regardless of LoS. Could be put on a new personal upgrade.

Austringers - make the Distract trigger work on Moderate and Severe damage.

Lucius - Make Devil's Deal usable on models that fail the Commanding Presence - if fail, damage for 3 and gain a Soulstone.

I want to use it to drop Francisco with Diestro on some model, then shoot its face off with no chance to respond (like companioning a Rifleman or something).

I take Nino often for the Spotter ability to prevent points. He is squishy if caught, but usually Dita or Cisco can protect him well enough.

Santiago I've found mediocre, he's been good exactly one time when a criminal amount of masks appeared for his shots.

Perdita then goes, but only manages 1 hit on Lady Justice, and takes a couple of hits from her "Riposte".

Perdita's close attack is still Sh, so Riposte shouldn't work on her.

Otherwise, the Emissary looks like MVP. And this is the most work I've seen a Papa Loco do in a game ever.

If you have access to a Witchling Handler, get one. It will give you a lot of mobility.
