How often have you used the succubus offensively? Hex bolt is decent, but I've never had an instance of using influence. If someone got to use it, I'd love to hear how well it worked.

I had to use a Hex Bolt to shoot one of my own models in the back to clear a path for a deathstalker. It was a really awkward turn.
But yeah... Usually it's just blizzard and free upkeep.

My Vayl2 oracles list uses a bloodseer, which makes her scary accurate and dangerous. I find myself using her a good bit for offense when she is +2 to hit.

I often use her offensively with pLylyth. Unfortunately every time I choose influence the attack miss But hex bolt regularly kills me an important model, or finishes an heavy. I don't know exactly, maybe every other game ?

I have - I keep an eye out for it. Typically it is not earth shattering but when you can get one those Khadorian Bear 3 man super unit to get a back strike on the buddy just in front of him... it was free removal on a high armor target. Depending on the unit, it nets me a much safer route than Hex Bolt.
Note, most of the time it is a free upkeep and blizzard though.

In the last game I played against a friend, I left his Mountainking on 2 boxes, with only my succubus left to activate. With Arcane Ward on the MK, I could not Hexbolt him. So I used influence on a Champion, hit him, had him attack the MK, hit and killed it ^^ So the one time I used it, it was immensily effective I would not expect anything like that to happen ever again though ^^

I once had a friend cast influence with his succubus on one of my banshees and kill 4 members of the squad with a spray in the back... I was very jealous

I swear you guys need to give the bloodseer a chance, he is amazing in OoA and turns random models up to 11.

Can slam, trample, charge, cast animi of other warbeasts (lol casting animi). His +2 to attack rolls for spells is definitely undervalued, but i think that has more to do with a relative lack of playable spellcasting. People don't take Hex Hunters, and are down on BFS and Ice Witches. Throne is a baller though. Also outside of Vayl we don't really have any spell assassins.

No trample since it's a light beast, but yeah I agree.
