Alerteddonkey42 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I appreciate a lot of the changes made (especially with focus) but the changes to Guild seem lackluster. I don't know. I guess I was expecting more. Maybe this errata wasn't focused on bringing things up as much as nerfs and big fixes. Guild changes just seems like an afterthought and I wanted to see what the community thought. I also find it a bit funny that the Guild changes both times have been nerfs to the popularly used models in Guild (Rider then Phiona) instead of addressing larger faction problems. I suppose nerfs to other factions are buffs for Guild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatfrito Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I appreciate that Reichart got Execute - that always seemed like an odd missing piece. Sudden Strike and I've Got This seem like welcome additions, too. It might help that Hoffman and Basse are the only two Guild masters I have so far, and that I play hoooooooorribly casually. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 The changes to focus are stealth buffs to Lucius and Nellie, but I'm mostly pumped for the new strats and schemes which all look awesome! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorator Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Models with summon upgrades may no longer Interact with Strategy Markers. I think, in the long run it will be changes to Strats/Schemes that has the greatest influence on Guild playability in GG2. On the plus side, fewer changes should help transition. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filox Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 My quick thoughts about new errata: - Jonathan finally will be worth his 10SS, might replace Phiona but I don't think so. He will definitely show up much more often. - Phiona will only be seen in keyword or Hoffman - Family got gutted, so much I can easily call it the worst keyword in game -Journalist gained buff & nerf at the same time, but I think they got overall buffed thanks to Distracted power up - GG2 will be hard for guild (Turf War is good, BTL is just easier symbols not great but we shall see, DAMN YOU SOA STOP RUINING MY LIFE! and CLL is okay. - Research Mission & Death Beds are 2 dead schemes for Guild, everything else is okay - sad to not see ES nerfs but I guess it was too early to nerf Cadmus - thanks to big nerfs to most cancerous masters I can easily see Guild starting to get better although there are still some things I wish to be changed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 What happened to nerf Family? If you were stacking more than Focus+2 on anybody you were definitely doing it wrong... Research Mission seems fine - every strat contributes a marker to it. Death Beds seems tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think it was because of replace stacking for Golems and Rat Kings. Family got hit just by standing on sidelanes, surprised they did not get anything in return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about the change. It makes Steward a complete waste in that keyword instead of just mostly a waste though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filox Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Well, most of the time I ended up with 4 focuses on Dita and 3 on Francisco and they were still bad. I think we have to wait until next Errata to see them buffed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just my personal experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74legion Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 They really want to sell the new faction. I wonder what will be more of those who will leave or those who will move to a new faction 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summoning changes where everything gets a Summon Token is going to make the Exorcism Triggers a lot scarier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the GG2 doc it says: Summoned Models In addition to being ignored for friendly Schemes and Strategies and not taking the Interact Action on the Turn they enter play, models with a Summon Upgrade cannot take the Interact Action to affect Strategy Markers in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahahahahaha, this is amazing, the fact that he can't have focus + distracted is huge. That's part of how he gets enough positives to hit things with manipulative and still have positives left for crows. EDIT: messed up my math, he still can hit manipulative targets. But still, a blessing xD Cadmus summon changes also are a significant hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yeah, I think this is a pretty massive hit to summoners. Summons now come with a psuedo-insignificant. Which is guns hurt our boy Dashel. But I think it's worse for other factions who relied on summons for interactions more. Also: New "Towards" and "Away" rules is a sight buff for Family's Brovado. Which one guess helps with the focus nerf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus stacking changes hurt, but I think the "towards / away" changes make the Family more viable for achieving strats / schemes and makes using cover effectively a lot easier so they actually end in a slightly better place. It is a small boost for the Mechanical attendant in Hoffman too. I'm hoping they release the starter with the new Guild models this year and a couple of good versatiles could have a far bigger impact than GG2.

belorey Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Marshal ⬆️ Marshal is an anti-summon keyword now. Exorcist, Lone Marshal and Jury will be very useful against summoners. Frontiers ↗️ New Reichart's triggers improve the keyword, they have 2 beaters (Basse and Sandworm) and now they add a Tank/Beater. Anyway he need triggers and keyword has not an eficient card draw tech. Journalist ↔️ They have suffer the Buff and Nerff of Distracted condition. Also Phiona's new abilitie is not bad for them. Guards ↘️ The new summon rules make them worst. But they are top and it's not a hard punish for them. They'll keep Tier-S. Family ⬇️ His keyword tech got an indirect nerf because they cannot stack more Focus. The change on strategy are nota bad for them anyway so we will see.
