EMO Done?
So a while ago I started a Vamp team to play for 20 straight games. Given my available playing time, it has taken until yesterday to do it, but do it I have!
Things learnt:
・ Playing one team is fun
・ Playing vamps is fun: Gaze; ST4 AG4
・ I am a minimaxer (3 vamps, 4 rerolls)
・ I can't bother to write match reports after every match
・ I suck at scoring with who I want to - vamp #3 to 16spps :(
For the future:
・ Maybe a fourth vamp when the third gets to 31spps
・ Maybe a fifth reroll
・ Maybe a new team, but will definitely keep the vamps

Well, in an attempt to stop minimaxing, I hired another vampire (first female one) and got a 5th reroll to cope with all the lusts out there. So, 15 players and 1680TV...probably not optimal, and probably time to be ClawPOMBed to a lower value :D

Word of advice, you really really really do not need 5 rerolls. If anything 3 should be enough. You should never re roll a bloodlust unless it is 100% necessary. Will keep your TV a lot lower so you can have more thralls to allow you to win games.

@ Mattius
The minimaxer in me considered no 4th vamp and dropping to 3 rerolls. But, I thought I'd give the more exciting option a try. Perhaps the 5th reroll is overkill and bloat, but I often find I need to reroll a few gazes per match, and have found that rerolling 1st half BLs, even unnecessary ones goes some way towards giving me a decent line up in the second half. My tactics against vamps is to heavily target the thralls, and I assume a lot of others do that, too. Between A7 and BL, the second half can sometimes be pointless. However, if I drop back down to 3 vamps and lose a reroll or two, I can try a full bench of thralls to cope with the pain, so I see the logic in your approach.
Anyway, if it all goes horribly wrong, well, it'll be spectacular ☆

Dropped down to 3 rerolls after 1680TV match vs Brasky's WMD. The game was a blast, especially the last turn! However, I don't think the team will survive many at that level. Am a bit worried about BL though :-/
