Gudrun the Wasted

File:Mercenary Logo.jpg File:Minion Logo.jpg

Template:FH2

The Claiming has come and gone, and Gudrun slept through the entire event in a drunken stupor. Waking up to a ruined world, Gudrun found himself burdened by an unshakable guilt. Had he gone on a bender so powerful it broke the world? With no one around to tell him otherwise, Gudrun swore off drinking and began to wander the wastes in search of answers.

During this journey, Gudrun discovered the wreckage of an old scavenger crew and came into possession of a strange mekamaul arcane artifact. The power seeping from the relic was addictive but volatile, agitating the ogrun even as he grew more reliant on its power. Confused and angry, Gudrun continues his search for survivors…and answers.

Thoughts on Gudrun2

Gudrun2 in a nutshell

With a 15/16 stat profile vs ranged attacks and magic attacks. Add in 8 hp boxes and Gudrun2 is a tricky to kill support solo, who can get involved in the fight and do a lot of damage in the late game.

His biggest downside is that if an opponent knows what he does they are unlikely to feed him extra tokens by targeting him. Having him stand near shield guards who eat aoe's or using abilities like Sucker! or Sacrificial Pawn is a way to mitigate this but it is an issue.

Combos & Synergies

• Disciples of Agony and Secret Masters theme forces run minion heavy and grant faction models sac pawn - allowing you to top up Gudrun2's tokens a bit more reliably, bonus points for Disciples where the Paingiver Task Master grants no knockdown.
• Pretty much any model that is liable to be shot of the board and has decent enough DEF for his Kinetic Distortion to matter.
  • You can double up on the ranged defense module by passing off concealment to something you want to protect as well. Swamp Gobber Bellows Crews or Veil of Mists is great for this. The trenches granted by the Vengeance of Dhunia theme also grant a stackable DEF buff against guns.
• Gorten and Gunnbjorn1 both have Rock Wall. Parking something in the Kinetic bubble and behind the Wall and enjoy +6 DEF against shooting. Even Rhulic heavies become dodgy as hell under these parameters and an Earthborn Dire Troll reaches obscene amounts of stats.
• Malvin & Mayhem can offer cover as well.
• Balthazar Bamfist can put Force Barrier on Rhulic models, which stacks with Kinetic Distorsion and cover/concealment.
• The Wastelander loves any buffs to his DEF against shooting so he can deflect bullets more reliably.
• Azazello's feat helps him with suitability and damage and Gudrun helps him with his anti-gunline shinanagence. Riposte also means you will likely gain 1 power token, hit or not.
• Trollkin Champions in Vengeance of Dhunia have good DEF already and take very well to and DEF buffs your warlock has. Kinetic Distortion on to of that makes them very hard to shoot.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• In order to collect tokens he needs to be in melee, with a statline of 13/16 he will die quickly there though.
• Assuming you get a Cleave attack off, you can only collect two tokens per turn, and with his statline there will likely be no next turn for him.

Tricks & Tips

• Stick a shield guard b2b with him and try to eat some AOE attacks to stack your power tokens, an Ogrun will laugh off blast damage.
