Can I also suggest anyone who thinks "Designer's characters are always OP" takes a look at Bran Do Castro and Le Muet.
Why bother? We know what the answer is, any contrary information goes in the memory hole and then we call MiniLuv on those who disagree with that answer.
It's pretty obvious that with the last round of releases the design team latched onto the combination of NWI and Immunity skills in a cargo-cult like fashion.
Citation please. you might want to review the characters in the game... theres a lot of them that you might not have noticed with the ol' eye patch on. Like why didn't perseus or hippolyta get shock immunity?
But, again, the answer is known, get with the program! Counterpoints are obviously flawed and should dismissed out of hand.
Must have been designed before they picked up this habit. If you compare him to the AP Marksman rifle Strelok, he's quite the deal for 6 more points, however.
A moment of lucidity? Hard to say. With the amount of models that get it these days, I'm genuinely surprised he didn't have it when I just went to check his profile, I had thought he did. For what it's worth, I do really like his profile. That said, the 'everyone and their dog getting NWI+Shock Immunity' didn't really become a thing until IA came out, and Pavel was before that. At which point, it's like the flood gates were opened. Ramuh, the heroes from Foreign Company, and Cuervo all end up drinking from that well. The combination went from feeling like a justification for Yu Jing's cheap, budget heavy armour to just feeling cheap.
That seems like an awfully convenient copout. How about you actually list out all of the characters, when they were released and who has what "OP skills" or would that actually be too self-evident of your own bias? So half of Forco got it. None of Ramah? and 1 o-12 guy. So much trend. Much convinced. Wow.
A good portion of Ramah got it or something similar. But it definitely is a trend, even if it's not hitting every model. But the trend definitely started after IA hit.
2 profiles and no characters. Since we were mainly talking about characters it seems strange to start citing Muktars as "a good portion" or evidence of a trend.
Out of the four profiles with NWI in Ramah, one of them has Shock Immunity, one of them has Bioimmunity, and one of them has Total Immunity.
