Hi and hello to all of you,

im just wondering which monster you use as OL in which szenario of the game. There are so much monsters and i wonder what different tactics you use and which of them drive your heroes crazy.

Maybe theres some kind of "list" which monsters are very well in a specific szenario or something like this?

I take you mean which monsters are better chosen than others, not which monsters can be used in which scenario (there is a PDF listing all the monsters available for each Encounter). If you want to be mean, the choices start with: Can I use the Giant? If yes, then Giant. Assuming you have the CK. Heroes don't have area-effect attacks? Kobolds, kobolds, kobolds. Crazy with Unholy Ritual to boot, even worse with Reinforce thrown in the mix. Act II master Shadow Dragon with Frenzy + Bloodrage = potential 4 attacks with Fire Breath, each capable of doing 8-10 dmg to ALL heroes if they stick together. Until the heroes get reliable skills/equipment for surge creation outside what the dice show, Shadow Dragons are very good even so.

yes, thats what i meant. Just wanted to know what monsters you use and which worked good. Im going to play OL this weekend with friends and they wanted it the hard way, at least thats what they said^^. So in fact im searching for some advice here.

So thanks for the reply. More are welcome!

I know monster cards provide the group info, but out of interest, where can I get a copy of the pdf mentioned?

Thanks! This'll save me looking at the monster cards all of the time.

Hey now, time spent reading/memorizing monsters' stats is time well spent.
