give me one good reason why i should pick Vithzerai again?
He's way too expensive, he has wand attack wich is one big disadvantage, because my opponents heroes have sunsword, or shieldtome, or magic immunity (by relic or by nature) or ghostform!
I have played him like 5 times now and every single time my opponent played one of the mentioned abilities :mad:
Vitzarai is not really useful in the 300 points scence. He is worth alot of points (Highest I think for any Draconum). He has the wand type attack so you cannot attack people with MI. Many abilities can hinder his usefulness.
Fasle
He is a very usable Figure. In high point games. You get to the 500 to 600 point battles and wow can he rip some one up! You just need to deal with the guys that make him unuseful with your support peices. In 600 point battles I love to group Vithzarai with Caldera (With Sunsword). Boom Vitzarai takes out the ranged threats. Caldera smokes anyone Vith can't get.
So yes you can't use Vithzarai in Smal battle. Where Vithzarai has all his power is in the larger scene.
He is useful, ust as mentioned in higher point games, due to his disadvantages he needs someone to take care of those fig´s. But if he has about 200 points of support he ROCKS imho.
Vitz doesn't have :bow: type so he can't shoot what the Shades are tying up. In 300 points I can't think of any reason he'd be good. You'd need to pack a healer for support in case of Kaboom, and a figure like Caldera, Nim or Anunub he can't even touch!!!
Too expensive and way too many weaknesses. Maybe in Conquest, but only maybe.
The one good thing...he's just cool! Oh, and in sealed he can be a terror!!! so I found two good things
I'll give you a great list of reasons why you should pick vith..
1) He's yellowish with wings, has a blus lightningbolt thingy, plus he's only one more point than DS Areodon!
2) Two heads are better than one!
3) Vith can carry more relics than all of your non-unique figures comnined.
4) Figures with easy to spell names are usually weak - EG
Kyma, Jasper, Podo, etc... Vithzerai is harder to spell.
5) Why complain about the :wand: when he has the :wing:.
6) Make sure you get the little flightstand if you trade for him. Two stands are never enought, If you boght a case like I did, you really need about 30 flight stands.
7) 2 words. Serpent Fang
(smile!)
8) did someone need a light? (Vith's left hand)
9) He's the only figure with a batman like utility belt, and a leather pouch. Inside the leather pouch is a pair of binoculars, for watching NASCAR races. If he looses them, its a pouch for him to hold his Binocular Codex Roll)
I can't see him being useful in anything except say a 2000 point conquest game and only then as a big bound formation buster. He just costs to many points and has to many weakness. I'd rather take Khan Rava and the Amazon Draconum and thats still less points. I mean I simply wiped out Vithzerai. The guy who played him was really sorry he played him. I doubt he'd be any good in sealed either. I'd rather have Drakor, Caldera, or Varatrix. Speaking of Varatrix does anyone know how to play him correctly? Anyway the answer is no there is no real good way to play him. He's just a big, expensive guy screaming, SHOOT ME, KILL ME.
He can lay the smack down on formations due to Storm fire, he has a 21 df when at souring from ranged attacks, he has hex and ranged damage his entire life.........those are why I like him.
