Wyrd Games games have now previewed the second half of The Undying Encounter Box. Let’s take a look and learn a little bit about Minako Rei and her Katashiro.
The second half of The Undying has been revealed and Minako Rei looks like an awesome addition to their hit game Malifaux. Let’s look at who she is and what her role is in this new encounter box.
Minako Rei is the last surviving member of the Order of Balance, whose job it was to hunt down the corrupted sorcerers who used their magics to feed on the souls of peasants, using the energy to extend their lives. After her Order was wiped out by the traitor, Manos, she became single-minded in her pursuit of the Jiangshi and the evil Manos.
On the table, Minako Rei is a force to be reckoned with. She is able to use kharma to seal another’s fate, causing an enemy to suffer any damage that Minako herself suffered. Perhaps most notably, Minako is able to create the Katashiro that she uses to aid her in her mission.
She can also create the Katashiroin in the heat of battle to help her gain the edge she needs to overcome the evil soul devouring magic of Manos.
The Katashiro are paper creations brought to life with magic. They are able to attack immediately upon being summoned or placed, and they are able to turn into origami cranes to place themselves in new locations. As constructs and Oni, they can find a home in many Ten Thunders crews.
This box set just got three times more exciting! The Undying looks like it will be a smash hit for Malifaux players across the globe. It is a great time to be playing this great tabletop wargame, and this new encounter box might be just the thing if you are looking to join the ranks of players who already enjoy this awesome game!
