So for the cost of 11 SS, a crow, 2 activations, as well as specific activation order to full heal a df4 master is OP? hmmmm if that's the case then there are a lot of factions that get far more for that cost that are going to need taking down. 

If your didn't understan this by yourself, I can't speak more

I was typed Kirai but want to type Chiaqui the miniature who removes the condition, and 13wd is an example of an entire game, at the end I killed Seamus, hitting him with Banasuba + Sandep + Howard + Cerberus xD

But for me is ridiculous heal entire wd of one miniature with a poor Ace, IMO this must have at least TN 12 - 14

And sry for the offtopic xD

Honestly we can all identify models across our faction and the others which we thing are overpowered (yes Nurse and Doppleganger are examples) or badly under-powered (Guild Guard or the Beckoner or Orian all come to mind) but this is about Arcanists and not just about whining about what needs to be better. 

IMO this is the big mistake, we must balance the game, not factions like a separated entity, if we nerfed the Arcanist, wave after wave like now, the other factions still have fucking OP miniatures for 5ss like nurses (hate when heal 13wd on Seamus and Kirai end the condition or paralice with 1Ap...).

And for the Gunsmith and Acolyte it's a fact that if we have 2 options ALLWAYS one will be better than other, and in competitive play we want to take the better, no option in that.

I'll say this again... December Acolyte doesn't need a nerf, guys this miniature isn't an auto include like Nurses or Doppelganger, you doesn't see in every arcanist list, it's a good miniature that's all, not a must. If you do a little nerf you condem them into a box.

And I play a few times Kudra, copying Sandeep teleport, we can charge every turn, with 4 atacks it's rare you do minimun all the time, and with the correct combo: Gamin for + and Ml7 she hits all his atacks, I kill a lot of thing with her, and try to kill wounded Banasuba for do a nuclear explosion of 1dmg + 1 burning + 1dmg + 1poison in the middle of enemy crew, then resummon with Sandeep killing the Gamin and doing  new 1dm + 1posion in his crew...

In the other hand I'm agree with the other buffs like Cojo, Captain... Mouse, because they are autentic trash.

TT Mei is far away better than Arcanist, Missdirection and Recalled Training are two of the best upgradesin the game IMO ofc xD

Wtf!!!

You didn't pick a Silent One to shot through a mirror, Silent One is one of the best ss/quality models on arcanist and is minion so can copy the Sandeep habilities, and in adition can heal all the models not only froen heart and can shot into combat.

If I can I allways pick one of those and in Sandeep it's a really good choice.

I want to test kaeris with his new upgrade, on paper seems really solid low -3 the duels.

I'll play the 2 of December xD, have a lot of time to test and think.
For the awesome help I promise to do a great report... or try it xD

Hi dudes!

I din't have list for R1 yet... but weekend test an impresive crew for R2 and i think haver R3 crew too.

Ramos R2 50ss 
Leader: Ramos - Cache:(3)
   Arcane Reservoir 2ss 
   The Philosopher's Stone 1ss 
Amina Naidu 9ss 
   Imbued Protection 2ss 
Carlos Vasquez 9ss 
   Stunt Double 1ss 
   Imbued Protection 2ss 
Union Steamfitter 6ss 
Union Steamfitter 6ss 
Mannequin 4ss 
Mannequin 4ss

Test vs Guild, I didn't kill one enemy, perfect, I wan't kill no one for avoid frame of murder, win 7 - 1, Carlos and Amina with Df7 engaged entere enemy crew, and with 2 Steamfitter I recover the 13's for Df and have 3/4 13's per turn, imposible to deal with that two tanks. In the other hand Arachnid + Mannequin score all points 

Marcus R3 50ss 
Leader: Marcus - Cache:(4)
   Seize the Day 1ss 
   The Trail of the Gods 1ss 
   Feral Instincts 1ss 
Jackalope 2ss 
Myranda 8ss 
   Imbued Energies 1ss 
Sabertooth Cerberus 9ss 
   Imbued Energies 1ss 
Sabertooth Cerberus 9ss 
   Imbued Energies 1ss 
Rougarou 8ss 
Guild Hound 3ss 
Guild Hound 3ss

Opposition of R2, real Alpha crew, only focussed on kill, kill and a little kill.

For the R1 I want play Marcus too, but I'm affraid to put all egg in a bag with Eliminate Leader and Undercover on Marcus, if the enemy can kill my leader not only he wins 3 points, he denieged me 3 for Undercover...

For me the FAQ is obious: "non-showgirls miniatures can't be target more than once per turn"

You prevent Howard or Envy prompt, but let x3 Performer, Carlos or Duet that it's good but not OP like in the past.

But for me it's ok let all prompt again ofc  .

Colette is the worst Arcanist master right now, it's a fact, and the last Colette was a prompt machibe for one reason, prompt is the only thing she have, the rest of her habilities are so bad in comparation and in a tournament you want use the best hability.

His miniatures are good, yes, but you can use these miniatures like Carlos better with other masters, because other master are better.

Hi dudes!

In a few days I'll go to a 50ss tournament that can be played with W5 upgrades and W5 minituares on sale.

Only have 2h for round, in the last tournament I couldn't finish any game, I really play fast, but not the oponents (it's true), so I have decided play hyper agresive to finish faster

I have an idea of my crews but want your opinions, and crews aportation, my masters are Marcus, Ramos, Colette, Ironsides, Kaeris and Raspi (The jewel Sandeep is on painting process )

The Schemes are:

R1

Guard stash
Standar deploy

Claim jump
Eliminate the leader
Undercover
Mark for death
Hidden trap

R2
Reckoning
Corner deploy

Claim jump
Frame for murder
Search the ruins
Recover evidence
Tail'em

R3

Squarter right
Flank deploy

Claim jump
Acussation
Quick murder
Cover break

Hunting party

Cmon, not all 'combos' need errata, this need determinated miniatures and so many actions and cards, and IMO doesn't are OP...

