Korrok Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Finally got a grow nekima. Lots of splash damage and healing. Reliable tot summons. Sign me up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 One major thing worth noting with this nekima is the scheme markers as well. Like previously I don't think you were necessarily thinking spread them out for a nekima pool, but now seems super doable? Also very doable to summon a terror tot turn 1 and grow it, although I think that is probably a bit slow for how nephilim would like to play. Nonetheless, I wonder if there is a slower, control style play that this opens up with her! The interacting while engaged also seems pretty good, and is more reliable than the ol' shove aside method. So it is interesting to see this scheme-y take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEV Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Wow her shockwave is awesome! Generally she seems to be a great generalist master. Being able to play Scheme marker scheme pools open a lot of possibility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Or seems like Nekima2 is brining a lot of healing. I wonder if it is enough to fix some Nephilim survivability issues. Cruel Teachings seems interesting, since it means guaranteed damage, even if it's not huge amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkoon Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm really looking forwards to trying this version on the table. Looks like she will have an entirely different playstyle (or playstyles) than the original Nekima. Atleast my tots will find their way to the table now. And maybe even Lelu and Lilitu, but I'm not sure she does enough for the hounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 So for Vital Strike, the "Another friendly Nephilim" is other than the target meaning that Nekima herself (for example) can heal from the attack, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladroit Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Has there been any mention of a new Hayreddin card to go with the undead Nephalim? Seems to be his kind of thing . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on pt. 23 in the FAQ "another" implies in this case "other that the target", so I would say yes, Nekima herself would be a legal target. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhouse Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Vital Strike can't heal Nekima. There is no noun prior to "Another friendly" which means it has to be "models other than the model that is resolving the text". Thats from the latter part of the FAQ answer. I've played 3 Newkima games so far and I think she is dope. Plopping a terror tots into melee with a model thats 14" away is really disruptive. The crew is capable of putting out a ton of unresisted too. Nox has been... alright. His "draw" is actually cycling and when you're down to 2 severes in hand then you just don't use it. Newkima (Neverborn) Size: 50 - Pool: 5 Leader: Nekima Totem(s): Blood Hunter Hires: Black Blood Shaman Black Blood Shaman 2 Mature Nephilim Mature Nephilim 2 Terror Tot Noxious Nephilim Every time I've grown a terror tot, they've become a Young, but there is alot of potential utility in Lilitu that I hadn't considered until this morning. Though I used the Young for scheming, which a Lilitu isn't good for. I think there are alot of angles she can take and is good into everything but CLL, cus no flying for the ball carrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 SS Enforcer Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 So what’s everyone think about the 6-14 card cycle turn 1? That and entire crew being focus 2, it’s a pretty strong opener. Best hand I’ve made so far is : both jokers and 11 is my lowest card number, everything is crow, ram or mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 It seems really strong to me. I hope we see more Lelu and Lilitu play. Refilling the hand before cycling again seems good, and let's Nekima activate later in the turn on turn 2+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkoon Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I've only had one game with her so far, and I felt I didn't have enough card draw to make any good use of the recycle mechanic. I kinda want to try her with Lelu and Lilitu, but I'm having trouble fitting them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Changeling with AP will draw one at the end of its activation and if you Dark Bargain it you draw 1 from Following Orders. I also tried Lilitu w/ AP with Noxious while having the AP Changeling so that was another card I was drawing. Felt pretty good overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhouse Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 It was corner deployment so there was no pressure T1 while I grew. Possible in standard, super unlikely to work in wedge or flank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
