4thstringer Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have been wanting to try the BBS with illuminated, but given the number of things that it has that involve tots, I was unsure if I needed to plan on bringing those too to make it actually worthwhile. Have you played with the Shaman? What are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godlyness Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Played him with Zoraida. Sticking the voodoo doll with blood curse so every turn it takes Damage then with hex bag giving it burning 2 so the hemmed model takes absurd damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've run him in a Collodi crew without tots. Basically, if you use him to hand out Black Blood to a couple key models, and then just rely on him for his Black Blood Pustule (and the awesome triggers), he remains a very effective model, without the growth abilities needing to come into play at all.

Joel Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 No you don't need tots, but they are a good model anyway so it doesn't hurt to have then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybaris Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I use it to buff Nekima, i don't concentrate on growing anything at all myself...but then again i do have tots almost all the time, so the shaman's abilities aren't wasted for me.

necroon Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I like to use it with the twins. Their passive regeneration helps offset the poke, they "can" share the heal, and they share the buffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Black Blood Pustule is just nuts. It's such a good ability and makes the Black Blood Shaman worth it on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I use him in my Lilith crews (non-growth list when I might need a "healer" for Lilith and crew...Black Blood Pusture with a trigger makes a nice heal), as well as with Illuminated and other things all the time. Hell, I played him in a Lynch vs Molly game and gave Blood Blood to a Rising Sun Huggy and Lynch to counter Molly handing out black blood. I find a lot of uses for him, and I have yet to regret taking him, despite never playing any form of Lilith/Tot grow list. PS - On a side note, even though she can't hand out the trigger, try Shaman + Doppleganger as she can Mimic the Pustule up to three times ( on a trigger 0 action) a turn doing up to a potential 6 damage to all withing a 1" . Follow up next activation with a Shaman to do the same, but save 's to use the healing trigger. I took out Colette and Cassandra in a turn that way, leaving them unable to use defensive triggers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Now I want to try the Shaman with everyone. I think he will go well with my depleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Also fun with killjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 So I used the Shaman last night in a Lucius Crew with reckoning, assassinate, (something else) against the viks didn't use tots because reckoning teddy got surrounded by the viks due to some teleporting ability they had, but henchvik failed the horror duel, Black blood Pustule and a charging illuminated killed leader vik, (out pops killjoy) and then teddy killed hench vik. and does damage to killjoy beginning of next term, the remaining damage needed was gotted from BBP on the illuminated and Teddy. With those three out, we called it. I guess what I am trying to say is, you were right, BBP is sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
