Nice list

Everyone has his own taste.

 

 

Basically it should be:

Weak Characters:

Ghoul, Priest, Sprite, Monk, Dread Knight

Characters I really hate!

Magus!!!

I don't hate the magus, but he is boring as hell..

At least the Dread Knight and the Monk gets some love from me

Reply #93 | Published on 21 March 2011 - 10:18:08

 But I need to be honest, there is one thing i like in Magus - its minis. I'm frequently using it, because I'm be able to pick someone's eye when using it. 

True, You love Monk and Ghoul more. And I've noticed that we toghether like to play as Knight and Elf

haha

The opponent will not pay attention to his own character

I have no love for the ghoul, but Monk is oke for me. Getting always a +3 strength  is very good for a craft based character such as the monk

But i rather play with the Knight and the Elf indeed

I have not win with the elf yet

I must  take my revenge..

 I like to play as Elf, because possibly he is the weakest Talisman Character ever. Even Ghoul can at least revive his dead friends or Monk gets that +3 to S. And Elf only can teleport whithin Outer Region. He is not even able to enter Middle Region. Knight also needs special walking all around the Temple tactics.

I've never win the game using Elf or Knight either, even when I had the time when I was playing as them in many games in a row, while the rest friends randomly drawn their Characters.

I wish someday our Elf will win the game..........

Yeah, good luck with that . Str 2, you better keep them as trophies and boost up. Especially since, being a base game character, he can only use one raised follower per battle.

That's all he needs to do!

For me, Elf is #2 after the Troll as far as base game characters go.

A dirty mind is its own reward.

---------------------

Dragon Hunter, Dragon Rider, and Conjurer are first choices for me..

Although, i must see how usefull the dragon rider is.

But we can assume that we see more dragons in the game now...

Minotaur looks pretty balanced, and his stampede ability makes his good and fun to play.

Fire wizard is a average character for me, and he can easily survive long enough, thanks to his pyroblast.

Conjurer can benefit from many cards. No trouble anymore for landing on a specific card. a very very good character!

 i like fire wizard. but he needs dragon scales in the game. then with pyroblast ability you can scare your opponents and help them to be killed :-) Other path is to draw red and yellow dragons and collect scales for further improvements. Adding ability to gain spells and cycle them - very nice char with different angles

my best, gedasm

Perhaps the Priest needs a small upgrade?!

Maybe that the priest needs a ability that he may fight with his craft in battle instead of his strength

I have place the Druid and Sorceress in the top 4 row.

 I am not so interested in the Druid anymore . Maybe this change in the future when we get a forest board.

And Sorceress is a bit boring to me. I think i will never pick her..( I rather play with a Courtisan

I only have the Reaper expansion, but the one character that I still like enormously is the Ghoul. He might be be a bit weak, but I just have a soft spot for zombies :) 

Otherwise there's the Dark Cultist, though she's sometimes a bit overpowered. I also like the Sorceress, but she's only good when there's at least 4 players.

The guy I honestly think who sucks bigtime is the Assassin.

 

Spell check failed - not enough mana
