Agreed. The OP had originally listed the "oppressive bubble" as Dora2 and the Emissary. The "bubble" talk was throwing me. I have played Pandora through all versions and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to pull off 4 damage for activating without another 3 models in the mix... and then only with the perfect storm. Going to put her new model on the table for the first time on Sunday though and I'll see what she can do. Thanks to everyone for the answer posts and clarifications!

Yes! OK. Just so I have everything. What was the "4 damage just for activating bubble"?

That I can see. Candy stuns, Misery procs and Dora's force move triggers... that accounts for 2 if they roll through hazardous. But for the 4 damage just for activating you have to move a model the 2" and hit 3 separate hazardous terrain areas. I understand the mechanics for a 4 model bubble of death with Candy and the Rider added however, the OP just listed the Emissary and Dora2. That's what I was trying to find the answer to. To be fair that's almost harder to set than the standard mid field Candy/ Dora1 combo. Lol.

I do have them in my standard 'Dora crew. That being said in order for them to get the best benefit from each other they have to stay close. The "Where's Teddy" action is amazing but the big bonus here is the heal. Which again means you have to be close or lure Teddy to get him close. You essentially have a 17 point beatstick in 2 models. Running them tandem like this has been pretty effective for me once I started treating them as a single model. Swatting enemy models with Teddy and using the "Bowled Over" trigger to push them into Kade's engagement giving him fast will drive your opponents crazy. Additionally if someone goes after one of them and doesn't quite finish the job the model that made the attempt will disappear. Teddy is a scare piece as well. Just seeing him hit the table your opponent starts trying to figure out how to deal with him. With Kade close those plans had better be solid because the ability to heal 3 points every turn with regen and Kade, armor +1 and terror 11, if he gets stuck in it's going to take considerable effort to remove him. If you're running bubble Dora1 and Candy's close she can even throw some heals to either one. I guess that was just the long winded version of saying "They work very well if you use them as a single model". The Rider is always amazing. Hinamatsu will absolutely delete models that don't use stones or have armor. I have never used her in Dora but she is my primary attack piece in my Puppet crew. She has the potential of dealing out a minimum 12 damage across three attacks with the Onslaught trigger. Save your stones for masks if you don't have them in your hand. You won't be disappointed. Hope this helps!

Maybe I'm just missing it. How?

Played in an event run by this organizer at Genghis Con. Very well done and I got to meet a great group of guys from his home store, Gamer's Haven in Colorado Springs. You can count on at least 4 of us from Enchanted Grounds Littleton making the trip. See you soon!

Noted, Steve. We have been starting time from first flip for deployment and most games have finished before the 30 mins. I do like your thoughts on time starting from the initiative flip though and will be running the tourney like that. Thanks for the idea! See you next week.
