The Pariah- Malifaux Leveticus Tactica

 As a planned big push to cover all the crews I've got for Malifaux and actually play (and a bit of theory for me to work things out better in those crews) I'm starting to finish off Outcasts in terms of tacticas. I've decided to start with Leveticus, because his crew is somewhat straightforward but also because his new title and the ability to take the 4 Horsemen is something I am really excited for so I want to play around with that a lot more. 

Keyword abilities-

Entropy- A 3" aura where enemies activating take 1 damage, when it's on the whole crew you really don't want them to engage with you (but they will). This plays into what Leveticus and a lot of his keyword want to be doing, and is the best use for summoned Abominations that can then act as roadblocks that punish the opponent. 

Unmade- The offensive defence ability shared by almost all of the keyword, this is a Tome trigger on Df and Wp (built in on Leveticus and the Desolation Engine's Df) to deal 1 Irreducible damage to the attacker. Vengeance on Kirai's crew is amazing for this reason, and although Unmade costs resources and isn't passive it is much the same in how it punishes the opponent for attacking you even though they will want to. 

Withering Away- Another 3" aura, this one anti-healing which has a lot more applications than you would think. It stops a few Demise abilities, shuts down any Chronicle from happening and just not allowing healing is good in itself. In damage-based crews it just makes what you're doing that much more reliable and that alone is great. 

Desolate Warping- On all of your melee beaters there is the Tome trigger to summon a Slow Abomination in base contact when you kill models in melee which is really interesting because you can use it to feed your Desolation Engines, hunt weak models to potentially build up to a new one, or just use Abominations as roadblocks and pests to annoy the opponent. They do all have Necrotic Decay to boost their damage which is often more useful, but if something is on low enough wounds you can all but guarantee the kill this is always worthwhile

Necrotic Decay- The other trigger for the beaters, this one lets them deal damage to themselves to boost the damage they deal and is the main reason wounds on your crew are a big resource. With Servant of Dark Powers, and the built in healing on Death Touch, you can pretty safely use it to bring you closer and to guarantee kills on your enemy which is a big boon. If you can leverage it with healing it is very likely that the wound cost won't be a huge downside and work in your favour. 

Keyword models-

Leveticus- In general Leveticus is really simple and no-frills in how he works, especially in terms of his keyword. Unmade (built in on Df) and Entropy are as to be expected, but he can also heal models within 3" of enemy models that take damage from either of these abilities provided they are within 6" of Leveticus as well (basically making Entropy a much better version of Life Leech, and adds pseudo-reduction to Unmade). His stats are all very average, and with 10 wounds his Channel ability to suffer 2 Irreducible damage to gain Focused +1 it means he really wants healing and to avoid getting hit, although he can come back by using Waifs via his Demise ability which is really good to have. Although it isn't the really reliable respawns it used to be, and a lot of things can ignore Demise and thus turn it off, it still makes Leveticus a very hard model to actually put down and keep dead. 
In terms of attacks Leveticus isn't exactly high damage base, but he can do consistent damage and spike high enough at the cost of his own wounds. Stat 6 on his shooting (at 12" range as well vs Wp, both very nice things) and melee are both great, and 2/3/4 Irreducible is also good but it's his triggers that make both actions. At range he can stop the opponent from using Soulstones or Resistance Triggers on a Mask meaning he is far more likely to land damage, while on a Crow he gets Soulstones back when he kills them and both just make you more efficient and reliable at the job. His melee has Desolate Warping for some incidental summons, but Necrotic Decay is what makes him really great because having possibly 4/5/6 Irreducible damage (with somewhat reliable Focus) will tear through models very easily.
In terms of his tactical actions, his bonus action lets you look at the top 3 cards of the deck and discard any (at the cost of a wound for each discard) then also put them back in any order you choose. This means you can be super consistent with the damage you want to deal and you know when you can best use Necrotic Decay or Desolate Warping to get the most benefit. Essence Transfer is also very interesting, because for a 4 you can pull 4 wounds off of one model (or if it has less than 4 its current wounds) and put them onto another model within range. At range 12 you can pretty reliably make sure most models are in range, and it keeps your value models topped up. 

