IDK.. EB are just AD1, ZC are way too much expensive. Heliots are nice cheap ARO on the other hand. UPD: must admit I love EB's weapon loadouts, looks promising.
No, Parachutist you have to select board segment during deployment. AD2 you choose segment when deploying.
Helots are very interesting. Shame they're only AVA 1 in vanilla. Kind of just 'whelmed' by the others. THey're not bad by an means but in some way, they feel like more of the same. I hope the additional pt cost of all this aquatic terrain is worth it in the next ITS season.
Zulus look pretty underwhelming to me, for really few extra points you can get a Crocmen with better stuff. Echobravos are decent, Helots really interesting and will provide very good deployment zone defence. Looks cool, the sectorial chart also seems to have many mixed links options.
I don't know if you know that camo + FD1 and Combi breaker is a brutal thing (on BS13). You are better than a K1 against Ariadna.
There's some redundancy in Jammer and Sensor. All three leaked profiles look really interesting. If decoy is 2 extra troops that don't do anything, then you can put out 3 MSR Helots, and your opponent can guess which one will shoot back. The rest is really good for shorter range lane control. We actually got interesting weapons, specialist with good weapons, combi + LS and specialist looks pretty nice on the AD troop. Cool stuff all over the place.
That LRL Helot... just wow same for the Echo Bravo LRL + BSG ...or both troops in general, amazing. Zulu Cobras look great as well, yay for BS13.
Sure thing but having mines, infiltration, x-visor, TOcamo and repeater for extra 6pts. looks like a better choice for me. In vanila similar fighting role is fulfilled by a Locust (again infiltration, odd, d-charges, no marker state tho). A great thing about Zulu KHD profile that it opens a fighting Hexa in vanila.
I was more refering to a fact that Ariadna usually has 0 BTS. K1 issue (on "combis") we have already discussed in Aleph section.
Goddamn, the ZC Lt is even worth the vanilla SWC tax. Marker state and a Jammer. (and B4 triangulated fire!)
