Clockpunk Fox Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hey all, long time lurker but new account, so I figured ill start with a bang! So my question is what is that one master who you just dread facing. No matter who plays it or what the schemes and strats are, this is a leader who just makes you groan at the mere utterance of their name. I personally dread facing Lilith no matter what. There is something about her crew's crazy mobility, crazy number of tricks, and just the sheer speed and damage that she is Nekima bring that makes her very frustrating to face. She always seems to be this case of "everything you can do I can do better". So whats your one master everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 ...Leveticus? Basically everyone else has their flaws to be exploited (some obviously more than others) but not old Levi. I don't really mind playing against him that much, it's just sort of annoying that there's no really good answer to him apart from being a much better player than your opponent. I'm glad some of the new Gaining Grounds schemes make life a bit harder for him, since it was also sort of boring that you could happily take him for basically any combination of objectives as well. Edit: Also, welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Viks. Hands down. Have never enjoyed a game with them, no matter who is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 It's the magic artillery masters, like leveticus or sonnia. Even if I can beat them, I just hate needing to hug cover that often/getting that easily punished for missteps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Pandora, always Pandora. Every time I run into her it's like feeding my crew into a blender and hoping enough pulp makes it out the other side that I win. She has the distinction of being the only master I've rage quit on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeperColony Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Anyone with obey/take control/bury abilities. Not because they are necessarily OP or unfair, but I just don't find these kinds of mechanics fun to play against in any game. I play games to use my stuff, and control based abilities are all designed around denying that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticPangolin Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm still yet to play against some Masters at all, but of those that I have, Ulix (unless I'm running Sonnia, crispy bacon mmmmm) and Kirai for endless waves of summoning, and Jack Daw for not knowing what the hell to do against him. Leve and Hamelin I haven't played against enough but are up there. Dreamer would probably make the list but every time I've faced him has been with McCabe's Glowing Sabre and Ruthless friends.

bertmac Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Viks. I hate the waiting for blood to fly in before getting on with the rest of the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockworkspide Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Leveticus. And the Ressers as a faction, except Seamus. I refuse to play any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMyke Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Pandora. It has got to the point that in a tournament I will just concede the game before it even starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Amusingly enough to come after Mike, but McMourning. I just cannot seem to get past the immense amount of poison/expunge/sip of wine/oh look, here's yet another flesh construct. And yes, that includes when I play as Pandora. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gennosuke Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I still have to face about 30-40% of the masters, but at the moment my most dreadfull foes are Pandora and Jack Daw, especially Pandora since is the master I've played most against, as it's the main master of my most usual opponent, a good friend of mine. In my "meta-lore", Misaki and Pandora are the most hatred adversaries xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmantra Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 He's cute. He's tall. He's got obscene damage. And a ridiculous hiring pool. I didn't say a name, but he popped into your head, didn't he? edit: like most things this was a better post in my head 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniello_s Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Kirai. Combination of her summoning, non-randomizing in melee shooting with Gaki summoning as the final process, Ikiryo spamming (IMO really bad, bad concept for the game) and general access to stuff like Belles and their uber-hype Lure makes me a sad panda.

RarerMonsters Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Several other players in my group are convinced that Mei Feng being able to Railwalk multiple times is ludicrously borken and go on at length that it will be cuddled soon. It about shows you how arbitrary people's convictions about which masters are powerful are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK1979 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 In my group they really dislike me playing Perdita or Justice or Sonia so then i started playing Gremlins with Somers and Ophelia guess what masters they hate now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sklertic Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Jack Daw. He makes you feel as if you're a jackass for playing the game, which isn't good. Screw that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewens Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 My haaaaatred is saved up for Wong. I rarely beat Leve or the Viks, but I still learn something every time I play against them. I haven't given up the ghost on them yet. But Wong? I hate him. Having the extra attacks on his casting attack's trigger, plus the pulses, plus the incredible interact efficiency ... It's just misery to play against. Our regular Gremlin player has also recently discovered Sammy Lacroix, who casually neuters a whole slew of my favorite models (leave my defensive triggers alone, you stinking swamprat!). Toss in the reckless Lightning Bugs and their free interacts via Tinkering With the Unknown ... and Trixie cheating initiative while sporting Ooooh Glowy to smother armor at range with her infamous gun ... it's all just super-frustrating. Every time I've faced him, I've just felt completely outclassed on every front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Perdita all the way for me. She has an answer for absolutely everything from shrugging conditions, ignoring armour/cover/incorporeal, card cycling, damage modifiers, pushes, obeys, she can shut down charges and has an obscene range on her gun but yet somehow still being better in melee. Oh and usually Df/Wp 9?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaijuhandchop Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Haven't played against all the masters but playing against sonnia with death marshals just can frustrate me. Having Izumu thrown in the box seems a ongoing joke when I'm playing against her no matter what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
