SL Builds?

[Bleakheart]

I want to try out SL, but im not sure what to use...

I want to use Skeezick (i can see them working well together) i was thinking something like this...

1x Dragoleech
2x Skeezick Rioter (should one die, the swarm will live on :))
2x Skeezick General
2x Skeezick Drummer
1x Skeezick Torch
2x Skeezick Cannoneer
1x Draksar Consulate
1x Destroyer

2x Firestorm
1x Drought
2x Dragonic Benediction
1x Quickening

1x Acid Trap
1x Warbanner

Any one have criticism? I'm new, I dont mind :)

I also wouldnt mind knowing good ways to run them, i was thinking rioters and drummers at 9 spd, generals at 10?

Well I don't really use skeezicks that oftern so I don't know how much help I can be but from the looks of it u have a solid bg, though u might want to add a scroundal (excuse spelling). if u could show us the builds of each rune then we could better anaylise your bg.

Haha, thats just it, this is on Paper for now, I dont have them all together quite yet. This is what i have somewhat planned though...

1x Dragoleech (9 spd, 36 hp, regen1 - 59 nora)
2x Skeezick Rioter (9 spd - 65 nora)
2x Skeezick General - Was planning to run at 9-11 speed, dont know his abilities. Suggestions? I have bids out on them as we speak :D
2x Skeezick Drummer (9 spd, 38 hp, about 74 nora)
1x Skeezick Torch - Thinking of replacing with Draksar Broodqueen 9 spd, revitalize 3, maybe regen1 - 74-78 nora
2x Skeezick Cannoneer (9 spd, hp inc, regen?)
1x Draksar Consulate (9 spd, shatter, regen1 - 79 nora)
1x Destroyer (11 spd, 53 hp, rend1, charge3 - 84 nora)

2x Firestorm
1x Drought
2x Dragonic Benediction
1x Quickening

1x Acid Trap
1x Warbanner

That's what I have so far, not sure if that's good or not, I'm new to this faction :) I figure if its fast enough and fairly cheap the units themselves are pretty buff, so they shouldnt need too much power for a rush, and if they are in need of 2 attacks i have DB or quickening or my drummers (or all 3 XD)

I was also thinking of tossing a forbidden fruit in here for when a unit is near death, or going up to something i know it will lose against, just bam, takem out (i know it eats my AP and id have to wait a turn). Does this work well for anyone?

There's no need for a scoundrel if he's running a consulate. I personally would try and squeeze a march of the skeezick in there, especially if you plan on running fruit. Your builds look pretty good. The cannons will be 68 if you run them the way you said, that's hoe I build mine. Don't replace the torch with a broodqueen.

What should i replace him with? he doesnt seem worth what he costs, but then again he is a different type of damage, so i dont know. i was also thinking of maybe replacing him witha dragon handler 9 spd, 49 hp, drive - 64 nora. what do you think about that?

march of the skeezick seems like a cool idea, thanks for the tip, cause with that a a drum i could attack something that is close

the torch is an awesome rune 72 nora for 1-2 range time bomb with 12 damage, a ranged attack, and 53 hp with warbanner

Fruit is nice in a build with cheap champions, but be careful the opponent can't kill the champion it's on. Your builds look good -- that's how they are usually run.

yeah, i planned to use it later on with a Skeezick rioter (as in campaign they already are a tough force to beat, i end up with literally 20+ assuming i can manage at least 4-5 off of two vs a person, lol) since they have that bit of range and can make copies. Also, reading what the equipt says, killing something with the forbidden fruit counts as both units being destroyed by the forbidden fruit, ex. I equip forbidden fruit to a rioter, get his AP up to 3, and attack, *both units die, no new rioter spawns* correct?

What would i do if i met my own Voil BG in combat (i use 2 bat swarms)? Will my units be able to simply kill them faster?

i would advise against the second rioter. better to have another skeezick or a taint to help the one rioter get the swarm going. there ain't much that can stop a tainted general with a swarm and canoneers at his back. and you can normally get off a couple taints per game.

At that point go for 74.

Yes, that +2hp helps.

What skeezick would i replace him with? and should i replace some spell with a taint? or the cid trap with taint?

[Sunnydays]

Drought might be something u may want to replace, while its good for charging into a group of champs u already run 2 dbs and a quickening which will already be good for approaching enemies and kill them all, i would suggest trying a taint or a hatching season, also march of the skeezick is pretty staple to a skeez deck so u might want to think about that too
