Disease Containment Unit - what are your opinions?

[Mikes]

As the title says - the new(ish) Guard Henchman, the Disease Containment Unit. How are they? Do you use them, and how? 

[Azahul]

Enforcer rather than Henchman, technically. Though in Dashel2 at least the distinction is relatively minor

 

I use them a lot in Hamelin2. Great synergy with the Catalan Brawler, thanks to him applying Staggered while generating extra shots targeting Mv. I guess the Pale Rider might be a comparable buddy?

 

A local Guild player got a bit of a kick out of summoning Guild Hounds then burning them to death to hand out Focus and get some corpses on the table early... that evil evil man.

the Dashel 2 trick is basically:

activate DCU:
use/stone-for a 7Mask+ to summon a doggo off the dispatcher
Shoot doggo and take trigger to remove Dispatcher (draw card, focus executioner)
Shoot doggo and take trigger to remove Dispatcher (draw card, focus executioner)
Pick up the corpse to get the stone back (or just gain one)

2 focus, 2 draw, possible stone for a 7 (masks).

If you want extra jank, you can add Sonnia 2 and gain a soulstone when the doggo dies with burning +2 on it.

 

In Dashel 1, you probably just want the Steward, who can take slow off your summons, heal your models, and give a focus with a 6M anyway.
