Thanks everyone, but more questions are coming (sry)
So I started playing at 50ss and the build I was playing:
-Colette (Cabaret, Shell Game, Nothing up my sleeve)
-Cass (P. Prod, Smoke and Mirrors)
-2x Coryphee
-Ice Dancer
-Angelica
-Emissary or Mech Rider (with mech rider - Performer instead of Angelica and no Smoke and Mirrors on Cass)
So, I really not sure about Angelica, is it worthwile to ever pick her in competetive play? The ability to push friendly model is good but I really doubt about attack actions. The paralyze trigger requires mask and I usually keep any masks for dove summon or Colette/Cass df triggers. So I basically never Paralyze anyone with her. Maybe it is better to pick performer or some damaging model like Silent One?
About 2 Coryphees - is there a schemes/strats where I shouldn't pick them and go for some other models? And I really can't get how to play them into a duet correctly. Usually I'm too greedy with two activations from them and I end up with 1 Coryphee killed on the end of t2- beginning of t3, so I lose tons of value. Is it okay to go for duet from prompt on t2 already after both Coryphee activated?
Not sure about the big guy slot (Emissary/Mech Rider). Emissary sometimes feels too squishy, I really like Mech Rider but It's too lategame heavy. Do you even pick Emissary for Colette? I sometimes feel he is too squishy for his cost 10 (only 1 armor and that's all for defense, his heal is very lategame, good df and wp though). I don't have access to Carlos but I can pick Langston, maybe should try him or even 2 cheap models instead?
And if you pick some frozen heart models like acolyte or silent one, what do you replace in my generic list?
In general with this list I feel that it's too easy to wipe all of my crew by t4 if I am playing against aggressive crews
Thanks! -
I do realize that the game is about 50ss but our local community is young and most of ppl own models only for 35ss format, so I have to adapt =(
I hope we will have 50ss tournaments soon -
Came here again for some advices, thanks everyone who answered me previous time! I already participated in two 35ss tournaments with some success (won one of them but a lot of luck was involved) and have some thoughts and questions.
First of all, I found myself liking to pick only 1 Coryphee in my crew but I am not sure if this is a good idea. Two Coryphees are expensive, sort of fragile and I found myself using duet very rarely. Only 1 Coryphee is a good beater and make some Showgirl synergy. Is it only my thing or picking only 1 Coryphee is a solid option?
I also realised that I almost never want to pick manequin, it is peon and 4ss with not impressuve stats and attack. The aura is useful but I usully don't have problemes with scheme running anyway. And the worst thing it is peon and most of strategies/schemes requires non-peon models. I found this especially frustrating because other crews has 3-4ss models that are minions and can do strats/schemes.
I also have a feeling that including performer+angelica or double performer to the team is very weak. It's a support-heavy models and when I had more that one perormer/angelica my crew was wiped out in a couple of turns. Again, maybe I do sime mistakes here.
For aggressive format on 35ss (for instance, collect the bounty strat) I picked colette+cass+emissary+double coryphee or coryphee+gunsmith but I felt very uncomfortable with only 5 activations and limited upgrades. Is Emissary even suitable for 35ss format? And is it okay to play with only 5 models (everyone I played against had 6+ models).
The crew I enjoyed the most is: Colette (P. Prod, Shell Game for prompt trigger and Nothing up my sleeve for extra generation)+Cass+1 Coryphee + Gunsmith + Performer + Ice Dancer. Some killing power with cass-coryphee-gunsmith and nice scheme running at the same time.
So I would be glad to hear some commentaries about my thoughts because my expirence is very limited and my line of thought mught be wrong somewhere. -
Hello, new Colette player and Malifaux player in general here. I played like 7 games total with Colette (started playing with already Cuddled prompt), I will have my first 35ss tournament soon so wanted to ask an advice about build and miniatures pool. So far I have:
Colette started box
Angelica
Coryphee (probably won't have access to them on the tournament though for some reasons)
Ice dancers
Gunsmiths
Arcane Emissary
Mechanical rider
So I wanted to ask what miniatures and builds from this pools are most efficient in 35ss format. From my experience I have a lot of troubles against aggressive crews like Guild's Sonia crew, etc.
And also what models are also usefull for Colette in her current state which I can buy and andd to my pool.
Sry if asking in the wrong thread and thx for advices.

@spooky_squirrel thank you for the writeup, very usefull! So, if you don't pick 2 Coryphee and big model in one crew, how do you realize when it's better to pick 2 Coryphee or 1 big model.
