Seamus & co. vs. I2I?

[SpiralngCadavr]

So, I'm looking at an entirely I2I crew (Hoffman) in my first Seamus game. So, Lure can still be used to speed up or pull back for various positioning abilities, but is there something else I'm missing, or is Seamus just not going to be on his "A" game?

Also, it seems like an Onryo would be good in larger games (fit decently thematically, strips defenses), are these a given?

Its worth noting that I2I does not help against terrifying. But you are running constructs so that is a null point.

Crazy, I would have assumed it did. Well, good to know for the future, anyways. Thanks!

Yeah because I2I is only when defending. Terrifying checks do not have an attacker or defender

Hmm, I take it, that's a "not really"?

If you want the focus of your army to be fear, it can still be done. Try the carrion effigy. Hes worked well for me in the past, with removing those immunities and sniping from afar. I've found it a perfect fit for Seamus due to his lack of summoning focus.

So if you are going the terror route keep focusing on your strengths, don't try to make up for your weaknesses. Canines, Hanged, and Desperate Mercs all help with fear, out activating, and putting as many corpse tokens out on the field.

Just as a side note: Even if you used Carrion Effigy to strip immunities from Constructs, Terryfying still won't start affecting them. Tricky that one, but it also applies to Undead, Nightmares and other non-living.

I2I? Did I miss a memo somewhere?

Immune to influence. And shoot Hoffman with undead psychosis when he is not I2I. Getc a crow or two and stop those constructs from coming near.
