Scion of the void

[Franchute]

The little guy should come out in a month now, so I had the curiosity to look at his profile in the third book. He seems to be a real push for any Tara crew. Few examples :

• Burry him and get a whole horde of void wretches make 1/4/7 Ca6 attacks instead of the 2/3/4 Ml4 they usually have (thanks to Whispers from the Nothing). Void wretches can heal the Scion with their Satiating void afterwards.

• Summon a horror with Karina's The faces of Oblivion and the Scion of the void can unburry it in the next turn so that Karina can summon more horrors. Too bad this doesnt work on Killjoy...

• You need to teleport him to the other side of the board ? Just burry him with a Death Marshall and make another minion unburry him where you need him to be with the Hollowing (through Whispers from the Nothing again).

I was wondering : as a way to burry the Scion of the void, can I ask Ama No Zako to use Promising Whisper on an enemy to make him target the Scion of the void and burry the Scion with Returning home ? If so, do I need the scion to be in range of the attack to target him ? Or can he be beyond range to be targeted ?

You can't be targeted while out of range.

Yes, you can obey attack of course but you must be in range or the Target can't be picked.

It's a good piece, I see him good with the librarian being unburied almost dead into base contact with him at the end of the turn and being healed a couple of times to start again its trick.

Being almost un-killable is a good thing...The attack action - while in focus - made by wretch is definitively a big threat.

In the play test I loved the Scion with Scramble. 

It's then pretty easy to get it into a position the enemy will not ignore. You just have to be careful that they don't ignore it until they out activate you.

I'm just thrilled to have a thematic henchman choice.
