Hey all....I'm in this event called Fight Club and I'm playing Retribution. We progress from 25 to 50 to 75 to 100 points. I'm planning on using Kaelyssa as my initial caster, but I'm stuck on who to use as my 2nd caster at 100 points. I'm leaning towards Rahn, but I can see reasons to use any of the others here. So...help a brother out. Give me some ideas on who my 2nd caster should be.

Depends on what troops/jacks you're using. I'm partial to Ravyn myself because I'm into the Mage Hunters, and she's just brutal with them with Snipe and her feat (even in MkII). I've used the combo before in MkI and it worked out pretty nicely. Garryth is also solid with, well, pretty much anything. (Heck, I'd just pack a Chimera or two with him for the arc nodes for Death Sentence and just effectively run him as a solo.)

Really, any of them could work, it just depends on what you want to run with them.

When I look at casters for duo games, I look for casters who can provide something to the entire army.

So things like Kaelyssa's feat, Ravyn's Feat, and Vyros's feat come to mind.

Vyros is a good support caster, I think he can work well with anyone.

Garryth is a super solo; mirage can be utilized by a unit or himself. He is a very palpable threat.

i know when i go to temple con i'm using kaelyssa and Ravyn in the dynamic duo event. i love how both casters play seperetely, and can only imagine they'd work great together ^^" not that i'll use it too much, but a range 16 runebolt cannon from kaelyssa sounds so fun.

Kaelyssa and Garryth make a pretty good team for more of a sneaky assassination plan.

Rahn on the other hand is much more support and will buy you extra time to let Kaelyssa do her thing.

Slightly off topic but Vyros and Rahn can get some insane jack threat ranges between them.

Rahn is certainly adept, the feat will not aide Kaelyssa too much but Forcefield is so very strong with Hydras inside of Kaelyssa's battlegroup as their range and power just keeps going up as the aoes deviate. Also, eight focus and d6' slam is also very nice to set up focus stealing attacks or other shooting.