Leveticus, Pariah of Blood- The new Title version of Leveticus, the big thing is that he is now a Horseman and as such is Mv7 and Ht3 with Unimpeded. He can't spend his own wounds in any way unlike the original version, and he loses his Demise ability and Unmade but he does have Hard to Wound, Df6 and an extra 2 wounds anyway which will help a lot, and Entropy is a bit of a deterrent against melee models as well even without having the option to heal things at the same time. Leveticus doesn't generate Fate Tokens like other Horsemen, but he gains them when friendly models either die or spend their own Fate Tokens so he gets a lot out of taking Horsemen with him (and if you're taking this version of Levi, you are). He has to spend 2 to get a single suit unlike the Riders, but he does also have the option of spending Soulstones so it's easier for him to get suits anyway. The big thing to note on his front of card is that he doesn't get access to anything that isn't Amalgam, Horseman or Versatile meaning his crew building is a bit more restricted but you have more than enough great models to use anyway so this is really only stopping those who would piece together the strongest OOK crew and is far from making him actually bad.   Unlike the other Riders he lacks Ride With Me, but as a master he's quicker anyway, and he has some other very interesting actions to play around with that will help a lot in game. Dispel Magic for condition removal is always good and is really just important to have in a crew, plus the 2 triggers on it for healing 2 or a Pass Token are both excellent. His melee attack is fairly simple 2/4/5 vs Wp and 1" range, but with a trigger on every suit and being able to declare as many of them as you choose is what really makes it, with each one stacking up as well with multiple of the same suit. Tomes are enemy only, but card draw is great to have, Clear the Way shoves things around a great amount on Masks letting you set up your own models or put enemies into places where you want them to be (and the opponent doesn't), Rejuvenate healing Leveticus on Rams is great but especially relevant into things like Assassinate where the opponent wants him dead, and Crows for Severe Injury sets up a lot of other things in the crew in a few different ways (reduced stats is the main one, but Waifs being able to pop things as well). Soul Harvest can hurt a lot of enemy models for low damage, but it does have no resistances so it's great to ping down crews with large amounts of reduction because it bypasses most defences and can stack up quickly. The triggers are both good as well with the ability to kill one of your own Amalgam Minions (which will mainly be Waifs and Abominations) for cards is great especially if you are summoning them, while the Mask trigger gives you a ton of extra movement that is great for getting things into position for them to do more work later on. His bonus action is very interesting because it works in a lot of ways, but the main point of it is to pull a single Fate Token off of one Rider and put it on another (or Leveticus himself, but that's lower value IMO). Leveticus also gains one in the process because the cost is for a Horseman to discard a token, and a 5 is really easy to move it around and make sure you can hit some of the better triggers early on in the game (you can get to 5 suit triggers on 2 models on turn 2 with the right cards). The Crow trigger to summon an Abomination or Hollow Waif is really good to have because it's such an easy summon, and Masks to take it again gets a bit extra efficiency and put it out where you want Fate Tokens to get the most benefit (pushing Pale and Hooded to their late-game triggers earlier is the best use IMO)

Hollow Waif- Levi's totems, depending on which version you're using they have entirely different applications. With the original Leveticus they are his respawn points, and you need to keep them safe to make sure he gets to return if he's killed but also make sure they will be in points where Levi can actually get back into the action fairly easily if/when he dies. With the Pariah of Blood however, Waifs become entirely expendable and there are a few different uses for them. The first is for Levi to kill them for cards via Soul Harvest, but what you will use more often is a sort of Injured subtheme where they become similar to Stolen in Hamelin or the Zombie Chihuahua and doing big spike damage on enemies with stacked up conditions. 

Rusty Alyce- The keyword's main ranged piece, Alyce is really quite good at it although she is very slow now. Df5 and Wp6 are decent as is 9 wounds at cost 9, especially factoring in Unmade and Armour +1, and Entropy is as can be expected. Rapid Fire is what keeps her as a shooting piece giving her an extra shot at the cost of a card which is great to have, especially with her gun. At stat 6 vs Df and 12" range she is somewhat consistent, although with no positives built in suffers vs Concealment and various defensive abilities (much like Mad Dog though, who is also very high damage at range). 3/4/5 and ignoring Hard to Wound makes for easier ability to hit higher damage, and Execute cuts through opponent's resources with the threat of outright killing them (or does just outright kill). Her melee is nothing special, but if she does get engaged it isn't terrible and Injured is quite good especially built in. Her bonus actions are both useful, with Aetheric Healing being a nice heal that you can use to either just keep her alive or to fuel Leveticus moving wounds around the table and keep other models going as well, while Create Trap is fairly easy to create zones that deter opponent's from engaging your own models unless you want them to. On a model that doesn't want to engage like Alyce it's very good to have. 

