Say I take Joss in a Rasputina crew. Joss has Armour +2 but if Raspy uses Decembers Touch to give him frozen heart and armour +2 then does Joss now have Armour +4 (until the end of the turn)?

Hi, i usually play Sandeep, but I've just bought Ironsides and I'm picking a crew for a game (reckoning, and a killy scheme pool). I love Amina and use her often with a Sandeep but I'm not really getting why people think she's particularly suited to Ironsides. Amina stops enemies from attacking things but Toni wants to get hit. So what am I missing here? in fact I also don't really see the mages thing either. Again I love them with Sandeep as he can stop them from having to randomise, whereas Toni can't and I want her engaged with everything right?

How come the Emissary doesn't count as engaged for Ice Mirror?

The Arcane Emissary's 0 action removes an enemy's non-station characteristics i.e. Construct, living, academic, M&SU, showgirl, etc etc basically everything except their rank (Minion, enforcer, master, totem etc). Im interested to hear anyone's examples of how this could be useful?

I'm relatively new to the game and I've joined a shifting loyalties campaign. Time to buy a master but I've got a mixed crew of arcanists: Joss, Kudra, Mech Rider, Arcane Emmisary, 1 Oxfordian Mage, 2 December Acolytes to choose from. The masters I can choose from are Rasputina, Sandeep, or Ramos. One problem is that for this game week I can only afford the master and not any upgrades (you even have to pay scrip for 0 upgrades). I'll have to face Asami and a ten thunders crew in one game and Nicodem with some rezzers in another. Reconnoiter, Distract, Vendetta, Assasinate, Bodyguard. At the moment I'm thinking Rasputina and the Wendigo to paralyse and eat things. The acolytes can be her ice mirrors and she can give out frozen heart and armour +2 if needed. If anyone can see a better course then feel free to illuminate me.

Using Rasputina's Freeze Over cast action can you target your own engaged model and hence paralyse the enemies in base to base contact? If your friendly target has Frozen Heart are they then immune to the paralyses but the enemies still get it?

Thanks. I bought them separately to go with my Sandeep crew. The upgrade wasn't included but now i'll track it down and be able to bring in the 'essence of power' (3ss), giving them +1 casting, effectively for free!

Excuse me but I'm new to the game. What's this thing about 3 mages for 15ss? Is it an upgrade? where can i get it?

Thank you for these answers. To be clear though, does anyone play with Kudra? Can she block line of sight from shooters by O actioning a forest in front of them? Also, with her butterfly jump. If you're targeted with a ranged attack and you butterfly jump into their engagement zone, does the attack fail?

So then what's the point of it being height 4?

Hi, I'm new to the game and I've got the Beacon of Knowledge set with Sandeep and his crew. Kudra is able to zero action an Illusionary Forest - 50mm marker within range (10) which is treated as Ht 4 terrain with dense, severe, soft cover traits. Does this mean that an opponent can't get LoS through it? Can they shoot through it? and, although the opponent would obviously just walk around it, in principle would they have to walk 12 to get through it (4 up, 4 through, 4 down) or something like that?
