Skaldi Bonehamer Drinking Buddy - A Tactical Breakdown for League PlayBy Goris
If ever there was a partner in crime for Borka, Skaldi was it from the beginning. Now, thematically, he fits it to a tee and makes Champions and Champ Heroes follow suit. So here I will break down the key differences and what it will mean for the overall play style of Champs and Troll during the Sand Narrows league.
Breakdown
Skaldi's new form does not boast a change in his stats, but a large switch in his rules. Here are the Changes.
- Skaldi is now a Solo and what a Solo he is. This means you can take him as a potent beat stick outside of a unit of champs putting him along side our other amazing 3pt solos.
- Skaldi now has an Elite Cadre rule that gives Champion Heroes Unyielding(+2 ARM while engaged) and Stumbling Drunk, Borka's signature ability granted by the Keg Carrier. Holy crap we took the one real downside of Champ Heroes which was the survivability and turned it on it's ear. They are now even tougher to kill, hit back with Retaliatory Strike and stumble away when you hit them. All the while moving through each other or other champs if they can or want to. Pair this with Skaldi having these abilities normally and you have quite the potent combo. This makes me happy I own 2 Champion Heroes!
- Skaldi is now a Veteran Leader of Champion models and they gain +2 Mat while Skaldi is in their LOS. Champs rarely had problems hitting before but Holy Crap if wintergaurd won't be crapping their pants now with MAT 11 Troops with crazy armor and 2 attacks heading for them.