Ashes and Dust- A model that has long been a bit of a boogeyman in terms of what it does, Ashes currently is still an excellent 9SS Enforcer but not without weaknesses. 6s  for Df and Wp and 7 Mv are all as good as you could possibly ask for, especially because Ashes ignores terrain and models for movement and Hazardous Terrain doesn't affect it so you will easily be able to get where you want to. Entropy and Unmade are both standard, and Nihilism can eat cards but it helps to keep him unaffected by conditions when they would hurt you (Slow and damage conditions in particular). 8 wounds is ok, but then you look at his Demise and what the Ashen Core and Dust Storm do (which I've written below) and you have a model that isn't quite as efficient as Demise:Eternal but is still hard to put down unless you focus it and/or ignore Demise abilities. With this said, given what Leveticus does you are likely to see things that can get around Demise (mostly vs Ten Thunders and Resurrectionists) and you will want to either hide from them or focus them down and kill them as quickly as possible before they can counter you. Ashes' melee is good but not amazing, although Desolate Warping and Necrotic Decay help you do exactly what you want to be doing in the crew and with Necrotic Decay you would never get any higher than 2/4/5 damage anyway for balance reasons. Like the Wind is a good way to move Ashes out of engagements, and even possibly reach things you couldn't have before for a little bit of threat extension. Speaking of threat extension, if there are Scrap markers on the table (Mei Feng in particular) Whirlwind of Scrap not only gives you a free 12" move on a 7 which is insanely good, if you also move through other Scrap you will trigger Savage Winds and can deal 1 damage to any model you move through if you remove a Scrap (which is almost always pure benefit for you). Draw Essence is potentially ok, but I prefer Ashes to be hunting isolated scheme runners and working around the edges of the enemy crew where he it is easier to reform if he does die. 

Ashen Core and Dust Storm- The summons created when Ashes and Dust dies, they create a fun little mini-game in the attempt to combine again. The Core can't move, so you have to make sure the Dust Storm can reach it and be able to reform again (although the Storm is very quick) and really the Storm will spend any AP it has to get to the Core because you want Ashes and Dust not the 2 separate. Neither of them are particularly easy to kill, although if something ignores the armour on the Core it's game over because with Df1 and no other defensive tech it will die so you will have to keep it safe. 

Marlena Webster- An enforcer that acts as more of a defensive lynchpin of the crew, Marlena is a model that wants to be in the middle of the action and can do a decent amount while she's there. She does lack both Entropy and Unmade which is very important to keep in mind, but she does have Withering Away to link her to the rest of the keyword, plus Armour +1 and Df6 defensively on top of her 8 wounds which is great. Her Df trigger on a Mask will keep her safe while also doing some damage to the opponent (and it's also After Resolving, so she can always do it as long as she gets a Mask) and she has a bit of anti-scheming with Steadfast Protector to do a not-Charge against any models that Interact within 6" so she can stop them from doing more to score points against you. Her big boon is Soul Tether, a 6" aura that lets her pull a single damage off any non-Minion within range and put it on herself. She can do it on any damage, even Irreducible, and although you're really just moving it you're helping the rest of the crew by keeping them further from death. Her attacks are fairly average for the keyword, and her bonus action heal helps keep her standing while she uses her own wounds to defend the rest of the crew while also giving a bit of card draw built-in. It isn't massive, but you will definitely be using her heal most of the game. 

Soul Battery- I talked about this model a bit with the title for Jakob Lynch as is linked, and I touched on how I think about it with regards to Leveticus there. It's 4SS significant which is great, and it gives some extra bonuses to the crew with regards to using Soulstones and Cheating Fate (always nice to have) but the main thing is being able to give your own Riders extra Fate Tokens which is massive. The efficiency it brings the crew means I am strongly considering it all the time with the 4 Horsemen (leaving you with 2 Soulstones to use in game, which is low but you don't need too many anyway). 

