Small standalone characters.

I like splashes personally.

For Multiplayer, because you will have so many people go for you, I think it is better to just put some small strong defense and focuse more on your offense, so you can get more soul that way. Thanks.

I won Type 1 multi at VA State this year with Uzzah, Torment, and Sabbath Breaker as my only ECs and evil enhancements.  56 cards.  I used a White NT female offense with Priests of Christ splashed in for fun.  But a lot of my "defense" was to hinder other players from rescuing lost souls from other players (after mine are gone).  So I had Unholy Writ, Confusion of Mind, Holy Of Holies, Lampstand, Darius' Decree, Asherah Pole and Golden Calf in there too.  In other words, negating the abilities of your opponents' heroes is very cool because it makes it harder for them to rescue from ANYONE.  Any defense larger than 10 cards in multi is probably not going to win, unfortunately.

Finally, I advise against cards that sweep away huge numbers of ECs from multiple territories, like AOCP, A Child is Born, A New Beginning, etc.  These cards get rid of players' defenses OTHER THAN just the opponent you are trying to rescue from.  In fact, I think ignore is the single most important battle-winning ability in T-1 multi, because it leaves that EC standing there to block the next hero's rescue attempt.

Hope this helps in some way.

i have sabbath breaker, kot and try to play defense with grapes and son of god + nj. its smart to have souls that play defense also like nt only, female only, the lost souls, first rounder, luke 16:20-21, luke 13:25 etc. worked for me

I'd say the fbtn LS will make it a lot easier to get LS's in multi.

I like using characters like Gomer and Lots Wife so I can use other people's ECs. If I win, then I stopped a rescue. If I lose, then there's less defense to stop me. 

Then people come using wandering spirit and spirit of temptation that all bands.

I use no defense sometimes. Depends if i can fit it in a 56 card deck or not xp
