Gearloc How to Play - 08. Stanza

[@KSpllr]

Undertow was my introduction to TMB and Stanza intimidated me immensly. Took me some time to understand how to play her, so its awesome to have this video to make it easier for other people to get this amazing gearloc to the table. And who could be a better choice for this than Liz? Great video, thanks a lot ! 🤗

Liz, I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd appreciate the Stanza guide. You're a gem! Hope the holiday season is treating you well.

3:00 Regarding: "And you also deal with your songs at the start of the turn, just like when you select and roll dice, that is also the time for Stanza to decide what songs she wants to start, advance" I believe that is incorrect? Songs happen in step 1 of turn. Non-song Dice selection in step 4, non-song dice resolution in step 5. Gearloc's Turn Sequence: 1. Start of Turn: (This is when songs are started/advanced/vamped [both selected and resolved]. For certain songs you also have to choose Target on step 1) 2. Move 3. Determine Target 4. Select and Roll Dice (This is when other dice are rolled) 5. Resolve Roll (This is when other dice are resolved) 6. Baddies React 7. End of Turn

Great timing! Just got Undertow for Christmas

[@warpo007]

wow, great timing Liz!!! I had Stanza out today for the first time. And I'm no veteran at TMB as it is.

[@wimverwerft8730]

Great video as always!!!

[@ChadUrsoMcDaniel]

Great, detailed video, as usual for one of the more unique Gearlocs. I thought Stanza's luitar was her "axe" both as pun with an electric guitar nickname of the same and also, (to me) she clearly has a blade embedded on the luitar.

[@JRimala]

Yup! Her reference sheet even stated this explicitly 😄

While playing Stanza today I ran into a rules question I haven't been able to answer online, so I hope someone here can help. I started my Stanza turn advancing Breaking of Daelor, where I had to pick my target and damage it. My target was defeated. Could I have switched targets for the rest of my turn, or was I just targetless until my next turn?

[@victorgonzalez2927]

She is by far the most complicated Gearlock in TMB.

But how do I get the song die into the slots

[@perennialcoma]

If I roll one of her songs, do I gain the Focus and the effect, if the die shows and effect, and does it thereafter get exhausted?

[@stephenscott6901]

I am curious about the dice tray you are using. Where can a person get those?

[@damongott2409]

This was a fantastic explanation of Stanza, though I'm a bit confused on her song Second Chances. Do the bones the song offer stack, or is it just giving you 1 free bone for as long as you play it?

[@ChipTheoryGames]

Every time the song reaches a bone side it will place a bones from the available Atk/Def Die supply into the backup plan of the affected unit(s). Those bones will remain with the affected unit(s) until they are used. So Stanza could accumulate 4 bones by the end of this song if she doesn't use any while it's active.

[@damongott2409]

​@ChipTheoryGames thank you so much for the clarification!

[@ИванФедоров-ф9ч]

I have a question about Under the Old Zelfey dice! Step 1: Stanza gets 1 Buff HP and she didn’t lose it until her next turn. Step 2: Stanza advanced her song and heal everyone for 1 HP. But what’s about 1 Buff HP? Should Stanza remove it from prep area because there are no any more dice in Active slots that give her Buff HP?

[@ChipTheoryGames]

Buff HP is not lost when switching die faces.

[@LuferCCGnRPG]

What happens if I roll a song for focus and roll the vamp side?

[@ryanrhinoceros2123]

Do Ghillie next!

Shes seems extremely slow to have sugnificant impact. Multiple tuens befor you can disble a 5 point etc. you will be mostly dead by then.lol Maybe im missing somethig with her.
