Its constituent parts when considered in isolation are fine, but as a whole it's not great for the cost and downsides.
Please remember that Mines are an easy example, but it's not about Mines: it's about the presence of lots of Shock ammo. And there is a lot of it...
Ninja has TO Camo, vs 1W+NWI/SI and Mimetism. Hulang is more resilient to actual damage, but that's riskier (you might just drop both wounds); TO...
0% die because none of them try to drop on their heads? :wink:
Right, so how is any unit with more than 1W not astronomically costed if that's the case? Surely everything should just be 1W, because otherwise...
If you know it's a mine, sure. It's not always easy to tell, plus they're not totally reactive, what with the corner truck and everything. Plus...
Haidao KHD is our cheapest HI Hacker, not the awful Shang Ji AHD. Shang Ji needs a full rework, not a band aid fix.
They do offer protection: it auto hits and can still bring down HI. Maybe not in a single hit but that's kind of the point of being HI! Do mines...
If 4 35pt 1W+NWI+Shock Immunity HI is broken, then surely 4 34pt 1W+NWI HI are broken. We've been told a dozen times that Shock totally isn't...
It's not even that it's bad, it's what @Durandal said: it's a jarring design. It's the only 1W+NWI HI that doesn't have Shock/Bioimmunity. That,...
NCO/TA does seem to be a big factor in some of the IA balance factoring, and it's certainly not to be sniffed at! I do feel that it's pushing the...
@Alphz - Yeah, there's definitely some good stuff coming in through IA. I'm looking forward to having an elite sectorial that can run a reasonably...
All Yan Huo profiles can do a Duo with all other Yan Huo profiles, or any of the Wildcard options (Shang Ji, Haidao, Son-Bae, or the Pangguling...
Sigh. Couldn't you have just ended your post with a purely positive message, instead of being a jerk and making an entirely v unnecessary jab at...
@Durandal - well said, so very well said!
There's also a major difference between the uses of swear words. Fuck as an adverb or adjective isn't necessarily offensive; it's functionally...
Yeah, I think Mowang or Tai Sheng plus a Daoying are going to become the de facto starting point of IA lists. 21|0 as a base for 3 Regular Orders...
Even then, the Yan Huo profiles are mostly long ranged - none of them really want to be in closer than 12" if they can help it!
Agreed on the Zhencha, but the Breaker Combi Tai Sheng is a decent profile!
@Bostria - is there anything in the pipeline for the poor Shang Ji? It's still horribly outmatched by other options, both in Vanilla and IA...
