Bishop


 * Bishop, Outcasts Minion [[image:!CCh8ZcgBmk~$(KGrHqIOKjwEzkQNZjdPBNLdLeOmQ_1_7114_1.JPG align="right"]]** toc

=__Overview__= An expensive but versatile minion. Bishop can almost always do something useful, but you do pay for that versatility in Soulstones. Sometimes he will want to tie up or stall enemy models, other times he will want to fight it out. His (0) actions let him either pick a suit for his Cb and Df with **Adaptive Fighter**, or he can use **Cage Fighter** to up his fighting stats.

=__Mobility__=
 * Quickstrik**e lets him charge with a single Action Point, but ends his activation if he does not end the movement in melee with an enemy. Use of his toss aside trigger, and charging for one action means he can dictate where he fights. For just moving you can walk, then charge to get 11 inches, but the last 7 will have to be in a straight line.

=__Offense__= Again **Quickstrike** lets him charge from far away. **Melee Expert** lets him get his strikes in. His fists, absent of any special abilities or buffs, are not the deadliest weapon in Malifaux. Bishop relies on triggers like **Critical Strike** or a decent combat total to do significant damage. Spells like Pandora's **Self Loathing** are a little less painful to him since the weak damage is only 1 wound with no crazy abilities, but it is pretty rough not having a better weapon on such an expensive minion.

In summary, he is likely to hit, it just won't hurt much. He has combat triggers for every suit, although some are more situational than others.

=__Resilience__= Lots of wounds, and his triggers can get him out of a jam sometimes. With **Cage Fighter**, you can up his Df to 8. With the right suit from **Adaptive Fighter** or your hand, you may be able to get a trigger off to strike back or get out of combat. The only down side to his defensive triggers is that they all require your opponent to miss.

=__Tips and Tricks__= (As per Master, w. Subheadings as needed.)

=__Master-Specific Tips__= (What it says on the can - any Synergies with other Masters worth mentioning) NOTE: There's no need to discuss every Master that can take him, just the ones worth mentioning

=__Minion-Specific Tips__= (As with Master-Specific Tips, going into any specific Synergies with other Minions.)

=__Playing Against Bishop__= Bishop tends to be at his best when he's holding up your strongest models, particularly those with a low Df.
