So I bought the book at my FLGS and went through their limited selection of models and bought the two that most interested me (Vayl and Harod, they didn't have Kirsten). I hope to play my first Alpha level game on Wednsday. My team will (obviously) be Vayl and Harod and I'm torn over my choices for advantage cards. I'm currently thinking Dawn of the Dark (to maximize hidden) and Power Source (to help with Action efficiency) but some other combos occured to me like Protective Shield on Harod and Greater Life Potion on Vayl (or replace one of those with Chosen Prey.

Any thoughts on this?

well, neither of them are very defensively capable. So, one option is protective shield. Another option is Nue (this will make them harder to find in stealth). Afterimages can help at range, and combined combat could help while engaged. Combined combat also helps with offense when engaged as well.

From my perspective, I'd be looking to increase the survivability of those two. They are both kind of one shot wonders. If that shot works out, they might get a second shot, but if it doesn't, they will be in a world of hurt, usually. Not to say this doesn't work, the Azur Alliance is an organization almost exclusively based in this concept.

Thanks Usagi.

Well, I won my first game (Vayl and Harod vs. Justina and Damien) but I'm not sure it wasn't a gimme to hook the new guy. If it was, it worked, I can't wait to play another game and start expanding my collection.
