Succumbed on Beckoners?

[Bazlord_Prime]

Had my first M3e game last night, and I'm stepping out in style with Lynch!

Had quite a few issues though with figuring out what Brilliance is supposed to do on my own models (beyond Illuminated).

Why the heck do Beckoners receive +2 Brilliance at the start of the game, when they seem to have no way of using our themselves?? Only thing I can see is that other models (Kitty & Depleted) can target them to lose a Brilliance so that they can push towards the Beckoners. Is that it?

Ta!

P.S. (also, really surprised the Beckoners don't impose a -ve to Wp on their Lure for each Brilliance a target has. That would be pure fluff, right? It's a shame)

You're correct, Brilliance on Beckoners is there because other models' effects interact with it, they don't use it themselves. It also comes into play when Lynch manages to summon one.

Gotcha, thanks. I hadn't even looked at the Summoning upgrade yet, so that makes a whole lot more sense.

There is also their bonus tactical action which requires to discard a brillance token.

That uses a Brilliance on the model being affected, not the Beckoner.

also don't forget Huggy whith his bonus action also removes brilliance form your model to heal!

There is also the 'drawn to brilliance' bonus action on the depleted, that was also on Kitty DuMont in the beta. It will speed these models up without using brilliance off of enemy models or the illuminated that can use it themselves.
