Maniacal_cackle Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm back to Neverborn for the next World Series event, so thought I'd make a discussion thread! I'm pretty rusty with Neverborn, so curious what people think suits what pools (which use the All packet, so will be a big change of pace). This is Round 1. What do people think? Lucius and Marcus are absolutely stellar here I feel. And of course I've always like Dreamer on corner Plant Explosives. Zoraida, Nekima both seem like fine choices as well. Euri, Pandora, and Titania? Probably not so much (although is a pretty good map for Titania). What would people play here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn King Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I am biased, but I would run Titania 2. She may not be the fastest option, but Rougarou (Champions) and the Erymanthian Boar are both very mobile and can get the job done. I would look to use her underbrush markers to clog the movement lanes and hinder the opponent's maneuverability. "Into Thorns" will continue to hinder their mobility, and almost all your models will have it. You should be able to own most the model placement. Lugharcan's Clover \should be easy to achieve, since most Terrain will be working in your favor. That Terrain will be hindering the opponents movement, giving you the tools to relocate them with "Into Thorns," and giving your boar movement shenanigans to score points. Deliver Message is also quite easy with Titania 2. With "Behold her Glory," Titania can target a Fae model within 10 inches of her or a Champion, allowing her to drop a scheme marker with 2 inches of that model. If that Fae model is tying up the enemy Master in Turn 5, easy second point. Titania can also be okay at Take Prisoner, but I think she is better at the other two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think she looked good for the map! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremor Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 ☝️Mhhh well you could also take the erymitzy Boar with Marcus. And then again you miss out on the massive underbrush marker production system of the Queen. I still think Marcus is awesome in that encounter as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkoon Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Looks like a good map to play Titania1 AND Nekima1 for the good old "kill-everything-first-scheme-later" strategy? Back them up with some flying fast nephiliim and a shaman for some free focus. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Dyson Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Zoraida loves round 1. Grootslang, Silurid and First Mate can cover strategy, spread them out and power ritual. Z2 can feed the power ritual while setting up for drawing cards with Moth Witch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooo, Grootslang is not one I considered. That's really cool. Also opens up the door for Marcus!

Maniacal_cackle Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Also what do people reckon for Round 2? It's a very difficult pool, with no guidance for positioning from the points... I could see a slow roller (like Dreamer or puppet summoning builds), or I could see going something super aggressive (like Titania or Nekima). I do think that summoners tend to struggle on wedge since they have no time to abuse the game. Lucius also seems great of course. Marcus likes the map but not sure how well he'd do the pool against a turtle. Pandora is possibly the best I can think of, offering both summons and brutal play on wedge?

How is Titania on corner? I often like her on wedge/more aggressive deployments. I may have misunderstood the initial post, thinking you were asking for double master combinations. Titania herself is quite fast and if you pair her with Nekima, the duo is beyond brutal. As a single master I have played her in corner, and I can make it work, but probably not optimal for her.

Autumn King Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Titania as a whole is moderately fast, if you want her quicker take Rougarou and roar key pieces forward to increase speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhouse Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Did R2 practice last night Titania Gorar Mysterious Rex Kurgan Bowman Titania and the Emissary took 0 walk actions because of the Kurgan, it also brought the Gorar turned Rex in to the game from the back of my DZ in a single activation. Very good unpack fixer and allows some serious aggression 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Also that list is notable for being a build where everything important ignores severe, which can be tricky in Neverborn for most masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted July 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Round 1 got Lucius locked in vs Molly! And my top build only has one Ancient Pact. Ancient Pact is like the whole reason I play Neverborn. What has happened?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremor Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Why just 1 ancient pact? Probably because the second doesnt fit in anymore…?? That makes me currious. Do you mind posting your fav build here? I guess i would play something like that: Round 1 (Neverborn) Size: 50 - Pool: 7 Leader: Lucius Mattheson, Dishonorable Totem(s): The Scribe Hires: Agent 46 Hinamatsu Vasilisa Guild Lawyer Ancient Pact Changeling Ancient Pact Wicked Doll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I went for a Mature Nephilim. I did go for two ancient pacts in the end, but am worried about only 5 stones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal_cackle Posted July 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 There's round 2! Neverborn where my Lucius takes on Euripides 2. I've also played round 3 but forgot to record it... beat Nekima 2. Final round I'll likely be at the top table, so if I can win one more game I'm on podium or possibly first place! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
