Jack’s winning Harlequins was a two-detachment setup, with the first being a battalion led by a Shadowseer for Psychic support and a Troupe Master to buff nearby troops.

Speaking of troops, there are a total of 51 Troupes to man the transports and march up the board!

Elites have a single Solitaire for a melee threat, and transports bring in five Star Weavers to carry some of the Troupes.
