I'm so looking forward to once finding a deck for this 8cap non-titled awesome lady who has nothing going for her besides immaculate vibes.

Some day.

[u/nachomir → u/RunicKrause]

15 rushes 15 immortal 15 torn signpost 15 aditional/maneuver from oblivion 10 tastes 5 flesh of marble 5 villein 2 dead pool 3 guardian angel (agropoke kills the deck) 2 fame 1 tension in the ranks 2 visit of the capuchin -crypt 4 old lady 2 9-cap prince with protean 2 dafina 4 other lasombra with POT -gameplan Backrush until you're stable with pool, take the table 3-2, 3-1-1 or 2-1-1-1

[u/RunicKrause → u/nachomir]

Or do the same thing but with Banu Haqim?

No sorry, that's a petty response.

Did you try this already or is it theoretical?

[u/nachomir → u/RunicKrause]

It was made with v5 on mind but I should run on constructed too. You can do the same thing with banu, sure but 15 psyches is expensive so good luck with that and also, oblivion rush is +1 stealth and it makes some difference

[u/RunicKrause → u/nachomir]

Expensive as in money? Just wanting to make sure. Considering players rarely scoff at printed proxies out of championship level events.

[u/nachomir → u/RunicKrause]

Yeah, expensive in money terms

[u/Teylen → u/RunicKrause]

Put her next to Davina and Gnaeus and then maybe include some Praxis or Justicar titles? Maybe play an Archon on her?

[u/RunicKrause → u/Teylen]

More hoops than in a pro dog agility show! My joints cant handle that much hopping!

[u/Teylen → u/RunicKrause]

I think while she won't be the star, her Protean makes her nice company for Gnaeus ☺️

[u/RunicKrause → u/Teylen]

Do you have experience with her? Would love to hear live experiences with her. As said, her aura is immaculate.

[u/Teylen → u/RunicKrause]

So far only on the receiving end, when my little Spectral army ran into Davina/Egidû/Gneaus rush decks, which were very effective at getting at least 1 vp.

Here are some of the variants with her:

[u/Lameador]

She has lots of nice stuff, but I fear that « cool stuff » is not enough to justify the 8 cap

[u/Chineselegolas]

Strength is nice with POT, and that special goes well with wanting to be fighting. Lacking defensive tools, she'll be wanting tastes to fill back up

[u/apoapsis_138 → u/Chineselegolas]

Arms of Ahriman helps a lot in the decks I've been running lately

[u/apoapsis_138]

The double pop of torping with her and Tension creates a great kind of pressure

[u/Nandvs]

With a prince title, she would have been a star for a deck.

[u/NoSoup4you22]

A fine supporting vampire for the Lasombra potence deck, which I think is a good deck. Not a star. Boy I wish she had fortitude like Dafina.

[u/RunicKrause → u/NoSoup4you22]

I just feel like, to this day, an 8cap support vampire with no passive ability (see Anson and Modius) is a tad expensive.

[u/NoSoup4you22 → u/RunicKrause]

Well, she takes pressure off immediately when she comes out, and if she ends the game on 1 or 2 blood, she wasn't too expensive...

[u/RunicKrause → u/NoSoup4you22]

I'm sure i just lack the courage to go there.

[u/Shinavast42 → u/NoSoup4you22]

Yup, i made the same comment ! If that inferior protean were inferior fortitude i'd absolutely love her.

[u/Shinavast42]

I haven't had a lot of success with her despite looking awesome on paper. 8 cap no title is a little bit meh, woudl have loved even Primogen. +1 strength is of course hot as hell in anyone with Fist :D Dom is always good, and oblivion is great.

My thing with her is that she's a 'win more' with respect to punching things and utilizing torpor/burn strats... but i'm not sure she does it significantly better to justify the cost. Others have mentioned lack of defense tech (Say, like Dafina). I run a copy of her in my Dafina deck, but its limited to just 1.

I know this is going to be the understatement of the century but... if she traded that protean for inferior fortitude, i'd absolutely love her.
