Neither of the Zhencha shotgun profiles get mines, unfortunately.
I was comparing these guys more directly to the Hulang. Zhencha and Zuyong as they are are not problem units in IA (now, Dashat...). But the...
Honestly, it's usually the other way around. I rarely even think about the Mowang when the Su-Jian is available as an option.
Got my first real game in against Ramuh, and wow. Hortlaks, Namurrs, and Mukhtars, Nahabs... they're honestly just better versions of IA units,...
LGL Wu Ming is one of the few units in the game that can really take advantage of speculative fire in a reliable fashion, and it's one of the few...
Once the honeymoon phase of the Hulang came to an end, and people became aware of its tricks and its toolkit, I find myself having a really hard...
...which comes right back around to the problem of giving everyone and their dog pseudo 2-wound units and then looking at heavy infantry. Being HI...
I can more than get on board with that.
I meant more along the lines of the 5-man Rui Shi combined with the much stronger midfield support that Dashat can provide. The Hai Dao is...
The Hac Tao and Mowang are better in vanilla anyway. The Liu Xing is mediocre and also better in vanilla (where it gets outclassed by the Tiger...
SMGs also get suppressing fire, which is another great bit of utility.
A character is just about the only way you could get me to care about the HMG Yan Huo.
Run Dashat and use Saito instead. Problem solved. The Hulang doesn't really have a purpose in IA. It exists to supplement vanilla and to be...
IA is boring, predictable, and half finished; but they're certainly not uncompetitive. And access to smoke wouldn't do much to change that problem...
The Guijia is more of a joke at YJ players' expense than an actual unit at this point. Better, more meta-relevant TAGs getting buffs and expanded...
I'd say that Core linkable Rui Shi with some incredibly good smoke support helps to do far more than leverage some of those disadvantages over IA.
And then when you do want to accomplish something that does require more specific movement abilities, just break them off once you need to, and...
Not going to lie, it feels like this update came with a decent amount of power creep. Even looking at Ramuh, it feels that most of the profiles...
Eh... I don't trust doctors. They always kill far more of my models than they save and waste a bunch of orders doing it.
Stupid, silly bullshit gimmicks that probably shouldn't work but are hilarious when they do.
