Guest Article: Legion Analysis - Vayl, Consul of Everblight

Brush for Rent

            I'm going to start doing some detailed analysis articles on several casters, particularly ones I've played quite extensively, and briefly talk about the tier lists associated with said casters, though it is more focused on them.  The first one is the Legion of Everblight's Ice Queen, Vayl, Consul of Everblight.  Also known as eVayl, she is one of Legion's most dangerous casters.  Her stats are average for Legion, with an average SPD for the faction, and a good RAT.  However her DEF and ARM stats are terrible, and she can't take a hit very well, if at all.  She's still a Fury 8 caster, so expect a lot of beasts to be run with her.  It's not uncommon to see 3-4 heavy warbeasts in her entourage, though always be aware of the fury she's throwing around.  Unlike her prime counterpart, she is a Gunfighter, which means if something terrible has gone wrong and she's in melee, she can defend herself....just pray their armor is awful, or you're dead.  eVayl also has Quick Draw, which won't come up often but if it does, it can stop a critical shot from being taken.  Her final special ability is Serenity, and is another layer of fury management on top of what Legion already has in their arsenal of fury management.

Legendary Kreoss - Some musings

So the new Menoth caster is coming to town - and he's on a horse! And he gives bonuses to the Menite horsies. So yay for them? Being the Menoth fan I am, a new caster is of course an exciting proposition so I've been devouring the information we have in relation to Legendary Kreoss, 3Kreoss, 3oss, Kr3oss, Kreoss3 or whatever else you're taking to calling him. Let's see what he can do and what this might lead to.

His base stats are a slight improvement upon prior versions of Kreoss but still lacks the survivability of say eFeora - not uncommon for Menoth. With a large base this means Kreoss is pretty vulnerable to ranged attacks and being on a large base (I assume as other cavalry are on large bases), not much is going to protect him from this. His SPD is obviously greatly increased due to being on a horse and despite not getting weapon master he does have signs & portents which he gives to Exemplar Vengers as well (this includes their Mounts) making charges with Kr3oss and Vengers quite reliable and powerful.

The Old Witch of Khador

Sorry this took so long to get out guys.

By request I am going to be doing todays piece on The Old Witch and Scrapjack. This is going to be a two or three part piece depending on how prolific I feel like being.

I love the Old Witch for a great many reasons. She is an extremely interesting caster due to both play style and how that play style interacts within her faction.

Now I'm going to assume that you, the reader, is aware of what the Old Witch has on her card and her spell card and I'm going to review what I consider the more important abilities and how to use them effectivly.
