Which are the best team for search and combat scenarios?

[jcgonzmo]

When you play search scenarios, which team do you use?
When you play Zombie Apocalypse, Defend the manor, which team do you use?

I *always* use random.

We always use random heroes when we play. I find that Jake, Alice, and Stacy work well for search. Victor is my favorite for hand to hand but, Johnny works also.

I always use random heroes too. The best combination that I've ever gotten was Father Joseph, Sheriff Anderson, Rachelle and Jake. It was simply effective - we had two Heroes that searched well, two Heroes with Guns at the start, and someone who could cancel Zombie cards when necessary.

Random - always.

Any game can produce a team of seemingly world beaters only to find cards and dice on both sides don't follow the intended script. The reverse is also true with a seemingly "weaker" team.

When I play the Hero(es), I get greater satisfaction out of:
- Winning against all the odds.
- Generally over-achieving and making a tight and tense contest of it (Win or Lose)
- A perceived "weaker" hero doing something spectacular.

Get a pump shotgun and chainsaw into Jenny's hands, and any Zombie player will tell you she is not a weak hero.
