Butcher's Circus: (Mostly) Stress Only Team
0:00 Loadout
0:45 1st match
13:11 2nd match (extremely close)
In my last video I showed a stress-only team with the meat-shield transform abom, but this time I'm wanting to try out a slightly more serious team where I'm allowing my abom to use his full ability set. That being said, pulls and pushes are still common so I find myself still sometimes moving around with the abom to get the hellion/PD into their comfortable positions. This is why I'm trying out abom instead of antiquarian, because he can deal stress damage and move on the same turn, helping to stabilize my team's positioning while keeping the stress flowing. The second match shows that my team can only handle so much disruption though before it starts falling apart and you're forced to waste turns moving your hellion/pd around. I guess this is why they are considered such low-tier characters lol, but I love them all the same.
I could try putting my abom in position 3 to allow him to slam at the start while keeping the hellion in rank 1. My concern with that though is if my opponent goes first and my PD gets pulled right away before I can guard her, then I can't fix my team's positioning without interrupting the flow of stress as my abom will be left in rank 4 and PD stuck in rank 2. With abom in rank 2 instead of 3, he can simply move forward to put the PD back in the backline.
