#

When spending strength tokens on a line, you have no choice but to expend them on the first enemy the line touches, right?

#

Since I guess technically the line touches them first

storm pine
#

Oh shit fr?

primal nest
#

It works like splashes

storm pine
#

Nice

#

Damn. Line and certain splashes seem...

#

Just inherently superior to rolled attacks in every single way

#

I guess that's why their effects and damage are more on the tame side

primal nest
#

Lines can be blocked by walls and elevation

ivory igloo
#

you don’t roll for lines and splashes, right?

storm pine
#

Correct

#

Autohit

#

Includes friendly units tho 👀

#

And what salt said is a huge factor too

#

Unless you Bansheemax like me

primal nest
#

Damage Splashes are also usually tied to either attacks or self splashes

#

They are still really good, and important for actually get dmg on Necros early on

storm pine
#

I'm a line enjoyer

#

Line supremacy, splashes are for debuffs

primal nest
#

Line alright

ivory igloo
#

I wish to send a revved carnifex with berserk straight to necro and frens

#

wild slashes

storm pine
#

Tactical Carnifex Missile

ivory igloo
#

oh while I am here, can berserk damage be bodyblocked?

primal nest
#

Nope

#

It’s a splash

ivory igloo
#

thanks

pseudo flicker
primal nest
#

The carnifex knows where it is

pseudo flicker
#

a penitent only need 4 vitality to tank it all up without taking any damage

ivory igloo
#

gunwights, go!

primal nest
#

Armor goes first

pseudo flicker
pseudo flicker
primal nest
#

Only 1

pseudo flicker
#

ah

#

lmao

#

skill issue

thorn sky
ivory igloo
#

what upgrade would be funny for 4 to 6 to 8 gunwights

surreal bronze
#

Sheesh, why am I so lazy? I could have printed muh minis today.

#

But no.

#

; - ;)

primal nest
thorn sky
ivory igloo
#

oh no you killed my frie- hey free loot!

primal nest
#

Lots of corpse to feed you lil dudes

surreal bronze
#

Lmao.

ivory igloo
#

what would go well with at least 6 of them and maybe ammo gobbo

primal nest
#

Scavenge ammo

#

Lol

ivory igloo
#

I mean other units this time lololol

#

I now see that scavenge ammo is nice for thrall frens

primal nest
#

Upgrades for who?

ivory igloo
#

units not upgrades
what units would be nice for accompanying small horde of gunwights

surreal bronze
#

Egis.

ivory igloo
#

I am bad with words lol

primal nest
#

probably egis to deny space

ivory igloo
#

6x gunwights (scavenge ammo), 1x ammo goblin (hot chamber?), 1x egis (prolly heavy caliber cannon or gunner pivot?)

I dunno much about the necro’s traits/act/soul schtuff tbh because I’ve been looking at the other factions lololol

primal nest
#

Seems decent

ivory igloo
#

hmm
heavy caliber cannon + bone shards on a target seems pretty mean

& then regurgitate ammo on egis the next turn

primal nest
#

For that you can probably drop hot chamber for vomit bullets

surreal bronze
#

Don't think you need to be that mean. Focusing fire with some damage traits is already overkill with Carcass...

ivory igloo
primal nest
#

Then take bone wall and SG88 for the Necro

primal nest
ivory igloo
#

ok, last question and I’m done for the time being 😄

what would be soul upgrades to consider for C.A.R.C.A.S.S. necro?

primal nest
#

You got a lot of thralls. STG and Bullet Sonata are good choices

umbral cipher
#

They're all pretty solid but just good value pickups include stuff like Double-Tap

primal nest
#

Yeah

#

Frag bullet is also pretty good here

#

Got a lot of chip

storm pine
#

IGNITE

storm pine
primal nest
#

Lol

ivory igloo
#

Ignite seems like fun to use on berserker

primal nest
#

Very!

#

Juice your big boy up

ivory igloo
#

do you follow up with building rage or one of the other two acts

primal nest
#

The other two

#

You got 2 berserk and strength already

#

Also hey mox players i want a second opinion on this cuz I’ve thinkin bout it for a hot sec

How do you feel about slow?

storm pine
#

I am not a Mox player but have built hella Mox Masses, and have played against them more than any other faction

#

Slow is crazy strong

#

Absolutely neuters an enemy's ability to effectively position

primal nest
#

How have you been applying it? I feel like the targets you wanna use them on the most have a lot of ways to play around it, like with step and free movement

terse jewel
#

So what's the gameplan with Igorri, generally? Both times I've played them (both on 0 Malice, to be fair) the game ended with me barely forcing a draw by running away with my necromancer
I want to know if I'm making some completely stupid mistake before I actually get to play them with upgrades

glacial junco
#

Generally its, Turn one strig puke on to your mass.

#

Turn 2 lycan eats corpses

#

Then adjust from there.

#

Your best units bar none are lycans and strigs you should sorta treat as a second freak.

