Jesy Blue Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Are people taking Chiaka & Izamu out of keyword to pass Requiaries around in different keywords? Obviously having more access to Ruthless & Armor would be great in any crew, but passing complete Condition removal all over the crew is situationally sensational.

Chiaki can't hand out her own reliquary unless she dies. She has condition removal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ohhhhh, "... within range". that makes sense. Either way, still useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's decent (she's no Tanuki...). Condition removal, card draw, movement shenanigans. Bit expensive I feel but fun to use from time to time. Can't remember if I've used Izamu or only considered into Obey matchups, but I view him as a valid counter tech pick ook. I've never considered the two together. I guess it'd be ok. Could be fun to give Yasunori some armour (htw+armour woo woo) and ruthless (ain't nobody got time to flip those terrify duels, wp7 or no). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed25 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 this could work in certain matchups but it's a pretty big investment! 19ss for 2 models! ouch! as @Nikodemus as said Izamu is a good pick against Zoraida, Chiaki is nice with certain positioning schemes like claim jump and outflank because opponent will have to burn moderate/high cards to stay where he want to score. Not as counter-scheming as Kitty Dumont but it's another tool. Also she can remove focused/shielded from an enemy and give him slow in exchange. This is pretty nice in reckoning where you want the other beaters as useless as possible! And finally the reason to take both: the Izamu's Reliquary. Ruthless is always nice to have on your beater (Ressers have lots of terrifying) and armor +1 is good on anybody! Samurai with armor +3 and ruthless is pretty nice or in a monk crew giving armor to Shenlong! I'm not sure this is something I would take often, but they have some advantages against certain opponent and in certain strat/schemes!

Ogid Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 That pair could be a decent option into some crews or masters: With Shenlong they will be probably neat, monks have pushes to help Izamu to get where he want to be. Shenlong will be grateful for not being so reliant on chi for defense and to have another reason to not pick High River Style Misaki with Armor and Ruthless could also be a tough nut to crack; crime bosses are also good holders. Asami's models are glass cannons, so Armor would fit there also (Jorogumo or Ama probably the best ones) Youko can use an extra tanky ludicrous beater like Izamu, the reliquary could be nice in a kabuki for extra defense. Bonus point the Distraction Aura will make using all Chiaki abilities very easy and if Chiaki is killed near of Youko, Manipulative and Serene Countereance together can make her untouchable versus most models. I'm not sure about the other masters, Lynch need his synergies more than others imo, a slow random armored guy is probably redundant in Foundry and neither of them can take artifacts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerZaka Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Poor Chiaki the new model stuck with 3 models I already have . She is going to cost me 30 € lol So the YanLo box will definitely have Totem, Izamu, 3 Gokudo and the old man himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesy Blue Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 You can probably still find a 2nd edition Master of the Path box and the order the new minions separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