Desolation Engine- As far as 10SS beater minions go these are probably the most fragile in the entire game with Df3, but otherwise they have pretty good stats on their front of card, and they have some ok defences in Terrifying 12 and Hard to Wound. Unmade built in and Entropy are fairly standard, while Flurry just shows how they are supposed to be melee models above all else, and their melee is pretty good as well. With Necrotic Decay built in to boost their damage to 3/5/6 or even 4/6/7, but also Consuming Touch for a nice heal to keep them going, and they also have Desolate Warping as a trigger which with their bonus action is actually the highest potential healing they can get (especially when you have Servant of Dark Powers as well). Draw Essence will mostly eat cards from your opponent but it's an option if the Engine gets swarmed, although I don't really think that's a good option as opposed to just hitting them most of the time. Desolation Engines in general aren't really great considering the other amazing beater options in keyword, but they are definitely a lot of fun to use

Scavenger- Not the greatest in terms of raw stats, but Scavengers are pretty good utility models even after their 2021 nerf. They have 2 decent attacks, and Armor in combination with Unmade is pretty good but there is really 2 applications that make them great- Tools for the Job and Weird Device. Tools lets you pick cards off the top of the discard pile and then discard a card to gain that suit until the end phase (so if you pitch a Tome you get built in Unmade) but in general it has a lot of uses- giving you your choice of triggers for the whole activation even with weak cards, and for putting high cards back in your hand after you've used them. Weird Device needs a 7 normally (5 if on Amalgam minions) and gives Focused +1 to any model within 6". It's simple, but the triggers are what makes it even better as they can do a huge amount (heal 2 or push 4" on the target, draw a card or remove a marker) and all will have uses in most games if not all of them. In current games I would only find myself taking 1 Scavenger I think, unless its in a double Deso Engine list where I would take 2 Scavengers to support both Engines. 

Necropunk- As the scheme runners of the Amalgam keyword, and they are excellent at it. 5SS and with a pretty poor statline, they do however have 6 wounds, Hard to Wound and Armour to make up for the weaker defensive stats. Their melee is ok but not really what they want to be doing, and what they want to be doing is using Leap and making Interacts to score you points. It's a simple job, but they do it well enough you will usually want at least one in the crew. 

Abomination- These minions are pretty much roadblocks, but they're not bad at it. 4SS significant with all the stats you could expect (that is to say, not good) but they do have some decent abilities on them to help their job. Withering Away and Entropy means when you get near models they aren't going to have a good time of it, while Unmade and Hard to Wound means they're annoying to actually take out when they get there. Their melee attack is not good, but for a 4SS model you can't really expect much and they have 2 good built in triggers which is nice, and being able to give out Injured at range and also heal on their bonus action is very good as well. They can combine with 2 other Abominations within 2" for an AP to become a Desolation Engine which is a really good way to get one in the crew especially if they are all summoned, and this is the main goal I think because that is a very good outcome. With a few ways to summon them in keyword they're important, but not mandatory as you will likely not hire them

The 4 Horsemen- Pariah of Blood also has the Horseman keyword as I mentioned above, and so they really should just be a separate section on their own. I think it really comes down to which Riders do you take when you only take 1 or 2 (if you're taking 3, just take all 4 IMO) and I would probably rate them in the following order

1- Pale Rider- Out of all the Riders this one is probably the most tuned into reliable damage and will dominate a big section of the board which is great to have. It has 4" extra range up on the Mechanical Rider and the Ram trigger on the Rifle is excellent especially when you can combine it with Hollow Waifs to capitalise on the Injured in big ways. The bonus action, although not as immediately great as the Mechanical Rider's, is great just because it's quite a lot of ping healing and even though Pariah of Blood doesn't spend his own wounds there are still other things in the keyword that can and healing is good in general anyway, without even considering the triggers. Shielded +2 is great, especially when also removing Injured if that matters, but Devastation is a good way of dealing damage and especially Hatred Unleashed with all 4 Horsemen because that can wipe out most models if you can manage to get more than one Rider into combat with them and land hits. 

2- Mechanical Rider- The most versatile Rider, but also the one that can turn games the quickest with it's 5 Tome trigger. Although it's gotten a nerf in not being able to reactivate Riders (which is more applicable the less Riders you have, and of very little value with all 4) it is still excellent on the right models and can be game winning all on its own. It does good damage and is quick on its own as well, with the Mech Rider being your main scheme runner if you take all 4 Horsemen but also just another excellent one otherwise. Revel in Creation is just free markers and you can use Scheme and Corpse especially with the other Riders. Insight and Innovation can both help in huge ways with the other Riders, giving them the suits they need to do the things they want to do on their triggers and at lower cost (you can do Innovation every turn after the first and play Mech as more of a support piece for the other Riders this way)

