Critical Ghillie Details
Traps
Ghillie's traps are unique and function differently than most Skills, as they are placed before battle and do not cost Dex to roll.
- Placement - Traps must be placed on Battle Mat positions before the BQ is created. These can be placed on any position, and more than one trap may be placed on the same position. Remember, any unit entering that space will "trigger" the trap (including Party Members).
- Triggering - Traps are rolled after they are "triggered." A trap is triggered when a unit first occupies the position where the trap is placed. Baddies cannot target or avoid traps.
- If a trap is triggered during the initial Battle Mat setup, finish placing all Baddies onto Battle Mat before rolling any traps that were triggered. If multiple traps were triggered, Ghillie may roll (and follow its instructions) for each trap in any order (sometimes creating a multi-trap combo). Traps remain on the Battle Mat until triggered. Traps are Exhausted after use.
- Hidden Rut - This trap will stop a Baddie in its tracks. To effectively use Hidden Rut, try placing it in front of a Melee Baddie. The higher the Baddie Pt, the lower chance of this triggering successfully. If the roll is higher than or equal to Baddie Pt, the trap is successful, and the Baddie stops moving. If the roll is lower than the Baddie or it is triggered by a Party Member, the trap is Exhausted with no effect.
Pets
If learned, Ghillie may roll his Pet Dice during his turn (1 Dex each) to attempt to "call" them onto the Battle Mat (placed on an adj/diag position to Ghillie with its # HP underneath). Each Pet Die side varies a little in HP, Atk, and some have a Dex cost (of 1) that must be spent at the start of Ghillie's turns to keep the Pet in play. If Ghillie does not pay the Dex cost, the Pet is Exhausted immediately.
All 3 Pets are considered Companions (can be targeted by Baddies) and use Melee Attack Form. Each Pet takes its own turn, right before Ghillie. When it's Ghillie's turn on the Ini Meter, Pets take their turns in whichever order Ghillie chooses. On its turn, each Pet may move up to 2 positions (does not cost Dex) and perform an auto-attack of # Dmg (also does not cost Dex) to an adjacent Baddie. Ghillie may have more than 1 Pet on the Battle Mat at a time! Also note, Ghillie's Command Skill is used on Ghillie's turn, prompting a Pet to act immediately. If a Pet loses all its HP, it is Exhausted. If Ghillie is KO'd, Pets are removed from the Battle Mat immediately.
Each Pet has 1 Skill that makes them unique. Check these out under Pet Skills below.
Camo
Roll this Skill when acquired and keep in a Locked Slot until used. Ghillie must keep rolled result. Ghillie may use (and Exhaust) Camo when facing a battle Encounter with BQ: Baddie Pts.
Innate and Innate +1
- Innate - Scout: Before battle, reveal a Baddie in any Active Stack. Ghillie may cycle it to bottom of stack.
- Innate +1 - Scoutmaster: Before battle, reveal up to 2 Baddies in their Active Stacks. Ghillie may cycle them to the bottom of their stacks.
Beginner Build Strat
- Stats: Ghillie needs at least 1 Def to start off with. Get HP up to 5-6. Then switch to Dex so he can keep up with his Pet maintenance. Atk is then his focus, especially for longer Adventures.
- Skills: Grab a Pet unless there is a full party. Also, Woven Snare is a nice trap debuff. Then pursue Marked Enemy for big Dmg that will aid Ghillie or his allies. If he goes heavy on Traps, make sure to pick up Brute Buster for more control over triggering them.
Effect Dice Definitions
- Bleed Effect - This unit takes 1 True Dmg at the start of its turn (lasts entire battle).
- Stun Effect - This unit loses its next turn (negative Effects still apply).
- Terrify Effect - This unit may not target any units with Skill: Terrify (remove Effect at end of this unit's turn).
Pet Skills
- Talon has Flight - At the end of this unit's turn, place a Flight Effect Die on it, or if this effect is already there, remove it. While in Flight, this unit is Untargetable.
- Growls has Lashback 1 - Any turn this unit is damaged by an adjacent opposing unit, this unit will then do 1 Dmg back, so long as it was not defeated.
- Lil' Yeti has Hardy - Any turn this unit takes Dmg to its HP (including True Dmg), total is reduced to 1.
