    So let them dodge and then use your freaking Boarding shotgun with BS 13+6 and make them mince meat.

    you shoudn't be comparing the Liuxing with kaskuda (it was discontinued and baned from existence for a lot of reasons)

    Yup, but you can severely punish lonesome models. Drop it down on a sniper on a roof, or that suspicious marker hugging a corner, etc. I doubt it'll have reservations against dropping on markers and I also think that since a Guijia with the same skill was deemed to be a suicide move to use it most of the time, we're going to have to be more tactical with our glorified Zuyong.

    I do note, however, that a fireteam is particularly funny to drop on. While each model only has 1/3 of dying, the fact that you deny their Hacker from using Hack Transport and their Boarding Shotgun from shooting you since that'll deny dodging. Just don't drop on all of them, if you can clip one or two and stay out of LOF of the others, that might be enough.
    And I'd seriously prefer a Boarding Shotgun on this dude over a Spitfire or other SWC weapon.

    Nah... "Cant have nice things" applies to both the super-powers (or if you want to get philosophical; the particular faction that the person saying it plays as main)

    As I had heard until now, all those skills were designed during invincible design and have proven to be too good to be only of Invincible. so they have given lesser versions, in terms of usefulness, to other factions

    You can't place templates in markers, you need at least one real enemy trooper on the template to include the marker... and of course they could be mines...

    Nah, a couple of years a go when JSA was still Yujingish, they've gave us a lot of cool and interesting "to good to be true" stuff.

    It's time for them to compensate us from the uprising

    TBH I think his best application will be to locate and punish obvious LT, especially if your opponent has been greedy and picked a squishy one.

    Assuming they dodge and spread out, you're going to get pounded in return. You'll trade about a 6th of your army for one Fusi, which shoot back at BS18 with 2 shots.... It's a shit trade.

    It's Explode Level X, it's going under the Explode rules. There's a good chance just like Kuang Shi's explode it doesn't give a shit about who it hits, friendlies, markers, anything. There's no targeting involved for explode.

    1- that's asuming none of the fusiliers die or get out of the fireteam due to diferent AROs or their change of facing... and of course we don't know what else will have this HI

    2- We don't know if what aplies to explode is going to apply for explode level X, it's not an auto include, and they'r not exactly the same rule

    Considering it is likely ExplodeX activates where ever the Liu Xing lands, it would make for some complicated rules preventing it from hitting markers considering Dispersion.

    Explode on the shooting star is just hilarious, and might just be good enough to make combat jump more interesting than airborne infiltration. And yeah dropping it on a fireteam is just a suicide move that might not even pay-off, i've seen my fair share of poorly deployed teams surviving a chain rifle/flamethrower hit to not rely on one. At best you should try to kill a lonely guy on a flank, just to make an efficient use of your order.

    Talking about orders, the new rules look lovely. The extra irregular order is shown with what i believe is a sogarat, so i guess the mowang might get it, and i totally expect the Daoying to have one too if it is indeed the fast response unit i think it is.

    Strong lieutenant options with chain of command to use them properly has always been one of Yu-jing's thing, so if any faction should ever have optimised NCO and Lt L2 options it's us. NCO zuyong HMG seems to be a given, and replacing Hac Tao's executive order with NCO might be a good idea. I think either Shang-jì or Haidao would be good candidate for Lt L2 and chain of command.

    It isn't Sogarat, but Suryat.

    Yes, it's absolutely a Morat Shang- I mean Suryat. Wouldn't it have made more sense / be more useful on Sogarat? Nothing prevents both getting it, of course...

    Explode x will be great for shutting down puppet masters if they are not indoors. To busy playing fornite to not get sat on by the falling fatboi.

    Tactical Sense is appropriate for IA - they need order efficiency outside of links. I'm still pretty non-plussed about it featuring on Suryats for MAF, who are only taken in links :/

    With the best gun in the game. Old HMG profile was 0-8/+0, 8-32/+3, 32-48/-3, 48-96/-6.

    Slam the Drop Bug down on someone so that they eat the explosion, more or less in the corner of the opponent's DZ and roll up the entire flank.
