Must-have models for Kirai

[doombladez]

Hey y'all, I'm curious what the community sees as the core models for Kirai, basically the normal models you'd take to fill out her (admittedly dirt cheap SS wise) starter box. I know she likes spirits but otherwise who does she like to bring along? 

[Anung Un Rama]

Izamu, Datsue Ba, Shikome and the Goryo when they are released. Summmon in hanged too always hanged!

Some non spirits that can be useful are: Flesh Construct as a pile of wounds to summon from, Nurse for debuffing fun and perhaps heal summoned stuff, Rotten Belles, Necropunks/Canine Remains/Crooligans are all affordable scheme runners, Anna for her auras and a very decent ranged attack, Mindless Zombies to go with the Emissary (who is a Spirit with Kirai's conflux).

I would say Phillip on the first place, card cycling engine too good

Assuming you mean to buy rather than for list building Izamu and Datsue Ba, then the lesser spirits like Shikome and The Hanged.

After that you're looking at buying stuff she can't summon like Nurses and Belles.

In a couple of days, I'll be posting my beginner's guide to Ressers which should help answer this question and many like it.

Quick question  - besides Phillip,  what are good models to hold "take back the night" upgrade?

[godswearhats]

Assuming in a Kirai crew, Philip is your only real choice. Only six models can hold it in any crew: Molly, Killjoy, Rogue Necromancy, Philip, Valedictorian and Yin. You generally only see Philip with Kirai, because none of the rest are Spirits. In general, I'd only put it on Molly other than Philip, because those other models are all likely kill targets for your opponent. Yin is possibly an exception, but I think there are better upgrades for her (Unnerving Aura for instance, or Necrotic Preparation).
