Hey guys Deathwielded here,
I was looking at
Lord Krayt and was wondering how to make an effective squad with him. I have heard that he has seen some tournament play but I can't see why.
Could you guys give me some suggestions on how to use him effectively?
Here is my critique of him:
The new Krayt has improved stats (highest base defense and +17 attack) 130 with VCA6 can give him some longevity. Transfer Essence with MotF2 can have him swap in and out in the same turn, plus if he swaps with a Sith Recruit that activates their Self Destruct. Triple Attack with Sith Rage and Advantageous Attack means he can pump out 120 damage pretty easily. His CE is fitting since because of his high cost you will need some act control.
I think he definitely needs Renewal 2 though, since he will burn through those FP's FAST! His cost should have been more than enough reason to have it IMO. Essence of Life seems to compound this problem because for it to be effective he would need to keep some fp's in reserve.
Recovery 60 is nice as it could increase his chances of surviving, but since it replaces his turn it might not get to see to much use. (unless he can use Transfer Essence on the same turn but I doubt he can)
Affinity for Non-unique Imps works Flavor wise but I can't think of who you could add from the Imps to benefit his squad. I think for the cost he could have used some more attacks and perhaps a second CE to benefit his squad. As is I would've costed him 15-20 less in my opinion.
I can see that the intent was to match him up with GMLS (since they are the only non-epic characters that cost over 100) but GMLS atleast has a better CE more damage output (via Djem so Mastery) and better defense IMO. Could you guys help me see some more value in him?
P.S I'm not bashing the V-set teams. I think they are doing an awesome job!
(especially with these last 2 sets) however there has been some hiccups which are to be expected.
