rvdbarnes Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 So the Doppleganger is a regular in many many NB lists, yet I am yet to use it. So im wondering? What has been everyone's favourite mimic action? And what did you plan/manage to achieve with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikciwok Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) As soon as I will get the models I'll try this one: Vasilisa (9 ss) Doppelganger (7 ss) with depression (1 ss) As far as I know Vasilisa's the only Neverborn non-Master model with Obey. Yes, she's in dire need of high to use it against an enemy, but Doppelganger can get the suit for a cost of weak thanks to depression. Thats 2-3 extra Obeys per turn.edit: forgot the depression special rule is not an ability, but an action, so no way Edited January 22, 2016 by Pikciwok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjoad Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My most common Mimic targets are Nekima or Teddy, followed by Lilitu or a Beckoner. With those targets, the plans are pretty obvious... Copying a Terror Tot can be pretty fun as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I like Mr graves for an extra push early on in the game. Also makes the ganger super fast if you happen to hit the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nical Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't choose one, but I usually copy range attacks. Additionally, Copying is fun but I prefer to use her Abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Doppel copied Heed My Voice (Huggy's Obey) and used it on Gatling Samurai two times (Tome's trigger for a free use) There were tons of gatling shooting, resulted in one body dropped dead. And Samurai exploded twice, when he missed. Then Doppel controlled Westrel and finished another Westrel. So, in a single activation, Doppel killed 3 models. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai takes damages by missed only during his activation. So you couldn't kill the samurai. But killing 2 models in an activation is not bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I use it as I see fit in a given situation (on friendly or enemy models). Favorite times I've used it: Turn 5 mimicking a nearby Terror tot sprint on the trigger to run 28" across the board (could have moved up to 36" if need be as I had the masks needed) to Take Prisoner on Colette at the end of the game. Again on the trigger (I save 7+ just for her) copying a Hang's Whispers from Beyond and casting it 3 times in a row two different turns to wreck both Nicodem and Mortimer (it was not a happy Resser player for that game). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinginyello Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 My opponent was the neverborn player and i was playing ressurectionist. Doppelganger stole my copycat killer's gun and red jokered the damage flip on seamus. I wasn't pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinginyello Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I was nice enough to get in range as a mature neph's existence annoyed me so seamus and little seamus had to remove him from life. 11 points to seamus in 1 shot back was an exchange i didn't want.

I can one up that. Doppelganger mimics Huggys head my voice to force the hanged to do it 3 times, and Huggy does it himself 2 more times. Ended up getting 4 of them off because black joker.

PeregrineFalcon Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) (1) Focus (0) Trapper Shot (28") from mimic trigger (1) Trapper Shot Or hire Envy and do his (0) to have her take the Focus action on his turn. She activates and gets 3 shots, two of which are focused. Edited January 28, 2016 by PeregrineFalcon Original had me thinking I had taken Envy in original example, math is hard ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the first focus only give the positive to the 0 action to see if it happens, not the resulting shot? In which case you'd only do it if you don't have the card in hand? And it still wouldn't give you the 3AP.. It would give you two focus and the shot off the 0, but not the second shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use focus when declaring any action, so just use it when you declare the shot from the trigger. But I don't know where he's getting the third AP from.

Lordgimpet Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 If rolling with Pandora and I need more actions I will mimic magical extension off the poltergeist, enabling me to cast one of Pandora's actions, :-P usually my doppelganger has retrobutions eye, so a doppelganger casting self harm/ loathing is fun having the damage ignore armour even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orkdork Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Playing against Lilith, my Doppelganger got swapped next to her and Nekima. I then copied Nekima's sword and killed her with it (was my opponent's first game with Lilith, and I had the Red Joker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feagaur Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I played with a Zoraida crew last night against Levi, I managed to paralyze Rusty Alyce using a nurse and voodoo doll (whilst giving both the doll and allyce burning 2 and poison 3!), then used the Doppleganger to mimic rusty's clockwork pistol. Shot the waif next to Rusty killing it with the trigger, shot an abomination, getting a bit too close, killing it then put enough damage on Rusty that the 6 damage she got at the end of the turn killed her! Gotta Love them Neverborn Shenanigans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
