Chios List Spotlight – Kamil Cieśla

Chios is just around the corner and we are taking a closer look on this year’s Chios lists and a few words from the players themselves! Are there lists that you like or would have approached a different way? Make sure to join us on Discord and let us know!

I am Leo your Conquest Community Manager presenting Kamil’s “#TeamDobraZabawa!“

Kamil it’s really nice seeing you again this year and this Season you have returned determined for that World Title. What are you bringing this year?
 

My Yoroni list is not the best list in the world. It is not even the funniest list in the world. So why did I choose it?

This year, I’m currently #2 in the global ranking, so obviously I’ll be trying to win the tournament. Winning such an event is not only about your best performance – you also have to try to predict the meta and adapt to it. Sorcerer Kings (Fire and Water), W’adrhŭn, and Weavers are in my opinion very powerful, and 14-activation list with a Glorious Charge and so many flanks is a solid answer to Efreets (or Ponies), Wyrd Knights, and Quatls. For the whole year, I’ve been playing the [FU] (birds) lists.

They are great and fun to play but they struggle against these armies, and Chariot spam as well. This Japanese-kind-of-demon list is average against Dwarfs and struggles against triple-Talos lists, but they are not that popular, so I hope I won’t meet them. A year ago, reinforcement rolls betrayed me, as did casting Mahotsu (during the final, 4 out of 5 important spells failed). This year, I fixed these problems: no magic, no risky charge rolls (Juggernaut on everything), and x2 Flank on Heroes. We’ll see how it works 😉

You’re mentioning here a very interesting dimension to Conquest, that the list itself albeit important comes second to understanding the game and exceptional piloting. Understadning the inner workings of a meta especially such a diverse one is critical and we’re excited to see how you do! What was it about Conquest that captured your interest?

Conquest has great models – maybe not all of them – but I fell in love with Yoroni, W’adrhŭn, and Old Dominion. I really wanted to play with a T-Rex, but a friend of mine was quicker and bought W’adrhun before I did… That’s why I can only admire W’adrhun from a distance – on the opposite side of the table! =D

We are certainly happy your friend got to W’adrhun first as this way we get to see some top level Yoroni plays! Pawel and Mateusz, you have faced Kamil on the battlefield before, what do you think about the list?

This Yoroni Army List created by Kamil is true elegant efficiency. We believe that the idea behind this list was deeply calculated, but we are bad at math so we cannot be sure. What we know is that Shikigami are cute. They are also a super important part of the plan that will hold off most of the threats so other pieces can catch them with full strength strikes. What would be better to fulfill that goal than Oyabun empowered Oni with Juggernaut and a sweet Daimyo Warlord Supremacy on top of that? To gain even more presence there are even two modular regiments of Tengu Ayakashi included. Will some “Good Fun” be enough to seize the Crown of World Champion this year? We shall see.

Good fun indeed! A great time will be had in Chios for sure but behind those demonic smiling masks there better be a tactical and calculative mind. Do you think Kamil will pilot his list to victory? Do you think that the Yoroni will win Worlds or are they going to be sent back to the elemental planes by the other Champions? Make sure to read the list below and stay tuned for more Finalist spotlights!
