So most units didn't change much, but I spot a few VERY notable Fireteam changes: Daiyokai - any number in a Domaru Fireteam, so can be Core Unlike the preview, Domaru do have Frenzy and Frenzy now activates during the end step of the current Phase Neko does indeed get Tactical Awareness Karakuri is one of few units with a higher PH value for Gizmokit (still low at 12) Yuriko did get Mimetism Kempeitai - any number in a Keisotsu link (I think they were limited to 2 previously) Aragoto about 4 points cheaper than Lawkeepers O-Yoroi dropped 1 PH and picked up MA2, now a manageable 75 points Oniwaban vs Shinobu is now slightly more involved. Shinobu gained Climb+ while Oniwaban gained E/M CCW and is clearly cheaper. Rui Shi and Lu Duan both got more expensive
There is no Kuroshi raider - or im blind Ryuken 9 - now a hacker profile and al profiles now got mimetism -6 Yojimbo 18 p and immune to crits Tanko now dirty cheap Domaru Get Fatality 1 - aka +1 deamage BS Shikami same cost or higher - but Forward deploy +4 and 6-2 move and no granade but Flash pulse Kuracao - they all loos DERP and get Panzer faust instade
The big fireteam changes seem to be Kempei/Yuriko FTO wildcard, Karakuri and Domaru now freely Haris, and Daiyokai can core with Domaru
Yojimbo has Minelayer when dismounted and it only says Crazykoala, so I guess he only gets 1? Same with the O-Yoroi, only 1 crazykoala?
Kuiroshi is back :) and changed - no more Flamethower - instade light shooty no longer special operative now Forvard Observer , Smoke granades on bike and D charges in all profiles \ and MA lvl 1
So having read the rules now mounted Yojimbo does not have Minelayer which mean he can not place a CrazyKoala when he is deploying, unless he deploys unmounted (which I'm not sure is allowed). But he doesn't have to get off the bike to place one but it would take 2 actions to place down both. One the plus side when place a perimeter weapon as an action you don't have to place it in BtB, it can be placed anywhere in your Zoc.
Biggest gamechangers to me seem to be: * Everything feels cheaper. Especially Domaru and Tanko, as well as O-Yoroi, Saito, and many others. * Domaru shooting being upgunned with FAT1. * Fireteams: Domaru get in-built haris. Yuriko and Kempeitai are Wildcards. Daiyokai can core with DoTanko. * Kuroshi Rider: Cheaper, and SMOKES. * O-Yoroi and Yojimbo get minelayer. Start with * Ryuken 9 get KHD. * Shinobu actually got climbing plus. and... - Shikami don't have stealth. The mobile midfielder ninja will now be eating hacking AROs all the time. Still hoping this is a bug; if not, that would be the one huge disappointment and I have no idea what the reasoning for this may have been.
