Loyalty Card - Insects from Shaggai

How to Obtain the Insects from Shaggai Loyalty Card: Pay 2 Doom to obtain this Loyalty Card, plus place an Insect from Shaggai in any Area.
Mind Parasite (Ongoing): All Acolyte Cultists who are not on a Gate, and share an Area with an Insect from Shaggai are Controlled by you during the Action Phase, for only the following purposes:
  1. Only you can Move them
  2. They fight on your side in any Battle

They do not benefit from any Faction's Spellbooks (including yours). They can only be Captured by you if their true Faction permits it. They cannot be Captured by their true Faction )though they could be targeted by a Spellbook or Killed in Battle by them, etc.). Once an Acolyte is no longer in an Insect's Area, he is free. These Cultists are not Controlled by you during the Gather Power or Doom Phases—they provide Power and Doom to their true Faction.

Strategies[]

Eihort: Ridiculous Power Economy. Period.

Gla'aki has an amazing spellbook. He make Cultist Capturing a very viable winning strategy. This strategy would combo very well with the Great Race of Yith and/or Sleeper. You would gain 1 power and 1 Elder Sign for every captured cultist.

Gla'aki's ability, The Tomb-Herd, makes him a great pick for any faction that cycles out their acolyte cultists, such as:

  • Great Cthulhu using Devolve
  • Black Goat using Blood Sacrafice, Summoning their GOO, and Spellbook requirements.
  • Opener of the Way upgrading their Cultists to Mutants.

You can safely cycle your cultists without fear of losing power during the gather power phase. There's a similar benefit when playing with Eihort or Yuggoth, since Brain Cylinders and Brood Tokens replace your Acolytes. If you combine Gla'aki with both of those, your Cultist-sourced power would be upwards of 16.
