Trashtalk on Lancer (Dustgrave Special): Störtebeker & Viceroy

[@VexWerewolf]

The Viceroy - when Monarch said "don't talk to me or my son ever again," it wasn't a threat; it was a warning.

[@artisan2906]

goddamn SSC can't stop putting TOES on MECHS. FREAKS.

[@KillerOrca]

You take that back or I'm hitting you with all the missiles

[@nathanielranney9163]

Its the first thing i look for now on SSC mechs lol

[@richmcgee434]

Wait till they start putting toes on the toes of their toes. Fractal toes. Toes all the way down.

Everyone's talking about the Viceroy, but noone mentions the fact how well Störtebeker synergizes with caliban's hhs 155 cannibal: It's a heavy weapon that deals damage to an enemy that is close by when reloaded, and you can then use hopkins doctrine to fire two barrels of DOOM every turn.

[@andrewmcclean823]

Steelheart?

[@inquisitorbenediktanders3142]

​@@andrewmcclean823 mistake on my part. It's the 4:11 Hopkins doctrine.

[@peterwhite6415]

Not to mention Viceroy can also benefit from Calibans other toys... like the jetpack burst that gives you overshield.

[@inquisitorbenediktanders3142]

@@peterwhite6415 well, yes, but I mean a very specific thing from one license working well with a different one. A better example for Viceroy would be the mourning Cloaks Vijaya Rockets, an auxiliary launcher wjth range 5.

[@subnerdicafan2823]

I had to read this comment and the stats for the 155 four times over before I understood why this is so ground-breaking. Once I finally understood, I just had to sit there and go wow.

[@hughsmith7504]

The viceroy sounds like the Lancer version of those super mutants that strap mini-nukes to their hands and try to punch you.

[@TheSinBin512]

ONLY ONE OF US IS GOING TO SURVIVE THIS!!!

[@wormwoodbecomedelphinus4131]

TOUCHDOOOOOOWN!!

[@zemyla]

So basically it's two frames that each want ranks in Caliban for one of its heavy weapons.

[@madmalkavian3857]

Before the release of dustgrave I saw the art for viceroy on redit and I'm going to repeat the comment from memory cause it's the funniest thing about this. King: we award you this medal for bravery in the field of battle. Lancer: can my mech have a medal too? King: Wha- Lancer: You heart me. Also I want it to have a cool cape.

[@peterwhite6415]

Honeslty that post is funny and adorable. Also the lancer is cute in that art.

[@rhaaka1506]

At first, I wondered why you would need your ranged attacks to reload your melee weapons, then I remembered Tortuga's pilebunker exists, and now I want to play with a Tortebeker build that Juggles between Bolt Thrower and Catalytic hammer, maybe top it off with a Deck sweeper and siege ram to help get into beatings range. This is why I love Lancer, each new toy causes a resonance cascade of build ideas.

[@thespiderdork391]

this is the one thing about Stortebeker that bugs me. there are almost no Loading melee weapons in the game, it feels weird to specifically tie an alt-frame's trait to them

[@rhaaka1506]

@@thespiderdork391 Well it doesn't tie the whole trait to it, melee still reloads ranged loaders, it just includes it for consistency, plus homebrew I suppose.

[@YumLemmingKebabs]

I'm not sure what Deeprock Galactic has to do with some German pirate, but that was an interesting story.

[@svenabel2987]

The answer is beer

[@FanOfMostEverything]

Speaking as someone piloting a Monarch that maintains careful social distancing, the Viceroy just feels _wrong._ Probably a lot of fun, but it's hard to get out of the artillery mindset.

[@ludovicmercier1364]

I mean basically the best way to sum Viceroy might as well be "what happens when you really want to synergize Vanguard and Stormbringer really hard". Which make me realize that adding Gorgon systems on a Viceroy could make for some *really* nasty combos.

[@thoughtprism2963]

Oh, hello there.

[@thenewal9456]

Yeah same, but I'm gonna try it today because going back to monarch if I don't like it is easy anyway.

[@Attaxalotl]

That Viceroy art has a great look, the DCMS wishes their mechs could look that cool.

[@Hobomice]

Viceroy Is Our Boi! Viceroy Is Our Boi! Viceroy Is Our Boi!

[@ian5395]

Ooooh this makes me think of the Rasputin episode. What a treat that was.

[@ZeRedSpy]

These alt frames sold me on Dustgrave, they're both so cool.

[@ludovicmercier1364]

Thank you a lot for this one; I did find the Stortebeker really curious but couldn't quite wrap my head around it and your video really helped it make a lot more sense for me.

[@Zadanoire]

*Oh my gods imagine Viceroy with the Vanguard and launcher talents*

[@DragonKnightJin]

I don't know. Admittedly, I haven't played the game yet, but Stormbringer doesn't really strike me as a super potent talent, even if you specialize in Launchers all the way down.

[@asdrubalvect6328]

The vibes for Viceroy 3 Tortuga 3 as a LL6 build are fascinating. I'm just imagining the Throughbolt Round Shenanigans with Missile Launchers.

[@franciscoadasilvajr4514]

I think I am in love with Viceroy...

