I feel as if I don’t post at least something, I’m gonna get yelled at soooo
I absolutely love Dora and as much as you want to bring OoK stuff, she loves the multiple Misery bubbles. There are moments tho that you want OoK tho, I’ll put that in the end
As most people already mentioned, in keyword she really shines. None of your models has upfront big damage. But instead they can rack up large amounts of damage over the course of the turn thanks to Misery.
Candy is a must have, or as close as you can get in this crew. Her bonus action has the potential to do 4 damage to unprotected models, that’s nuts! She is incredibly tough to kill by conventional means and on top of that, can heal things and buff your models. Just….WOW
Sorrows are your generalists. They do schemes and strats and in key moments become a damage beacon. They usually like to go in pairs for the scheme stuff, but can be great suicidal solos. Between Misery and Life Leech, people usually try to focus them down, which buys you time.
Aversions are bodyguards, mostly Poltergeist and Dora. And their Bonus action Push is a great way to either save or setup Beater in your crew. Antipathy and Scatter are incredibly invaluable
Lyssas are great as beacons and extra hands for the Schemes and Strats. At 4 points I love them because sometimes you need to use Bring it on Pandora to save her whilst being Staggered. Normally you wouldn’t be able to move staggered models, but Lyssas will uh…find a way. Usually bring them if I’m also bringing the Emissary.
Baby Kade and Teddy are a package deal for me. Between Candy giving Teddy Fast and Kade walking Teddy to midfield, that bear will tear it up. You know what I mean…
Carver and Iggy are the Tech Picks for me. Whenever you need Ruthless and/or to put fire on things, you get Carver. When you need to remove Conditions or to have a fire Aura, you get Iggy. Sometimes they come together.
OoK she can grab a smorgasbord of models that she will increase their damage by 1 or add a move element. These pieces usually don’t merit bringing because they don’t combo as well as even most Versatile models. Examples are:
Adze with Iggy and Carver against melee heavy crews can be hard to deal with if you can manage to make Focus disappear from enemy models either with Dora or Carver. This is usually very difficult to do but can be soooo satisfying when pulled off
Aeslin can give out Injured which does make other models have an easier time hitting and Dora can hurt them when they get it too. Also if using the Emissary, she can usually put her trigger to good use by placing an underbrush and then attacking, but now only the Emissary and Aeslin are getting something out of it.
There’s tons more and I recommend to put the Core box on the table and to play one Sorrow as an Aversion until you get the hang of it
