Korrok Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 So the creeper is super cool, I love the model. But I feel like I never hear about it being used or really being discussed much. I find myself struggling to find a place for it in my cadmus lists and it seems at least on the surface that's a common thing. Is my perspective skewed or is it really just under used in this current environment? Considering the keyword has less average unique models than most keywords I'd really love to see more of it. Thing looks like it should be the keywords beater but doesent hit particularly hard? Is super squishy. It kinda supports Dr Stanley's poison stuff and can make webs but otherwise doesent do much more for the keyword that I can tell? Since it seems to want to be mobile and scheme it loses out on WAL most of the time. Can't hand out parasites... Is there something I'm missing? Maybe thinking about it in the wrong way?

I think it is fine, but possibly outclassed by better options. The main reason to take a keyword model is for synergy. Most of Cadmus synergy is locked up into bubble effects (We are Legion is only a 4" range). Creeper will often extend past those bubbles. So you might as well grab damned or Vernon and Welles, etc. That said, I've seen people use it to decent effect. So don't think it is terrible. Plus you can still Will of Cadmus it.

That still seems to then play into my thoughts that it's place in keyword is tentitive at best because he seems to not provide much synergy. I guess in my mind that's something that should be addressed somehow. Can hurt crew variety and I feel every under used model deserves some shine.

Well, it can provide an extra method of extending Nexus' sight... Currently eyes and ears are SO good at doing that already, but if they get nerfed suddenly Creeper may be good enough to merit use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I like the creeper. I find its the best cadmus piece for moving and scheming, and whilst I might not make use of that if everyone is in a huddle, if you want to do anything out side that bubble ( or at least make your opponent think you might) it is a good choice. It may be a playstyle and I'm not a great cadmus player but I will hire it if I want mobility, although I might not declare nexus at all if it's a too mobile pool.

Really anyone who would be forced to disengage, and once they are all growed up they are consistent at applying Stagger and can in a pinch threaten to remove markers for marker focused schemes like research mission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. I play 2-3 Botanists every time I pick Nexus2, and when they're not scoring me pretty much every VP I get, they do a great job at denying the enemy from scoring theirs, tying things in melee, getting in the way of Charge lanes, Staggering, Injuring and/or pushing enemies around with their attacks, and like you say, their trigger to Remove Markers at range can be an extremely powerful part of their kit which I'm starting to appreciate more and more as I get them on the table.

Patzer Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 How does Nexus 1 play post errata? Is it still an ok master, or is it a lot of tinkering without much pay out? If there is some light for ol'Nexus, are there any pools where its a better choice than Nexus2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are really down on Nexus 1 but I see her do well. One issue is that Nexus 2 is sooooo strong, it is probably a good thing that Nexus 1 isn't as strong as 2 xD I saw someone go Nexus 1 against Molly instead of Nexus 2 to avoid Lethes Caress.

TheUnseemlyOne Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 The issue I’ve had with Nexus1 post errata is that the crew tends to have a lot of abilities that tend toward the durability side of attrition, but now is lacking compared to the damage output of some of the newer damage based titles.

Pallas4 Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 a parasited model is still friendly model. so, near a "siphon power" model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't siphon directly from the parasites model as that model is the one who "may suffer damage" and of course if its an enemy model it will not do so. The only thing you can do is that you pass that damage with Will Of Cadmus but as it is irreducible it will not lower the damage you suffer on your model.

No, as the Cadmus player "may treat models with Parasite Tokens as friendly". So as it is a "may" the Cadmus player will just say "No, I won't.... " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallas4 Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 even when the parasited model is targeted by a "friendly only" action? (in French, I would say "Je cherche la petite bête", that's accurate in this time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you asking if Nexus's opponent can force the Nexus player to choose one of their parasited models for the Nexus player to use siphon power on?
