Succubus

About Succubus

Succubus, Ally, designed by Ken Meyer, Jr. first released in October 1996 in the set Sabbat and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

Succubus would mainly benefit a Tremere antitribu ally or toolbox deck that can reliably pay its 4-pool cost, give it additional stealth, and exploit repeated +1-stealth actions to steal blood or life while threatening aggravated hand combat; the life-for-bleed ability also makes it useful in a bleed-focused build, but burning its life reduces its durability and limits how often it can remain active. In most decks, however, it is too expensive and slow for its modest 0 bleed and 1 strength: Nephandus is generally the better Tremere antitribu ally when you want efficient bleeding, while cheaper utility allies or vampire actions are usually preferable when you want intercept, combat, or blood management. Succubus should see play only in a dedicated ally package or a metagame where its aggravated damage and blood theft are especially valuable; it is not an automatic inclusion in ordinary Tremere antitribu decks.
