Reclaimer Gatekeeper

Whether with an enemy's blade or bullet or with the Cinerator's fiery touch, the Reclaimers send the souls of the fallen to the afterlife. The soul energy transferred into them during the exchange can be harnessed to protect them from harm, unleash blasts of spiritual energy, or fuel the divine cortexes of warjacks.

Thoughts on Reclaimer Gatekeeper

Reclaimer Gatekeeper in a nutshell

The Reclaimer serves two roles - first it's the cheap jack marshal in Protectorate, and secondly it hands out buffs - Future Sight or Ashen Veil. To get the most out of it, you'll want an infantry-heavy list that'll keep his soul abilities fueled.

Combos & Synergies

• Repenter - a really nasty spray.
• Redeemer - the three Skyhammer shots can all get the damage bonus on them from the jack marshal as well as from the Choir of Menoth for some really obnoxious shooting, especially if you can somehow knock your target down.
• Sanctifier - yes it feuds with the Reclaimer over souls, but when it throws down after being jack marshaled there are few jacks to beat it.
• Severius2 - Any spellcaster or heavy likes Future Sight, but Sev2 on feat turn can theoretically be rolling damage on 5 feat targets, hit with 4 casts of Ashes, and then 16 damage rolls from Ashes. Future Sight is uniquely efficient here, especially since you can't feat on an important solo twice if you blow the damage roll.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Squishy and doesn't get much work done on its own.
• even in a 2 for 1 deal it’s a hotly contested Req slot option
• Soul denial is not uncommon,and the buffs it hands out are not that good either.
• As a Jack Marshal he lacks a drive and is still easy to kill.

Tricks & Tips

• Stand the Reclaimer close enough to your cannon fodder to collect their souls, but not so close he puts a bullseye on his own head.
