Coming up at the top of the hour? Its Aristeia 99 featuring Bixie! She is expert mode for the Hexagon, are you ready? Note: I put Bixie LAST of the set Human Fate set.. then did BOTH Double Trouble videos first... she is NOT a beginner friendly character.
lol, hardly :-P But it's funny because you are right, she IS a very complex character to use, but yet can still be explained to (and used by) someone totally unexperienced in Aristeia! I think it speaks to the underlying simplicity of the game, and its robust nature.
Stuck at home? Well, you're in luck! Aristeia 99 is featuring Oberon today! Maintain social distancing with the Legendary Bahadur!
This week it is FINAL BOSS! No, no, its not Hellboy's better looking, smelling, and more capable brother (but you'd be forgiven for thinking that), but its the "leader" of the Legendary Bahadurs!
I picked him in my intial 4 for the league organised by @HarlequinOfDeath I want to learn how I can best use him with 4 initiative, 4 movement points and almost 4 energy points lol. Thank you @Chikahiro
Have fun with the league play! :) Is there any particular scenario you'll be using? IIRC he's considered more of a close-range Control character, but could be wrong. Swim Move will be key to maximizing his movement while minimizing energy spent. Think of it as a more conditional version of Gata's Freerunning. Since it works off of Stun, Dazzle, and Immobilize, then you'll benefit from having at least one other teammate who can hand one of those out. He can put out Stun and Dazzle himself, but its better if he's set up for rather than setting up for himself. Kipahuligan used that to great effect in games we've had :) I'd think Laxmee (Stun + Focus via Buffer/DeBuffer) and Hannibal (Programmed Strategy, Pointman, Coordinated Assalut) would pair well with him. Don't know if you'd necessarily want BOTH of them, but there you go. I'm a big fan of Valkyrie (Immobilize), but then there's also Hexxer (Gotcha, Vade Retro). You can get +Initiative in different ways (Hippolyta, Bachman taking it from someone else), and an enemy who has been KO'd doesn't go so you win that initiative (not reliable, but hey). Re-ordering with Hannibal or Taowu is an option maybe once a match. Escorting him might not be a bad idea (Maximus) or having other options with him (Kozmo). I guess the thing is "what role do you want him to be playing?" I don't see him as a solo character but as a team player. He's not Musashi or Wild Bill (or Max or Valkyrie), so that needs to be accounted for. Might be worth starting a thread in the Legendary Bahadur forum? https://forum.corvusbelli.com/forums/legendary-bahadurs.165/
The problem I see with his 4 points of movement, and the "kind of Gata" swim, is that his agility is not as good as Gata's one, just as you mentioned in your video (which is super cool, even we the equipment you used for it). So I think he can use it on obstacles so that it's easier for him, and so on Ziggurats scenario it's easy to go anywhere. I see him also as a state putter... I mean, dazzled state is really bothering shooter, or even Hammerhead. And HH is specially played in ziggurats scenario. And Stunned is really good on any character of the opponent, and as you said, when comboed with I-Kohl, you're almost invicible lol. I like the idea of throwing minions to replace them... and bother the opponent's advance. Just like with Gorgoneions from Gaia. Regarding Chimera Ram, I don't know if we can do Face meet fist at any moment, or if it's at the end of the 4 displacement steps. Thank you for all the work you do around Aristeia. Your videos are really appreciated.
To be honest, Gata's ability is better but she pays a heavy price for it in that she has no offense except Contender and has to be 1:1 for Misdirection. I think improving Final Boss's Swim Move to be on par with her would be a little too good. I agree with him being a controlling factor via handing out states. And he makes use of them, so I like the synergy potential (set up and incidental). While maybe not the best use of throwing minions, you could place two friendly minions side-by-side, which is not allowed by their deploying controller. Hexxer would be better for this, but in a pinch... And you're welcome! The production on these will be a little weird since I'm having to record from home again. Finding quiet time can be a little challenging!
