Ok, so I've been watching a few matches of Blitz courtesy of the team at Shameless Mayhem on YouTube, such as this one: Now, don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed watching these matches. But they have got me thinking about what kind of team composition will work best for a mission like this one. So we're scoring after every turn, ok. That means that I can get uncontested wins through positioning, displacement or by taking down my opposite number. And there's bonus scoring for sending opposing Aristos to the infirmary. There's obvious value in the high mobility Aristos like Gata and Bixie, if only to have a chance to contest more distant Scoring Zones when your opponent selects them. If running Bixie then Hannibal might also make a strong complementary pick, for mobility out of activation. But with such a high premium on continually moving in order to successfully score, there's also a high value put on Ranged Strikers. Dart, Koorie Queen, Major Lunah and Wild Bill. Fast supports with solid damage output like Eclypse and Parvati likely also have value here. While I would typically favour aggressive mobile Aristos for this type of Scenario, like Mushashi and Valkyrie, the more I see them in play in these matches the less convinced I am that they are going to go well. I'm thinking of trying a team of: Dart, Gata, Koorie Queen and Eclypse What do you guys think?
I like killers who can also displace their targets on that particular scenario. I'm thinking of Murtair and shona Carano. With Hannibal, they both can do these attacks out of activation. And we can complete the team with hexxer to Gotcha opponent's team and displace them also.