#

Necro is used for the utility or for their magic damage attack (They are the only ones with one so be wise)

#

Big homo is a wall of beef but i always think you should spend a turn and fleshcraft them to have a vit if possible

terse jewel
#

It only really occured to me that strig can regurgitate on friendly units halfway through the second game I played, I definitely do need to make use of that more, especially when the main issue I found was lycans dying before they can really build strength and do a bunch of damage

glacial junco
#

Yeah Strigs are like, A big deal. The only problem is if you are fighting Abhorrors be aware at higher malice they WILL bring the corpse clear

#

So you will want to delay your strigs as much as you can

#

New Mats is decent but I don't like it unless you think you will see corpse clear (strig and Chopdoc make enough corpses ya know)

#

Btw even if you don't think you should move your doc. Make them do a little dance (Move one space then one back) just to see if they drop a free corpse

terse jewel
#

I've employed the Doc Dance strategy before yeah

#

Definitely does seem like the main thing I did wrong was not paying enough attention to lycan, somehow
The first time I don't think I used them at all, the second time I did notice they're really strong but didn't get the opportunity to use it

glacial junco
#

My necromancer forcing the doc to drop a body Its the little shake soldiers do in mgs3

glacial junco
#

But they are really mobile and have a splash self if they hit so they are your best chance at getting damage in on units

#

Your big lad I honest;ly treat more and more like a screen until he can Absorb someone. Kinda lika pallette to Clone Genome from too.

terse jewel
#

I did get a Homunculus with I think literally 20 tokens on it by the end of the 2nd game I played

primal nest
#

Holy fuck

terse jewel
#

2 Mutation, 5 Speed, 4 Strength, 12 Vitality

glacial junco
#

I uh

terse jewel
#

And I'm definitely excited to try Igorri with actual Malice
Form Carapace seems really strong with the infinite tokens you can get

glacial junco
#

Did you poly marry your homunculus

primal nest
terse jewel
#

I think in total I ate like 7, then I Sample Genomed onto my necro, then from the necro back onto the Homunculus (because by then every other unit was dead)

primal nest
#

Jesus

terse jewel
#

I was one SOUL short of copying it back to the necromancer too

primal nest
#

i still don’t feel that sample genoming your Necro is intended

terse jewel
#

I don't see why it wouldn't be?
"Unit" includes necromancers as far as I'm aware

primal nest
#

Well the minimum range of sample genome is 1. And range 1 is all adjacent spaces to the user

#

Not the user itself

terse jewel
#

I think you might be right actually

#

I assume Range for Soul abilities is meant to be counted from your necromancer

primal nest
#

They are yeah

terse jewel
#

The irony in this is for all other Houses I've always very careful paid attention to what the targetting is, it's just this specific ability that for some reason I overlooked it

deep schooner
#

Can someone help me get the foundry stuff for Maleghast working? I try to install the Icon system and it says the lancer initiative module does not provide a download url that can be installed

primal nest
primal nest
#

It’s in the pins

deep schooner
#

I have followed the instructions and am still running into problems

primal nest
#

Ic

#

I dunno who else here messes around with foundry

deep schooner
#

Damn,

#

I started by trying to install the simple world building system because after seeing that the Foundry instructions didn't include what system the Maleghast module went with i assumed that one. that was wrong. I eventually found a pinned message in this channel that said the ICON system is the one to use, so i tried using that, and it complained Lancer initiative didn't have a valid URL to download it with, and from there I tried to figure out how to fix that, couldn't and decided to see if anyone else had had problems like this

thorn sky
#

wanna watch me make a sin out of every faction name?

storm pumice
#

btw do we know what the actual timing of Igorri chirurgeon Rapid move trait is supposed to be? Start of or end of own turn?

thorn sky
#

Carcussy
Goregrindussy
Gargamussy
Deadussy
Abhussy
Igorrussy

primal nest
#

You know I never noticed that

terse jewel
thorn sky
terse jewel
#

I think the most reasonably explanation here is

#

The f and r on a keyboard are right next to each other

#

"Start or end" -> "Start of end"

storm pumice
#

i can live with that interpretation 😄

terse jewel
#

Besides, I don't think if it was meant to be either one of them, it'd be overlooked like this
While the 'of' can be easily enough read as an 'or' when skimming through

storm pumice
#

our first interpretation was that it was supposed to be one of the 2 and then tom changed his mind and just missed deleting the previous test when putting in the new one

terse jewel
#

Yeah that's what my first thought was too when I saw it, but I think that'd be much more easily noticed

#

Probably should be put into the typo doc, but personally I'd interpet it as 'or' for now

#

Well, I guess then there's the issue of: Is it 'or' as in you have to choose one, or 'or' as in you have the option to do so in either situation

deep schooner
#

and then manually download it

#

Does using the garg necromancer's ability to explode 3 plague tokens on a guy after an attack do 3 damge or 1 damage 3 times re: armor (ward) subtracts damage by 1 to a minimum of 0

#

A unit may only benefit from armor once nvmmmm

#

No, "Any time it takes damage"

#

I'm so confused

primal nest
#

Its 1 dmg 3 times, and Ward blocks the toxic

#

So it would only take the dmg from the phys hit

sonic canopy
#

So is 'affected by plague' the status granted by having a plague token or something else

primal nest
#

That’s just a cheeky way of saying that garg has ways to benefit from it

#

Like with rotten using plague as strength

sonic canopy
#

Right

#

But right in the middle it says that plague toxic ignores armor

primal nest
#

Mox doesn’t take dmg from plague

sonic canopy
#

That's the next sentence, I'm talking about the one before it

primal nest
#

What about it

short estuary
#

Exploding plague tokens isn't the same as being affected by plague in that text

#

It would be 3 instances of 1 damage

sonic canopy
#

And because it's not the plague effect removing the token, it's effected by ward

short estuary
#

Correct

sonic canopy
#

thank you!

