= Thoughts on Krueger0 =
==Trivia==
=== Krueger0 in a nutshell===
=== Release ===
Krueger0 brings plenty of control elements and a great gun, that fries infantry. He has bleed power which can keeps him relevant and spellcasting all game even after his warbeast expires and lifelink to survive a bit of attention. Like the rest of the blackclads his defensive stats aren't much to write home about but his kit and cloud protection can make a big difference.
 
Because of Lightning Blade he can also support living warbeast casters like [[Kaya]] or [[Una]] by amping the damage & threat range of key beasts.
 
=== Spell Thoughts ===
* Fleeting Storm - a cloud with a bit of added utility to models inside it. It's slightly paradoxical in it's intent as you need to be behind the cloud to block LoS but inside it to get the range reduction. It is by no means a bad spell but it's not the reason to bring Krueger to the table.
* Lightning Blade - A living warbeast damage buff that extends threat ranges and reminds people of Kreuger1's signature spell. This spell will only have an eligible target in [[Bones of Orboros]] if you take someone who brings a non-[[Megalith]] character beast with them.
 
=== Warbeast thoughts ===
Since he can get fury from non-warbeasts, and since his spells aren't locked to his battlegroup, there's a case to be made that he wants as small a battlegroup as possible. Any warbeast that Kreuger0 might want to buff could probably do better in the main warlock's battlegroup and still get those buffs. So when it comes to Krueger's battlegroup you'll be looking for a beast that provides a useful buff (such as the Moonhound) or has a useful animus that Krueger0 can cast (such as the Gorax) to save on your main warlock's fury.
 
* [[Wild Argus]] - Doppler Bark is a nice animus to enable assassinations. Add [[Shivers]] and you can Doppler 3 times.
* [[Argus Moonhound]] - Mark Target to improve the RAT of Krueger's ranged weapon.
* [[Gorax]] - A cheap animus bot, it also takes Blade well.
* [[Wold Wight]] - A cheap way to get Bleed Power online.
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
* The [[Celestial Fulcrum]] is his Veteran Leader, and is a Construct as well.
* [[Una2]] loves living warbeasts and frequently runs double raptors. One of them can take Blade just fine.
* [[Una1]] - A Storm Raptor run by her can benefit from Lightning Blade, Bird's Eye, Dog Pile and Guardian Beast all at the same time.
* [[Shifting Stones]] - Mainstay Constructs for any Circle army and thus a way for him to Bleed Power.
* [[Mohsar]] master and apprentice have some good synergy as pillar of salt coupled with clouds is a good way to block line of sight. With his arm debuff you can also create a +4 damage swing for 1 beast.
* The [[Storm Raptor]], [[Ghetorix]] and [[Brennos]] are heavy and colossal living warbeasts that see regular play, making them decent targets for Blade. The Storm Raptor also provides +2 to Lighting damage.
* The entire [[Warpwolf]] and [[Satyr]] line up are great targets for Lighting Blade.
* [[Kaya2]] - She is all about beasts, but her only damage buff is Forced Evolution, which is single target. Lighting Blade helps with this.
* [[Kaya3]] - Is also all about her beasts and loves Lighting Blade on one of them to Kickstart a Synergy chain.
* [[Tanith]] - Among free Primals, Lighting Blade and Scything Touch she can crank damage pretty well and does hit-fixing like no tomorrow.
* [[Kromac1]] - Another beats caster.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* In Bones of Orboros he will rarely have a valid target for Lightning Blade. It's limited to just living character warbeasts with their bonded warlocks.
* Match ups like [[Storm Division]] really neuter his effectiveness as a ranged solo.
 
=== Tricks & Tips===
* Bleed Power
** It happens before "any time" abilities. So you can't cast spells and then use Bleed Power to top up your fury.
** It triggers off any kind of Construct, not just Wolds. Heck, it even triggers off a [[Steamroller]] objective (as of the 2021 SR).
** Remember you bleed power after upkeeping so there is less reason to drop upkeeps
* Lifeline can be used on beasts not in his battlegroup.
* Extending a model's melee range does not affect power attacks other than throw (because the others are not tied to a weapon).
 
=Other=
===Trivia===
* Released 2021.10
* Released 2021.10
* Released to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Warmachine, alongside [[Thagrosh0]], [[Madrak0]], [[Makeda0]], and [[Barnabas0]]. Four of them are characters from the 2006 Primal rulebook, and the 5th is Barnabas.
* Released to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Warmachine, alongside Thagrosh0, Madrak0, Makeda0, and Barnabas0. Four of them are characters from the 2006 Primal rulebook, and the 5th is Barnabas.

* Immunity changed to Resistance gamewide
* Lost Lifeline ability
* Lightning Bolg (gun) lost Reload and Electrical Field
* Spell change Lightning Blade to Lightning Tendrils
** Blade restricted to living warbeasts, but tendrils is all FF model/units.
** Blade was +2 Damage/RNG, and Tendrils is +2 RNG/Electro Leap.
* Changes to theme means Krueger 0 loses Sacrificial Pawn
* Fleeting Storm lost the "minimum to 8 inches" restriction on -3 RNG.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Pathfinder
Pathfinder		 This model treats rough terrain as open terrain while advancing. While charging, slam power attacking, or trample power attacking, this model does not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle.

No errata for Pathfinder (Create)

Resistance-Electricity
Resistance-Electricity
  • When this model suffers an electrical damage roll, remove one die from the damage roll.
  • Lightning cannot arc from this model.
  • Lightning cannot arc to this model (ignore this model when determining arcing lightning)

No errata for Resistance-Electricity (Create)

Dual Attack
Dual Attack

This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.

  Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27)
Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range?
Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13)
Explanation: This post is correct.
Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum


  Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10)
Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot).
Answer: No.
Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too.
Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum




Bleed Power		 At the beginning of this model's activation, it gains 1 fury point for each friendly Faction construct Cohort model in its control range. This model cannot exceed its ARC in fury points as a result of Bleed Power.

No errata for Bleed Power (Create)


Lesser Warlock		 This model is not a warlock or leader, but has the following warlock special rules: Battlegroup controller, fury manipulation, healing, spellcaster, and transferring damage. This model must have at least one warbeast in its battlegroup at the start of the game.

No errata for Lesser Warlock (Create)


Weapons

Lightning Bolt
 RNG   ROF   AOE   POW   LOCATION 
10 1 - 11 -
Pistol
Pistol

A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.

  Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17)
Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray?
Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee.
Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model.
