Déjà Vu, or: Hel is Other Servers

Xyptero 130

Hang on... I could swear I passed that ice just a moment ago...

Drag the runner through the same piece of taxing ice 2-3 times a turn, then boost it out of breaking range with Helheim Servers for a kill.

Game plan

Notes

  • Helheim Servers' strength boost lasts until the end of the run. Strengthen Saisentan or Anansi higher than the runner can boost their breakers, and the Sisyphus loop will kill them.
  • NGO Front is prime bait for a Helheim kill.
  • DRM is an awkward way to find Regenesis or a Regenesis target in the late game, when the runner is broke and can't do anything about it. It's also a great way to bait the runner into a Helheim kill.
  • SanSan is an extremely taxing trashbait fork that'll often take two turns to clear. Leave it and I can FA Regenesis from hand; trash it and you can't afford to break into my scoring server again next turn.
  • Hansei Review is a great way to get Sisyphus Protocol or Bacterial Programming into Archives without raising suspicion.
  • planning to burn most of your ice rather than rez it is great. Toss that Sadaka down on the wrong server. Play that third Vampyronassa. Every ice in your deck remains useful, no matter what it is or when you draw it.
