Single Coryphee - worth it?

[Math Mathonwy]

Well, essentially what it says on the tin. Do you find a singular Coryphee worth it for, e.g., Mei Feng, Ramos, Colette, or Kaeris? Or is the Duet option too good to pass up on?

[wolfoman117]

No. You should hire both

[Mr. Ood]

A single Coryphee isn't bad but the low wound count makes them a bit glass cannon..they can deal damage but not take it..the duet helps mitigate this by increasing the damage slightly and increasing the wounds

 

if you are going to take one you should take two and duet them

 

I have a Mei list with a pair of them and I wager it will be a melee meat grinder

[Hateful Darkblack]

With Leveticus, I take a single Coryphee often, because I can't make a duet. It's worth it.

But the duet is way better.

Not having tested them, a Coryphee duet seems really expensive on paper, being essentially a 14 ss model with 7 wounds and all. What makes them worth it?

[Sybarite]

They look worth it alone to me, as a

Fast schemer and flanker, working on tge edges of the conflict. But i have very limited experience with them. I usually end up taking cassandra instead.

Self healing walk 7 charge 9 armor 2 model that gets to attack and damage flips. can give   to enemys df and wp duels.  also 3 ap and cant be charged.

I guess the flexibility is worth something, because looking singly at scheming or beating it just feels very expensive to me. I do have a long aversion to having many eggs in one wargaming basket though.

A single one combos well with Lazarus if you like taking him, since it gives him 8" of free movement (via Assimilate and Dance Partner).

 

While a single one can be very fragile, if you have two on the table the opponent is going to do whatever he/she can to kill one of them to stop the Duet from appearing. With just one, there is not the same sense of urgency on the part of your opponent to kill it. Might make it live a little longer, and if it can avoid attacks that ignore Armor then it will last a good few Turns.
