{{ lasombra }} Lasombra

{% trans trimmed lasombra_nocturn=link("/archetypes/lasombra-nocturn") %} The Lasombra and their rare {{ obt }} discipline are quite close to the Kiasyd {{ kiasyd }}, but a little more played. They have given birth to the infamous {{ lasombra_nocturn }} archetype, one of the strongest stealth & bleed archetypes of the game using the {{ DOM }}{{ OBT }} disciplines combination. They also can be used for political or even toolbox builds, but this is a rarer occurence. {% endtrans %}

{% call layout.card_column("Shadow Play", decks=122, copies="2-6") %} {% trans trimmed lost_in_crowds=card("Lost in Crowds"), into_thin_air=card("Into Thin Air") %} The strongest stealth for {{ obt }}, pricier than the {{ obf }} equivalents {{ lost_in_crowds }} and {{ into_thin_air }} of course. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Shroud of Absence", decks=105, copies="2-4") %} {% trans trimmed %} Another stealth modifier, this one at no cost. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Shroud of Night", decks=77, copies="1-5") %} {% trans trimmed %} Yet another stealth enhancer, this one only really useful at superior {{ OBT }}. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Ermenegildo, The Rake", decks=69, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed %} Only 5 pool for {{ DOM }}{{ OBT }}, plus he is Black Hand. He gets included in a lot of decks, Lasombra, Kiasyd {{ kiasyd }} or Black Hand alike. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Elysian Fields", decks=68, copies="1") %} {% trans trimmed %} An excellent permanent stealth enhancer for a reasonable 2 pool cost. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Nocturn", decks=58, copies="4-14") %} {% trans trimmed the_path_of_night=card("The Path of Night"), the_unmasking=card("The Unmasking"), fbi_special_affairs_division=card("FBI Special Affairs Division") %} Although he lasts only one turn, he can either bleed for 1 or be kept for defence. Also, {{ the_path_of_night }} can be used to get him cheap and {{ the_unmasking }} and {{ fbi_special_affairs_division }} can be used to enhance him. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Shadow Body", decks=57, copies="1-4") %} {% trans trimmed oubliette=card("Oubliette") %} An excellent combat defence with the "combat ends" effect, it can also come in handy at superior {{ OBT }}. This effect explains why it is often preferred to its alternative the {{ oubliette }}. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Blanket of Night", decks=56, copies="1-3") %} {% trans trimmed a_b=link("/strategy/fundamentals", _("A&B"), _anchor="AB") %} Yet another stealth enhancer, the superior {{ OBT }} effect can be a useful block denial, although locking two vampires to get a single action through is really expensive in terms of {{ a_b }}. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Tenebrous Form", decks=48, copies="1-3") %} {% trans trimmed %} Completing the stealth arsenal of {{ obt }}, this one as a nice side-effect at superior {{ OBT }}: it prevents allies to block the action, as they do not have blood to pay (and as it is not a card they use, cannot use life instead). {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Onaedo", decks=48, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed %} The precious {{ OBT }}{{ DOM }} combination for 6 pool, a common inclusion in Lasombra crypts. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Banjoko", decks=45, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed the_admonitions=card("The Admonitions")%} Superior {{ DOM }} for 5 pool is already good, even with only inderior {{ obt }}. The Black Hand and Seraph traits can be useful, either as an enhancer when playing {{ the_admonitions }}, or in full-fledged Black Hand constructs, where such a cheap Seraph really shines. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("The Path of Night", decks=37, copies="2-4") %} {% trans trimmed nocturn=card("Nocturn")%} Often used in {{ obt }} heavy builds, as some {{ obt }} stealth modifiers cost a blood. It becomes even more powerful when used in conjunction with some {{ nocturn }}. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Andrew Emory", decks=34, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed %} A nice {{ OBT }}{{ dom }} combination for just 5 pool, he is often included in stealth & bleed decks. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Lord Vauxhall", decks=32, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed %} He may be considered a bit pricey, but all clan disciplines at superior for 7 pool is really reasonable. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Arms of the Abyss", decks=31, copies="2-7") %} {% trans trimmed entombment=card("Entombment") %} Although combat is rarely used in Lasombra builds, they still have the combat-oriented {{ pot }} discipline, and this dodge + additional strike combination can be very efficient. Combined with {{ entombment }}, it becomes frightening. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Gratiano", decks=29, copies="1-3") %} {% trans trimmed %} The bleed bonus along {{ DOM }}{{ OBT }} is strong, and its unique Priscus ability means he will always provide 3 votes unless they are two other priscii on the table. All in all a rather strong combination for 8 pool. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% endblock %}
