Wanda the waitress

History

“Hands off, or I chop them off!”

Wanda served burgers and beer at the local drive-in. The zombie apocalypse hasn’t changed her routine much; she still has to dodge grabby hands, scoot around on rollerskates and firmly reject inappropriate advances. The new chainsaw is a perk though.

Gameplay

• Wanda is Zombicide’s fastest Survivor. If you need to grab something that’s far away, she’s the woman of the situation. With the two Zones per Move Skill, she travels fast, really fast. And don’t think she’ll have to evade bad encounters: she has what it takes to deal with any Zombie crossing her path.

• Thanks to her extraordinary speed, Wanda is the team scout, opening doors, grabbing objectives, and driving Zombies in the appropriate direction. Slippery is a good choice at the Orange Level, making her difficult to grab by Zombies. Depending on the situation and the mission, she can either choose “+1 Zone per Move” or “+1 free Move Action” on the Red Level. “+1 Zone per Move” offers an unmatched movement speed. With 12 Zones per turn, Wanda can go anywhere and back while the other Survivors are just half way there. “+1 free Move Action” offers Wanda more flexibility. She can take more Movement Actions with less speed, which can be useful on little maps. This “fast Wanda” has no favored weapon. In her scouting role, Wanda counts more on experience points granted by objectives than those gained through Zombie extermination.
Wanda has offensive options too: melee fighting. Her “+1 to dice roll: Melee” combined with her “2 Zones per Move Action” is a priceless combination. Wanda can move to any group of Zombies really fast. When Survivors are stuck in a bad melee, she’s the first to jump in and deliver punishment. The chainsaw is then the best weapon: combined with “+1 to dice roll: Melee” at Orange Level, it gives her a strong advantage in melee. Ma’s shotgun is a good alternative, or two machetes or a katana. Reaching the Red Level, Wanda can choose any of her three Skills. All are useful: of course, “+1 dice: Combat” gives her even more punch, but “+1 free Move Action” can be interesting to move even faster.

• Wanda is maybe one of the most precious members of any team. She can either be the scout, giving a quick end to any objective-driven mission – or be a special force speeding to anywhere she is needed.
