I really like Lamplighters in Ivan! brings a few healing, push, more concealing markers for Ivan to jump to and they also give him positive flips when they are lit! Also as already said Austera is a pretty solid schemer and she's pretty independent if you need! She's really good in vendetta too!

one Lamplighter in Ivan is good! the 2 lamp markers are concealing so they give you an easy way to jump across the board with Ivan/Mordrake! Also if you positionned them well this will give Ivan a nice Positive once per activation for the whole game! It transforms him into a mini-turret and always having at least 1 positive in defense is really good!! For the heal, it will most of the time heal only 1 but it's not that bad since it's coupled with a 3inch push! If you REALLY need to heal more, you could also not relent and cheat a really low card for Ivan and a moderate card with lamplighter so that you heal without any modifier.

McCabe can do most strat/schemes! SO I would go with him for sure if I could only take 1 master!

how have you done a 4AP Brutal Emissary? or do you mean using 2 Domador to obey the Emissary? if this is what made your friend concede tell him that there's way nastier tricks than this one!

why would the Yaksha needs to be in base with the moorwraith? Earth's remedy has 6'' range! Also Moorwraith does not have to be in base with an enemy since has you said the 2'' aura is for all the other models! so as long as the enemy is within 2 of the Moorwraith, he is in base with a severe terrain and also within 6'' of both the Yaksha and Jedza you can kill 1 HP enemy without any test needed!

For the acolytes I just wish they got tundra hunter instead of from the shadow! this would make them into a great glass canon! Tundra hunter is an awesome ability but the only model we have with it don't want to attack enemies 90% of the time!

Hello all! I would like to know which factions/keyword counters Rasputina? Or which models are particularly good against her? In conclusion what do I have to watch for? thank you!

last breath generate a melee attack action and is not a charge so will create a shadow marker after the attack!

maybe you're right, maybe not! there's been pretty good rule lawyer in my group that have said this answer to me and I'm not alone thinking this in this forum as Ogid also thinks the same way. It would be nice to have a clear answer tho. In the end, if Wyrd confirms in a FAQ Chi also boost the first duel total, I do not mind at all even if Monk do not need this boost really! I've played against Monk a lot since my main opponent really likes them.

It's on page 10 of the rulebook. modifiers for a duel are only added at step D : Determine Final Duel Total. If you look at Step B: Flip Fate card, they say to add your stat, the value of the card and any suits you have to determine your current duel total. While in step D they ask you to add your stat, value of the card, suits and any additional suits or modifiers to get your final duel total

Good to know! thx for the info! I have now even less reason to play her title than before! xD

the base of my lists were often this: Misaki, fractured Shang Ototo Minako 1 or 2 Torakage the rest of the ss were used depending of what I needed. (samurai, Effigy with upgrade, Emissary, etc.) I also took Jin in 2-3 games to try him but wasn't impressed that much. The wrapped in Darkness combo with him and Misaki in corner is pretty cool but apart from this specific situation I didn't like him that much. One cool thing about this title with Minako is that you can use Shang to create Katashiro without using your actual shadow markers. (edit: this does not work! since removing the marker is a cost you need to remove it to summon)

Ogid is right on the post you linked! he is saying the same thing as me! You decide to use chi right after flipping but the +2 modifier is only factored in the last duel total (after cheating is done)

I've come to the same conclusion! After a few games with her and some theorycrafting with a few friends we came to the conclusion that she is not that good. Especially compared to her original card! very card hungry as you said for all the obeys. Not enough Shadow Marker generations. She plays way more in a bubble than OG and in current GG it's not that great! Jin's bury shenanigans I've found are only impactful in corner deployment. He is a glass cannon that is good to kill armor and not that much else. His gun is one of the rare ways to create shadow marker but it deals pitiful dmg and have no triggers. Pass tokens are really nice and help you with activation control which is strong for sure but I still find he does not bring enough to the table. Maybe me too I'm not seeing why there was so much hype on her or I'm playing her wrong. In the end I much prefer to play her original version and I'm also way better at it! ahah!

you have to declare using the chi after flipping but the +2 is only added for the final duel total! Every modifier works like that. So chi don't change anything for the order of who have to cheat first.
