Victory Conditions
| Victory Condition | Iyanden 4.2.3 | Salamanders |
| 1. Blitz | NO | no |
| 2. Break their sprit | NO | NO |
| 3. Defend the Flag | Yes | YES |
| 4. Take and Hold | No | no |
| 5. They Shall not Pass | NO | no |
The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio and is the best way for the future of the list.
The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. Although lacking a FF limited their use.
The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…I believe this is not need but, others may think differently..
I think the points cost in the list a pretty spot on and so I don’t see the need to change points.
