Twisted Metal Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I think this has been done before but its hasn’t been recent or after the release of the new book. So anyway what do you think is the best non master / henchman model in each SS point level. For instance what is the best 1ss, 2ss, 3ss and so on. Heres my list off the top of my head. 1ss: Grave Spirit 2ss: Desperate Merc 3ss: Terror Tot 4ss: Rotten Belle 5ss: Stitched Together 6ss: Torakage 7ss: Lilitu 8ss: Kang 9ss: Rail Golem 10ss: Dead Rider (just edges out Izzy) 11ss: Snow Storm 12ss: Desolation Engine 13ss: Ashes 14ss: Duet.

Kadeton Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 4 SS: Witchling Stalker. By like a billion miles. 14 SS: Coryphee Duet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 9ss for me would be Jack Daw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'd much rather have a Lelu @ 7 than a Lilitu. Ok so he loses on utility, but he's the ultimate killing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 TBH I would probably count Lelu+Lilitu as a 14ss.. I don't know if I would ever take them singularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmikehill Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I honestly think Tuco is pound for pound the BEST 7ss model in the game. Regen 1, nimble, a 0 action that pushes him 3 inches and gives all enemy attack a is nuts. That and his hard to kill and decent combat spread makes him one hell of model for very little cost.

LonelyPath Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I agree with Ratty on the Lelu & Lilitu, I'd treat them as a single minion choice at 14SS, however I would still prefer a Coryphee Duet. 4SS is without doubt the Witchling Stalker, those things are a steal.

Cunning Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I can foresee Oiran becoming my favourite 4ss model. All that utility for 4ss is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Surely Night Terror is the best 3ss model. There are a lot of amazing 4ss models; Belle, Witchling, Oyran, Madness etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Surely Night Terror is the best 3ss model. I think the Watcher could give it a run for its money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 True. Another way to do this would be to do it by band then by faction so for example; Arcanist 1-3ss Mobile Toolkit Arcanist 4-6ss LSPA Arcanist 7-9ss Cassandra Arcanist 10ss+ Coryphee Duette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Metal Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) 1: Im surprised the Jackalope supporters haven't chimed in. 2: I picked Lilitu over Lelu for the utility and easier time of summoning a Lelu 3: I picked the tot because it can run 10 inches and punch you in the face for min 3 dmg. 4: while making this list I found certain point levels incredibly difficult to pick one and yet some levels there was no close contender.

Sniddy Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 As a marcus player Jack is a great 1SS But if they made gravespirt a beast...yeh sorry it's the best 1 SS 2SS Merc still 3SS Watcher is good but Night terrors in trios make it 4SS Stalker - probably, Wastrals I think will see some use, or Orions 5SS LSPA - or Ronin in faction - warden is awesome 6SS Waldergiest 7SS Tuco close 2nd Nino 8SS Taelor in faction, Mechanical rider 9SS Pale Rider 10SS Dead Rider Then the options really break down...

Odin1981 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 A trio of night terrors is then 9 points however. I would think this would be just one minion for its point cost not in multiples. I'd reiterate the merc at 2ss, and daw at 9ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hateful Darkblack Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 1ss: (Totems aren't minions, but if they were, Grave Spirit.) 2ss: Marionette 3ss: Watcher 4ss: Union Miner 5ss: Stitched Together 6ss: Performer & Mannequin 7ss: Nix 8ss: Kang 9ss: Jack Daw 10ss: STILL JACK DAW. And if you try to take him off the list, he'll just discard a card and ignore you. 11ss: Killjoy 12ss: Three Union Miners, I guess? 13ss: Ashes and Dust 14ss: Coryphee Duet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Guessing I must be the only one who sees the Wicked Dolls as right up there with any other of the best 3 ss minions. I know they only have 2 wounds but get them into combat with a non-master and their high defence will cause a real problem. I had one take teddy down to 2 wounds while keeping him out of the game for 2 or 3 turns for instance. I won't list all of their benefits but they crop up in my lists time and time again.

Ozz Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think the Watcher could give it a run for its money. I think for me how much of a pain to kill night terrors are would have them win it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrosion Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 For 7 SS the best minion is Tuco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcXON Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hmm mine is a bit close to most 2ss: Desperate Merc 3ss: Night Terror 4ss: Pigapult 5ss: Stitched Together 6ss: Torakage 7ss: Nix the Bull Terrier 8ss: Kang 9ss: Jack Daw 10ss: Dead Rider 11ss: Killjoy (He is a Tactic) 12ss: Desolation Engine (by default) 13ss: Nekima 14ss: Twins (Since everyone is calling out Duet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm actually surprised that Convicted Gunslinger is not listed. He was so populate they made a LE transvestite version of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRC Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 4ss: Union Miner 6ss: Performer & Mannequin These are two very unusual choices, especially given the competition in those slots. Would you mind giving a bit of an explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz the cat Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I still think 4ss rotten belle is the best bang for buck. Its got alot of things going for it. good movement (as it isnt affected by terrain), Solid attack for a 4ss minion, great toughness, lots of health, very accurate lure (my favorite spell in the game), so other utility spells. Its a great package for just 4ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 These are two very unusual choices, especially given the competition in those slots. Would you mind giving a bit of an explanation? 4ss: Rotten Belle is also awesome, I will admit, and I almost picked them, but I have gotta say, I really love the Union Miner. You get a bunch of them in the right Crew, and they give incredible mobility. They can appear, charge, and disappear, with a lot of bonuses. File False Claim pretty much means they can teleport to where I want 'em every turn. Besides the Belle and the Miner, I don't see many big choices. 6ss: Papa Loco seems to backfire a lot. Young Nephilim is too easy to kill. So's Mr. Tannen, though I still need to learn more. Yamaziko would probably be on this if she were out yet. Torakage I have but haven't played yet. Exorcist is way too slow. Madame Sybelle is quite nice too, I'll admit, but I have seen so many great combinations that use the Mannequin, and the Performer is flexible (though often hard to get to use). For 6ss, Performer and Mannequin seems like a great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
