DeleteAccount Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Fetid Strumpet has piked my curiosity hard in the Dead Justice use thread, soooooo what does she do and why is she so awesome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 She is board control personified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 In an attempt to be at least a bit more informative, I'll paste this from the summary thread: Jaakuna Ubume - Spirit, Unique So she's the spirit of a crazy lady who drowned her kids and is now trying to drown everyone she meets. Rather impressive ranged attack, however, I feel her real function is to lock an enemy in melee and never let it go. She has "Siren Call" which is basically a Rotten Belle's lure, EXCEPT, instead of making a melee attack if possible, the target is paralyzed if it ends in melee range. Disengaging from her requires a Wp->Wp duel, she can force enemy models declaring actions while in base contact with her to make Df duels or suffer wounds, she can reduce a target's walk to 1 given enough time, can deny movement actions, and...is pitiful. So yes....lock someone in melee and never let go. Verdict - BOARD CONTROL YES! Kirai has a tar pit to add to her arsenal. It's already dangerous enough to lure things towards Kirai (aka, Ikiryo nomming zone), but the added bonus of locking something in a position and making it suffer for being there is just awesome. Good thing this spirit has relatively low Df or we would be crying BROKEN! Don't have the book yet, so no further info from me, I'm afraid.

LoboStele Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 The way Zee explained it, is that she's the ultimately clingy mother. Has crazy abilities to keep pieces from disengaging. Something like 3 separate Duels you'd have to get through in order to disengage from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 She must be difficult to kill. Otherwise, why suffer 3 duels if you can just take swing and put her down. Half Dg with Spirit, obviously. Maybe lots of wounds? Fun defensive triggers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 It's not that she's difficult to kill per say, but the fact that she requires only 2 wounds for Kirai to take and one spirit sacrifice means that if you kill her, and Kirai wants her to stay on the table, it will be back. Very swiftly. The other thing that makes her very scary is that she has Siren Call, and an ability that gives her all the suits she needs to cast it. Paralyzing one very important model on a critical turn can mean the difference between a loss and a win in some situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Wait...Kirai can summon her onto the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes, for the same costs as an Onryo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes, for the same costs as an Onryo. Giggity. Giggity. Goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (blink blink) That's kinda gross, especially since she's a tarpit...it's like zombies in 7th edition Vampire Counts. They never go away...incredibly obnoxious. But then, she's my obnoxious tarpit, which makes her awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromorph Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 She's only 5ss, and only has 5wd...she's not hard to kill. So if she can't keep something paralyzed or they manage to pass those duels, she's probably going down. That's likely why she can be summoned back so easily.
