Favorite character?

By Guest, in Talisman

How strange that I can no longer edit the post.

I keep mixing up the Druid and Sage all the time(they kinda look alike). So the druid didn't actually appear out of the blue in our game. Same old sage.

Thank you for that clarification!

Your games sound quite lively!

Currently, my favorite characters would be all the ones in the Dragon expansion. At first we thought they'd be overpowered, in comparison to the base ones and those in other expansions but actually, they're not, and they're very fun to play.

We've only restricted the Conjurer's ability to summoning regular adventure cards. So no summoning from the Dragon deck for her.

The Gypsy has the most wins in our games.

I like the Sprite, but don't get her very often anymore with all the new expansions adding characters. When I have her people call her 7up and when she turns evil she's Diet Sprite :) )

Me and my friends usually draw three cards (drawing one card for each player, then repeating two more times).

After some games, I usually select characters I haven't played as before.

But the most successful character has been the Dwarf, who has won every game that he's appeared in (4 so far).

A new strategy has been suggested - if someone is the Dwarf, confront that character in battle!

(Dwarf's chances depends on another player being the Chivalric Knight with higher strength, or the Dwarf turning good and another player is the Knight).

I like the Minstrel and the Valkyrie probably about the most

I hope this is not thread necromancy……. my favorite Characters : 1. Amazon

2. Minstrel

3. Leprechaun

4. Cleric

5. Tinkerer

6. Minotuar

The Amazon's movement and ability to refight are just awesome. I think she is top tier. So far, out of 85 games played by my group she and the Dragon Rider are tied for the most victories with 7. I wish I had thought to keep a record of how frequently each Character gets played.

Our Game Club initially would retire characters once they were played thus giving every character a turn. We did this until we got down to just a handful of the weakest that none of us were excited to play! Since then we hand out 3 or 5 characters to each player from which you choose.

My favourite right now?

It would have to be the Tavern Maid. That might be the novelty of a new character and may change but I found her abilitlies to force pour a drink on opponenets to be MOST useful! She has certainly been a force to reckon with in our games.

Dark Cultist (20), Assassin (17). Alchemist (14), Amazon (13), Conjurer (12), Warrior (12).

The best characters (winning most and hardest games) seem to be 1: Chivalric Knight, 2: Dragon Priestess, 3: Sprite, 4: Ogre Chieftain, and 5: Prophetess.
