avatar popularity

[izikial]

So I'm interested to see how popular each avatar is, so anyone who is experianced with a master, let us know how often you like to play the avatar, is it a every game avatar, a situational avatar, or a never going to see use avatar, let us know.

A few I know of.
ARamos is playable when ever you take ramos
Atina can see some use, if the enamy has assasinate or something, and there a mostly melee crew
Aleviticus will bearly be used as liviticus is so deadly as he is, and you really want3-4 riders to make him work, witch is counter to his normal crew comp


So we have been doing this thread for about a week so I thought I'd gather the feelings of the comunity at the top of the thread hear so in faction order

Guild
Hoff, not really that strong, not bad either just isn't enough of an upgrade to pay for
Lady j, not that strong, situational at best.
Perdita not worth the points, you lose a lot of what made her work, nice modle though
Sonnia, always take

Ressers
Nicoderm, always take
sheamus, not bad, and often worth taking but not an auto include
Kiria, worth taking every game even if you don't manifest
Mcmourning, pritty good, and you can manifest quickly, often worth taking

Arcanist
Tina, not super strong, but oft worth taking as a contingency
Marcus, no
Rammos, every time
Collet, I don't actualy know

Never born
Dreamer, some say srong otheres don't like the lack of his old broken form, up to you
Lilith, worth taking not an easy manifest
Zoraider, worth taking but less mobile so make sure your in a good place
Pandora, imobial and killable by targeting candy, big disadvantages but she becomes an super turret, take acording to strat

Outcast
Vicks, hard manifest and a little suicidle but an absolute death machine, optional
Sommer, can be good always fun, works with gun line or pig spam
Leviticus, don't take it unless you make a crew to work with it, even then its iffy, you lose a good early game if you make a horseman crew, and a good later if you don't have horsemen
Hamlin, good, as long as your in a good position it will go well for you

As a Lilith player always if i have a spare two points

[Gruesome]

I include avatars for Nicodem, Seamus and McMourning by default now. Always. Occasionally McMourning and Nicodem have no manifested until turn 6, but the threat is still well worth the 2SS IMO.

[nilus]

I take ASonnia pretty much all the time
AJustice is only worth taking if you build a crew around her
APerdita is an awesome model, and I am enjoying painting her

[JisaacT]

I own Seamus's avatar and I don't auto include it unless I am matched up against the arcanists or the guild. I try to bring it because it is cool. But just depends on my strats.

aKirai I took when I had shared contain Power, besides that it's only really for fun I feel. Losing the summoning and spirit swirling is too much of a cost for another beat stick. Mcmourning is an awesome model and his manifesting pretty much seals the game so far in my experience

Seamus always brings it and as for Kirai, it's more autoinclude each time I play. Just today I had a horrible game against sonnia where I ended with only a shikome, 2 night terrors, lost love and kirai on the table and there was no point whatsoever to not just avatar and try to wreck some $$$$$$$$. Thanks to that I gave Sonnia the parting strike and made a complete 180º of the match since I was completing both my schemes and my opponent only did a hidden scheme, was unable to complete another and I had his slaughter strategy under control thanks to the avatar's kills. We left the game since he had to come to me if he wanted to break my advantage and I had more than enough activations to decide how things would pan out and frankly, between the damage bump aKirai got recently and the stupid amount of attacks she can make in a turn, she just doesn't have a problem utterly destroying a non tanky minion per activation.

Never ever underestimate the ability to change a playstyle of a master, specially when it goes from a passive supportish role to an agressive role.

This. I love aZoraida as she gives an incredibly flexible master another big tool (nuking the enemy with direct damage). She isn't necessarily better than Zoraida, but she plays different, and that gives me options,

[Bucket Monkey]

For my Avatars I tend to agree with Nilus, if I'm taking sonnia I will take the every time, for justice I generally take it, except in sone strategies like contain power and slaughter when i need the killing power of normal Justice, I've taken aPerdita once so far, she did ok, manefested but then got bogged down and eaten by a zombie hoard, ill probably just take her in the odd game here and there, I will probably take aHoffman most times once he is released, just as that end game melee option when your drawn to metal models are dead.

[Ozz]

I used to take Zoraida every game i played, as she has the same obey potential, just has a chance of doing it twice, and she has damage potential against non master models from silly range's Get her close and she can take on masters. But For something like objective gathering, treasure hunt, claim jump, anything you need to stay in place for or take a 2 interact action for and her repulsive + a stone is great for causing problems if you can set yourself up.

So in most cases Little Z? (avatar) upgrade is not always a bonus to use, but a good option to have, and so far i have always manifested her, and done well with her
Not had chance for using any other avatars yet though, but i shall im sure be testing some more shortly
