D_acolyte Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Which master would you have lead and Oni crew and why? Quote
Da Git Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Ama No Zako... She's an Oni! Otherwise, either Shenlong or Misaki, but Ama would still be in the crew! Quick list: Ama no Zako - 7ss Cache - Recalled Training - 1 - Of Wings of Wind - 1 Komaitachi - 4 Toshiro - 9 - Command the Graves - 1 1 Dawn Serpant - 10 2 Obsidian Oni - 12 2 Tengu 8 Ok the Dawn Serpent (could swap him out for the Emissary) isn't Oni but he's close enough in my mind! & Toshiro ain't even close but he brings so much to this list! Might do ok, I'd love to try it one day! Quote
Rurouni Benshin Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Are you looking for something thematic? Because if you are, I could see Yan Lo leading an Oni-type crew as well. Quote
D_acolyte Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 A mixture of theme and play, I was thinking Yan Lo would be a good choice as he can heal and do some board control while still fitting the theme. Quote
EntrepeNinja Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 If not theme, I was looking forward to rocking a Mei list with some Obsidians, and some Komainu (who aren't oni, but are cool). Also, Jorogumo is coming in wave three, so there could be something to replace Dawn Serpent with. ENinja Quote
tomjoad Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I'd say Shenlong, and I'd also guess that in time (wave 4, I guess?) there will be upgrades for masters that can radically alter the way they play and what abilities they have, and that Shenlong will have some oni themed action going on.

D_acolyte Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 @Tomjoad, why do you think there will be an upgrade that radically alter what a master can field or work with? Quote
EntrepeNinja Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I'd bet in the opposite way- I think they'll introduce a model that can bring them together with additional synergy- An oni leader/henchman style model. Quote
tomjoad Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 @Tomjoad, why do you think there will be an upgrade that radically alter what a master can field or work with? I think it's easier to do that than to introduce entirely new masters. I could see, at some point, a system where they make new models for some/all the masters that aligns with some changes to them, but still allows you to use the original models with the new upgrades attached. That we, we aren't FORCED to buy new models (even though we all will, so no complaining), and Wyrd is able to change up the most important characters without having to completely rebalance/design them from the ground up. Just a guess, 100%, but it makes the most sense to me. Quote
Arli Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 A dream of mine would be that Amo No Zako gets upgraded to an ONI master!!! That would be awesome. Quote
Rathnard Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Well I'm hoping for an Oni Master at some point - possibly the "Yin Dragon" to Shenlong's Yang. More upgrades to change up existing Masters would be cool too. Quote
ArcticPangolin Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 McCabe can do alright by them too as they're mostly Minions, but if you wanted to focus on the burning for the Obsidian Onis, Shenlong and a High River Monk or two could help. Don't forget the Dawn Serpent! Quote
