The Juggernaut Strategy

It might not be a bad strategy, IMO.

It's not a bad strategy. But the way it's phrased in the OP is not what I said. He didn't mention a bonding squad, and he didn't mention the targets for spirits that make the most use out of them.

I'll bring up the FaT bomb strategy real quick, since it touches on this and isn't mentioned here yet.

It involves using Theracus to fly Finn into the opponent's start zone, and attacking the opponent's most valuable piece with a boosted Theracus until he dies. Once he does, the KoW activate Finn, who rampages around the starting zone and ties down important figures. If they kill him, his spirit goes on the Krav. If they don't, you can keep bonding with him and getting in the way while the KoW move up.

I went 4-1 with this army using that strategy a couple years ago....

Finn - 80
Thorgrim - 160
Eldgrim - 190
KoW x3 - 400
Krav Maga Agents - 500
Theracus - 540, 20 hexes

Well met!

I don't know about the others, but my portion of this conversation was informed by all the Theracus Bombing posts in the past, including yours. Being the rebel that I am, I've sought to find one not previously listed, thus my focus on the Warhulk.

For Migol, I would like being short. Less range could hurt me that way, in theory. I tend to think of the juggernaut as big too. Krug would be awesome with extra defense, especially if he already had a hit or two on him to boost his attack.

I think Cyprien or a Hydra would be the best Juggernauts. Think about it - A Hydra with 6 move, 5 attack (with a potential 4 attacks per turn), and 7 defense. Deadly.

I think it'd be fun to try Isamu as the Juggernaut! He's pretty great already, and with the added stats he'd be even better (as long as you don't whiff, of course).

The best Juggernaut is Krug. Send Krug into the middle of the enemy and engage his valuable figures. If they attack Krug, let Krug rip them to pieces. If they don't, use your ranged figures to put a couple of wounds on your own Krug.

Often, adding in a KoW helps get the Vikings into the fray with better OM management. As well, with the vikings + KoW, the threat is higher, and your opponent is more likely to deal with the vikings to reduce the threat and help you boost the hero.

Adding several of the KoW will also help protect your Base/Starting Area since if you only move out 1 squad you will still have 1 or 2 squads in defence when your opponent pops over thinking to get some easy kills.