Yes, it's fine but not so OP to be nerfed.

but for a discard I placed Kaeris well out (one the other side of the automaton) of Misaki's range and ended her activation.

I don't understand this, only works with 30mm base and with an enemy with HT 2 or lower, it's right? and the action is that you place the Medical between enemy and your miniature for no vision?

I've been on a hardcore Kaeris kick recently. One of my favorite things about her is that she can function just fine on her own, but her upgrades drastically change your play style with her so there are several ways to play her. My recent discovery is the brutality of a Coryphee Duet with Wings of Fire. Being able to setup the duet behind some form of cover, then grant them flying to Fly 7 inches over the terrain then charge a model from a long distance and obliterate it with glinting steel scythe hands is beautiful.

Amina is quickly becoming one of my favorite models, she is always useful and usually in a fairly critical way. Diminishing attackers' effectiveness, giving you soul stones depending on the scheme pool, and upsetting the balance of the game in general. Such a bargain! Combine her with the new Medical Automaton and you have a recipe for ever living models with control.

Can you explain me the function of Amina and Medical Automaton, qith examples please?

I read several times this card and never can give a chance in my brain

Medical Automaton (avoid flurries and H2K)

Uhm, how can avoid flurries?

Hey guys.

Yesterday I was thinking on the most tanky combo...

I'm thinking on Snow Storm, in base that he have bullet proof 3, can spend SS, have  3" to be a pain if the enemy ignore him, dmg 3/4/6, Frozen Heart hability and or heal trigger.

Ok if we add Imbued Protection up him to Df6 and can discard to prevent 2dmg.

Add too Warding Runes and a correct Oxfordian for CS, inmunity to and conditions.

And for the last, add new Steamfitter to remove RJ or severe dmg and add +1 armor.

Its a miniature with 14ss cost, and two more for 12ss, but i think you can be sure to take this guy in the middle and never die, in the other hand with 3" and big base can be very irritating.

Opinions?

Like @7thSquirrel said it's my opinion and only this, I hope help a little if you need

Guild        ->    Sandeep, it's the most vesatil master, not bad vs any master of this faction and can summon Metal gamin thats it's an win conditions vs Hoffman.

Resser        ->    Mei, she can beat summons with his multiple atacks and has this jewel called... Kang, enought for me.

Nb            ->    Raspi, the faction abuses to horror and we have FH crew, and IMO, the hardest master is Pandora, and Raspi have a nice match vs her and no bad vs the rest.

Arcanists    ->    Kaeris, in a faction with powefull miniatures and with W5 upgrades we can have access to an hability for down his stats in all duels.

Outcasts    ->    Marcus, I think Vikis are so much powerfull and can down easy Ramos or another Arcanist for his movility and ignore armor capacity, but Marcos can down him easy and his Alpha have more range, never lost vs Vikis, all time 10-0, and vs the rest of the faction doesn't are bad, something like Raspi vs Nb.

10T         ->    Sandeep, no preferences here so I use the best tier in our faction thats it's good vs all his masters.

Gremlins     ->    Ramos or Sandeep, combat fire with fire, they have so many miniatures, so take a summoner to try win activation control.

True, this Wyrd... always fuck all my combos xD

One thing, when you change the model it's a new model? my question is for Colette and his  trigger on prompt, you can reactivate the human and turn into beast to non sacrifice in the end of the turn?

This is madness, Acolytes doesn't are soo good like you said, true, they are good, but not OP.

You really start every Arcanist list with an Acolyte like Nurse in Ress? I think no, for this reason think they are good at 7ss, if you up they to 8ss they never, NEVER will see again in one crew...

Toni (Vet Fighter, Union Pres, Runes)

Amina (Runes)

3 Mages (Shields, Runes, Rehearsed)

2 December Acolytes

Union Steamfitter

Too many for me, I think can be better -2 Acolytes + 1 Myranda + IE + Effigy

Acolytes are so good, but you need and 4 card with IE can be nice for Mages, in the other hand Effigy can give a nice burning to  on Toni and always is good have condition removal and cheaper interact.

What I like about the emissary is that is cannot get shutdown as a mirror so you can position it centrally and have such a huge threat on Raspy. It makes her Paralyze that much deadlier since it has such a short range and basically relies on mirrors in order to work. It also means she can use her (0) attack through the emissary which is something that couldn't happen before so it can in essence give her an additional attack. 

One thing, this atack still have an , so, if the Emissary is engaged Raspi can't shot to the enemy unless you randomize, it's right?

In many games ago I'm starting apreciate Armor of December, this push is so good, you don´t need activate Snow and pass activation with the oportunity for the enemy to engage again, and the Shattered Heart it's a too expensive upgrade.

In the other hand if you select Shattered Heart i think Snow is a MUST, because it´s the only can throw Raspi out of combat, and if you let Rapi engaged, you usually loss.

I usually want wear Seize of the Day and Combat Mechanic, many times I'll you play agresive and I can do that:

Ramos summon 3 spiders in contact with the miniature you want die, shot him 2 times with -3df and chain activates Joss to charge him for 2 hits more, with  if you wear Under Presure too.

Yes, only of one of them =P
