This is an attempt by me to make a list that causes willpower to be reduced and fall backs
mainly since I usually face Guild. Myranda and the Sabertooth take advantage by using
multiple roars. Kaeris and gunsmith have been useful vs the occasional Hoffman constructs.
and tend to do some good range damage/aoe

ideas or feedback welcome

Besides the obligatory "pick any other master in the game, marcus is the only one who is legitimately bad" i would say that fear tricks are done better by either rezzers or neverborn, they might be better fits if that's the playstyle you're looking for.

Then I'm intrested in you're tactic against Perdita's "Immune to Influence"

forgive the marcus haters, for they know not what they do.

Marcus' howl and stare down only work on beasts (if i recall the cards correctly) so you'll need to turn the enemy into beasts, and currently only Marcus can do that in this crew. Raptors can do this for you too with their trigger so I'd reccomend them if you want to maximise the reduction in Willpower.

Terror will work on Perdita as its a morale duel, so immune to influence will not work. But with hoffman there is no point as constructs are non-living. So this list is pretty situational (living only, so Perditas crew, gremlins, can't remember off-hand if death marshalls are living or undead)

I've seen or played most of those pieces other than Marcus himself, and feel like the list will also play well as objective grabbers, so, (I'd say) you've got objectives and psychology taken care of... I'd try to fit in a little more raw fighting power, though.

Also, agreed about the Raptors.
