NO POSTS FOR A WHILE YALL

Gonna be kinda busy for the next bit - picking up extra shifts in COVID containment area.   Sorry for the lack of content.

Cardiology: Wildform

Decision: Should You Play Wildform? TL;DR:  Unfortunately, this one probably isn't good enough.  And with only two warbands left to see the light of day in Season 3, it's probably not going to be good enough any time soon. Factor: What does it even do? This card is, admittedly, a little hard to get a handle on.  In it's most basic form, it gives you a chance to permanently increase the damage of your range 1-2 attacks, with the potential to grab some other bonuses.  Unfortunately, you're almost completely at the mercy of the dice as to which bonus you'll get: +1 move, +1 wounds, or +1 defense.  Assuming an unaugmented level 2 caster, your chances of getting each of the bonuses is as follows: 25% - +1 move 11% - +1 wounds 3%   - +1 defense The other 61% of the time, you're getting nothing.  Sorry.  Obviously, you can bump up the chance of success with other cards, but we'll have to see if that's worth your trouble later on....

Special: The WurmStat TL;DR: Don't count on the damage reduction saving your "tail" very often - but it is a nice bonus that adds to the already solid survivability of the Trichinosis Team. A Mistake and A Warning Oops, wrong button. In our last article , we mentioned that there might be some times when it's beneficial to put Substance Siphon on Fecula, even if it didn't increase the number of dice that she's rolling on defense.  We arrived at that conclusion by doing a few specific calculations on attacks and defenses and factoring in the damage reduction ability of the Wurmstat.  In these specific cases, there were very slight improvements to the average damage Fecula would take against those attacks.  Upon realizing this, we got very excited to see how much benefit Fecula (and the other Barfbois) would gain from switching to dodges against all attacks .  So we did a prodigious amount of math. As it turns out, switching from blocks to ...
