    In this thread, i wanted to summarise the pheroware weapon. If i have a mistake, please let me know. I wanted to do this to help with anybody, who has just started with spiral or might be playing against Spiral.

    Lets check the situation in an example haris.


    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────

    Pherobooster is a technical weapon, so uses the stat wip ; Wip 13
    In good range, less than 24inch ; you are attacking with wip 16 burst 2 ( Because technical weapons cant get bonus from the links. )

    Even there is tricore unit inside the link ,you cant get more bonuses. Neither extra burst, nor +1 from tricore.

    This wip16 burst 2 attack doesnt care if the opponent unit has cover or not. so it is like wip 16 2 burst attack with marksmanship skill, since this weapon also has comms attack trait. If opponent decides to dodge, it is a mistake and opponent can be marked and wounded, cause of it is a comms attack. (because normally he had to reset instead).

    Maybe victim cant gain cover bonus but it gains positive help from any comms defence. So firewalls defend the opponents' unit. Equipments like tinbots, hacking programs like fairy dust help the defender.

    Example : Lets assume that defender unit has the advantage of tinbot (firewall -6) . Suddenly situation becomes worser for the attacker and wip16 2 burst attacks become wip10 2 burst.

    If it becomes a face to face and if the pheroware attack is succesful, opponent unit becomes marked apart from getting a wound.( if he fails the BTS check). this is also considered as a succesful objective. Important to verify that weapon has bioweapon tag. Bioweapons can only damage or mark units with Wound atribute only.

    If the face to face sequence was succesful on the opponent's unit side, there is no marked state condition for the opponents' unit.

    In face to face , all sorts of mimetism is valid . Lets say for mimetism -3 ;
    wip 16 2 burst attack becomes wip 13 2 burst instead.

    You have to win the F2F and they have to fail their save in order for targetted to apply. Just hitting them isn't enough

    would be cool if a volunteer guy makes the same for bombs and mates. Maybe we can add these in a spiral tactics thread soon.

    Also worth noting that while it can't benefit from cover, it can benefit from Firewall. So Fairy Dust or Tinbots would benefit the defender versus the Pherobooster.

    I do not believe it counts as a successful objective anymore. The note indicating that it counts towards classifieds does not exist in this edition.
