The Book of Agent Skahen
The Book of Agent Skahen 2008 Promotional Figure Link to pdf of Agent Skahen card. Thanks to Lonewolf for getting the card image up (before I even have my Agent Skahen!) Please use his thread for super excited happiness posts, and let's keep this thread for questions and strategy. Quote:

A- OEAO: Agent Skahen- Actually better against melee than against range. Very solid ranged hero: 2x3s at 7 range is solid, and 6 move with 7 range is stupid good for kiting. Otonashi with her Cover Fire is hilariously good for the 10 points. Unfortunately, Skahen suffers from whiffs more than even Krav, as a single whiff can easily spell 2 wounds or death.

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
Necroblade, she actually CAN move two figures with Cover Fire. If she attacks twice with Double Attack and causes a wound both times, she gets to use Cover Fire twice, in effect giving her the capability to move two figures.
I agree that Shaken isn't game-breaking, but she sure is awesome! The user formerly known as Bloody the Marro Stinger! |

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
I think without Cover Fire, she is weaker than a set of KMA. Remember if Stealth Dodge fails, she has a good chance to receive more than 1 wound. But factoring in the ability to move up to 2 Vydar tricky figures, I think she is priced well, especially most Vydar tricky figures are very solid.

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
This will be handy for getting your units in place for an Otonashi Slingshot.
Very versatile, and it definitely fits the Vydar theme! I think the point cost is just right. |

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
Wow is she awesome. She is like a hero version of the Krav Maga Agents! She may only get two attacks but a 3 life hero with stealth dodge is going to be hard take down.
Cover fire doesn't seem that great. She can, however, move Dund into position so he crippling stare the next turn which is interesting. Sisyphus' Probability Tables Tournament Director: Makes running a tournament easy. Latest Battle Report: Florida Frenzy 2 |

1) Unifies the Agents, who were already great units in their own right. 2) Helps a bunch of units that had a little trouble, IMO (Gorillinators, Dund, Otonashi, et. al.), and incorporates them into an army. She's also a solid stand-alone figure with her stats and abilities (I do wish she had 4 lives, because that seems to be a Vydar thing- See Carr and Major Qs 9 and 10). She gets my Spite of Approval.

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
The next question is: Should Q9 use 1-die attacks or 2-dice attacks with Skahen? We all know the answer for KMA, which is 1-die attack. I think I need to sit down to calculate it.

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
Considering that Agent Shaken will probably have a Nakita next to her due to Cover Fire most of the time, I'd rather not attack her from range at all if it's not a special attack. Granted, Queglix Gun IS a special attack, but it's something worth noting.

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
She'll be devastating on a castle. Two attacks of four, with ground troops advancing almost every attack...
I don't how how useful she'll be, with only 3 life, but she'll be a load of fun to play! |

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
On a castle, couldn't it be FIVE dice each attack? If those assaulting the keep are not on height, she would have extreme height....

Re: The Book of Agent Skahen
To be honest, I'm not sure why you'd place her on a castle unless you have ground troops outside the castle - and even then, Vydar doesn't have many good castle gaurds that work outside the castle. Her primary strength is in Cover Fire, I think.
Now, ATTACKING the castle, on the other hand... yeah. Move the Krav AND Nakitas up, and start sniping. The opponent is going to have an absurdly difficult time killing you with Stealth Dodge and Smoke Powder! You can also bring up Agent Carr for Door Killing, for crying out loud!

Edit. And if one of the Nakita dies you will have time to bring up another Nakita to take the place of the dead one! |
