Goblin Mischief

In Melee we T(h)rust Coming in at a whopping 6 melee, the Fencer immediately secures her place as the highest melee stat model in the game. This is also supplemented by a fantastic arcane 5 and a superb evade of -2. As for her other stats, the Fencer has the traditional faeries melee range of 1", 6 wounds, and an incredible 5 energy. As great as these numbers are, it's from the Fencer's horde of passive abilities that we see how this faerie designed for melee will operate. Firstly, she has the standard 'Weakling' as is common with most faeries. As normal this can be removed by Wasp's 'Rage' ability, but weakling isn't usually an issue for this faeries as we'll see when we look at her signature later. Unusually for a faerie, the Fencer has some damage reduction, specifically an excellent -2 against all piercing damage received. Although this seems oddly specific it is very useful in tangent with her signature. On the damage-dealing front, the Fen...

Flimsy Faerie FIrespitter Like most faeries, Foxglove has a poor amount of health but excellent energy and evade stat. They also possess the ever-present weakling passive ability that plagues most faeries and a melee range of 1". From here though it's all good news for Foxglove with a plethora of excellent abilities for keeping them and their friends alive as well as putting some serious magical damage onto the enemy. This excellent damage comes primarily from their 'Atrophy' ability which deals a fantastic 2X Magical damage. It is however held back by a less than great 3 arcane, but this isn't the entire truth for this tricksy fae. Firstly, they have 'Trickster' which will seriously mess with your opponent when they decide whether to call a bluff or not. Secondly, there are many ways to boost the number of cards drawn by other means. In a rogue troupe, this can come from Muridae's passive arcane boost with 'Honour amongst thieves' and Creep...

The rogue keyword has been around since the very start of Moonstone. Initially, it was limited to a few faeries and didn't really have any synergies. At this point in the game though, it's a fully fleshed-out trait with many great models of multiple different races. The latest Dominion box has granted this trait two more models with the gun-toting Claudia Duvel and the devious Creep. So what sorts of troupes can be built around this keyword and how does it operate? Ratman Muridae is a character you will likely want to make use of in all your rogue troupes. With 'Honour Amongst Thieves' he will be able to support your entire troupe by just staying moderately close to them. The +1 arcane stat is hugely helpful to the rest of your rogues as all other rogues have arcane abilities and very good ones at that! His other passive abilities are some damage reduction for magical and slicing against him and a buff to his own piercing damage. The additional piercing damage won't...