#

I appreciate your help both of you, I'm having trouble digesting the rules 😭

primal nest
#

Yeah you are basically removing a plague to do 1 regular toxic dmg

short estuary
#

They can be a little confusing

primal nest
#

It can be a lot at first

#

Especially Mox

sonic canopy
#

Playing against abhorrers rn and everyone has super or magical armor and idk how I'm supposed to hurt anything

short estuary
#

Welcome to hell

sonic canopy
#

yeah

primal nest
#

Hazards and plague are very useful against them

short estuary
#

The issue ends up being able to deliver the final blow

storm pumice
#

hazards go through armor, as do the plague procs themselves

thorn sky
#

I NAMED MY BERSERKER "HEAVENSBANE" FOR A REASON

primal nest
#

Although triple penitents is rough in general

storm pumice
#

and keep your Rotten save if you have them

short estuary
#

Rotten using plague as strength is a good finisher

#

Or necrocide

#

Or necrophagous blade handing out str

primal nest
#

Mox wants strength gen in order to really finish off the dudes you chip down

short estuary
#

And sometimes that's still not enough because of vigor

#

Or is it vitality

#

The one that makes you take one less damage

primal nest
#

Keep in mind tho that Carni Blade and Necrocide are attacks

storm pumice
#

i think its only called vigor like once or twice and is usually vitality 😄

primal nest
#

You can miss with them and not get the strength

#

So with those you wanna target units with low DF

short estuary
#

Wait is it carniphagous blade or necrophagous blade

#

I'm combining it and necrocide aren't I

primal nest
#

Carniphagous

#

Yes

#

Lol

short estuary
#

See necrophagous is a real word

#

This is why I'm confused

#

is deadsouls necro w/ maggot destroyer, great urgal blade & twist sinews Darth Vader in the hallway at turn 5

sonic canopy
#

Ok. What DOES it mean that armor reduces damage by one any time you would take damage, but you can gain the benefit of armor once.

#

^ Same paragraph ^

primal nest
#

So super armor and phys armor can’t reduce phys dmg by 2 for example

sonic canopy
#

you had me there for a second

#

that

#

that's a real important 't

primal nest
#

Sry i am a known haver of typos

sonic canopy
#

I'm also a typoist

short estuary
#

I refuse to take accountability for when that happens because I definitely type it correctly and my phone autocorrect decides to invert the meaning half the time

primal nest
#

Autocorrect also screws me over too

storm pumice
#

thats why i simply turned off autocorrect and make my own typos

#

can't let AI take all human tasks away

short estuary
#

It's just helpful enough to leave it on when I fat finger a single letter

sonic canopy
#

Yeah but then you have my problem

My wishlist for abhorrers buffs is literally just give zealot 4+ DF or something

#

I know that horrors are meant to be fragile and I know it can generate vitality and I know abhorrers have miracle

But my zealots still explode so fast whenever I use them which means I never want to use them

which is a pity because huge flail

When people run this with printed or static image maps, how is wall damage typically handled?

#

I mean walls that are on the battlefield to start specifically, not player created walls

terse jewel
#

I always just use a blank image for the board, and everything including hazards, walls etc. I put down as a token

#

When a wall takes 1 damage I just put an X over it, then when it takes damage again I get rid of the token

#

I cover them.

Make a note like Wall 1/2 etc

sonic canopy
#

Does improved strength also increase the damage of the second clause?

primal nest
#

If you have more than one strength yeah

#

One strength does not apply to the whole ability

sonic canopy
#

So you kind of spend the strength tokens for each point of damage you want to increase?

#

But you can't choose to ofc

valid wedge
#

You spend strength at every instance of damage. And can spend no more than 1 strength per instance.

sonic canopy
#

Can you choose not to use any strength on a given attack?

#

Say I had a rotten with a few plague tokens on him, I could save them for attacking an enemy necromancer?

spice stag
sonic canopy
#

That's what I thought

#

You have to use at least one, or must use all that you can?

spice stag
#

every instance of damage you do you have to consume a token until you stop doing damage or all your tokens are gone

#

so if you have three token and do 2 instances of damage you consume 2 tokens and do a total of 4 damage

#

and youll still have 1 token left

sonic canopy
#

Cool!

And at best, you can knock a Vuln token off an enemy and a Str off yourself for +2 in a single instance of damage.
