I’ve seen, 10 runics, Red and Brown and 16 Brown/red arcanes. What does mechanist bring? I currently only have archer and sorcerer fully levelled and traited. ---

mechanist last trait is for all mechs to start with half their mana. Niche useful. ---

I don’t think this is the fastest Elspeth/Bombot deck. I have been using the following deck since her release: Elspeth Bombot Bombot Mechanist with Warden’s Gauntlets Double Brown Banner Elspeth targets Mechanist usually, except when there are targets with traited life drain (or some special death effect like Kerberos). In later case Elspeth targets the second Bombot instead. Most of the time the two Bombots get charged the first turn. Warden’s Gauntlet is enough to clean things up in the second case, and slightly faster than Black Manacle, and only brown mana.

Mechanist’s third trait causes all Mechs in the team to start with half mana (including the mechanist if you have the 3rd perk selected). It’s equivilent to giving all mechs the Fast trait. Archer only has it for themselves. ---
