Yore Huckleberry Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 We love our rams, of course, but if you had to build a list with four Guild figures to maximize the value of each suit you draw, who does the best work with: Rams: - Critical Strike - Dashel Summoning* (see below) 6+ leap attack trigger (Lady J; requires stone for mask on TN) Masks: - Coordinated Attack (Various) - Quick Reflexes (Various) - Could this be ... Betrayal?! (Nellie trigger to cause target to take an obey'd charge) 2+ Shove Aside attack trigger (Phiona Gage) 6+ Leap (Lady J; requires stone for ram trigger to attack) 6+ Second focus from Guild Steward on trigger (requires an initial target with no/negative condition) Tomes: - armor piercing (peacekeeper, rifleman, Melissa, EM upgrade) - Purification (Lucius’s Command) - Sweeping Strike (Reichart, Phiona) 5+ Set the Trap (Pathfinder) 7+ (opposed) Prepared Explosives (Undercover Reporter, global scheme marker removal!) Crows: - Execute (executioner, rifleman, Alan Reid, Agent 46) - Maim (peacekeeper, Lone Marshal, Grimwell) - Debt of Gratitude (False Witness: opposed global counterscheme!) I’ll update as we get suggestions! Mostly thinking of this as an exercise in “always have a figure who can use that high severe. *Rams, Dashel Summoning (Stoneable), enemy (friendly) marker card cost: 7(9) Guild Hound 8 (10) Guard Patrol 9 (11) Warden 10 (12) Two Hounds, Rifleman 11 (13) Sergeant, Guard Patrol + Hound 12 (Red Joker) Mounted Guard, Warden + Hound, Two Guard Patrols 13 (n/a) Executioner, Rifleman + Hound, Warden + Guard Patrol, Three Hounds Red Joker (n/a) Rifleman + Guard Patrol, Two Wardens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 For tomes: sweeping strike on Reichart, or family values on any family model (you'll need a buddy within keyword) or armour piercing present on several constructs or any model through an upgrade. Both guard and reporters have some nice tome triggers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a Severe is always going to be useful. Clearly, nearly any weak is going to be "Yeah, this is for discard effects". ie, Flurry or Execute rather than cheating in. Though I do like Weak Masks for Jury. But there's also a lot of moderate cards that could be useful. Obviously, the most basic is the 5+ of Rams and Masks for Lady J. But you're not going to think much of an 6 of Masks if you're not playing something that can't (ab)use it. Usually its best effect is going to be for a discard, or to force an opponent to waste a card (or the action) when you both flip Weaks, and you're still losing. But Stewie the Steward can use it to give out Focus (as long as you have either a negative, or no Condition). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 7+tome, undercover, destroying a scheme marker anywhere on the map. Depending on my Hoffman build, I am sometimes crazy greedy for crows for electroshock stun/otherneatstuff pulse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yore Huckleberry Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 2+ mask on Phiona is astonishingly effective for “Ive got your back” and the free attack trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God it hurts when you only have like an 11 of masks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
