She only boosts chilling touch by .6 wounds on average. (That's misleading,of course, because she's also tripling the chance he deals 6 wounds (from 5% to 15%).) Still, I'd rather have the extra shots on Cyprien almost every time.
I would definitely have to agree with Fomox on this point. Unless Sonya is an easy kill (i.e. has been wounded already or it isn't out of your way to take a shot/attack at her) I would target Cyprien every time. It really is a win/win for you to try to take out Cyprien since his death hurts Sonya anyway.
Of course its always fun when sonya already has a wound and when you kill Cyprien off her heartbreak kills her too .

How did I get a wound on Sonya you ask?
Wound Glyph of Wannok ftw!

Re: The Book of Sonya Esenwein

Is there anyone here that really uses Sonya aggresively with Cyprien? In most games I've seen, she is more of a cheerleader and then comes out and tries to recover a couple lives after Cyprien dies. I think Cyprien is a much better use of an order marker than Sonya, and can't imagine putting a marker on her when I could do something with Cyprien.

It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect!

I was just thinking about that as well. Might be nice to grab a glyph with her, then move Cyprien out. They can spend time attacking her while Cyprien attacks, or they can concede the glyph.

I guess this assumes that you don't have a better glyph grabber...

Hear that...

Thats the sound of no-one disaggreeing with you.

Jokes aside...
I think that Sonya makes a useful offensive figure or glyph grabber if you happen to have Ornak in your army, simply because you can activate her in addition to Cyprien or some other Utgar hero on turn marker 1.
Usually though, If I'm using Ornak with the Vampires I'm going to be more inclined to activate Marcu who has more life, move, and attack than his undead sister in law. So essentially yes; she is meant to be a cheerleader unit for Cyprien whereas Iskra, the Rechets, and Marcu are meant to actually "fight" alongside him.

Re: The Book of Sonya Esenwein

I'd pay the 5 extra points to have her and the hubby be a clean 200. Anyway, I played a game with my friend and Cyprien flies across the stage like a bat out of hell cutting down or chilling anything he gets near (although I was mostly against soulborgs >.>) Sonya stayed in the starting zone just kind of hanging out as a cheerleader. Cyprien kicked it and Sonya dropped down to one health. She then flew out more or less as a suicide attacker at this point. She ended up killing a squadling then Kelda getting back up to full health.

Moral of the story, if my friend didn't play a soulborg army every dang time, I would play these lovebirds a lot.

Re: The Book of Sonya Esenwein

Does her eternal strength work for Cyprien after she dies? Sorry if someone already asked this question.

Nope, no special powers do unless specified on the card. (i.e. Finn and Thorgrimm's viking spirits)

That's weird... now they show up for me too. Sorry, in the future I'll try to remember that missing cards may not actually be missing.
