Really awesome options for a core link in this sectorial. From going heavier on the Zuyongs to going much much lighter and using bounty hunters to fill the link out. How are you building your Zuyong link?
This is what I used last week and I really liked it. I think depending on the points or the mission, i'd changed out the FO Zuyong with Miranda for a specialist. I don't really like Valerya only because I don't want the rest of the team vulnerable when she hacks. However, she will benefit greatly from the Tinbot B! The Rui Shi is awesome and I think will be something always taken. ZÚYǑNG Lieutenant (AutomediKit) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife.

That's the squishiest a Zuyong fireteam can get lol. That said, this particular team was built with a Ghulam Doctor+ in mind. ZÚYǑNG Lieutenant (AutomediKit) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife.

(0 | 28) There's also a bulkier version that still features Sforza simply because I love the idea of using a linked ADHL ARO piece. RUI SHI Spitfire / Electric Pulse.

This is something I'd like to test: 5 ZÚYǑNG Lieutenant (AutomediKit) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (1 | 39) ZÚYǑNG Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (2 | 36) RUI SHI Spitfire / Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20) BOUNTY HUNTER Submachine Gun, Akrylat-Kanone / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) BOUNTY HUNTER Submachine Gun, Akrylat-Kanone / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) 4.5 SWC | 119 Points Valerya would be near to reform the team, should something die (and she buffs the little meat grinder REM)
Personally I like just a single active turn high burst shooter in my links because the other one might go a bit wasted, but I think a Rui Shi with a ML Zuyong and a couple of SMG Bounty Hunters is a great start.
I think, I will use this Fire Team in my first game with Dahshat. Offensive Zuyong Core Team ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 5 ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Haris, Tactical Awareness) Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot B (Deflector L2) / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife.

(0 | 12) BOUNTY HUNTER Boarding Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 15) RUI SHI Spitfire / Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20) 2 SWC | 110 Points That is 5+1 (TacAwareness) Orders to use with that team. with a 2W specialist, it is even able to press some buttons. Boarding shotgun for close range, Spitfire for medium range. For long range, I will use a Brawler MSR in a Haris (supported by some Kum Smoke grenades) Perhaps I change the Shotgun Bounty Hunter to Valerya - that Tinbot is sweet against hacking attacks - or Miranda for some extra button pushing
Did the Dahshat Zuyong always have a Tactical Awareness HMG option or was that recently added? I feel like I would have remembered seeing that before.
Whaaaat? No, that's definitely new. And it seems very intentional, since Yu Jing's version has Fireteam: Duo. That is a huge deal for this sectorial if it's not an error.
On monday or tuesday I did a screenshot of the Zuyong Profiles in Army (Web version)- there was definitely no Zuyong HMG (Tac Awareness) profile. This is great!!
Wtf?! Sorry but that's beyond retarded. That makes you easily capable of having 14 orders on first combat group, followed up by 8+ orders on second combat group. Now that they have that profile AND the Zencha, why the fuck should I bother with Invincible Army now?
WTF too! I'm going to assume that's going to be gone soon! That's just stupid! And I'm going to play Dahshat! It's just too good! I agree that why would you play IA? True they have NCO and Lt. 2 but Dahshat makes up for it just by having more orders. That anyone can use, not just a few specific troops. Though with what I want for team gets a little pricey. 5 ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Haris, Tactical Awareness) Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot B (Deflector L2) / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife.

@Space Ranger It gets much worse. With those changes Dahshat can make lists that makes me throw up a bit in my mouth.

The first group is a the meme-link with BS18 Spitfire and a Boarding shotgun + sniper to deal with akward range bands, followed up by potentially 9 activations on a Zuyong Haris or just dump the rest on the new McBroken, with his new Immunities and Berserk. Honestly. What the actual fuck is this. PS: I'm so sorry I'm now derailing this thread but I'm actually shocked and angered by these changes, from the perspective of IA. IA is almost dead to me now. I see no justification to play that sectorial now.
lol little tweek to make it worse, change TA Combi to Lt. HMG for 1 SWC! I think it might be over thinking it a bit. Yes it has Zuyong in it, but its not IA. It has lots of orders but mostly made of orders that can't do much themselves. Also big targets. There's 1 55mm base and 6 40mm! Now this would look more like IA, and act like it.

Even worse as Traktor Mul are S4 - so that is 3x 55mm and 4x 40mm Bases in your DZ to start with. I just checked Army Mobile (Android) - no Zuyong (TacAwareness) HMG profile there. Edit: updated Army Mobile did the trick :)

The last couple games I've been going with this but I've only played 4 games so far. and the last few I was stomped by Ramah before I could do much. So that's why I might be going with the second one next time.

Does everyone always use it in core? I've been theroy crafting some Dashat Lists cause IA is super disappointing, and buffed with a hacker on 15's through smoke is still pretty good! I mean it's good in other places solo! This let's me use a big brawler core for other things.

Haris is nice, core is better! But does have it's drawbacks. It looses it's speed for the most part, and it's a little harder to hide. It's also high on the list of must kill. But the core BS18 through smoke is sweet!
oh no doubt, the best part is that SSL2 but the S4 remote and 4 guys, is a little bulky, also you want valerya in a link but not to draw ARO when you buff, so that's a different link, I'm kinda playing with this link combo right now.
