So, what do we want from the Long Wang? (Other than saying every single time that you are pulling out your Long Wang ) We think it's going to be a small TAG. Size 6. That's what I want anyway. And ARM 6-7. HMG with ADHL (I'm assuming with). Mk12 with ADHL. +1 damage is sick on a Mk12. I use with my Chaksa and it rips guys up. But this would also mean it's ZERO SWC. Since it's feels like it's meant for urban combat, I want climb+ to help with buildings. Tinbot -6 would be fantastic or ECM. Sensor is an ISS thing and cool. Duo with a Weibing would be a cool alternative. One of my favorite duo’s in Starmada is the Roadbot with the Okko. The O12 FO bot. It helps it also has C+ but just being able to move it up fast and sensor stuff is awesome with a partner who can then take out the camo item.
If it's effectivly a TB Wrecker clone with Remote Presence swapped for Piloted and a visor or sensor thrown in at the same approximate points then I'll be happy.
My hopes: 1. Made out of something else than metal (but that's a given at this point with large models) 2. Some DTW in addition to the Riotstopper. Glue is good and all but some nanopulser wouldn't hurt. I feel every TAG naked without a damage capable direct template weapon
That is an interesting point; with a riotstopper and a Para CCW it might struggle to actually remove enemy troopers if it doesn't also have a pistol so having one unsupported could hurt.
Cool TAG. BS-3 on a YJ unit - impressive. Not as broken as the SilverStar but still a big guy with flexability. Nit cheap but you get a good package. I like it. Adhesive with B2 or 3. Riotstopper. Only plain HMG but hard to hit.
BS Attack (-3) is a flavourless cancer of a skill that I'd be happy to see removed in its entirety. It and the increasing prevalence of Eclipse mark a move in a direction that is removing the importance of interactivity in Infinity. Overall, it looks boring and strong. I'm unsurprised and unenthused.
I'd be fine with Mimetisim. I expected boring. It's Yu Jing. They make them a generalist army in a specialist world. I don't mind boring if it's cheap and this is NOT cheap. And we know that ISS is not going to be a cheap faction. With a few exceptions.
It looks strong in N4 context, lets wait and see how it compares to the rest of N5 guys. He is most likely going to be released in Shitcast, my Blue Wolf is gonna see even more table time, but this time with Tag Raid YJ S1 mecha doggo.
Some more goodies for Yu Jing. BS (-x) looks like will have a counter witch is quite common, old veteran skill (Warhorse).
So every Morat (theoretically) can ignore the bs-3 ability. Slap on them an MSV and their BS will never gets reduced! (Apart from cover).
Yeah he's better but also more expensive! 49pts! After you take him, I doubt you will be taking LW or SJ. I want a version still with breaker. He was one of the few that could damage Bears in WB. Edit: Also 1.5 SWC. So far I'm not getting my hopes up at all. We will have the most expensive thing in ISS with the Long Wang and Adil has gone up as well. We need prices to come down! Is Yu Jing going through Inflation too? Sure Adil looks great on his own but that means nothing when he's the ONLY one. I can't see anyone taking this Adil and then also the Long Wang or Su Jian. Again in Yu Jing it's a choice this OR that. There is no AND. Ok sure, we haven't seen much else yet. But their track record with Yu Jing blows.
Thanks to @Wizzy We will be keeping Sforza. Also, it looks like Immunity (Total) might be changing to Immunity (ARM). At least I hope so.
I doubt he will be able to join Wu Ming. Immunity ARM seems like a waste on something with ARM 2. He can tank a missile but goes down to combi rifle. Even now, in O12, no one takes Jackboots with Immunity Total. They are ARM3 with 1 wound. They are too expensive for the little they do.
Adil is a wildcard in ISS and WB, its right there under the profile. Adil in a harris with lvl2 purity for +1B sounds good.
