The more you can bog the enemy down here, the better. Fuhatsu still gets a disengage + shoot twice, so make the disengage angles awkward. Not to do this to you again, buuuuuut.... he's got scatter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrorize + unbury a summon is going to be super strong here, at a guess? (Just don't terrorize Fuhatsu). He doesn't have to disengage, he has Scatter. It's fine if you don't know him, but read the card lol xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEV Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yeah Fuhatsu can't be move unfortunately. But he's wp 3. The problem is getting someone close enough to make him do that WP test... Maybe the best way to do it is to ambush him with snatch (unburied an Stitch or an alp and Buried the Snatch)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems fine, that's an entire action. Overall, I would suggest to @SEV to be cautious but not too cautious. Make him work to hit you (for example, engage Fuhatsu with a summon then walk out of his shooting range, and his only option is to kill the summon). You have the AP advantage in the long run, so make him work for it. Make him take walk actions, make him work to shoot important models, bog him down with summons, etc. And keep a focus on scoring! Misaki either wins this by you messing up and dying too fast, or by outscoring you I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason I put a disclaimer in my signature about what crews I know xD 8 minutes ago, SEV said: Yeah Fuhatsu can't be move unfortunately. But he's wp 3.

Well, stitched and madness can happily get close to Fuhatsu and do the WP attack, so that seems fine. Dreamer can walk forward, attack, walk back (do not recommend until late game, and only as a last resort). If Fuhatsu walks forward and shoots something, you may have something in range to WP duel him then hide. If you can keep focus off him, it is also acceptable to tank him in desperate times I imagine. He will probably do 4-8 damage without focus, so you may be able to stone + heal through it. EDIT: 4-8 damage in TWO attacks. Work to stop him getting three. Once you're powered up it might be worth diving him? Not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Oh check his crew for movement tricks! You don't want to carefully plan around Fuhatsu's range and then have him get a movement boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooshawn Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've decided. I'm now a lucius only malifaux player. Now matter how shitty he is, or how disgusting he gets buffed..... I'm in it for the long haul. I will ascend to the dizzying heights of skill and power that gods like kharnage and maniacal occupy........... Now someone tell me how to play lucius because my first game with him is tommorrow. vs von schtook. also I have no idea what von schtook does.

Now someone tell me how to play lucius because my first game with him is tommorrow. vs von schtook. also I have no idea what von schtook does. I am by no means an expert, but general Lucius approach boils down to a couple of ideas; superior card manipulation, and AP dumping into key models. Making your dudes do things draws you cards, you have arcane reservoir, and Lawyers have Tools for the Job and access to surge triggers. Lucius in keyword doesn't have a strong front line, and certainly not in Neverborn. Some people import Mature Nephilim since his Command works on minions of any variety (though you don't get card draw for this). Agent 46 is an intimidating beater with his Inhuman Physiology preventing cheating to dodge, but lacks tanky qualities outside of stealth and being a stone user. Passionate Defense from Lawyers and OOK healers make this less of a terrible fate, but he's not gonna be able to dish and take, just dish. He can dish quite a lot though, since you can hire a couple of Changelings, and make it so that Lucius's activation is just spent giving Agent 46 more AP, by commanding Agent 46, then commanding each Changeling to Command Agent 46 (via use of Just Like You copying Command). Investigators are interesting and like Inhuman Reflexes so their 0 inch reach doesn't cripple them, but they're still squishballs and with no healing, they crumble quickly. Alan Reid is a good hire, and Diversion is a strong front of card ability to mess with certain crews. Hinamatsu is an interesting hire with a Lawyer heavy crew because Passionate Defense shielded combines with an unexpected Armor +2 quite well. Obeying Hina becomes an option, but don't forget you can Obey foes to disengage from her and control both the attack and defense on the damaging attack (since Hinamatsu is wicked). Other than that, I don't have a lot on how to make Lucius work, I haven't been successful with him quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooshawn Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 that hinamatsu idea is incredible, and I didn't think about the changlings using obey either. I was just gonna use them as scheme runners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth on the changeling does give it some protection, but it doesn't really have much other actions or abilities that makes it good at scheming. Personally I'd take a wicked doll instead if I needed stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 There's also always Mature neph (or BBS that grow) as scheme runners xD I tend to prefer elite scheme runners, or pairs of an elite protecting a schemer. Works well with Fly With Me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEV Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 GL he's a tough bite to swallow (can I say this in english?). Is your list set? I would have bring more Armor. He only have Student of Steel with armor piercing. Hinamatsu seems great here (especially with the trick mentioned above). A Vasilia + BBS + doll package could also work really well. Bear in mind that I'm not a Lucius player at all o maybe I'm overly focused on your versatiles/ook choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to win in combat, then you definitely need multiple beaters. @Roadhouse has a double mature list that might be able to tango. Honestly, the matchup sounds incredibly hard and I don't have an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