3/4- Dead and Hooded Rider- The 2 min 3 beaters, you would think I would be promoting these first but they lose a lot of range being melee-only models and they don't have as much game-affecting ability with their bonus actions until right at the end, where the Mechanical and Pale Rider are still amazing as well. Blasts on the Hooded's melee and positives to damage are both excellent especially together (and in combination with the Pale Rider) while Reap on the Dead Rider to pull things where you want them and also get extra movement on the Dead Rider are both great, while their bonus actions both have interesting applications but neither work immediately. A 6" pulse of Injured to all enemies is huge and combos with Waifs well, while Revel in Secrets needs a little bit of setup but can give you a certain degree more control over your opponent as you can better guess their plans. Both 3 suit triggers are ok but I would rather save the tokens for later in the game, as a single free attack from the Dead Rider is ok and moving your other models around with the Hooded is nice but they aren't as worthwhile as the huge amounts of versatility the later actions bring. Malifaux's Revolt on 4 Masks with the Hooded is a huge bubble of Hazardous terrain which is really nice to have for board control, and Moonlit Charge to kick off an activation for 5 Masks is just excellent and will hurt the enemy crew a lot with the positives to the damage flip on every attack. With the Dead Rider, the 4 Crow trigger to summon Mindless Zombies isn't as great as it would be in Resurrectionists because you can't guarantee the 5 Zombies like Ressers can, although it can still be good to create roadblocks for the opponent outside of Abominations, but Soulfire will be massive if you're playing against the right opponent (it single-handedly destroys Hamelin) or if you have enough weaker enemies on the table to finish off. The 1-2 punch between Moonlit Charge and Soulfire is potentially ruining to any crew, and bubbles will have to play very carefully to avoid this while also managing the other Riders. 

OOK/Versatile models-

Prospector- ol' faithful for me, it schemes and it gives more Soulstones. Both are always good to have and it helps Leveticus with damage reduction and not dying unless you say so.

Mad Dog Brackett- There are a lot of people that call for taking Mad Dog OOK almost always, but Amalgam is already such a damage-heavy keyword that I wouldn't reach for him unless I knew I would really need to destroy terrain.

Effigy/Emissary- Both bring healing, and with Leveticus wanting to spend his own wounds to gain attack buffs (also Ashes and Deso) having reliable heals on a model that also helps the scheming game is really great to have



Upgrades-

Wanted Criminal- Not a bad take, but mostly a bit of a meme in Amalgam. Disguised on Desolation Engines is hilarious but otherwise I think you're better off without it

Servant of Dark Powers- 2 Desolation Engines both with Servant is probably the funniest thing you can run in Amalgam, but it also isn't really great. Leveticus loves having Servant on him for the heals and Herald too

Soldier for Hire- Hard to Kill is always good to have but I don't think it's super mandatory in Amalgam crews

Deployments-

Amalgam in general have a few ways to get up the table, be it Leap, Ride With Me or Herald from Servant of Dark Powers (and Ashes and Dust being quick) so most deployments you should be ok. Corner and Flank give you really wide board edges and Necropunks and Ashes really want to play with those so you can do some work there, although it gives a bit less board control in terms of reaching things to melee

Strategies-

Reckoning- As a high-damage crew Amalgam are really great at this. Just so long as you can keep them alive for long enough to out score the opponent you'll be fine

Turf War- Same thing as Reckoning, but you also have the mobility to hit the deep markers and put a lot of pressure on the opponent

Corrupted Idols/Plant Explosives- Tilting a little bit from what you have above, but with Ashes and Dust and Necropunks you have plenty of mobility in the keyword (even more with the Riders) and can easily get where you need to go

Schemes-

Detonate Charges- Good combo with some other schemes, and dogpiling enemy models is never a bad idea for Leveticus but it needs really precise placement and can only be done through normal Interact actions so is tough to pull off

Breakthrough- With only a single Necropunk slipping through this is done, and with more it's even easier

Harness the Ley Line- Its pretty good, and you can do it easily but you also have to consider what your other scheme is because it can force you to dedicate AP into the middle of the table where your other scheme might not need you to be

Search the Ruins- This is really easy because of how the crew can spread out so I would pick this fairly often

Dig Their Graves- It's ok, but with no ways to get easy scheme markers into engagement without the Emissary I think it's something you will have to play very carefully to get maximum value out of. The 2nd point is also a lot harder to get because of attrition

