Onyx ITS Help

Well for those missions you will need a heavy specialist list and a second one that can be more light and pick more firepower.


Highly Classified is hard for Onix for just one think, the med tech is our only source for too much objectives so you must protect him,.. I recommend Maligno hacker ( he can do more or less half of the objectives) + Med tech + Unidrone Core with just one special weapon + keru neru. The other two missions do not need too much specialists. Use a Maligno in hidden deployment to get quickly to one objective and I usually run with some TAG/Umbra to do the second one.

But in supplies usually there are two plans, go first take one or two boxes and do a bunker in your deploy zone using at the same time some rambo unit to clean his order pool or the second one, kill them slow and let him waste order taking boxes just to try to steal them on the last round.


For the second question:


Plan A and B to attack, it depends of the cost of what you like. I personally love the Sphinx with some cheap support like a fraacta or even an Umbra. But without considering the Sphinx you can pick one of the strongest point of Onix, to cheap strong troops. The Overdron is fine, good datatracker and with HMC can work pretty well into power pack saturation zone. As a plan B consider a Suryat hmg or if you like the hard option the Samaritan.


The Samaritan is hard to play well, it is too weak until he eat the first victim, but when you stomp with the CC he can kill more or less everything. The Spitfire option is good and can do some kamikaze jumps to shot when he get the three wounds. The assault hacker is fine if you need specialist but the ranges are very short so you will need a dedicated order group to make it worth.


The Suryat is basic, a heavy dude with an HMG but it have his strong point in comparation with the overdrone, cheaper ( you can pick it + fraacta/umbra for the cost of one overdrone), he can get prone and is easy to hidde ( S2) but is weaker in direct fight.


As a C plan, if oyu pick cheap A and B options, you can always have a fraacta shotgun (is my favourite in terms of cost/destruction).


Finally consider that a full Unidron Core with a plasma sniper + hacker to upgrade him is a very strong attack option to clean the enemy ARO pieces before the big guys try to move. ( 3 shots at 17)

I hope this helps you!

 

If you're looking to take objectives quickly you do have some options with Onyx. First of all I'd always sweep away your enemy's ARO pieces (you are playing OCF so your tactics are probably leaning to alpha strike),

After for objectives: You have fast basic units like the umbra which can be specialists, and the malignos which obviously start closer, both of which are costly. You also have the option of the M and the E drone which are 6-4 movement specialists and the E-drone also has the capacity to buff itself, the M or one of your other bots for higher damage potential and then both carry weapons capable of suppression to slow down any counter attack. As these two are also considerably less costly it then leaves you with some points to play with in terms of Fraacta, Sith lords, Rodoks or TAGs

Onyx: come for the umbra, stay for the drones.

Also always take Doc Boobworm, he's too essential for classified catching/getting your link back to 5 men. I generally save him as a last resort option as he's also rather squishy and expensive to risk over extending him.
