Concept art speculation

All the concept art has been released for wave 20 and there are some exciting models in there. The two I'm most interested in are Cult of Yurei and Ito Clan. Hopefully soon we can expect the cards to be shown on the site so I can see if my predictions are true and what possibilities they bring on the table.

I'm curious how Yugio wil interact his discription has him protecting the spirits and ancestors. While I think he'll most likely be a support model for the Karai, which they really need. Hopefully a model to make the Cult more reliable on the field.

Ito Mizuki will be a favorite of mine for this wave as she'll be the biggest model, probably the most rice heavy and hopefully the best sculpt.


From her discription we can take 3 things. 1. She's a Shugenja. 2. She'll give boons to allies and 3. A gaze that immobilizes.

She might turn out to be a Shisai which would be better synergy wise. And boons will be hard to guess. But her immobilize will mostly be a ranged attack or a line of sight based ki feat.

ImageFor the other factions Temple get another master, great but I think people would like to see more diversity in Temple except for more monks even if they're Tanuki.











ImageWave will finally get their Kaihei beast to support the Kaihei Alpha and Yusha. Hopefully this brings a new theme to the Savage Wave of savage beasts and monsters.

I expect these two, the Alpha, Yusha and the Giant Cave Bat to be an interesting list to play.







Image
Prefecture of Ryu will be getting a priest in the form of Shuichi from the discription players can expect him giving allies armor or toughness and removing poison,fire and control markers.









Image
And finally Silvermoon Trade Syndicate will get..... a bunch of kids. Don't expect these to hold up in a fight, you'll most likely use them for their abilities or as a point filler.

  1. I'm eager to see what the Tanuki can do. The 'Student of Master Akari' card gives the user Crane stance; some added counter-attack options would be fun, maybe?