Hold Up Their Forces- Leveticus has access to a lot of expensive models, and it is very likely the opponent will have easy VP from this scheme. With that in mind I ideally wouldn't take Leveticus here, but the models he does have can fairly reliably kill to deny it even if I wouldn't take it to score from (unless I was also taking Deliver a Message)

Take Prisoner- If there is a weak enough enemy model you can afford to keep alive all game this is pretty achievable, but it will likely restrict your movement in a few ways so that's important to keep in mind as well

Power Ritual- As usual, I would never take it in Wedge or Standard deployment but it does have good game into Wedge and Flank

Outflank- If you put Ashes and Necropunks (or even 2 Riders) this is about the most reliable you can do it. Ashes here is almost guaranteed to come back as well making the game even harder for the opponent so at least one flank is safe

Assassinate- A very big double-edged sword, I would personally lean towards not taking Leveticus here although he can do alright. It is a very easy thing for the opponent to choose against you and get at least one point, but you also have a lot of damage to dish out

Deliver a Message- It's not difficult to achieve, but a lot of the time Amalgam crews want to just kill an enemy Master more than leave them alive. It's a big tradeoff but if you're playing for a 6VP game forgetting End points this is a great take. 

Claim Jump- Not bad, but not great either. If you can put Rusty Alyce here and keep her unengaged this is a dream scenario, but still not that likely to happen because they will want to keep her engaged even when you’re trying hard not to make it happen

Vendetta- With a lot of high-cost priority targets and no great lower-cost damage dealers this is a bit more of a struggle. If there are some 10SS models that are more fragile on the table I would go for it and blast them away with Alyce, but otherwise it isn’t really that great

GG1

Strategies- 

Symbols of Authority- Send a couple Necropunks at the Symbols, or Ashes, and you can very easily get your points from it

Recover Evidence- Send the killers in to force drop markers and the schemers to pick them up. Pretty simple

Corrupted Ley Lines- A little bit harder because some of your best movement (Necropunks) lose the ability to Leap with this, but Leveticus still has a ton of options for scoring it. With the choice of 6 different Mv7 models in keyword almost all of which have possible extra movement on a bonus action (Pariah Levi, Ashes and the Riders) this is super easy to do and none of them are particularly easy to kill. 

Public Enemies- Slightly harder than Reckoning is, but not massively so and you'll play it exactly the same. 

Schemes-

Breakthrough, Take Prisoner, Vendetta, Assassinate, Claim Jump- Nothing changed here, so my points from above are still my opinion on them. 

Hidden Martyrs- There aren't really great combinations of things to choose from because the only really valid combinations are 2 Minions that aren't really hard to focus on, and the majority of the keyword is 9SS+ 

Sabotage- Not a bad choice because you can just fling the crew at it and you should be able to get there by turn 3/4

Catch and Release- This one isn't the easiest, but it isn't always a bad choice either. Being friendly Minion only you're almost definitely using a Necropunk for it because it can get in and out fairly reliably and is somewhat more difficult to kill

Let Them Bleed- Not a bad choice, because you want to be killing things and this supports that. You do have to be careful of burning through your own wounds though because it is a really easy choice of scheme against Leveticus as well

Leave Your Mark- Not really difficult, but also not difficult to counter. I don't rate it very highly because I prefer my scheme runners to be working on the flanks, but you could go for it

Research Mission- I wouldn't recommend it because you can't really get non-scheme markers out in a great number with reliability (although you can, you have to hire and plan very specifically for it)

Spread Them Out- With the speed in the crew this is pretty trivial honestly

Runic Binding- While not easy necessarily, it is still achievable depending on the opponent. I wouldn't take it because you don't really have any ways to make it easier to score if the opponent doesn't let you do it

GG2

Strategies-

Symbols of Authority, Corrupted Ley Lines- Same as in GG1, my thoughts are the same.

Turf War- Same as it used to be, same opinion as before

Break the Line- Not too difficult because you can move things to them quickly and there are a lot of ways to double move a marker in a single activation between Riders and Necropunks

Schemes-

Breakthrough, Vendetta, Assassinate, Hidden Martyrs, Research Mission, Let Them Bleed, Catch and Release, Spread Them Out- These are all very much the same as before and I wouldn't change how I play them now.

Detonate Charges, Claim Jump- They’re the same as GG0, same as my thoughts there.

Death Beds-  You can do it, but at the same time you're relying on either your previous kills, Rusty Alyce or the opponent so it isn't something I would really take
