Obscure_Ref Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 So I have been play testing Hamlin the Ratcatcher with my Pandy crew, and after every game I have had I've received the same response from my different opponents, "wow, that is brutal..." So I ask, is this combo too hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's pretty tough, but he is 10 SS of tough. To be honest with you, as a former Pandora player, I dropped her completely after much whining from my group. At first I pinned it on them not being used to her, but I've come to the conclusion that she's a little too OP for my tastes. Stacking models like Hamelin on top of that is just like kicking somebody when they're already down. Granted, that could just be my group. Back to the original point, I think he's quite brutal with her, and you're obviously getting good results. If your friends are okay with you playing Pandora in the first place, then no, I don't think he's "too hard." But if they keep complaining, you might want to consider dropping him. No point playing in a non tournament setting if people aren't enjoying the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicpockets Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 For 10ss take JackDaw with her, they'll be begging for Hamelin to come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allidor Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 For 10ss take JackDaw with her, they'll be begging for Hamelin to come back That's the truth, lol. If they don't like Hamelin you can always take Lelu/Lillitu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergoth Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's the truth, lol. If they don't like Hamelin you can always take Lelu/Lillitu Amen to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So I have been play testing Hamlin the Ratcatcher with my Pandy crew, and after every game I have had I've received the same response from my different opponents, "wow, that is brutal..." So I ask, is this combo too hard? The simple answer is, no. Malifaux is a very brutal game where the combos can reach game shattering proportions. This, to put it bluntly, is about middle of the road. I consider it truthfully, nothing all that special. It's mean, but there are much much worse combinations out there. MP gave a good example, Jack Daw and Pandora is just a bit to mean for friendly games in my eyes. The thing is, your friends will realize the brutality of the game eventually. When Samael can 1 shot Pandora it kinda puts things into perspective . My advice... keep using it if you enjoy it and find it fun but try and open your friends eyes to the brutality of the game. Pandora is far from invincible she, just like most of hte Neverborn, take some thinking to really beat and compete against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicpockets Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Pandora with 7ss Doppleganger (copy unhealthy relationship and emotional trauma) Sorrow (b2b with the DG and copy emotional trauma) JackDaw Hamelin Poltergeist or - Pandora with 5ss Doppleganger (copy unhealthy relationship and emotional trauma) Sorrow (b2b with the DG and copy emotional trauma) JackDaw Lelu Lilitu That's how combos really work :firedevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora + Doppleganger + Sorrows can yield quite a few strange combinations. Such things as the Peire Ravage mini nuke is a good one.

Koschai Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So you guy's are referencing the original Hamelin the Rat Catcher rather than the new Henchman right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Amos Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 When in doubt, stay away from Pandora and Hammy (both version) altogether for casual games. There's a game balance versus intended fun versus page five arguement rolled all up into it, but the default is the classic "when in doubt, try not to be a dick."
