New Bran is like so, so good. Like maybe toooooo good. But he also feels a bit off. His whole thing was super jump PLUS Climbing plus. And hitting people with both ends of his stick. He is a monkey boy after all!! I feel like it might be better for all concerned if he paid a couple more pts to get his DA CCW and C+ back!
He's definitely not too good. Only fitted for the current DTW riddled enviroment and still vulnerable to most of the fireteam double templates. It doesn't feel off, it's an actual disadvantage for him since he loses the possibility to use unique attack vectors. But now he can courageously run around looking for a ladder... He's still a good melee fighter but now has to choose his targets more wisely if he wants to CC someone. Anyways, his mainly chosen loadout will still be the BSG one for the threat of double template whilst the BCR will be more of a novelty (how about a 33 points Suppression Fire turret right at the DZ border start of Round 1?). Here a DTW like a Zapper would've worked wonders. Luckily C+ and Courage are both taxed with 1 Point in "the Formula" so this could be a good fix without any point changes.
He's become an anti- bear platform with the breaker combi. IME its a role that needed filling for nomads. I'm happy with the design choice.
