    I don't think it's needless or hyperbole. Oniwanban requires an unreliable roll and orders sunk into being in that position. Domaru ate a lot of orders to get into cc. Another other army just hits it with a ML.

    Since I'm here again consider this: bs attack link team bonus is 1 guy standing up making a buffed attack while 4 others prone in safety. Cc attack link team bonus is 5 minis piled on and exposed.

    Public service announcement:

    Do not dodge into melee with your oniwaban. Either accept the risk of a trade and declare an attack or stay the F away from template weapons and find another approach. Your dodge is only 60% effective. Don't trade away a strong chance to slay a tag for a smaller chance to survive the order.

    Yeah, and that's exactly the reason you HFT the Oniwaban. He's not going to take the risk of dodging for opposed rolls when he can just take the unopposed rolls at risk of dying.

    To be fair berserk, total immunity and nbw is an unprecedented combination that is honestly retarded

    Turns out everything has a counter or an exception. Who knew?

    One of the points in the thread is, these profiles did not exist in this form some months ago. Shinobu was the uncontested queen of close combat.

    Some weeks ago, Shinobu had a great chance to also kill the opponent. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that stupid to take on a melee specialist with Shinobu, but it is a good example on how rule these additions little by little weaken existing sectorials.

    I will agree that this example proves that JSA has been weakened in the games where Shinobu attempts to gank Valkyrie.

    But this engagement is already a “6 whisky” scenario for me, and by that time I have worse problems.

    Valkyrie has some challenges initiating combat though. For her to get smoke support, either Massacre or Pupniks need to be close. If that's the case, things are already pretty dangerous from a combat perspective anyway.
