Taking advantage of Serene Countenance to stay alive and projecting actions elsewhere on the board. What are you doing to take advantage of the opponent not having a hand? Which schemes are you primarily scoring with those obeys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal_cackle Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Wow, this might be the first time someone put me in the same category as Kharnage/a top tier player. What an honour, I feel all warm and fuzzy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal_cackle Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 35 minutes ago, Alcathous said: Gods like @Kharnage and @Maniacal_cacklehave ascended to such status because of the time and effort they have put into learning their masters and factions. They put in game time and figured out the strongest aspects of the masters they enjoy. You won't get to that level if you rely on internet strangers tell you how to play. If you like the look of Luci and wanna be the Luci Guy, that's awesome. But demanding we tell you how to do it isn't gonna get you there. And honestly I still have so much to learn. The only reason I've made this far is that Ive been wrong a lot and learned heaps from these forums. However, blazing your own trail is super important in Malifaux. It is widely agreed Molly isn't the best, but I've made her my best master because she suits my play style so exactly. The answer for Shawn finding a master that clicks is reading, thinking, playing, revising, repeating. Definitely don't take anything on the forums as gospel. Everyone calls Bete Noire trash, but one player recommending her made her a staple of my Reva crew. Same goes for grave golem - everyone thought it a bad model, but someone dissented and now a lot of Reva players play Grave Golem. Invent new ways to play - especially with ES being released, what is considered 'good' may shift dramatically. Which was a really rambly way to ultimately agree with Alcathous xD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 For any new crew, I also recommend trying EVERY keyword model, no matter how bad people say it is. You may discover it has more power than people think (like Philip and the Nanny), or you may discover everyone was right and its garbage. Then start trying out combos with OOK stuff. Lucius for example has minion synergy, and that led someone to trying Nephilim minions which was an awesome innovation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belles would be insane if you just slapped the Forgotten keyword on them. Although that said, I think Bete is underrated with Seamus as well, corpse generation is just a bit trickier there xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm starting to play more seriously. If I get three solid placements I can go back to just fooling around xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
