Titania feels

[Pigna]

So the queen has rise? In the last week i've tried Titania with her new upgrade, i think she's need something similar to get the top of neverborn, have you try? What's your feelings? Pact or royal? 

Let's talk about the up,im so curious to know your ideas about them

[Angelshard]

Haven't gotten the new upgrades yet desperately waiting for the masters deck to hit stores.

I'm quite sure queens champion will never again see the light of day though.

[Trample]

The two new upgrades are limited, so Titania does have a slot available assuming she takes one of the limited upgrades and Behold My Glory. Two points makes it a bit questionable, but I don't see an alternative always take here. 

[Angelshard]

Aether connection, fears given form and audience are still very potent on her. Especially with royal indignation.

Plus now that both she and the emissary can give armour and emissary can heal too I don't think champion is worth 2.

It could already be a bit of a trap if you focused too much on getting it on the right model.

[Pigna]

For the pact of graveyards spirit what you think? In my experience i had see that, you can pin a master or henchman and slowly consume it

[BrynSilverhorn]

Audience, Behold, and Royal Indignation seem to me like they will be a very potent combo on her.

Combine with Barbaros for extra shenanigans.

Your opponent doesn't know frustration until they have to either target Barbaros and pitch two cards or target Titania and pass a WP duel.

I really like taking Malifaux Provides on Barbaros here as well as he can eat the scheme markers that Titania's crew tends to throw out all over the place as well.

I do still love the idea of Queen's Champion, and I really want to try a game (if I can get one with the proper scheme pool) where I take Queen's Champion and Nekima and really commit to making it happen.

I killed Dreamer with it last night. I was pretty stoked.

I was really excited for Royal Indignation. It lets her tank how she was meant to. The Emissary's conflux synergises so well with it since all Living minion and enforcer models become Undead Fae, letting the Emissary use its buff on them.

I played 2 games with the new upgrades. The game I used Royal Indignation I also used the Emissary with her Conflux.

I chose Royal Indignation because my opponent was playing Asami so I was expecting a fair few Oni minions, but he decided to load his crew with Enforcers and Henchmen. I eeked out a draw but I feel Pact with the Grave Spirit would have been better that game.

Second game was a 4 player, 30ss game. Titania used Pact with the Grave Spirit. She did a lot of damage that game. Wow.

Killed Francois in one turn (Bloody Command - 4 damage (moderate, +1 from a scheme marker), Rot within - 4 damage, Rot within - 4 damage). Then went after the Ten Thunders player. In one turn she killed a Thunders Brother (Bloody Command, Rot Within) then took another Thunders Brother to 1W (Bloody Command, severe, +1 from scheme marker dropped by Rot Within). Opponents freaked out and sent Misaki after her with her new The Storm upgrade and she got pummeled by blasts before being airdropped by Zipp.

The Rot Within doesn't seem like a lot. Max of 4 damage isn't really up there with the best beatstick masters. But it's worth remembering that there's no damage track. If the target has taken 4 or more damage, you can draw the flip and still deal 4 damage rather than a double negative damage flip. Bloody Command makes it easy to take off 4 wounds, especially if there's a scheme marker nearby. After that, you're good. Against masters you get an additional +1, so Bloody Command is 5/6/7 if there's 2 markers near them, and Rot Within is 5. Since Rot Within isn't a gun or melee, she can use it anywhere, on anyone in range. A Master with 2 Markers near them is in a lot of trouble if Titania hasn't activated.

The inability to stone seems better  as a defence. Titania running into 3" might not seem like the best idea, but if someone charges her and doesn't finish her, you can have a beater like a Cyclops charge them and they can't stone for damage reduction.

Basically in the space of 2 games I went from 'woo tanky Titania' to 'holy shit beatstick Titania'.

[Somnicide]

Yeah the only clarification is it only makes minions and enforcers undead fae.

Yesterd i used  this list in a match vs Reva

50 SS Neverborn Crew
Titania + 4 Pool
 - Pact with the Grave Spirit (1)
 - Aether Connection (1)
 - An Audience With The Queen (1)
Primordial Magic (2)
Mysterious Emissary (10)
 - Primeval Conflux (0)
Cyclops (8)
 - A Thousand Faces (1)
Rougarou (8)
The Tooth (7)
The Claw (7)
Mysterious Effigy (4)

 It work very well, Titania take Reva and wreck her with a combinations of Bloody command ( 5 damage) and then the rot within, i don't even try royal indignation but actually the pact with the grave look me more interesting
