Q9 COUNTER!!!

TyG17 · #1 December 13th, 2006, 12:33 AM

Ok, I for one dont like the idea of Q9 owning everyone (especially since i dont own one.) Also the fact that the only 4 armies with Q9 in it took 1-4 in the Cinci tourney. I think we need to come up with Q9 counters...

any suggestions?

not very effective, but you could go with Morsbane or Sudema....

Carr backed by Theracus or Brunak perhaps... Just to night I wasted Q9 with Carr just by being able to get to higher ground...

Has anyone tried Jotun, I tell ya' he works wonders against high defense units. He'll also be able to stay alive long enough to kill them with 4 defense and 7 life. (This is a pretty obvious option but it works... unless Q9 is on a castle.)

I dont own RV so i wouldnt be able to field a Jotun against Q9 i cant find TT or RV anywhere around here...

What about the minions? I always liked them just didnt like the move they had. I would think their DEF would hold out long enough for them to close in.

The Minions and the Sentinals could pretty much both survive long enough, so I suppoe that is another option.

Q9 armies did well because not many armies in the Tournament had good Q9 counters:

-Krug
-Nilfheim
-Minions
-Wolves
-Jotun

All of these units are very good vs Q9 yet not many armies fielded these units. (I still say the Krav are good vs Q9 even with his special attack since 50% of his rolls with only 1 die should come up blank)

Had the same problem myself... ended up just getting it from the Hasbro shopping site...

Heh, you would think that wouldn't you... I can't even count how many times I've had him drop 2 of them in one turn ('course I can't roll worth a crap most of the time....)

I got my RV and 2 sets of TT of Hasbrotoyshop.com I'm glad I did or else I wouldn't have TT right now.

Two words:

Krug.

(I know it's only one word, but you go argue about it w/him.)

Manuever all around him and make him not be able to see you cause of shoulders. engage him so he can't turn around. i dunno, he's not as effective in the games i play. perhaps cause he gets DW rolls a lot. Masses of squad shots at him usually make one go through. He doesn't bond with any guys which really can hurt him in tournaments. I used him in my tournament and finished second, so he's not too bad. I just like guys that work real well together.

He can still turn around if you engage him.
