Seduction+Influence= WIN

[ChaosPhantom104]

So, just today I was playing a game against a buddy of mine, him using the PoM side of the 2-player BB plus two paladins and me running a standard pDenny 2 slayers, 2 deathrippers, 2 sirens and a min unit of soulhunters, just for fun. The game started out pretty well. Slayers took down the vanquisher and crusader with little difficulty thanks to parasite and some brutal combo strike damage rolls. CG helped the SH to get some hurt on the cinerators, but things went south after that. Kreoss dumped CG with purification, and annihilated the soulhunters. After some shuffling and running, the armies met at the center, squared off to end things. I feated to try and get the alpha strike and break through his infantry, but poor placement left me at an awkward angle. More shuffling from kreoss and things looked no better, but then I saw it: seduction. So I seduced a paladin with my siren and walked him around to kreoss, and missed.. Thankfully, a lone and overlooked deathripper found himself in the paladin's back arc, and after two influences the paladin still hadn't hit kreoss. Two more however, led to a lovely eleven damage and then exactly seven, enough to take down the High Exemplar with his very own paladin. I never thought I'd find a use for influence, and yet I find it winning me a game, for only four focus. Definitely a combo I shall bare in mind next time I get discouraged in a similar situation.

neato. Seems like fun. I don't think I have ever used the sirens seduction. In order of use I use: power booster, venom, shadow bind (been using this a lot more lately), and never seduction. Maybe I should try it out. I usually forget about it because it's a two point solo that does 4 different things. She can't be responsible for all those jobs all the time so I just always think of her as a power booster until a better opportunity comes along.

That sounds pretty great. I have to try it out and see where I can get with it!

[ChaosPhantom104]

it was really situational, but the fact that it was there at all was what surprised me. I guess it just strengthens the fact that Cryx has an answer for a great many of situations. O.o

plus I've been playing my sirens a little more aggressively lately, having them a little closer to the fray, in the thick of it, so that also helped in this scenario.

And one of the reasons the ILO is kind of a sub par choice at 3 points.....if he was 2 I'd be more impressed with him.

I think the overseer looks good on paper but from what I've heard his actual performance on the table is pretty subpar. I asked the PG at my LGS what he thought of it as I saw him fielding it and he says "Well, I took him with two scavengers..and they all died round two." Me-"That could've been a full bane with the UA!" Him-"yeah or nightmare.." Ah well. perhaps a cryxian marshal was never meant to be..

We need a bone jack with a twelve inch range gun to make the ILO happy.

[ChaosPhantom104]

oh no, because giving cryx any decent ranged would be just unthinkable. :P I hate how all of our best ranged stuff is on rat5 'jacks....sorry, crabjacks, but it doesn't matter if you're shooting a caster instakill pill, if you can't hit, better leave it at home. (thank goodness for boosting..)
