A thing I’ve been meaning to say since the board game analogy started:
Being similar in composition to a chess team is actually really good for the Slaughterhouse. One of the reasons chess is such an interesting game is the fact that both players are playing with a really well-balanced set of pieces that work well as a team. The developers of western chess movesets and rules knew what they were doing.
What I think might be the Nine’s weakness is not working all that well as a team, though.
