Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
Not to be a tool, but in fairness to Rev Bookman, I'm going to just ask that the general comments stay in the reaction thread. The Book is meant for rules-clarification purposes and strategy discussions.
~Spite, who would just like to add that he is a champion, my friends, and will keep on fighting til the end, because Rev will unfortunately have to delete this post eventually anyway. |

Thanks, spite. I am not seeing any proof of proxy play testing in these comments, so, sooner or later, they are likely to be deleted. |

Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
Edit: Ignore! I didn't realize that faction-wide synergies don't go here - I really need to read the books more carefully.
Don't forget Ornak's Red Flag of Fury Aura. Othkurik is a unique hero who follows Utgar. Last edited by Taeblewalker; December 19th, 2009 at 10:07 PM. |

Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
Yay, my message got deleted!
Anyway, I DO have a small overview of Othkurik; I sort of realized in observation that he's the sort of unit that you would build an army around as opposed to providing filler. He's sort of a mid-game predator... too fragile to be taken out in the heat of battle, but doesn't provide the best cleanup because of single attacks and situational Special Attack. However, if you can provide a good screen (Rats, preferably) and another unit to tie squads up for a while (I smell Izumi), then you'll have a lot of chances to sneak up and inflict some impressive damage on unsuspecting heroes. Ironically, Othkurik looks to play well with Tandros Kreel, since he looks to be a very good staller (setting aside Charos, since that would be far too expensive). Otherwise, you're left with about 320 points with Rats x3, Izumi, and Othkurik, so even on boards without Shadow or Swamp, he might perform pretty well- but again, with proper support. Funny, I haven't actually posted in the main forum for a while. Shame; I really need to get back into 'Scape. |

What if you used rats to "bridge the gap" between figures? As in, your opponent might spread his figures out to avoid Acid Spray. So, get rats to plug the holes and then target the rats. Sure you will lose a rat here and there and it won't activate scatter (for two reasons), but if you are using 4x rats that won't matter much. Othkurik - 140 4x Rats - 160 (300) Something else - 200 (500) And all the things you could do with those last 200 points! Imagine this: Othkurik - 140 4x Rats - 160 (300) Q9 - 180 (480) Filler - 20 (500) That would just be cruel, especially on the right maps.

Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
I assume that Lurking Ambush does not work with Acid Spray Special Attack. If it did, it would give the ability to attack 3 figures with 7 dice. I realize that special attacks generally don't get bonuses, but Lurking Ambush says, "add 3 to his Attack value." It doesn't specify normal attack. Could we get a clarification on this?

Although I do find it interesting that it says "attack value" (I don't think I have seen that on any other cards thus far, correct me if I am wrong), I believe that it only modifies his base attack. I think it would say that it modifies the special attack as well as the base attack if that was the case. |

Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
Why not some 'trons?
Othkurik 2x Blasts 3x Glads |

Re: The Book of Othkurik the Black Dragon
I don't see trons as helping much. The Blasts use the Glads as Attack Boosters and Clampers so they don't get attacked. If you're using them as "Gap Fillers" as Warlord Alpha said, I'd say it's a waste of points. If you're using Othkurik as late game clean-up, or the Glads as protection for Othkurik (Maybe clamping guys in groups?) then it'd be better.
