    Any ideas what Jumper lvl Z might do?

    (Apsaras in hindu myth are a group of 30-something supernatural dancers, wonder if related)

    I have heard
    1. Acts like a Netrod for you combat group/list (I assume this to mean that you don't lose orders until the dancer is killed
    2. Can transfer stats into remotes ( don't think this is worth the point cost)
    3. Can give a pseudo NWI to unconscious remotes.

    So assuming this is legit:

    So is that all stats (wip + bs) or just 1 stat? Would it grant all 3 bonuses or is this the range of 'realistic looking' speculation currently available?

    this is just speculation I've seen around, and it's three different ideas.

    The description of her is that she's a "Remote handler, improving their tactical skills to the level of elite operative"

    I'm almost certain Jumper LZ involves her jumping into REMs and letting them use her BS of 13 at a minimum.

    edit: that capital R in Remote is accurate to the source FYI

    Honestly, based on what Bostria said on BoW, I'm pretty convinced the T2 Marksman version will have CoC and I think I'm more excited for that (the CoC tankhunter probably won't do much for me other than be a safety net)

    But super Cateran is pretty cool too, I was kinda lamenting what I would do in TAK because I'd gotten very used to having access to 1 Cat in vanilla, problem solved I guess.

    If it is a single remote, I don't know if it's worth 22 points, if it's all, it could be very nasty in a list.

    I would assume, given she's jumping, she can probably move from remote to remote over the course of a battle.

    I'm definitely intrigued by BS13 TR bots, and linked + buffed dakini at BS13 sounds horrifying

    So in Haris she has pseudo HMG on BS13 HI without SWC ?

    Damn, CB "cheating the formula" just went to complete new level xD

    You mean to say, for only 110 points or so I could have a BS13 HMG with reduced rangebands?

    The thing that I would be worried/annoyed about is the price. That's a Medium Infantry with nearly exactly the same stats as the Zuyong.

    I don't see how this is cheating anything. :S

    Compare her stats, weapon and Haris to Kornak:

    I don't see how her pricetag is unreasonable compared to a relatively similar profile.

    Kornak has the frenzy discount, without it he'd be a lot more expensive.

    I doubt we will see any HI, the Yadu & Rudra will be it. And frankly, only the HI Posthumans are better atm (despite their 2SWC cost).

    I think that profile has an * and a note that says "limited to TAK sectorial", so yeah.

    26, I think, equated to the greek muses, and married to the musicians of the court. I was thinking of them as the melee specialists in the OSS, or with some Holoprojector or... But it seems like this time name and meaning are, at best, tangentially connected. Mind you, real "security" protocols go for "use a random name for whatever so there are no clues as to what is it about". In Spain we had an anti-corruption operation called "Pokemon", for example XD

    If she can give her stats to a buffable remote that can also link... we are talking about mimetic, linked Dakinis with possibly Dogged and extra BS... plus Marksmanship. Sure, it is expensive (in points and orders), but the 13pts Dakini goes from annoyance Suppresive Fire roadbump (in generic) to really dangerous rambo/holder of the line...
    Also, Kornak has no Netrods to cheapen the cost!

    I agree.

    As Icchan mentioned, Kornak gets the Frenzy discount. However he gets:

    +6 CC
    +1 BS
    +1 PH
    +6 BTS
    +Strategos L1
    +Courage>NWI
    +Kinematika L1
    +Berserk
    +DA CCW

    Shakti has
    +1 W
    +Duo
    +KHD with useless Sucker Punch (I still hope it's a mistake).
    +E/Marat>LFT
    +Heavy Pistol

    I think the pricing is fair.

    i think you're mixing up a few things here. The unit who can supposedly transfer herself is the Apsaras, right now we are talking about Shakti vs Kornak.

    I also don't know where you know that the Dakinis will have Dogged.

    Also, also Kornak literally does have Netrods. Either Imetrons in vanilla or 4 x 4 point cost Gakis in link.

    Nevermind. It's literally a CGKSCD situation (but at no extra SWC)

    yup, sorry. I was talking about the "supposed" Jumper LZ powers ("possess" or "activate at the time as" remotes, let them use her stats, and give them a dogged state).

    Shakti Vs Kornank is...well, I already say I compare her to Eudoros, so similar thing XD

    If in a Fireteam Link with an Oznat they turn into Regulars.

    I read in the Nordic Facebook Group that it might not be a mistake. The program is not an actual upgrade in of itself but it's because the different programs are actually treated as different skills, unlike "BS Attack". Since she can supposedly link with a Danavas, they would both be forced to brainblast in ARO, as they have to declare the same ARO (which means the same program), this is not to handicap either the KHD or the HD+ if they chose to link.
