This is a neater way of storing my playtests for my customs that I want other people to be able to see. I mostly intend on posting about units that I'd like to submit to the SoV.
1. Eltris with Zelrig
Posted December 10th, 2018 at 05:46 PM by Astroking112
I realized that since I now have a place to share my playtest reports, I should probably upload all of the ones that I have written for Eltris so far. Incoming playtest dump, I guess.
Vulxinla (Glyph of Thorian, two Treasure Glyphs)
Army 1: Zelrig, Eltris, Nhah Scirh x3 (490)
Army 2: Gilbert, Knights x2, 4th Mass. x2, Alastair (495)
Current Version of Unit:
Game Summary:
Remaining Figures:
Sir Gilbert (with 4 wounds), Alastair MacDirk (no wounds), 4 Knights of Weston
~215 points left
Usefulness of Abilities:
Eltris felt like a massive help to Zelrig, making him far more survivable. He often blocked attacks by just a single shield, making her feel very important to him. Once she died and he dropped down to 4 defense, his remaining lives were cut down very quickly (albeit, they were already swarmed by knights and Sir Gilbert at that point).
Similarly, the extra attack die felt very useful, since it gave him a strong single-target option, especially against heroes. Since his nature encourages opponents to spread out their forces, he greatly appreciated the added lethality to isolated targets.
Eltris also served as a great meat shield, distracting the opponents from attacking Zelrig at every opportunity, especially after he proved to be so difficult to wound at 5 defense (and had just healed back to full health with the potion). It provided an interesting new layer on top of using Zelrig normally by forcing the player to consider where she should be placed in order to best protect her, while the opponent had to consider how to best reach her.
Additional Comments:
The Nhah Scirh cultists thoroughly underwhelmed in this game. They suffered from very poor luck (I think that they only successfully defended against a knight once in the entire game) and failed to kill anything. With a little bit more luck on their side, the game probably would’ve been much closer.