[@adammakey3047]

Stort + Caliban seems obvious but I can also see some good synergy with Nelson. Especially with Vanguard or CQB etc Talents.

[@The.Heart.Unceasing]

the closer you bring a Stort and a Caliban, the louder the Doom music plays.

[@krelekari]

I was thinking viceroy and caliban for the U-RPL getting overkill now that it has CQB for the supermassive weapon mod just mist someone with an airburst launcher from overwatch

[@Sorain1]

Interesting how both of these are takes on combining ranged and close quarters combat in their own ways.

[@theherbertness24]

Oh. I didn't know the Viceroy existed, I've just been loading the Monarch with Vijaya rockets and dumping Agility. Guess I gotta get the supplements after all

[@endlesspotentialenergy6294]

Viceroy is very satisfying 😌 Can go all in CQB or play it as a switch-hitter to great effect. Particularly with the Gandiva in license.

[@DragonKnightJin]

I kinda wanna grab a Viceroy, sink 1 point into Mourning Cloak for Vijaya Missiles, and just go NUTS with the explosives in close quarters. And why not add Vanguard talent on top of it for EXTRA shenanigans?

[@SandroAD]

Ahhhhhh!! Thank you so so much for the Steel Hearts shout out!!

[@electricblackattack]

Yo thanks for putting up Ll these video. I was feeling really uninspired to create a new character for a game and your videos just right about perspective to give me that spark.

[@iamlazycatxP]

Viceroy in general, and you mentioning the "walking srm carrier", reminded me that SRM boating a Catapult is a thing...

The one thing that makes me sad is that we didn't get stats for neither Störtebeker's gunblades or crossbow... Well, time to reflavor throwing knives and hand cannons!

[@ak_sushi4808]

I think the idea is to have a knife and a handcannon in the same mount twice and a bolt thrower as the crossbow all from the Raleigh licence that storte shares.

[@SaneGrove]

Great vid! Any plans to cover ICON rpg, now that the core rules are essentially done?

[@TheCoffeeRobot]

It sounds like the Störtebeker could be able to skirmish three times in a single turn and then move or lock on something thanks to Hopkins Doctrine. Is that right?

[@kennyburkamp4054]

Hopkins doctrine is a quick action so out side it normal move it wouldn't be able to do anything after you use overcharge to skirmish third time but you will be able to use loading weapons every turn along side melee weapons with it

[@TheCoffeeRobot]

@@kennyburkamp4054 Thank you for clearing that up!

[@cyanic3148]

an LL6 completed build would be a Cannibal Storte using 2 tiger hunters, for more chances to crit, there's only the cathammer in official content that's a loading melee now we just need more, and we cookin

[@ballisticm0use72]

Replace the tiger hunters with fold knife for accuracy on your Crit fishing

[@yamazaki752]

I wish I had a clever Venture Bros joke to go with the Viceroy right now, but sadly that would require far too much explaining...

I've gone to Viceroy maining in my current campaign and it's great getting threat 3 on Gandiva missiles with Vanguard, I can just get in someone's business and keep them from leaving unless they're willing to risk double-accurate smart 1d6+3 attacks.

[@doctorj4050]

In memory of Lancer Custom Werks Störtebeker build has to main starting builds what I will call the gunslinger and the vampire slayer. first the gunslinger the goal the build uses 4 hand cannons and a non-loading melee one thing about Störtebeker is that it’s very flexible the heavy slot open can be used for anything and you will be using truesilver to crit with your melee and reload all of your guns and that’s the loop in gunslinger you will probably never use reprise and the talents required are GUNSLINGER 3, VANGUARD 1 and COMBINED ARMS 2 as for the LL dealer choice again Störtebeker is very flexible second build is vampire slayer you use BOLT THROWER and a long melee your choice, but I would recommend war pike this one is all about that one shot that kills the monster, truesilver you will being the damage part not the crit. The damage can’t be reduced is crazy with Bolt thrower and with “ROLAND” CHAMBER you can do 4D6 the can not be reduced to one poor monster the talents are going to be DUELIST 1 and COMBINED ARMS 3. That’s it for vampire slayer every crit with the war pike means you can use Bolt thrower and be hitting for 4D6 and that’s just crazy.

[@allenbroussard1451]

You want the integrated aux mount and a fold knife on the Stort. That extra accurate melee attack that can be fired in combo with other weapons, increase gunslinger die, and give extra mobility is super good. Granted you will want Hunter rank 2 skill as well.

Störtebeker is literally a bloodborne reference, and for shame you didnt make any bloodborne references. I am disappointed. If you make a LCW for Störtebeker, you better make bloodborne references in the frame summary or there will be a Catalytic Hammer rammed up your Blackbeard's reactor (JK this is really good content)

0:60 the fuck you on about? first kappakreig and vitalienbruders isnt even swedish spelling Vitaliebröderna is that spelling and kappakreig sounds more like a slang term in hockey for when you fight over the same puck...i presume its all the german spellings, but the issue this causes is that to us sweds there is no kapakreig, there was conflict of the time is referd to as the First Danish-Hanseatic War. i think that's the one after some searching but if you have a source fell free to send it, no harm meant.
