Flanking with Lord Vorunthul

By escutcheon, in Runewars Miniatures Game

The question is: in what scenarios would you choose a blue die while flanking with Lord V, immediately after transforming into Cursed?

For example, you may want to go for a surge to unlock Brutal 3, and then depend on the white die for a hit for 4-5 damage.

Alternatively, you could take Fortuna's to guarantee a hit-surge, or Reaping Blade since you lack Precise.

Bearing in mind he is Lethal [stable], which I completely missed before.

Thoughts?

It's the brutal you're going for. Red-red-white will give you an average of 2.25 hits and a 34% chance of gaining brutal 3 instead of 2. Blue-red-white will do an average of 2.0 hits and a 64% chance of brutal 3.

Of course, this doesn't reflect any upgrades or artifacts he brought with him, which may affect which approach you want to take with him.

Hang on, I forgot you lose 1 die when doing this. It's going to depend heavily on what upgrades you brought along with him, but I would probably just go for the red die and not worry about surges unless you luck into them.
