I'm gonna take a shot at the non-elite Infester, by virtue of it's the only thing I can reach.

Yeah I like the idea of stabbing the imp and forcing the Harrowers to retaliate each other.

Since I'm going to be using Fresh Kill I'm going to target the closest enemy that has full hp (as long as it's not the imp since it will be shielded) moving as necessary but I don't think I'll need to move much since it's range 4. If I have to move all the way in and shoot a snek then I will.

Given the current plan (Splinter moves in, attacks the Imp and mind-controls the normal Infestor) you could attack either an Infestor or a Viper, depending on what our Spellweaver does.

At the moment here's how the round will play out:

Splinter moves to L1 and attacks the Imp, then controls the normal Infestor.
Imp puts up Shield 5 and heals for 1.
Elite Infestor does an attack 3 (disadvantage) against Splinter and Muddles her.
Normal Infestor does an attack 2 (disadvantage) against the elite Infestor. It takes 3 retaliate damage, but then heals for 4.
Vipers all move closer, ending up at H1, I1, F1, and the spot where the elite Viper is currently.
The Spellweaver needs to use Boots of Striding to get in range, so she can move up to 6. Since Splinter won't be on the door, she can attack either of the Infestors. If she attacks the elite, you can attack the normal; if she attacks the normal you'll probably end up attacking a Viper (unless any of the previous attacks missed).

Actually now that I've typed that out, I'm not sure controlling the normal Infestor is the best use of our time. At best it'll deal 2 damage to the elite and Muddle it, and prevent about 2 damage against Splinter. We could get a similar effect by controlling the elite Infestor (it Muddles the Imp) or we could just not lose the card at all.

I think the elite harrower's still going to take a potshot at Splinter, so you'll have the elite at full HP to arrow. please draw your crit.

Haha I'll do my best but I won't have advantage until next turn when I Doom something.

Any suggestions for the Doom? I'm thinking Detonation because Frightening Curse still has 2 more charges and I love that combo. I'm open to other ideas though.

Good point. I think then maybe mind controlling the elite Harrower might be the best idea.

Technically the Black Imp should be muddled. The elite Infestor would've focused on the "enemy" with fastest initiative, which would've been the Imp. It doesn't change any HP totals or card draws but it does mean the Imp will be at disadvantage next round.

Yep. I noticed that too.

OK since I don't have the exploding Doom anymore (I forgot I used it in a previous turn) I'm going to Doom the elite Harrower with a Doom that makes me (and only me) do more damage to it, then attack it. I have a really good chance of killing it this turn but if I don't NBD.

I'm going really fast just in case that helps draw damage away from anyone else.

Splinter can make ice this round.

I suggest 10 - Dark Frenzy/Corrupting Embrace, with the idea being to use Corrupting Embrace first on the imp and then Frenzy back to the door hex for optimal clustering.

I think that's the right plan Omobono - I'd consider using cards the other way 'round if we hadn't promised to generate Ice this turn, maybe just use the top as a standard atk2 since it has a decent chance of killing the imp anyway, that way, and poison on the harrowers is nice. But we have promised ice for a coldfire bomb this coming turn, and we will indeed be making a nice pileup at the door!

Oh shoot, my bad! This also means Boris did not get clocked for 6. Fixing both the position and the HP count - no way to fix the monsters modifier deck in GH Helper though.

Plan is to move onto the coin, shank a snake and stun snake 1

I'm assuming Lina will lockdown an area with both fire and ice available; the harrower can be left to the summon and Boris.

Retaliate doesn't trigger on an attack that kills the target. It's an attack 3 against an effective 3 health, so as long as the mod draw isn't negative, the summon will survive! :eng101:

E: Forgot about Rain of Arrows! That's an attack 5 against 3 effective health, meaning the summon will have to draw a null to die instead of the Infester.

I will stun all the snakes that aren't the snake splinter is stunning.

Elephant Ambush: Nov 13, 2012; ...We sholde spenden more time together. What sayest thou?; Nap Ghost

The way that Harrower card works is that they have Retaliate 4 or 5 against attacks from adjacent hexes but only Retaliate 2 against ranged attacks within range 3. Either would kill the summon but it's important for the rest of us.

Except in this situation because unless me and the summon both miss it's dead.

Phelddagrif: Jan 28, 2009; Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

Retaliate doesn't trigger on an attack that kills the target. It's an attack 3 against an effective 3 health, so as long as the mod draw isn't negative, the summon will survive!

E: Forgot about Rain of Arrows! That's an attack 5 against 3 effective health, meaning the summon will have to draw a null to die instead of the Infester.

I will stun all the snakes that aren't the snake splinter is stunning.

Actually, I just checked and there's a typo in the spreadsheet. Rain of Arrows should say "add +2 to all your attacks targeting this enemy." It boosts the Doomstalker's attacks, but doesn't affect his allies.

Correct. Multi-Pronged Assault is the Doom that adds +1 to all attacks from my allies.

The summon has a decent chance of killing the Harrower though. It only needs a +1 and that attack deck is pretty strong.
