The Diktalas are re-named Dakini the same way Fennec are Fusiliers. But a repeater version! I'm going to scream if the feet and ankle joints are the same! Sorry for some reason I can't get my screen shot to work to get each profile.
I am watching the video and posting in real time: Now this is what I'm talking about! I am not sure about the Marksman rifle, but it's better than just a multi rifle. Trinity now has +1SD instead of PS=4, which increases success rate
Dasyu is pretty interesting (FO for example with DR). Looses NWI, but BS +1SD can be brutal on ARO Multisniper...
Dasyu now synergize with Naga very well: Lots of DR and a Carbonite +1SD... and if you need it: you have another sniper +1SD for ARO piece that *is* on the table if you need it
I need to wrap my head around it, but it's cheap E/Marat, potentially HRiotstopper that has a say in CC too
Pair it with a Naga that has Monofilament or Shock and all of a sudden there's quite many camo on the table and you may just walk into the wrong alley...
I’m not excited the Asura went up in points but man, it gained some hot stuff. ECM -3, AP Spitfire, Multi-Marksman, +1 order LT. etc. Again a cool looking CC weapon without good CC lol. Shruka didn’t seem to change at all. Dasyus are cool. The +1 SD is great on the sniper but not sure I’d be using him for a sniper. And it’s not that special on a SMG or BSG. +1B would have been better. Infiltration re-roll is not bad. Naga is ok. I really like the FO with deployable repeater. Dikpala are Dakini with a different name. But they have a profile with a repeater and Panzerfaust. That I like. The Kinnara are cool. Surprisingly good CC. I’m not keen on Infiltrators without camo but if going first, having Sensor right in the middle of the board is fantastic! Decoy (2) is a big help and can be used when using parachutist too I believe.
Dakini resculpt is a bit sad. And on top of it now when they added new 13pt profile with SMG+PF and Repeater we still get 3 combi models. I know its sort of a rule that every box like this needs 3 basic infantry with combi but cmon, they cost the same and with all the utility who's not gonna use more of the SMG ones than Combi?
I did not see I swaer... oh well: the prediction came true . 2 Scoutbots is tasty indeed. The CJC part is going to give a lot of headaches... On Dikpala/Dakini... I did not hear (may have misheard, please help me there) that Dakini disappear. Dikpala have the ECM -3 and they are troopers for a hacking heavy faction (OSS), while Dakini may still be a thing in vAleph... which, if it was confirmed, is an interesting possibility. Also consider that Dikpala have ECM-3 on a trooper and they cost the same of Dakini... I don't know exactly what that may mean, but in case: the best cheerleader in the game, just got better
This is maybe a mistake but did anyone see that Thorakitai are in OSS!? But they are not in the fireteam chart. So could be like an AVA1 thing? I think the Pilot X is the TAG pilot. Pretty obvious. Looks like several characters: Dr. Clair Lazhari, Johnny Kao, Kyra Sharma Looks like no flyer as of now.
Weird that Parvati is going away. I guess they didn't want the Asura, Shakti, Parvati Haris that could do 16 classifieds by themselves.
There is still a possibility that she'll be there in the final version, or that one of the new characters will be basically a renaming. Should that happen this would be the perfect opportunity to further balance her against Sophotect.
