The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich
C3V Wave 23 - Yngvild's Vision - Heroes of the Outlands



PDF Download

The figure used for this unit is Necrovite from the Starfinder Battles - Galactic Villains set.

Character Bio: From a new world, Utgar has called forth a new evil: Ataraxis, a starlich summoned from the distant planet Dyer 3. Ataraxis has found her place on Valhalla fighting alongside the Esenweins and their undead armies. Her Terror Enhancement Field amplifies the fear of her enemies a hundred-fold, causing the defenses of even the most stalwart warrior to falter. And should she fall in battle, Ataraxis’s consciousness can be transferred to a new host via nanobot technology, ensuring that the cycle of terror shall never truly end.

Spoiler Alert!

Quote:
NECROTIZING WORMHOLE
Before moving, you may choose a small or medium figure you control within 5 spaces of Ataraxis. Switch Ataraxis and the chosen figure. If the chosen figure is not Undead, it receives 1 wound. Figures moved by Necrotizing Wormhole never take any leaving engagement attacks.

TERROR ENHANCEMENT FIELD
Opponents’ figures within 5 spaces of Ataraxis roll 1 less defense die against terrifying figures.

NANOBOT SOUL CAGE
When Ataraxis is destroyed, you may remove all wound markers from this card and place Ataraxis on the card of any Unique Hero within 5 spaces of Ataraxis. For the entire game, if a Unique Hero with your Ataraxis on its card is destroyed by a normal or special attack or a leaving engagement attack, immediately place Ataraxis on a space the destroyed figure occupied, if possible.
_________________________________________________________________
-Rulings and Clarifications-
Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card, and that Unique Hero is killed by a Zombie of Morrindan, what happens first, Zombies Rise Again, or the resurrection from Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: If the Zombie and Ataraxis are owned by different players, the two players roll off to see which effect activates first, the placement from Zombies Rise Again or the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage. If the Zombie and Ataraxis are owned by the same player, the owner decides the order of operations. If the placement from Zombies Rise Again happens first, Ataraxis cannot be placed and remains on the destroyed Hero's card. If the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage happens first, Ataraxis is placed and no Zombie is placed.

Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card, and that Unique Hero also has an Ebon Armor on its Army Card, when that Unique Hero dies what happens first the resurrection from Eternal War or the resurrection from Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: Ataraxis is placed first
due to "immediately" in Nanobot Soul Cage. The Ebon Armor is not placed.

Q: What happens when a Wolf of Badru uses Pounce Special Attack to kill a Hero holding Ataraxis's Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: If the Wolf and Ataraxis are owned by different players, the two players roll off to see which effect activates first, the placement from the Pounce or the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage. If the Wolf and Ataraxis are owned by the same player, the owner decides the order of operations. If the placement from the Pounce happens first, Ataraxis cannot be placed and remains on the destroyed Hero's card. If the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage happens first, Ataraxis is placed and the Wolf does not move because there is no legal placement. (The Wolf is not destroyed because the target Hero was successfully destroyed.)

Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card due to Nanobot Soul Cage, and that Unique Hero dies from something other than a normal attack, special attack, or leaving engagement attack, or Ataraxis cannot be placed, what happens to Ataraxis?
A: Ataraxis remains on that Unique Hero's Army Card. If that Unique Hero is resurrected, Ataraxis may replace the figure the next time it dies.

Q: If Ataraxis is hit by Shurrak is dies due to falling damage from Knockback, can Nanobot Soul Cage be used?
A: No. The damage is due to the fall, not from the attack or special attack.

Q: Can Ataraxis be revived by the Glyph of Sturla while on the Army Card of a Unique Hero?
A: Yes. Ataraxis is destroyed and can be revived normally. Obviously Nanobot Soul Cage cannot be used to return Ataraxis to the battlefield afterward because she is already on the battlefield.

Q: If Ataraxis is on Kursus's Army Card, and Kursus dies when using Sonic Fists Special Attack, can Ataraxis be placed on the map?
A: Yes, in Kursus's original position. Kursus died due to his own special attack, so Ataraxis is placed on the last space Kursus occupied.

-Combinations and Synergies-

Synergy Benefits Received
  • ORNAK : Red Flag of Fury
    As a unique hero that follows Utgar, Ataraxis may benefit from Ornak’s RED FLAG OF FURY activation synergy.
  • TORIN : Evil Eye Protection
    As a medium figure who follows Utgar, Ataraxis benefits from Torin's EVIL EYE PROTECTION special power when she rolls defense dice against a normal ranged attack while she is adjacent to Torin (Ataraxis’s excess shields count as unblockable hits inflicted by Torin on the attacking figure).
  • SKELETONS OF ANNELLINTIA : Necromancy & Reanimation
    As a Unique Lady, Ataraxis may interact with the Skeletons of Annellintia's NECROMANCY & REANIMATION abilities.

