Review: by Rogueborg

Why does a person from Russian lore appear in Horrorclix? The answer is simple, his (alleged) actions earn him that place.

Reading the future by using chicken intestines is always a nice way to scare people. Manipulating the Tsar by killing “wrong” people scores bonus points :D

Rasputin is a crossroads clix witch means he has 2 sides to choose from.

The first is his occultist legend priest side.

On this side he comes equipped with a dial full of agony (all 5 of them). Allowing him to do 5 damage with 1 blow for the first 2 clicks. After that he has 2 damage for the rest of his dial. His defense begins with 17 but drops steadily (1 defense per click) to a 13. If that wasn’t bad enough, he also has the maniac power which drops his defense by 1 for every action token he has.

Rasputin has excellent attackvalues beginning with two 11’s en two 10’s.

Rasputin has a good 6 range but you really want to use the agony, and that doesn’t work at range.

His speed is steady, but alas a little low (4), which hampers his agony, as he cannot frenzie very far.

But luckily, Rasputin has another side. The Vampire Occultist Hellspawn side.

Most weaknesses of the first side are remedied. He loses agony, but gains base damage for the bigger part of his dial, so his range can be used without conflicting with agony. His low speed is upgraded to a 6 which is very decent.

Rasputins’ defense has been raised as well, but still has the maniac power.

To offset his short dial (only 5 clicks) this side has Vampiric. That together with 2+ damage values means he can suck the life out of every opposing figure.

Both dials gain a +1 attackvalue against hellspawns and spirits, but that is just icing on the cake, because both sides have very high attack values.

An added bonus of using Rasputin is his +2 plot twists.
