Yu Jing Fireteams

I might take the Hulang FTO in an aggressive fireteam core to have a competent CC guy with them just in case.

Or for something like Looting and Sabotaging or even Countermeasures (he fulfills or helps fulfill a bunch thanks to Veteran, specialist, dcharges and good CC)

The Koalaman is still probably the best option, but I can see the FTO having a place in the right fireteam and situation.

 

I'm thinking the MULTI rifle profile could be good as a pointman. B4 AP/Shock and a light flamethrower (as well as good CC) means he can take on any threat once you deliver him and he can be the designated specialist. Just stick a long-range gun in his link to clear the approach.

 

He wouldn't be bad, that's for sure. On the other hand, the SMG profile brings something to the link that you can't get anywhere else in IA which is specfire with the e/m nades.

 

I would take it in a Haris team, probably. It's more mobile than a Core, you can be more aggressive with it and it looks hella sexy ;)



- The Tinbot + TA can be either a Zuyong or a Shang Ji (the last one sports a Direct Template Weapon and APHMG).
- Mr. Chief has either a LRL or K1 Combi + AP Mines, and that Repeater can be used by a Daoying HD or Haidao KHD.
- The Multi Rifle + LFT Hulang also looks really good. Granted, 5-AP/Shock shots are sweet but the DTW is necessary due to lack of visors/fighting midfield Camos (if you don't have another one on the other guys).



I really like in (on paper, I haven't tested it yet). I think it's versatile, self-sufficient and strong.

inb4 someone still uses an Assisted Fire Rui Shi to turn it into a moosh.

Edit: grammar

 

I would try the Hulang in a Fireteam. The Fireteam will take the Hulang where it needs to go, no problem, plus the Hulang will act as a deterrent to anyone thinking they can camp the Fireteam with a TAG or attack it in melee with a lowly Knight.

Hulang with E/M Grenades, Shang-Ji Hacker, Shang-Ji Monster, and the remaining two miniature frankly don't matter all that much.

Shang-Ji hacker brings a Hacking Specialist that can immobilize stuff like TAGs.
Shang-Ji monster brings a very potent long ranged threat, the Firewall that a Shang-Ji Hacker needs, and some order efficiency.
Hulang brings speculative fire grenades, some increasingly important melee capability, and very potent high-burst melee capability.
Both Shang-Ji bring Intuitive Attack for when Discover isn't enough.
The rest brings the fireteam bonuses up to +3 BS

Sure, that's 126 points, but it's a Fireteam that can do just about anything. The Shang-Ji monster can probably be sidegraded to a Haidao sniper, but the link gets very all-eggs-in-one-basket if you put the Haidao in here with the Shanger, so I'd probably put him in a Fireteam on the side. Since the Hulang's PH is on the low side, I'd probably want this to be an aggressive core, even if those tend to be difficult to handle for everyone involved.
Everyone got CC increases on their premium troops, but I think Yu Jing got a bit more than most, so piling on the Gang Up bonuses for the Hulang to get to terrifying levels should be all the more possible.

 

What about this Fireteam for IA/WB?

Attack pieces would be Rui Shi and Lu Duan to bring those Repeaters forward. Okay, fine, the Tinbot isn't as necessary now that KHD can't avoid Firewalls that the Rui Shi provides, but an extra -3 to opponent WIP can't hurt, now can it?

 

I was thinking much the same! The new Guilang Minelayer is especially useful for this in WB, since a pair of them can allow you to put Spotlight and/or worse on anything getting even close to the centre line, making them easy prey for a Hundun in reactive or even a Son-Bae if they can't clear the Spotlight by the end of their own turn. White Banner may actually be the best place in the game for such a Hacker-spam Fireteam thanks to the support available right from deployment and the Tinbot mule actually being useful.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the firewalls don't stack? So the Rui Shi repeater wouldn't help at all with the Tinbot already in play.

 

Thats exacly what Mahtamori said, tinbot on shanger is sort of wasted due to firewall from using opponents repeater but it is -6 instead of -3 hence the mention of extra -3 that can't hurt.

 

Ah I misread it.

 

There's one that gives +1 BS which is probably the favourite pick for them.

 

I'd take +1 DAM and WIP on the Lu Duan as that will affect the Heavy Flamer as well. Ditto for Weibing to make a Sat-lo- wait that's gone. Oh well.

 

I've got some memes cooking but they've got to wait for a bit before they're ready

 

They've never had tinbot options. This is the first time they can join a link with a tinbot.

 

I think for the minimal change in points and SWC you're better off going like this



By putting madtraps and the hacker in the same unit together, now you can plant the madtrap, then force them to either ARO reset against the carbonite or ARO dodge the madtrap. Either way, they're probably immobilised and ready to be killed by the gun of your choice with your next order as you come around the corner, the B3 BS22 Shotgun on the Wu Ming is a pretty good place to start.

 

Feels strange that the Wu Ming LGL is not the first thing added to a Wu Ming link anymore.

 

The one that now has an E/M GL? I won't lie; it's hard to choose what to bring in a Wu Ming core, but in a meta with lots of HI or TAGs, it'll probably find a home still.
