  4. Rasputina competitively

    in The Arcanists

    Posted

    Hello, folks! I need your help with the following match-up:

    Headhunter. Close deploy.
    ¤Claim jump ¤Dig their Graves ¤LyM ¤Show of Force ¤SetUp

    Pandora + 6 Pool
     - On Wings Of Darkness 
     - Aether Connection
    Poltergeist +Sorrow +Sorrow
    Candy 
     - Malifaux Provides 
     - Best Behavior
    Iggy 
     - The Mimic's Blessing
    Killjoy (buried)

    With such pool and upgrades Panda almost always have a better hand and 3 times 3-4 Wd prevent.
    I know that Panda 'll try to use her 0-action with trigger for free 8" push. So ' walk-walk, 12" range cast, 8" push ' bring her in my deploy at most in 2nd turn. And now my low-Wp model (Wendigo or SilentOne) 'll activate by her choice. Same condition sometimes 'll bring to me by Candy and Iggy. And if I haven't 13 in my hand I even cant paralyze Panda. I can't ignore Panda because of Sorrow and Misery ability and because she going to engage Raspy. And I can't safe kill her crew because Killjoy's counterstrike.

    I loose such game twice and don't come up with nothing, except counterstrike with Howard's flurry after Ice pillars blocking Panda's Wp-push ability.

    I have full Raspy, Ramos and Colette crew, including Captain, Sue and Johan but don't have Ice Dancers yet. 
    Any tips/advice are very welcome!

  5. Chuck Norris Model

    in News, Reviews, & Discussion

    Posted

    @Armour with all respect.. were is many characters in Malifaux, which linked and/or associated with terrible and disgusting person (real or fictional).
    Jack Ripper for example or Frankenstein's monster or something from Howard Lovecraft.
    You don't think that Wyrd support serial killer or collective madness, isn't you?
    Furthermore, post is not about model in game not even about concept art. It's about assumption "If Wyrd were to make a Chuck Norris Model", and more about fun abilities of Public Culture's character imho.

    Sadly I have to complain about seller @Saje. At 23th of december I received message "i will send it you tomorrow morning" about tracking number for my postage (payed 19 of december).

    Since then I have not received any new messages, even though requested. Hopefully the story will end well.

    So, I got my money back through PayPal. No answer since December, no explanation. Be careful with this one.

  11. When I forced get VP?

    in Malifaux Rules Discussion

    Posted

    Many Schemes contain words "...If <requisition executed> this crew score/earn X VP". Does it mean player forced to score VP and (most often) reveal corresponding scheme?

    For example: I choose Hunting Party and in 2nd turn my Enforcer kill enemy minion. I absolutely sure I'll score 3 VP from this scheme on 3-5th turns and want to confuse my enemy. Can I choose to not score VP at the end of 2nd turn and accordingly not reveal Hunting Party?

  13. Rasputina; strategies and schemes

     I'm a bit worried about Rasputina in GG17, so much focus on scheming and she is definitely more murder prone.

    Lets bring some theory here and assume the following strat-scheme pool:

    Guard the Stash (Strategy)
    Leave your Mark
    Dig their Graves
    Search the Ruins
    Set Up
    Claim Jump

    Which schemes you'll choose? Who you bring to your crew?
    For example:

    Rasputina + 4 SS Pool
    - Shattered Heart (3)
    - Cold Nights (1)
    Wendigo (3)  - Ice Pillars and additional scheming
    Snow Storm (11)
    - Imbued Protection (2)
    Blessed of December (9)  -  anti-schemrunner
    Ice Dancer (6)  - extreme scheming
    Arcane Effigy (4)  - unexpected durable scheme-runner 
    December Acolyte (7)  -  control and shooting
    Malifaux Raptor (3)  -  cheap activation and hard distract

    You can spend 1ss for upgrades (warding runes on Storm vs NB or IE on Blessed for more killing) or change Acolyte to Angelica / Silent One.

    Discuss? :)

    if we compare models we compare their  potentional dmg

    With all due respect, you are mixed in the same post several different things. Maybe decide one of them?

    1. You want to talk about OP models? Try to compare Yasunori with 12ss Enforser. Howard for example. 4/5/6 dmg, instant kill trigger, nimble, arcanist upgrade "drop->get fast", armor+1, Terr(living)12. And if you tell about buff from TT Emissar - I answer "Ramos totem(4ss) can reactivate Howard in 6" just for 10+card". That's more honest comparing. And I hope you saw enough arguments about much more effective Nekima.

    2. You need advice how to reduce Yasunori's treat range? Zoraida->Hem->Rooted trigger from Waldgeist. Or bait Yasunori on Waldgeist with blocking charge lines by Tree markers then - counter strike with Nekima/Mature Nephilim/McTavish/whatever. Or outactivate TT, Tangle shadows later->swap Yasunori and kill him with.. you know ;-) We not afraid one scary enforcer with all our tricks.

    3. You need advice how to win the game Neverborn vs Misaki+Yasunori ? Give us strat+sheme pool and we'll be glad to discuss this interesting (not sarcasm) case.

    Just more specifics and everything 'll be OK =)

  22. Dealing with Viktorias

    in The Arcanists

    The trick I think with the Viks is to realize what they can do and commit to a single tactic to neutralize it.  If you can get to Rd 4 with them only having killed what you've been willing to lose (or even better with them dead) then you should be in a strong position.  Fighting Viks is about direction momentum and control initiative if they have it you lose if you do you win -  so if they kill what they want bad, what you want/can lose good and if they are moving where they want bad and towards where you want good.

    Two days ago I implemented such thing on tournament:

    Entice Tailor on MechRider (1 hp left) - charge Tailor by SStorm - Viks charge SS - 4 Dmg pulse - ice gamin near dead+2 Dmg pulse - Raspy BLAST both Viks.

    Also I realized how difficult to predict Vik's charge/move and what Pillars provided less help than I expected.

  23. Having Serious Issues Against Gremlins

    My best masters right now are Lilith, Titania, and Zoraida. Dreamer is in practice. I have access to Pandora and Lynch but little experience yet.

    With Lilith you should practice with Illusionary Forest and Tangle Shadows. Place key enemy model in your gang and kill, repeat. With Lilith's 4SS cash you should have at least 8 model on the table.

    I agree piglets are best dealt with from range, but what decent ranged options do we have in Neverborn?

    My best masters right now are Lilith, Titania, and Zoraida...

    With Granny Z you have expensive but extreme effective options for "gunline": doppelganger + samurai and/or McTavish and/or Hans.

    Also voodoo doll and 15-inch placement provide you access to irritate key model even in they deployment. Especially with protection from Wildgeist, placed "anywhere" by Bad Juju upgrade. 

    ---

    Of course that's all work well "on paper" but NB really have much possibilities and you just need more tests and practice. Good luck!

    P.S. games with strongest players it's the best way to get experience.
