Limited camo and climbing plus would be enough, I think. Not so big change in profile and does not bring smoke if CB does not want it in IA, but can make the unit usable.
Nah, it was short lived with Uprising, with YJ salt being real. Now the dust is settled, we are mostly okay and now that the initial joys from Varuna have settled, the salty players of PanO are a thing again, especially now with O-12. As of now, this sub forum is mostly stuck on; Plox buff Guija\ Plox re-work Shang-Ji Plox re-work Pheasant Make Hulangs playable Most, if not all, the points are quite legit complaints and the rest of forums appears quite content from what I can observe.
That would work. I know people want to give him more defence because he ass in the wind in IA. I that is a good thing. For me its a hard pill to swollow paying 44pts for a BS 12 troop. They made him a glass cannon. He needs to be an actual cannon. Buffing his survivability would be wonderful so he can qusia midfield skrimmish. At the minimum he needs BS 13 if that does not happen imo. I have not read anyone commemt on his BS before. 2 actual wounds would help too.
Is it really that bad to ask for a profile that we spend a premium for that can live through a turn if we have second turn? Yeah we know there are dozens of profiles that never get used in this game across the board. IA has a small roster that does not need filler trooper profiles like Gujia, Hulang, and Krit Flacid. To me if there was more options maybe it would be easier to overlook.
NWI + Shock / Bio Immunity is indeed not worse for forward deployed unit than 2 actual wounds (I would like to piss in the eyes of a person, decided that Zhencha is a hackable HI though).
I remember good old quote. "How an Earth Hulang's a disappointment?" Believe me, Hulang's that bad. So far it was the most humourous comment about Hulang. It desperately need some buff. I'm not that negative about YJ, but Hulang, well..
A marker state option but without special operative? That way you still need zhencha around. Don't forget about Bao. Though we don't talk about them much, I want them to be the human rights trampling, door busting swat team they are fluffed as. Shit like mml1, for shock, Vulcan shotguns, frenzy for fire team cheapness. Basically I want a fire team of finkas and yings from r6 siege.
Eh. N4's coming. Maybe CB thought of a way to balance Markers, Smoke and Hacking better. Without a better grasp of the rules changes it's not worth looking for X gear on Y model, as it could be completely irrelevant or gone inside a year.
Saw the new model, got pumped, looked at the profile again, the it's for the worst choice of a bad profile.
The point of the Hulang is the sword. Only because for some reason they decided that the assassin unit should have button pressing capabilities. On the other hand it's going to be an estimate of 46 points with Camo, which is a significant difference to the Zhencha... Also, Climb+ is a huge difference
