Hurt him more than he hurts you. No Combat Here, incidentally, is the one hole in the scheme I outline. Nosferatu have no defense save Fight Back. However, they are in the second tier of combat clans, so effectively they have no good combat defense against Brujah and Gangrel. Intercept and Rush work the same way as with bleed defense.
Debate consists of making successfully called votes fail.
Note that any clan can use Debate with Surprise Influence and Delaying Tactics. I mention the ones that are good at it. If people like this, I'll write a companion piece on clan combinations and deck design. You can always reach me via email at the address above. Have fun experimenting.
