Mobile+Toolkit


 * Mobile Toolkit, Arcanist Totem (Ramos / C. Hoffman)**

toc

=__Overview__= The Mobile Toolkit is a support Totem with actions ranging from adding a Tome to the casting of itself or friendly models, healing Constructs, or Ramos' //Controlled Detonation// ability. However, with a lower Casting stat, it is not as good as the Brass Arachnid, Essence of Power or the Mechanical Attendant for casting spells via //Magical Extention// with either Master, unless dual Tomes are required for the spell.

=__Mobility__= The Mobile Toolkit can walk 4" in a single action, but its //Handy// ability allows it to move into base contact with its connected Master at the end of any model's activation. Using //Handy// to stay in base contact with its connected Master is probably the best way to move it around, and frees up action points to use on actions.

=__Offense__= The Mobile Toolkit is not a very offensive model with no other weapon than Bash, and a low Casting stat making casting spells difficult. You can cast some of its connected Master's offensive spells via //Magical Extension//, but you will normally have better things to do with this model.

//Controlled Detonation// This is useful when you have a supply of expendable constructs. Ramos can summon Steampunk Arachnids and in Brawls Colette can summon Mecnanical Doves which are excellent targets for //Controlled Detonation//.

=__Resilience__= The Mobile Toolkit is not very resilient, even for a totem. Make sure it doesn't play in the street by itself or it may get run over by a car, or destroyed by a strong breeze. Consider protecting it with a Guardian.

//Easy to Wound 1// Gives damage flips made against this model a positive twist. Together with its low stats for resisting attacks and low number of wounds it can suffer, the best thing you can do is keep this model from being attacked.

//Handy// Prevents this model from being damaged by Pulses and Blasts while in base contact with either Master, which helps prevent it from blowing itself up when using the //Controlled Detonation// ability.

//Immune to Influence// This ability prevents all models (including your own) from targeting this model with Wp-based talents and spells. This normally prevents Hamelin from casting //Obey// to perform an extra action such as //Controlled Detonation// or //Lab Equipment// again. However, both C. Hoffman and his Mechanical Attendant totem have the //Maintain Machines// ability which can be used to ignore //Immune to Influence// allowing C. Hoffman to cast //Override Edict// to gain an extra activation or Hamelin to cast //Obey//.

=__Magical Extension__=

C. Hoffman
Casting Hoffman's spells via //Magical Extension// not only requires high Rams in the casting cost but are often not worth casting in the first place.

//Combat Mechanic// There really isn't much of a reason to cast this spell when the Mobile Toolkit can take the //Weld Together// action to make a friendly construct make a healing flip.

//Open Circuit// With a high Rams in the casting cost, this spell can be cast as long as it is further than 3" from C. Hoffman.

Ramos
//Arcing Screen// This is a good spell to cast to help protect Ramos because the caster does not benefit from the Aura.

//Combat Mechanic// There really isn't much of a reason to cast this spell when the Mobile Toolkit can take the //Weld Together// action to make a friendly construct make a healing flip.

//Electrical Creation// To make casting this spell easier, the Mobile Toolkit can use the //Lab Equipment// action on itself to add a second Tomes to its cast. If you don't want to Cheat in a 12 or higher card you can Cheat in something a little lower and spend a Soustone to add to the casting total.

//Electrical Fire// An armor-ignoring offensive spell. The casting cost is high so you may need to spend a Soulstone to add to the casting total.

=__Tips and Tricks__= Colette can hire C. Hoffman via her //Union Labor// ability, or she can have Ramos as a partner. As long as C. Hoffman or Ramos takes the Mobile Toolkit as a totem, it can give Colette a second Tomes to her cast. Colette then has a guaranteed instant-kill by casting //Disappearing Act// and triggering //Mannequin Replacement// as long as she can flip or cheat in a Tome.
 * Instant-Kill Colette In Brawls**

//Lab Equipment// Models which need an extra Tome to cast spells or to activate Triggers can benefit from this action.

//Weld Together// Both Ramos and C. Hoffman are Constructs and can heal from this action, as well as the other Constructs in your crew. Because the Mobile Toolkit is a Construct and friendly to itself it can target itself with this action.

=__Playing Against the Mobile Toolkit__= Killing it in melee or with ranged attacks should not be difficult at all as long as you don't rely on Pulses or Blasts.
