loststarr Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Last night I tried running the following list mainly because it was the modes available I was wondering if anyone else had tried using the hanged in a Kirai List Kirai Datsue-Ba The hanged x2 Seishin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes, they don't hit hard enough for her imho. She's an aggro master and Hanged is more of a slow-play/control minion. Personally I think Hanged are hugely overrated for every Rezzer master, though. I rarely run them anymore, they're only good against living lists and those are few and far between and impossible to predict in any case.

Ratty Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hanged are very good with Kirai. They can support her other troops very well. A flip on Wp makes it easier for Ikiryo & Onryo to hit and for Spells to work. It has high Wp so can go toe-to-toe with Pandora, a single hit and it's all over for her as Incite/Pacify is no longer effective so she loses all mobility. Not to mention it's ability to stop things healing, hit a Coryphee once with that and it's on 4Wds and can't heal, it will practically take it out the game. I do think 2 is too many, I would always swap one for Jack Daw as the two combined are far better than 2 Hanged. Jack Daw making sure that the Hanged strikes go through by stopping the target cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loststarr Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have a Jack Daw, so I could swap out one the hanged for him but would need to drop the Seishin, My group right now are playing 25 pts lists which would make my list Kirai Datsue-Ba The hanged Jack Daw Which kinda makes me think that this is a little low on the model count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 yeah I would drop Datsu-ba and take the Lost Love + Seishin. LL can still heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loststarr Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Guess I will need to add lost love to my shoping list, currently waiting for 2 more senshin to come in. An I think i am going to need to pick up some Gaki too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've seen Hanged do some seriously brutal things in a Kirai list, but I think they get sidelined when you take into account other available minions. Although I have seen a Kirai / Jack Daw / Hanged x2 list do fair well. So I dunno. Play around with them and write up a strategy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Lately, if I'm playing Kirai, I'm taking at least one Hanged. They provide Kirai some interesting options, and they are something that she can't summon. For me, the fact that she can't summon them makes them a better choice than some of the other things you can get. As has been said, they work best against a living crew. With seemingly fewer people taking living models, their Terrifying isn't nearly as good as it could be. Of course, as was also pointed out, the negative twist to WP can be a big deal as long as the opponent isn't Immune to Influence. Datsue-Ba + Hanged can work quite nicely, if you manage to get it set up correctly. I do think the Hanged have a place in some Kirai lists. They're not an auto-include by any means, but they give you additional options beyond what I typically see many people fielding with her.

CaptainTrouser Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I normally don't use kirai in smaller games [<35 ss ] but in larger games I'll normally take one just for the control on them- they can absolutely burn through your opponants hand if used right. Also, using Hangman's Knot to drag enemie's away from Squishies like kirai is often rather useful- if you can set it up right you can shut down a melee threat for a few turns with a hanged. Still, not a common choice for me, 'cos Kirai has more important things to take, LL, Seishin and Datsu-ba almost always go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