Re: The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

I have a couple ruling questions:
  • If you your last figure is a unique hero with a Ataraxis the Starlic card on it, and it dies, does the game end and you loose, or does Ataraxis come back one last time? The "immediately place" seems to supersede end game condition of checking at the end of every turn.
  • I assume if a unit with the Ataraxis the Starlic card on it dies, then Ataraxis dies again, you can move it the card to another unique hero, but it is not clear - can someone confirm? If not then someone like Thanos or Azazel would be good to pair with Ataraxis with resurrections back and forth.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are these are the best armies to play with them:
  • Esenweins & Skeletons of Annellintia
    Ataraxis the Starlich (160)
    Skeletons of Annellintia (105) x 2 = 210 [370]
    Cyprien Esenwein (150) [520]
    Sonya Esenwein (45) [565]
  • Zombies (and/or Specters)
    Ataraxis the Starlich (160)
    Zombie Hulk (60) * 2 = 120 [280]
    Zombies of Morindan (60) or Specters of Aldorn (60) * 3-5 [460, 520, 580]
  • Hybrids
    Ataraxis the Starlich (160)
    Werewolf Lord (140) * 2 = 280 [440]
    Maltis Tez (35) [475]
    Seleena (35) [510]
  • Also adding in Marcu, Isamu, and/or Bol to any army would be good.

In response to A, I could be wrong about this, but I believe that victory conditions are usually checked for at the end of a turn, so Ataraxis could come back one last time.

In response to B, yes, Ataraxis can be revived multiple times per game via Nanobot Soul Cage.

I'm much more confident in my response to B than A, although on both points I would defer to the C3V Rules Team.

For a more balanced Ataraxis + Skeletons build, I would actually ditch the vampires in favor of a special attacker and/or can opener. Something like Major Q10 + Marcu Esenwein, or anything else in that vein.

Ataraxis and Zombies of Morindan may be the nastiest Starlich & Squad pair; Terror Enhancement Field plays nicely off of Zombies Rise Again, and Horde Movement allows plenty of chances for Ataraxis to bounce around the battlefield with her Necrotizing Wormhole.

What's the rationale behind pairing Ataraxis with Hybrids?

Re: The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

She is very fun to play. For your zombie build, you will probably need another unique hero so you have a chance to bring her back.

Zombie Hulks are uncommon, so they count as Unique for the purpose of all special powers, including Nanobot Soul Cage

(Also, note that the Nanobots can be used to infect your opponent's heroes too!)

Re: The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

When I'm feeling cheeky, I like running the following army.

Ataraxis 160
Wildwood Monarch 140
Wildwood Sentinel 100
Wildwood Runner x3 120
-------------------------------
Total: 520 points / 6 hexes

The Wildwoods appreciate Ataraxis' ranged support and provide her with a steady supply of Unique Hero bodies. Admittedly, the combination was more effective before Ataraxis' post-playtesting changes were revealed, as she could immobilize opposing figures with her pseudo-Cyberclaw when they tried to reach your Runners, but it still works well enough. Plus, Necrotizing Wormhole can be convenient for finishing off a 1-Life Monarch on OM3 and refreshing the cycle sooner.

Re: The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

@Ulysses Amusingly you list Torin in the benefits received, but Torin is also a Terrifying figure, so should also be in the benefits offered list. Also the Torin link goes to Ornak for some reason.

Re: The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

Quick Question

If a Unique Hero is destroyed by and attack in which the attacking figure occupies the space of the destroyed figure ( ie: pounce, Wolves of Badru) which action will happen as both powers indicate, Immediately?
I am Assuming that the attacking figure takes precedence since Ataraxis' card states " if possible"



Wolves of Badru
POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3. Attack 5.
A Wolf of Badru that moved but did not attack normally may use Pounce Special Attack. To pounce, choose a non-adjacent small or medium figure whose base is not higher or lower than 5 levels from the base of the attacking Wolf. If the figure is destroyed, immediately place the attacking Wolf on the space the figure occupied. If the figure is not destroyed, destroy the attacking Wolf.



Ataraxis the Starlich
NANOBOT SOUL CAGE

When Ataraxis is destroyed, you may remove all wound markers from this card and place Ataraxis on the card of any Unique Hero within 5 spaces of Ataraxis. For the entire game, if a Unique Hero with your Ataraxis on its card is destroyed by a normal or special attack or a leaving engagement attack, immediately place Ataraxis on a space the destroyed figure occupied, if possible.

In any case where effects are happening simultaneously, if they would affect the outcome of each other, the relevant players should roll off to see who's effect gets to happen first. This can result in an effect not happening. In the situation you describe, where the hero that would respawn Ataraxis is killed by pounce, the roll off would determine if the Wolf is destroyed instead of being placed there, or if Ataraxis is effectively removed from the game entirely by the wolf being placed first. If you are the player controlling both Ataraxis and the Wolves of Badru, you can choose which effect you want to have happen first, instead of rolling for it. If you are in a tournament setting, you should ask a TO if they want you to roll off anyway, but generally if you control the figures who's effects are happening at the same time, you get to choose which one goes first.
@Scytale , please correct me if I am wrong here.
