The legacy Assamite (now called Banu Haqim) provide some good clan cards and multiple strategies usually revolving around {{ obf }} for stealth.

The new V5 Banu Haqim {{ banu_haqim }} can be found on a separate page: {{ banu_haqim_page }}. The legacy Assamite {{ assamite_legacy }} builds include quite a few possibilities:

{% endtrans %}
{% call layout.card_column("Loss", decks=32, copies="3-10") %} {% trans trimmed %} A strong bleed action, played in most legacy Banu Haqim decks. The inferior {{qui}} option can also come in handy. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Black Sunrise", decks=29, copies="2-7") %} {% trans trimmed %} An excellent reaction, which actually unlocks - not just wake - the vampire. This can be better as the vampire stays unlocked if he fails to block the action, but being forced to block can be tricky if the goal is to bounce a bleed. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Taste of Death", decks=27, copies="1-6") %} {% trans trimmed selective_silence=card("Selective Silence") %} Worth mentioning as it is the most played {{qui}} combat card, it is still hard to include as excellent range management is necessary to make it work. {{ selective_silence }} is a good option, but two cards and two blood is a high price to pay for it. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Amaravati", decks=21, copies="2-4") %} {% trans trimmed amaravati_politics=link("/archetypes/amaravati-politics"), web_of_knives_recruit=card("Web of Knives Recruit"), alamut=card("Alamut"), the_black_throne=card("The Black Throne"), deflection=card("Deflection") %} The star of the {{ amaravati_politics }} archetype, combined with {{ web_of_knives_recruit }}, {{ alamut }} and {{ the_black_throne }}, he builds up a strong vote lock. Moreover, his superior {{DOM}} gets him bounce reactions like {{ deflection }}. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Yoruba Shrine", decks=37, copies="1") %} {% trans trimmed banishment = card("Banishment") %} An excellent defence against rush actions, but also against {{ banishment }}, an all-too-common option in big capacity vote decks. The cost of 1 pool is fairly low. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Haqim's Law: Leadership", decks=35, copies="3-9") %} {% trans trimmed %} A good action card for bloating. This action makes good use of the many low capacity Banu Haqim one can have in swarm decks. Even just a few copies already make for a good bloat. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("Web of Knives Recruit", decks=29, copies="2-7") %} {% trans trimmed %} An interesting breeding card: it is a bit slow as the new vampire only comes out after 3 turns but, on the other hand, the neonate has the three clan disciplines {{qui}}{{obf}}{{cel}} at basic level and three blood, all for the low cost of 1 pool. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call layout.card_column("The Black Throne", decks=25, copies="1-2") %} {% trans trimmed %} Another cheap vote enhancer, 2 votes for 1 pool is quite worth it. The contract part of the card is seldom used. {% endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% endblock %}
