Unlocking Alain without playing all of Wrath

[cartmanbeck]

Hi everyone!
So my small group is about to start a playthrough of Season of the Righteous, and I was interested in playing as unlocked Alain using the Paladin deck. I had thought he was unlocked from playing the first adventure, but going back and looking at the PDFs, I realized he is unlocked using the 6th adventure reward. I was sad that I wouldn't be able to use him.. but then I realized that I have a way to do it easily.

I have a Tier 7 bard character who has played through the entirety of Season of the Shackles. This means that, technically, I can use her, play through ONLY adventure 6 of Season of the Righteous, and unlock Alain. She'll be Tier 8 at the end, meaning she can never be played again, but that doesn't really bug me. Am I missing anything here, or is this legit?

I'm interested in the answer, but aren't characters that have completed a different AP considered ready for Adventure Deck 4 of Wrath? The Alain reward might be well-earned at great peril to your bard. If this equivalency holds for the Card Guild Wrath, isn't that a defect in the Tier System?

That's only if you don't use the mythic paths in Wrath (non-Guild) play. If I was to do this, I would bring her over to Wrath, and she would gain one of the mythic paths instantly (I think) because Guild play gives you the mythic path in any adventure deck 2 or above.

Technically, I think you're correct, since the Tiers allow you to hop between Seasons. However, I'd be terrified to take someone into Adventure 6 of Wrath without a Mythic Path. Best of luck!

[edit] I'm horribly unclear on the Mythic Path-ness when swapping Seasons, so I'm not the authority on that.

I figure this character has already played through the entirety of another season, so I don't really mind if I was to try this and fail miserably. And if I play it solo, I can toss in a few of the more powerful characters for her to go along with (Maznar and Enora, I'm looking at you...)

But having the mythic path will make a big difference for sure. Without the path, I'm just not sure if it'd be possible.

FYI: Tanis just replied to me directly that yes, you get to use a mythic path for Wrath adventures 2 and higher when you jump around between seasons. She said she'll jump on here when she has a chance and officially verify. So, it sounds like it works!
