The Book of Seleena

[chas]

I can see why it would be awkward to make a rule including the few 'miscellaneous' units, but I'll probably house rule them as Hybrids too for NYCG4 games here at home. So I just thought I'd bring it up for discussion.

House rules are always fine (and fun ).

House rules aside, a Half-Elf is not an Elf or a Hybrid for game purposes.
The old maxim, do (or read) what the card says not what it doesn't say, would appear to apply.

At least, that is one man's opinion.

You can do that, of course, but that is not the intended thematic effect of any of the concerned cards.

Seleena also benefits from Laglor's Vydar's Range Enhancement Aura.

Is she supposed to be played as a filler/cleanup unit? I feel like she isn't cheap enough to toss randomly as a filler but isn't expensive enough to work in to an army strategy.

Also, is it just me, or does her sculpt look a bit strange? Her skin looks almost purple. Is that supposed to be the case?

It's probably just the lighting in the image. Everywhere else I see the unit her skin
appears to be brown.

It's the light, I have her and my fig is a brownish shade for her fur and I'd say a bluish grey for her clothes.

As a Hybrid, she can work in Werewolf Lord armies, bonding with Moon Frenzy around every other turn. Gives them a bit of range every now and again. 35 points is hardly unfair for that, IMO.

Ah, I see. That would be the niche that she takes advantage of right? On her own I'd rather have Isamu/Marcu or maybe Guilty.

But also consider Laglor boosts her to 9 range, she bonds with Command Courier, and if you attack her with a normal attack she blocks all damage ~55% of the time. In certain builds I'd include her even without a Werewolf Lord.

~Dysole, who thinks a WWL build is still probably her best use

[fireemblemrox]

I totally misread the acrobatic ability. That actually makes her quite handy! Definitely comparable to Guilty.

While playtesting, I had great fun with

Werewolf Lord x2: 280
Van Nessing: 105
Seleena: 35
Wolves of Badru x2: 160
Total: 580pts, 12 hexes.

You can be really aggressive with Pounce early on as you'll be looking to switch order markers to the Werewolf Lords in the middle of the game anyway.

Perhaps not the strongest army, but a lot of fun.
