Joel Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 This list works better at 40ss than 35ss, but can still function well if you are prepared to give up moving zoraida on turn 1. At 35ss: Zoraida 7ss collodi 4 marionettes performer & mannequin lazarus At 40ss you give up one soulstone and add in a pair of wicked dolls. The plan: In 35ss, zoraida creates a wicked doll, Lazarus assimilates link from the mannequin and links to the wicked doll. Collodi and zoraida can now set out with high movement, the wicked doll can teleport to one of them, bringing Lazarus to wherever you need him to be. He can then assimilate collodi's talents (perfect machine perhaps, living puppets could be good, puppet master would be another possibility), or spells (dismantle, breathe life). From the link Lazarus would also gain poison from being in base contact with the wicked doll as an extra touch. At 40ss, zoraida doesn't have to waste ap creating a wicked doll The mannequin itself can link to zoraida or collodi for some extra annoyance for your opponent.

Joel Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hmm...lots of views, no comments. The idea of a teleporting gun platform not floating anyone's boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I don't know enough about either Z or Collodi to comment on this, but I had come up with something similar involving using Link from the Mannequin, although this was in a Colette crew and was to enable Lazarus to link the Duet. Same idea, different implementation - have you tried this in a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I dislike using proxies, but may relent to try this in my next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sorrows have link if you want something cheaper than a preformer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sorrows have link if you want something cheaper than a preformer True, but Lazarus cannot assimilate link from a sorrow as its not a construct. Is there a construct cheaper than the performer&mannequin that has link? (that zoraida could take). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sounds like a fun list. The only problem I have with it is that both assimilate and link are zero actions. So are you really spending two scrap counters for the constant upgrade of link? Cause you can't do both assimilate and link in one turn...

Joel Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes, you need to take, and kill the extra wicked dolls to get the scrap to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm going to throw it out there that I'm not too convinced by this. Nice idea, and props for thinking of it, but paying 18 points for the combo (The performer and the lazarus) just to get some shots off seems a bit mediocre if you ask me. I'd much rather take tuco and a convict gunslinger, for less points and still decent shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 And you'd be right! It's possible, but not even I would advise doing it outside of simply having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm going to have to +1 *Jack* here - Neat idea, but to much of an investment for what you're trying to do. If I wanted to boost Lazy's mobility in a Zoraida crew, I'd use an Insidious Madness to strip Immune to Influence and then repulsive and obey him with Zoraida and/or the Voodoo Doll.

omnivision6 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm with Joel on this one. That seems like tons of fun. Once I get my Lazerous from my friend, I will be doing this. Unexpected also catches people off guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilifaux Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but how are you hiring the performer in a Zoraida crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivision6 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The Performer can be hired as a mercenary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcXON Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The Performer can be hired as a mercenary. For 8 SS...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
