Luis Mendoza: My congratulations to Dario, with a 5 – 0 , based on a list with Karazai and a lot of shootcast. The roster is composed by 2 Regiments, under Vanguard Wing Battle formation the list turns on improve board presence using the Longstrike as threat since thie unit has the Vanguard keyword.

The General is Karazai, one of the most deadly SCE unit for combat, that improves lethality as long is getting damaged; fast and durable, specially if counts with ward; here Knight Relictor is the bearer of enhacements covering the need, using Envoy of the Heavens, this Infantry Priest hero – level 1 – also add benefits in the defensive game, reducing ward in -1 to rolls in an enemy unit, supporting the durability on the General. Mirrorshield artefact in Relictor deny the chance to be target of shooting abilities beyond 9″ of him. The extra value in this is the access to the prayer lore of SCE, including Healing Storm on Karazai and taking him away from combat using Translocation.

And about the non-heroic units, the Storm Coven, a wizard unit level 1 – or level 2 if they are contesting an objective -, contribute in the game with their spell ability to add Strike First or Strike Last -absoutely a plus on Karazai -, besides to get into the game to the Primal Energy manifestations depending on conditions in-game. And now, the shooting units, Longstrikes and Vigilors, the first of them an elite unit specialized on downing heroes, with a high mobility considering they are Infantry, able to move up to 11″ and shoot anything within 18″, bearing in mind that Vanguard Wing could help setting up a unit in any place of the table beyond 9″ of enemy units, the threatening area is wide. 2 simple units and 1 reinforced – this one with Priority Target -, the shooting damage output is high; if one of these units stays tangled to Karazai using the maximum advance there’s no movement restriction and the combination is impressive. Then come Vigilors, their contribution to improve the +1 at hit rolls – yes, also in Karazai – relief the dependency on AoA, and saving the CP to perform Power Through. The list is taking Vanquishers, usable against horde units and as sacrifice screen to trigger Envoy of the Heavens.

The Primal Energy becomes important to heal Karazai and add screening bodies.

Congrats Dario!

Luis Mendoza: Cheers on Wolfgang 2nd podium place. His list is based in fast units, driven by Vanguard units mostly, able to reach far targets by shooting or even by charge. The Battle formation helps to improve resilience in Prosecutors mainly, this with a 5+ ward, with 2 drops there’s a good chance to decide priority.

The hero section starts with Zephyros, – who’s retired to Legends since last June 1st -, the General leads the Vanguard Regiment, able to jump to any part of the field by herself to steal objectives and meet mobility tactics, bearer of the Mirrorshield artefact to avoid being targeted by shooting attacks outside 9″. Lord Veritant is the priest level 1, with the unbind ability, in charge to use SCE prayer lore and assign a 5+ ward by Envoy of the Heavens Heroic Trait, also leading the 2nd regiment.

Vanguard units offer a wide attack zone to cover, even with the nerfed Vanguard Chamber ability, allowing to chose a unit in your hero phase, to run or retreat and still shoot and charge, the perfect complement for Javelins, moving 14″ + 6″ using At the Double, +12″ in shooting/charge range. Repeating range attacks if they charged is feasible to create a pretty decent output damage. The Longstrikes also playing the Hammer in Range role, can support the attack perfectly, specially against heroes. Each kind with 1 basic and 1 reinforced unit. This synergy is getting strong if we mix it with Prosecutors, the key units to counter shooting units or supporting key heroes, usually counting with Special Assignment + Finest Hour + Bless Weapon, they become in a Air-to-Ground missile, that could survive if get the ward assigned by Sentinels of the Bleak Citadels ability, also supported by Longstrikes the synergy is always a blast. The list is taking also to the vigilors, a unit that will take more relevance due to his +1 at hit in melee attacks if they get damage on their targets.

An efficient mix. Congrats!
