11th Thunder Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 So I got Crossroads for Christmas, and peeked early like a naughty boy. I really like the new story scenarios, and some of them offer interesting questions to ask of the player base. What are some funky master combinations you can see together. My first thought was a Mei Feng, Colette combination, with Colette prompting Mei Feng all the way across the board using Doves to railwalk.

EnternalVoid Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nastiest match up I saw at dual masters at Adepticon was Colette and Raspy. Cannot get much worse than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Tara + Viktorias sounds unspeakably brutal to me - like the usual Tara / Killjoy missile taken to the next level. Tara enhances the Viktorias' strengths while mitigating most of their weaknesses. Kill anything you want, anywhere you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I was thinking that myself, but then thought of Tara and Leveticus: while it's limiting to Glimpse triggers, as long as Tara's alive, Leveticus is effectively immortal, with a few extra exit points for good measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Nothing Beasts new upgrade you can remove the limitation whilst within 10" of him. I had a quick think on this and Nicodem + Kirai could be a horrendous combination of Spam Summoning, Healing and Support... That's a match up I don't fancy facing anytime soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you be fairly limited by hand and stones? I'm thinking a second master that can be effective without cards, like Lady Justice.

What about McCabe and Lucius? That could be a very interesting combination seeing they tend to favor similar style models and don't compete that much for each other's suits. "How many Guardsmen do you have?" "ALL OF THEM MUAHAHA!!" "Got enough support for your crew there sonny?" "NOPE! NEED MORE!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady giving out and Lucius making them use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I find Lucius and Lady Justice enticing. The Lady giving out and Lucius making them use it. Nice! I like the sound of that. I need to get my Luciius built so I can actually start playing with him. I might look into this little combo at some point.

Can't get enough bonuses from your existing Lucius crew, huh? I quite like the idea of Lucius and McMourning. Giving extra AP to Nurses sounds very unfriendly.

Dirial Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Can't get enough bonuses from your existing Lucius crew, huh? Never. I find Lucius to be card dependent. Lady Justice is not (at least not much), and can mitigate card dependency of Minions. I would also like to combine her with McCabe. Nimble Armored Lady Justice? Gimme. I quite like the idea of Lucius and McMourning. Giving extra AP to Nurses sounds very unfriendly. Ugh. Now, THAT is unfriendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Zoraida and Ophelia. Because shooting seven times per round with Ophelia sounds like a solid plan to me... Or maybe Zoraida and Brewmaster because Obeying everyone into the Brewie aura seems nice. Shenlong and Brewie could also be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirial Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Isn't Obey non-Leader? Take Zoraida as Leader. Problem solved. Zoraida and Ophelia. Because shooting seven times per round with Ophelia sounds like a solid plan to me... Oh. Oh. Take Papa Loco, and give Ophelia a to damage flips. (Would also be funny with Viktorias and Jack Daw.)

Malal Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 You'd only be able to get 5 shots per round with ZOphelia (and that's with the SoC) Colette + Lynch, because ALL THE CARDS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Colette and Marcus (with a student of Conflict). Alpha says Prompt 7 times a turn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorbad Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Did Colette and Hoffman at the doubles for Smogcon this year. With Howard and a Peacekeeper that was incredibly brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Justice is not (at least not much), and can mitigate card dependency of Minions. I would also like to combine her with McCabe. Nimble Armored Lady Justice? Gimme. Nimble Armoured Justice with Unimpeded and Regen +2, if you're gonna do it, do it right! Oh you can cross faction with this can you? Well in that case Kaeris and Sonnia.. Why? Because we like our enemies EXTRA crispy! Pandora + Brewie could also be horrific too. NO... Brewie and Resser McMourning + Performers for Hyper Expunge mode. Dreamer + Nico for super spam summons vs. Kirai & Ramos for super spam summons. 50ss each Master. Race each other to a 200ss crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Oh you can cross faction with this can you? No, you cannot. At least, not for this Strategy. Smogcon must have been a special event. Nimble Armoured Justice with Unimpeded and Regen +2, if you're gonna do it, do it right! To be fair, she can be Unimpeded quite well on her own. But the Regen is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myyrä Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nimble Armoured Justice with Unimpeded and Regen +2, if you're gonna do it, do it right! Except Justice would be using the master part of McCabes upgrades, which pretty much translates to a load of crap. She could get armor +1, but that's pretty much it.

Pyrflamme Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hoffman giving upgrades to construct Minions in combination with either Lucius or McCabe buffing those minions would also be super. Yan Lo / Kirai also does good things for spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizuriel Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Wong and somer would be fun. Imagine better control of Wong's suits and a glowy somer with min dmg5 with dmg5 blasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
