Helheim Splicer

obscurica 1317

Helheim Servers and Tennin puts the runner in a pretty easy bind. If they don't run, your agendas advance. If they run, Helheim makes it more expensive than usual.

Even if they run, facing a loaded Gene Splicer hurts.

...and if they don't run, they risk getting blown up by Urban Renewal.

What to do, what to do...

Helheim Tennin sounds extremely spicy and terrifying. I love it.

I'm not totally sure what benefit you are getting out the the Tennin ability... That's not necessarily a problem... Sometimes just the threat of some Tennin nonsense is enough to get the runner to play suboptimally... but at the same time, I'm wondering whether i am missing something.

@SanjayPsychological pressure, yes. Speeding up the scoring server's deployment forces the runner into poor choices.

I did forget to go with Mass Commercialization as an econ card, though, which makes Tennin triggers even better. Should do so with the next build...

I love it.

The fact that you aren't on Mass Comm means you can happily put two advancements on an ice and then they have to start fearing Trick of Light, or put three advancements on an ice and then they have to start fearing all the scary Seven Wonders Weyland ice.

All without you spending card slots on any of those!
